Chelation & Continuing ERT?

[Guest guest]

I've grown frustrated over whether or not to continue using

prescribed estrogen patches. Current literature that comes with

them states they can exacerbate liver tumors (hepatic hemangiomas)

which I have, are linked to breast cancer, hypothyroid conditions,

etc., etc., etc. Because of an early, complete hysterectomy, I've

been on this med 15 years.

Is there any reason, from a chelation standpoint, to stay on this

medication? I have gone off on a couple occasions due to breast

tenderness/calcifications & fluid retention, and went back on

because I do recall words for/names of things better on a low dose

of the medication. Learning about the liver tumor thing has made me

very uncomfortable with continuing, as the hemangiomas found 4 years

ago were already fairly large. I have read estrogen has a

neuroprotective effect and really need an answer. If my own

extremely low estrogen levels have made me more vulnerable to

neurological damage from mercury, it's a bit scarey to chelate

without taking ERT.

Thanks,
