Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hi - We're both working with and are in the process of getting testing completed. mentioned maybe putting him on some thyroid - I guess it will depend on the results of the other tests. Thanks so much for your input and for the examples you gave. Hopefully my husband will be willing to get his fillings replaced (and maybe even chelate). He did become much more interested in the topic after seeing the video from U. Calgary showing what mercury does to brain neurons (and also the one showing mercury " smoking " off of even old fillings).

This could be, in part, due to the many years of supplements. There still could be a significant quantity of mercury in the brain (and that doesn't show up on hair tests). I would see removing amalgams and chelation as an investment in his future health. Once all amalgams are removed, the reaction he gets with a trial of chelation will give him any evidence he needs to proceed. With someone of this age I am reminded of my grandmother. She was in good health until the age of 70 when she started having mobility problems, which turned out to be Parkinson's. I cared for her for most of age 70-90. I remember thinking that it wasn't " fair " that she had to suffer so much. One of my uncles had all of his molars removed at about age 40 (therefore no amalgam from then on). He was in good health, productive and even had a decent memory, until he passed away at about 91. Both my grandmother and uncle had hay fever, btw. My uncle's hay fever cleared up mysteriously in mid life.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks very much for the reply Dave, i will look into adding some more supplements as i am already take some of the mentioned ones as above. I have been chelating DMSA for the last 3 months, and i added ALA for the first time this week. Of course on the Anyds protocol every 3 hours for me as that seems to fit better. Does DMSA cover Arsenic also or only ALA ? > > If you want to report on symptoms or what your present exposure is, then I'd be > interested in know. Where did you get all this mercury, anyway? > I would like to believe my present exposure is no longer as i have had 10 Amalgam fillings(i pressume and suspected thats were all the mercury has come from) removed with the last one being removed in Feb. Where has the arsenic come from, or could that have come from the Amalgams also ? Do you have any idea with the levels i have show of how long it could take to chelate, or before signs of improvement ? I would say also that most of my symptons lie within the gut, yeast, poor very little digestion, leaky gut, ect but also depression.

I don't know the details of arsenic accumulation in the brain and it's transport in and out, but whatever it does up there, ALA will be the one to take it out. > If you want to report on symptoms or what your present exposure is, then I'd be interested in know.

Where has the arsenic come from, or could that have come from the Amalgams also? Arsenic does not come from the amalgams, but when you are mercury poiosned, you do have a tendency to accumulate other metals, arsenic being one. Still, there would have to be a source. I don't know what that would be. I really suggest you read pp240-1 of HTI, since there is some good info there. >Do you have any idea with the levels i have show of how long it could take to chelate, or before signs of improvement ? >I would say also that most of my symptons lie within the gut, yeast, poor very little digestion, leaky gut, ect but also depression. Ok, depression is a psychiatric symptom, which means you may be on the longer end of things. On the other hand, I was able to clear up depression by clearing up my sulfur status. When I discovered I was " high sulfur " and went on a sulfur restricted diet, my symptoms drastically improved. On the other hand, those who are low sulfur commonly find that suflur foods or even supplementation with NAC can help. Search onibasu.com for " sulfur exclusion diet " When I say on the longer end of things, it could be 3 years - but, you are not nearly as ill as I was and, particularly depending on your sulfur status, you may be able to tolerate higher levels of chelator than I have been able to (people with high sulfur can only tolerate low levels of ALA). So, it may be shorter, particularly if you find other means of eliminating your depression. Oh, and PS. There is some stuff in Andy's AI on gut symptoms and what you can do about it. You might want to poke around there. >Ste H Good luck - Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what measurements was/are you able to handle as i can handle 12.5mg at the minute with no problem, and mite try 25mg on the weekend. And when you say 3 years, does like mean no alcohol, and still sticking to sulphur/candida diet or is it likely after 1 or 2 years i can have a few drinks (not go over the top ofc and can eat a few more things) but then the remaining year i still need to chelate.

Sorry, " Hair Test Interpretation " , Andy's second book. >Also what measurements was/are you able to handle as i can handle 12.5mg at the minute with no problem, and mite try 25mg on the weekend. I have been using 25mg for the whole 3 years. Even going to 30mg is hard for me. I did try 50mg _once_, and that was just way over my head. Kind of scared me, actually. Did you try it? What happened? >And when you say 3 years, does like mean no alcohol, and still >sticking >to sulphur/candida diet or is it likely after 1 or 2 years i can have >a few >drinks (not go over the top ofc and can eat a few more things) but >then >the remaining year i still need to chelate. The worst of it is that I can't have the occasional beer! I hate it! Ya. I can consume a little bit of dairy now. Things like broccoli or cabbage are basically ok, as long as I keep the level pretty low. That basically means that when I'm cooking at home (which is most of the time), I stay away from the foods that are bad for me, but when I go out I'll have a little bit. I'll then just keep it in mind, in case someone asks me out to dinner in less than maybe a week. And ... ya, while you're chelating, you should leave off the alcohol. You need that liver for other things! >Thanks Alot >Ste H Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
