Re: chemical sensitivities, Dean

[Guest guest]

I came into this post a little late, but I am not sure what NAC is

etc...My mother is getting her dental revision next week because she

has been suffering for years with idiopathic stuff, but recently she

has been chocking and couphing all day when certain odors are

present. My dad can not make coffee or it will send her couphing and

gagging for hours and I cannot make popcorn for my kids when she is

around. Growing up I remember her being unable to tolerate cleaning

chemicals etc...

Doctors have been telling her it is " reflux " yet none of the meds

help, so I thought this was all related to her mouthfull of amalgams

and gold crowns...etc.

Dean, is there something I am missing? Will the removal and

chelation ultimately help? We are even concerned she will " choke "

during her revision next week.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.!

Thank you Dean, I don't think I could stop her from getting her

revision...this 2 week trip to Mexico was booked with the dentist

almost 7 months ago. She has been slow to come around to the whole

amalgam connection, so I think I could scare her off completely. Is

there any smart way to do this with the revision still scheduled?

She has committed to chelating per Cutler protocol, but doesn't

really want to " learn " anything too in depth.

Other health issues, mainly thyroid. For years she struggled with

Dr.'s who could not agree on what the problem with her thyroid

was...yes elevated, no elevated ...yes synthroid...no synthroid. It

was sad. Finally a Holistic Dr. (Brownstein) located a huge goiter

on her thyroid within 5 minutes of seeing her. A biopsy showed it

was benign. He has her on Iodoral and DHEA etc...I niavely though

he was giving her enough support.

Now, I am overwhelmed, but am so wanting to help her. I just don't

want her to crash.
