Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Don't get me wrong, I do NOT belong to the " it's all mercury camp. " I am not even close to that mindset, but I do take into consideration the fact that we are rasing children in a toxic soup of chemicals. The pristine fluid we are all supposed to develop in (amniotic fluid) is about as pristine as the great lakes (ie -- not very!) My kids are all non-vaccinated (because I didn't want to add to their internal pollution!). I still consider them pretty polluted and I am not happy about that. FYI, Dr. Cranton's site has not been updated to include the newer acurate tests for determining mercury levels. This new technology changes everything about his claims. It is true what you say about typical Americans being very toxic. That was also brought up at the ASA conference. I had no idea that the European lab that many are using to measure mercury toxicity had to recalibrate their equipment to accommodate the american childrens' samples. Apparently our kids have 25 times the mercury of the European kids using the lab. In Europe, they do not have coal burning mercury pollution to deal with. It's all nuclear. I would speculate that SCD and other non-chelation methods help rid the body of toxins, but I can't imagine anyone claiming to know how effective a " chelator " SCD is since nobody even agrees how effective the actual chelators are at chelation. Is anyone here doing SCD (and nothing else) and also using the heme test to measure mercury and lead levels stored in the tissues? - Bunce wrote: This link might interest some of you.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi I just noticed this thread, I think I originated it in 05. I had been doing SCD for 9 months prior to that gfcf nr 2yrs and had many symptoms improve but not issues of constipation and energy (going up stairs was hard), concentration were not getting better quickly it was like I was just controlling the symtoms but potentially slowly rebuilding my body. On gfcf I had also tried everything else and all sort of anti fungals/bacterials and antibiotics. I did decide in the end to try chelation using the method I mentioned. After 2 yrs of being ill in three months I could run for 5 mins, walk for miles and constipation cleared, concentration issues cleared. 6 months roughly I tried pumkin and squashs before these including carrots caused problems, 3 months after that rice and more sport like weight training, just over a yr since starting chelation pototoes and now I have been able to play football again. Right now cow casein and gluten is still an issue but its minor and I am fine by the next day after trying a small amount. i.e. butter (cow) the slightest bit of protein really aggrevates me. Gluten is no so bad I could eat a bread roll with minor effect but I bet if I had cream or milk it would be a very bad reaction. Which made me think some aerobic bacteria or yeast is still prsent but less so hence my other post a couple of days ago on LPS. In addition to SCD and chelation I have been eating yogurt 8oz day, kefir 8oz day and sauerkraut. But the changes I have seen with chelation we very fast. This is just my story and I hope to get over this last hurdle with the casein but I don't know if its mercury still effecting enzymes although I do not get any real mercury symptoms now or if there is still a small ammount of bacteria there but my immune system is stronger now so keeps it mostly in check but not 100% yet?
