>>Ca/P is low - fast oxidizer. Probably would do well on digestive enzymes,

>>high vitamin D, and a high fat diet.

>Digestive Enzymes - HCL w/ Pepsin 650mg/capsule - how many w/ meals? Been

>taking 1-2.

That's fine. I believe pepsin is only amylase (digests carbs). Check if I am

right, but if so then you might try something which also has lipases (for fats)

and proteases (proteins).

>Triphala- 1,000 mg - have not started yet, recommends to take 2 2x/day

I don't know about triphala use. When we recommend vitamin C, it's usually to

get in as much as you can. That point comes at bowel tolerance. Does the same

happen with triphala, if you just keep on upping the amount you take?

>Vit D - taking 400iu/day - is that enough?

No. Take 1200IU. Andy suggests keeping it below 2000IU.

>>methylation enhancers (for arsenic)- take Jarrow " Homocysteine support " .

>>Chelate w/ DMSA 3 days/month for arsenic and Lead

>>Imagine mercury in the brain - add ALA after 3 months of DMSA?

>I do not remember how many IV treatments I did, guess it was close to 20.

It is <<possible>> that whatever mercury you have left is in the brain, so you

may want to consider using ALA for a bit, just to see what kind of reaction you

have. If you do have symptomatic response, that tells you that there is some

mercury still there. If you don't then there's no need to continue.

>>Have you tested thyroid?

>No, which test do you recommend? Saliva from Canary?

On that, ask for input from someone else here. I know that you need to test

free T3, free T4, TSH and antibodies, then use the interpretation that Andy

suggests in Amalgam Illness. Others here can direct you to a good lab, if you

don't have a practitioner that you want to do it with.

>Temp. before getting out of bed 97.5 range

>Temp. taking throughout the day consistently below 98.6 - even after starting

>ACE

Ya. Sound like you're got a little something happening. I haven't paid a lot

of attention to thyroid details (just cause I was one of the rare cases where

my thyroid was ok), but I understand a little thyroid support can go a long

way. Again, ask the others on the list.

It's ok to take about 2000 iu per day. It would be good to test 25

(OH)vitamin D and serum Ca.

I would think that it is highly probably that the IVs forced mercury

into the brain. The hair test is likely misleading because of the IVs.

Dave ,

What should we use if we are high in Aluminum ?

TK--- one avoids all exposure to aluminum to reduce levels - food,

cooking utensils, deodorants, soda cans etc..
