Re: Brain Mercury, questions

[Guest guest]

My experience, prior to 4 years ago , I had very bad

depression , which was corrected with 5HTP .. I would have to

stay on for many months to correct. It went away totally for

4 years. I did a short course of Frequent dose at too high

a dose for about 4 months, two years ago. I stopped due to

problems with my kidneys.

I restarted FDC last January. THe first round the

depression returned. I went back on 5HTP for a month and

continued with FDC.. I stopped the 5HTP and the depression

has stayed away but for a few hours. SO in your case it

could also be something to do with FDC.

WHen mercury is removed that part of the body the mercury is

removed from needs time and supplemental supports to heal.

Have you got anything to help with your symptoms?? If so

increase these . Hopefully this would work. If your symptoms

are too difficult I think it is wise to discontinue

chelation until you find the supports you need. Otherwise our

bodies are too compromised by the stress of it all.

----------If you are 8 months post amalgam removal, then you are probably in

the hump or stall period, which Cutler describes on page 52 of AI. This is a

normal part of mercury detox, which Cutler says you need to understand, and you

need to keep chelating through it. Many people have been through it. It is

also discussed on the onibasu/wiki.----------Jackie

Depressed,

confusion,forgetfulness,moodiness,inability to concentrate for long

and the worst symptom is a feeling of losing control that is scaring

me. I feel like I use half my energy to keep myself doing what is

proper or allwed ex dont touch my hair, keep hands calm, dont stare

etc. I am on 17 mg of ala and 12.5 of dmsa every 3 hrs for 4 days on

and 4 days off. Has anyone experience these things and feeling

better?

----------I had an increase in emotional and mental symptoms, after my

appendix rupture and lots of antibiotics (Levaquin), so not sure if its the same

thing, but it was definitely a setback and a huge flare up of mercury symptoms.

Anyway, what got me out of it was continued chelation (although DMSA only) and

working on getting my hormones balanced.----------Jackie

Should I take a break from chelation for a few weeks? decrease

dose or continue to finally feel better?

-----------It would be fine to take a break and see how you feel. Or

decreasing the dose, or even dropping ALA for a few rounds would be reasonable

options too. Others have mentioned having to lower their dose during the stall

period. Here's a post by Andy saying that a break may help, to give the body

time to heal.-------Jackie

I feel like I am not

improving and I know it can take years and I am willing , because what

else is there to do anyway that can bring healing.

-----------The above post by Cutler may be very pertinent to you. Try taking

a break, and see what happens. Your body might just need a rest.-------Jackie

Anyway thanks to anyone that answers me.

Ps I think mold make me feel worse like having mold in the head,

anyone know what I mean??

----------If you mean being exposed to mold can make your head feel bad, then

yes, I know what you mean. I am very sensitive to mold too, and I smell or

sense it way before others do. There was something moldy in my dad's garage,

and it would hit me as soon as I opened the door, and he couldn't smell it at

all. If I'm exposed too long, then it can make me feel bad in the head. Taking

Alka Seltzer Gold can help with these kinds of reactions.---------Jackie

I'm 10 months post amalgam and feel like crap also. No energy,

forgetful, grumpy, inability to concentrate. Felt great month 7 and

8, then the big crash. I only chelate about every other week and take

loads of adrenal stuff, thyroid, vitamins, supps ....

Just took a test from current doc that checks Heavy metals in Red

blood cells (only way to get presription dmps) and found the chelation

has pulled out Arsenic ( which was high). Also showed low minerals

which wasn't too low on hair test. I believe that Low minerals= poor

absorption. I'm now taking lots of digestive enzymes with all food

and vitamins to see if that helps all above symptoms.

I had a crash and discovered it was probably from the

glutathione being taken out when taking ALA.. do not know about

DMSA.. I upped my NAC to get my glut levels up and am working

extra hard on liver, gallbladder supports..I may decrease my ALA..

although I did have a remarkable healing with that dose..

it is dicey travelling this chelating. I am not working at a

regular job , but no one can tell me I am not working hard.. LOL>.
