Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi - The HC taper was something prescribed by . I imagine the schedule is tailored to each person, but I took 80 mg HC at 9 am each day for 1 week, 50 for the next week, and am now finishing a week of 20. I'm not sure what's next. In any case, this taper is different from the one suggested by Andy in AI. My response to the taper was not typical (lack of excess hunger, weight loss) so I can only guess that the supplements (biotin, niacinamide, PA) made the difference, especially since I've always been a person that doesn't tolerate carbs and gains weight easily. I started the biotin, niacinamide, and pantothenic acid on 's recommendation. My " diagnosis " is mercury poisoning. If you're wondering about symptoms / history - I had a mouth full of amalgam from an early age (don't remember when I got my first filling but had 14 cavities in my early teens), had several replaced with more amalgam in the late 80s after which my symptoms started. Symptoms: chronic fatigue, brain fog, frequent migraines, weight gain, exercise and heat intolerance, occasional unsteady gait, eye floaters, poor memory & concentration, insomnia, more (the usual, I guess). Currently I'm 63. After the fact I researched what the above supplements did and found (just briefly) that they support the adrenals, help with blood sugar regulation and fat burning, and a host of other beneficial metabolic things (lots of info out there if you do a Google search). I might also add that I'm on a fairly high fat and relatively low carb diet, and I believe that eliminating much of what my liver can't handle (diet low in salicylates, phenols, sulfur, amines) has helped. I remember reading in the past that if you're eating anything your body is sensitive to, it will be hard to lose weight. After educating myself a bit on the liver phase 1 and 2 detox pathways, this whole thing makes a lot more sense to me. Food is now rarely a struggle, and I actually enjoy what I'm eating. An added bonus is that my digestion is working much better. I hope this answers your questions. One last note: I'm not yet chelating. Soon I will get the last of the amalgam cleaned up, and then I'll start with DMPS. Best, Dana _____ From: frequent-dose-chelation [mailto:frequent-dose-chelation ] On Behalf Of Lou Dana, can I ask what the rationale was for taking those 3 vitamins in those amounts? What was your diagnosis? Also, how long were you on HC before tapering off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Dana, I see. I thought you'd been on HC long-term and had discontinued it with a taper. Clear on that now. Thanks for the info in your post, it sounds like things are really working out for you. I expect chelation will be the icing on the cake. Cheers, .
