Re: Re: Still toxic? Yet chelation proves fruitless.

Hi Adam,

I would be interested to know if you have looked into any of the following:

First, I have heard from a lot of people who have had 128 food IgG tests that

have shown allergic sensitivity to particular foods. In my case my reaction to

these foods was identical to my reaction to chelation or other metals exposure.

The food allergies compromise your gut, so even if you had chelated everything,

they could still keep going until you stopped these foods long enough for your

gut to heal. I was also on lots of diets that I thought were helping (sulfur

free, salicylate free), but when I had the food tests I was allergic to much of

the stuff I had been eating. I improved dramatically once I cut these foods

out.

Second, if I were you I would think about a Melisa test (www.melisa.org) to see

if you are have allergic reactions to mercury OR and other metals. If you look

at their research you will see that there are quite a few metals that cause

people problems, including nickel and cadmium. If you aren't allergic to

anything then you can rule out metals allergy.

Finally, I think it makes sense to get a urine test and see what you are

excreting. If you are taking these huge doses and not excreting, then it

doesn't make sense to continue. If you have blood tests for metals at the same

time that could tell you if you are apparently metals free or just not

excreting.

Good luck,

Dave

Hi,

After reading your other posts I would have to concur with Kai and

that you are most likely dealing with adrenal problems (and possible thyroid

or other hormones).

Dental surgery and viruses have the potential to crash your adrenals.

If you do not get proper adrenal support virtually nothing works.

I used have the same belief system as you about not wanting to take

medications, I am very, VERY glad that I updated it, because that is what

was crucial to my recovery.

Perhaps you could consider updating your belief system to include adrenal

support.

When you get on proper adrenal support - usually ACE and HC, it is the most

dramatic feeling to see so many symptoms resolve that you through were metal

related.

I would suggest you get a cortisol saliva test.

Start tracking your temperatures to check for thyroid and adrenal problems.

And after you have taken your cortisol test start on some ACE no matter what

the results say and check your response. That and fish oils.

I'm afraid that if you don't take appropriate care of your adrenals you may

never improve.

Leaving them in this state because you are afraid of taking something that

you might become dependent on, is causing further stress them and burning

them even more, making the chance of full recovery even less.
