I have gone along with them all along. > J Hi and others, I'm back home in South Africa thanks (not New Zealand :-)), though I'm still missing a few posts here and there while I catch up. I can accept hair tests now for posting if anyone was wanting to send previously. I am cured from my symptoms, thanks primarily to Andy, good people on this form and others that have helped me. It took a few years and I'm now aiming for optimal health. I chelated for a year and a half to remove my symptoms. Despite my symptoms leaving, my last hair test shows higher mercury that the first (presumably because it is being properly excreted now) and so I intend chelating for some more despite no symptoms, and then following a once a month maintenance chelation round My hair test now shows normal mineral transport. I was moderately poisoned. I have residue of adrenal and especially thyroid problems post amalgam illness and chelation, that I'm now working on, but I do not need to take supplements to feel good or function. While on holiday I needed none. I did this all building up very slowing to only 50mg of DMSA and 33mg of ALA. The times when I increased beyond that I hurt myself. LOW and SLOW is definitely the way to GO. And don't GO anywhere until you have had a hair test, and more importantly checked your adrenal and thyroid (with blood tests and temperatures), or you might go backwards :-) Thanks, DeanNetwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ok, I will make a file. Someone will have to tell me when to add to it. Over the years I have collected various posts - like the stories of improper chelation, success stories, and Andy's posts but I always get so overwhelmed that I never finish and put them in the files section.
