I will also email Andy to see if anyone does exist around here. I totally agree with your statement about doctors not being of much use for mercury detox or diagnosis. I have been on HRT (bio-identical) for a few months now and last Friday had more tests done. I will know the results Monday. I believe it is mercury that caused so many female problems with me. I eventually had to have a total hysterectomy at age 30. I will get Andy's other book this weekend. Until yesterday I didn't realize he had 2. Thank you so much for the information.

It seems as soon as you introduced sulphur products (cilantro, garlic, NAC,etc?) to your detox, you were feeling bad. Why don't you do a sulphur exclusion diet while you are finding a new docotor. Then you'll know if that is the cause of how you are feeling now. Kai I > have printed a lot of the information on this site and from Andy's book to > take with me.

Keep reading and keep asking questions. *****For years now in the back of my mind I knew mercury was an issue in my life but it has taken until now for me to honor it. I guess mentally I wasn't ready. it was my husband that got Andy's book because he felt mercury could be a big issue for me. I've done alot of reading and quite frankly it scares the bageebees out of me when I look back at my history with it and can connect all my major illnesses, including a complete break down to times of dental work. Joining this board was a huge step for me. I've been on an alone journey for some time now. > > > > > The good news! All amalgams and root canals are removed. > ===== Congratulations. Have you done a Hairtest for us to look at ? > ***** A hair test was done about 4-5 years ago. Showed nothing significant. Neither did the challenge test some months later. Which was done with my amalgams in. I ?'ed the doc about the safety of doing that. Tell you the truth I was so sick I don't really know if it made me worse. There is a health food store that i shop at and they offer the hairtest all the time. Do you think it would be a good idea to do one again? =======Sorry to hear that.

Literally I do. I love the stuff. Well, I do but maybe my body doesn't. Agree and went on sulphur free diet for 4 days. Skin rash was a lot better off of it. Used baking soda baths and benedryl. Introduced some sulphur foods yesterday. Only complaint is digestion. I don't think I am breaking down proteins. Plan to read up on that today. I also had some cranial and lymph work done yesterday. That helped a lot with the brain problems. Upper body lymph is my most troubling area. Especially my left arm. I get a lot of swelling there. Recall it was always my left arm that I had injections in. Refused to allow them to use my rear or right arm. Right handed here. Funny thing is that with muscle testing mercury never comes up there as a blockage.

Do you think it would be a good idea to do one again? Kai:======I would definitely do one if I was you. It will make you much wiser as to what is going on There are two ways to order a Hair Elements test: (1) Your doctor can order this test directly from DDI Labs in the USA. (2) You can order this test yourself without a doctor's referral through DirectLabs (also in the USA). E-mail Leigh Wilkerson for more information and to request a test kit that will be posted to you. DirectLabs will then obtain the DDI test result and e-mail it to you. > ******* I crave cilantro all the time. Literally I do. I love the stuff. Kai:====Me too ! Now I avoid it all together. My body felt so good after having it, and a day or three later I would feel terrible. And so it went on for a long time without me making that connection. I learnt from this group what damage it does to mercury poisoned people, then I cut it out.Now I'm almost afraid of it for what it does to me Well, I do but maybe my body doesn't. Agree and went on sulphur free diet for 4 days. Kai ======Four days may be too short a period for you to make a call. A week to 14 days always give you a clearer picture. Do yourself a favour and do it a little longer. I also had some cranial and lymph work done yesterday. That helped a lot with > the brain problems. Upper body lymph is my most troubling area. Especially > my left arm. I > get a lot of swelling there. Kai:===== I also do cranial and lymph work and find it benefitial and essential. If your left arm is swollen, is there perhaps swelling on the left in your neck or under your chin on the left? Are you sure all your metals are out, rootcanals? , Cavitations done? >> Claire ------------------------------------ >> > >> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back now, I don't recall any changes good or bad. But realize now could be different. > > Kai ======Four days may be too short a period for you to make a call. > A week to 14 days always give you a clearer picture. > Do yourself a favour and do it a little longer. > Claire....I was getting to weak from lack of protein consumption and had to get some in me. I had a buffalo patty with almond cheese and avocado for lunch. Took my HCL and am having no problems. But I can had the same thing for dinner last night and got a lot of acid reflux even using the HCL. Going to do protein for lunch but not for dinner anymore. Never have a problem with breakfast and use no HLC then. > I also had some cranial and lymph work done yesterday. That helped a lot > with > > the brain problems.

Claire...I don't see or feel any swelling in those areas but I don't have the trained eye my therapist does. > Are you sure all your metals are out, rootcanals? , Cavitations done? Claire....Metals out, root canals out and lost a tremendous amount of bone to cavitations. But wait....a different dentist did the bridge on my lower left. He was a biological dentist and, sorry I forget what the test was called, but it's the one to check for compatibilties to substances used. I do recall that when that quad (llower left) was done the dentist was pretty upset that so much amalgam was in bedded in my gums. He had to dig a lot to get it out and then use a laser to heal me. I think it would be a good idea to make an appt with my dentist (different one finished the work as I moved 1/2 way across the US) to discuss this issue. I wonder if nickel could be in play. The dentist will have my records and maybe there will be some info them. He's really a cool guy. He has literature all over his office on the damaging effects of amalgams. I know when this symptom began. But there was soooo much going on for me at the time and I cannot honestly say if it is connected to the last ever amalgam filling I had a few months before it arrived. But I was also on high doses of amoxicillian for lyme at the time. I can get 2 other symptoms with my left arm swelling. I get rashes on my temples and I get this feeling of severe de-hydration. It's more of a feeling than being able to look at my skin and see it. I test the skin between my index and thumb and always get a good return. I use no lotions but on occasion use almond or lavender oil. I gave up sodas 17 years ago and always drink purified water. Usually 80-90 OZ spread thru out the day. I just read not to drink 30 minutes before or after eating and no more than 4 oz during so that you don't break down the natural enzymes in food. Wish I had known that 17 years ago. I noticed that I got this de-hydrated feeling after dinner last night and again today after lunch. Protein? I won't use HCL for a couple of days and see what happens. I have been on it for about 4 weeks. This whole thing is a guessing and charting game to try and figure out what is doing what, what I am reacting to and so on. I use to think it was caused by EMF's. I am susceptible to them along with chemicals. But only when I am where I am right now. No other time. I have a special watch I wear to help me with the EMF's. This makes it easier for me to use my computer without getting sick. I am thankful to you for all your suggestions and comments. Your are so kind to take the time. > > >> Claire > ------------------------------------ > >> > > >> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
