Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Dudley, I am new to Cutler's protocol and have not started chelation yet. The symptoms you describe as " unreality " sound very familiar. I am dealing with similar metal toxicities -- Antimony, Arsenic, Lead #196. Although all metals individually cause these brain/ mental symptoms, I think the combinations of these multiply the effects. I started using the supplements Andy recommends about a month ago and found a lot of improvement. Still very sick, of course. I plan to start chelation in two weeks after all amalgams are out. Hang in there, the supplements should help support your system, adrenals, thyroid, etc. Jon lower abdomen pains feelings of unreality/ confused please help I have slowly been trying to build up my basic supps,and had started using ,vit c,vit e,b50's,mag citrate,milk thistle,zinc, and flax oil.Though i had been taking 3g of vitc and some grapefruit seed extract for candida for about 5 months before this. before i started these i was getting some dull aches in the lower abdomen area about 1 month after starting on the 3g vit c and GSE but they seemed to get worse as itook the recommended supps. I have stopped them now for 5 days and the pain has gone to a certain extent but still can come on at any time and go just as quickly,which was also what was happening before i took the supps,it just seemed to get a bit worse after i started taking them,but it could just be a coincidence. I cant start chelating yet as am still waiting to have a front bridge off even though everyone says its highly unlikely to have amalgam under it. But i cant take any chances. Has anyone had these dull aches and sometimes pricking pains in the upper abdomen. I need to start taking the supps again as i believe i can't start chelating without taking the supps,is that right? Also i have this awful feeling of unreality all the time it makes me feel as though i am not really here,along with slightly dizzy head. i have quite a few more symptons beside's that but the unreality is really so hard to cope with i can hardly stand it i've had this feeling for about 1 year now,and cannot work as my arms and legs are so weak. i can't see anything in AI that mentions these unreality feelings, but have spoke to a few people who have had the same symptoms. is there anyone on the list thats had the same symptoms? and has got better. I could really do with some reasurance from someone that has got rid of these feelings. I have also had feelings of impending doom and am finding all the things to do with chelation as very difficult to cope with. my life seems like a really bad dream at the moment and am only getting by from hour to hour at the moment. if anyone can give me any help and support it will be so much appreciated. thanks Dudley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSE is not on the required supplements list. It is not even one of the first supplements that Andy would recommend for yeast problems. It is a broad spectrum anti microbial, so will be killing beneficial organisms. but > they seemed to get worse as itook the recommended supps. > I have stopped them now for 5 days and the pain has gone to a certain > extent but still can come on at any time and go just as quickly,which > was also what was happening before i took the supps,it just seemed to > get a bit worse after i started taking them,but it could just be a > coincidence. > I cant start chelating yet as am still waiting to have a front bridge > off even though everyone says its highly unlikely to have amalgam under > it.

My suggestion would be to narrow down what supplements are contributing by stopping the supplements, cutting out the GSE and gradually adding only the essential supplements one at a time starting at low doses and building up gradually . > I need to start taking the supps again as i believe i can't start > chelating without taking the supps,is that right? It is best to start on the basic supplements before chelation. The list of basic supplements isn't very long, and doesn't include GSE. Because you can't start chelating right away anyway, you have time to stop supplements and then gradually add one at a time working up slowly to doses that you can tolerate. > Also i have this awful feeling of unreality all the time it makes me > feel as though i am not really here,along with slightly dizzy head. > i have quite a few more symptons beside's that but the unreality is > really so hard to cope with i can hardly stand it i've had this feeling > for about 1 year now,and cannot work as my arms and legs are so weak. > i can't see anything in AI that mentions these unreality feelings, but > have spoke to a few people who have had the same symptoms. > is there anyone on the list thats had the same symptoms? I wonder if what you are calling unreality is what Andy calls brain fog. Brain fog is quite common for many of us. If you can find Alka Seltzer gold where you live try some and see if it temporarily helps with the brain fog. If you don't have it, ask your pharmacist for a similar product. I would say that I had brain fog, and feeling unreal at times. I was able to control these to some extent with diet, supplementation, and medications. It was a long slow process for me to determine what was best for my diet, gradually add supplements, and then add medications as well. The process was simplified for me because my doctor consulted with Andy, and Andy listed and priorized the supplements and medications that I should try. I wouldn't have been able to do it for myself because of the brain fog. Perhaps your doctor would be willing to consult with Andy. J and has got > better.