A few questions from a beginner

[Guest guest]

Hi.

I am about halfway through Amalgam Illness, the book. I'm looking into chelation

for

myself and my husband. My husband is way worse in terms of his health being

affected,

but I am also affected physically. I got my 3 tiny amalgams removed all at once

Dec. 21,

07. It's been 2 months, and I'm starting to act like him! He hasn't had any of

his 4 large

amalgams removed yet. I've always been the " sane " one between the two of us,

until just

these past 2 weeks. I must be hitting that 2-month low point Andy talks about.

I'm not

doing DMSA, but now I think I should be, prior to ALA.

Questions: in the past 2 months, I now weigh less than ever before. My BMI is

19.1, I think.

My dietitian mother says. 19 and below, in her field, is considered

malnourished.My

breasts have shrunk to look like they did when I was about, say, 12 years old?

How

humiliating. My thighs, hips, and face are all much leaner than ever. I eat lots

of ice cream,

trying to increase my calorie load, since I am always plenty full after every

meal, and I'm

not exactly walking around hungry--not at all. So far I'm not gaining weight

with the extra

ice cream calories, but my mom says consume an extra 500 cal. per week to gain 1

pound

per week, so maybe I should wait a month of doing this before seeing if I can

gain. So why

am I losing so much weight? My mom sews clothes for me and she said from October

to

Feb., my hip measurement decreased by 2 inches. Here's my question: is this what

Andy

calls low cortisol levels? How can I know for sure?

Second question: I got all my amalgams removed at once, but mine were small and

my

hubby's are 4 large ones. Now I'm thinking about spacing out his filling

removals. How

long should we wait between getting each one of his removed? I know we can't

even start

the ALA until 3 months after the last one is removed from him, right? That'll

really be

awhile. I'm so impatient, because we've been trying to conceive without success

for over a

year now. We really want a baby, so taking time with these things is difficult

for me to put

up with, emotionally. But I really think mercury is at the root of the

infertility, so I know

it's best to do this right.

Help!

Thanks
