Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Good luck ! That is so nice that your family is helping you out with this! I hope it continues to go well. So just for clarification, you are doing an ALA only round? No DMPS? How are you feeling on round? Any different than on DMPS only? I also need to try an ALA only round, but once again, family matters are distracting me, so not sure when that will happen. So just to let everyone know, I may not be on much, and sorry if I missed any messages for me. And , all the best to you, and thank you, thank you, thank you, for all that you do for these groups! You are truly a god-send, and I don't know where I'd be without you Jackie In frequent-dose-chelation wrote: So far I have mostly chelated with DMPS because I have a huge problem with remembering things in the daytime, and it was impossible to wake at night and be alert enough to take pills. I chelated for almost 2 years, and during that time the DMPS definitely reduced body burden because my hair test normalized, and I have been able to tolerate increased doses of chelators. I am much more severely poisoned than most, and the mercury must be in critical locations because I have almost no normal adrenal function left. I am only able to function because of hormone replacement. My major exposures to mercury were huge, and mostly 30 years or so ago. I also had some serious set backs (during the last 3 years) that I think were more related to my poor adrenals than to chelation - heat stroke, an infection, a colon problem, and pain (not sure what is causing this pain). The pain is interfering with my ability to walk, and that is driving me on because I cannot afford to lose any more mobility. I think that the only possible way that I will beat the pain that I am in is with ALA chelation. I have finally started ALA. (I had tried ALA for a few rounds at various times in the past, with much difficulty). I am using a dose of 12.5 mg, every 3 h, and I made it through the past 2 nights!! It was a family effort - everyone helped out to wake me at various times. The 3-4 AM dose was the most difficult - it took 3 alarm clocks plus my son to pull it off. I learned that I need to sit up and drink a full glass of water or else I will get some burning. Now that I have started I want to keep going and chelate with ALA as much as possible. It is like looking at a mountain that I have to climb, and looking back at some hills that I already made it through. It is so much more fun to scale mountains with the support of others, and I am so thankful for everyone who has helped me along the way.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 GO !! Thank you for all your help over the years, especially when I know there were many times you didn't feel well. Wish me luck?

So glad to hear you have alot of support around you - makes everything so much easier. If it gets too much, drop down to 6 mgs. I still can't do more than that myself.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 , I simply say " ditto what Jackie said! " I love that your son was able to help you too, because I don't know if I'd be able to get that, especially since everyone sleeps upstairs and I'm downstairs. Of course---I'm still not chelating, having only JUST finally made a decision on which brands, etc. of ACE and progesterone cream to buy! I know I'll need several clocks too! lol GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!! :Donna ______________________________________________ Good luck ! That is so nice that your family is helping you out with this!
