Re: Improvements ater 4 rounds

[Guest guest]

Your improvements are really great after only 4 rounds. You should be

very happy with that. Remember how these improvements feel and keep

them in mind as you continue to chelate, especially if there are

times when symptoms are taking longer to improve. Hopefully you will

continue to improve with this speed. I will cross my fingers for you.

The monetary cost is unfortunate. If you ask, you will find a large

number of people with mercury toxicity have gone through a lot of

money looking for cures, paying for supplements, plus the cost of

time taken off work, etc.

Personally I have spent an enormous amount of money (well over $3k)

and so has a close friend who is also chelating. A lot of that is

lost wages when I couldn't work or had to take time off for

appointments, the rest is doctor's not covered by insurance and then

the cost of supplies.

At the end of the day, what's money without your health.