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 THe feeling of unreality came to me from certain viruses that my body was just not able to deal with.It certainly is difficult to feel that way. CHelation and nutritional supports can help alot.. I also found solace and strength through destressing through mind -body techniques, and emotional therapies. I beleive it happens because we are dealing low grade buggies and viruses that for most people with good immune systems , and good working organs they would be able to fight off. I find with more and more chelation and the right supports this is improving A good way to explain the feeling is that I feel I am fighting something but it never really shows its face. SO I feel out of sorts , not to the point of totally having to be bedridden , but to the point of wishing I could stay in bed. .. SO in medical terms say the virus epstein barr which I was told most people do carry , remains in our systems but does not get out of control,. BUt with the likes of us the virus does flare up , but in a low grade level so it never becomes acute, and reamins a chronic condition.\\It can go on for a life time , I was ill with these things for 30 years.. it never killed me , and so it felt like I was out of sorts as I started to doubt myself. I think that this is what it is like for the autistic child. They have not known anything else as they came down with these things at the time when they had not experienced hardly any and definitely now enough of a sense of what it is to feel and be able to act normal. And so they cannot fake feeling well. I felt for pretty well all of the past 30 years I looked normal to everyone, and I could pretty well fake looking normal. I did not let my head bob in public which felt like close to being parkinsons, I continued to sign my signature even though it was very hard due to poor hand coordination, I carried on with addition and subtraction the slow way , by doing it on my fingers, and using the calculator{ those skills came totaly back after three months after removal of my fillings} , I did use a cane for awhile but seemed not to get much sympathy..HUMMFF--lol... and I continued to eat because I wanted to live. I could fake it and carry on though I felt unreal. The autistic child resorts to spinning and hand shaking, etc in order to just keep on doing something.. Have you ever tried not doing anything??.. That is why meditation actually in the end takes effort..LOL.. We are programed in our genes to keep active and to do.. I beleive these viruses ,bacteria that are latent in our systems get out of balance and then cause problems. I have had several viruses from vaccines etc that I know of and others I probably do not know of.. One was the simian virus from the polio vaccine.. it really made me feel unreal. I felt out of balance , my neck felt twisted and it was quite an unreal feeling.-- like my body did not feel to be where I ordinarily knew it to be... ANother for example I have had an infection in my salivary glands for maybe 20 years .. It does not abscess , it just stays low grade adn drives me batty..LOL..The one on my left cheeck went away after a few freqent dose chelation and so another time later I hope the other too is able to be conquered through more removal of metals.. And the polio virus also was affecting me. Even though I never showed outward signs of polio , there is a theory that some babies exposed to polio would get a very very low grade fever with the polio virus and never show signs of it . This one book I read said that the babies might only have a day of fever and then be perfectly fine. .it later shows up just like say shingles from exposure to chicken pox , to affect adults. It showed up on me with aching legs and I was able to get over it with hoemopathic polio . I beleive in chelating and that this will boost our immune systems so that we can eventually fight all of these things off and we no longer need to feel at a loss as to what we are fighting. nanci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hardly stand it much longer. I have just seen a Dr who also does chinese medicine and he has suggested using some herbs to detox the liver as he said that the liver needs to be functioning correctly in order for it to be able to cope with the supplements i am taking, and this could be causing the pains in my stomach. I dont know if i've gone off topic there, but it was also said that if the liver has got lots of toxins in, this could cause you to feel that things were unreal. The only thing is i would be reluctant to take herbs along with the protocol in case there was something in them that moved mercury around. if anyone has any thoughts on this i would like to hear them. I am not chelating yet as i am still waiting for some more dental work but am desperate to get started. dudley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in reply to an earlier suggestion re alka seltzer gold for unreality feelings it doesn't seem possible to get it in England Dudley ====== Kai : Dudley your pre- and pro-biotics seem fine. Regarding the Alka Seltzer Gold, we also cannot get it here in South Africa. However we make our own and here is the recipe for you. (We call it Brain Fog Muti :-)) 3/4 tsp of Anhydrous Citric Acid mixed with, 3/4 tsp of Sodium Bicarbonate (BP grade) with, 1/4 tsp of Potassium Bicarbonate (BP grade). Add 1/2 cup of water, wait for the excessive bubbling to pass (e.g. 15 seconds) and drink. It really helps for my brain fog and sometimes I take up to 4 times a day when my brain fog gets really bad. More than that is not recommended though. You can get your pharmacist to mix it for you. Just make sure they use " Anhydrous Citric Acid " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
