Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Thanks for the response Dave. I am hoping and praying my weakening leg muscles are a result of 3 month dump. Have you ever heard of it happening? I walk a regular circuit, but two days ago my legs gave out and I had to sit down twice. My initial mercury symptoms, mental anxiety, forgetfullness have waned. In addition to my amalgam mercury, I had two " Twinrix " brand Hep. A & B vaccines in Jan. and March of '07, then a " fluzone " brand flu shot on 12/28/07. I got very physically/mentally sick immediately following the flu shot and left work in January and haven't been back. As I said, I hope I am getting a three month dump, (last amalgam removed March 4, 2008. There was also a prior post that said that vaccine mercury goes into the brain, then gradually changes into the dangerous form over time, presumably making symptoms progressively worse. I can only pray and hope that this is what is happening, or my weakening leg muscles have some other medical cause like MS. I of course will deal with it as best I can, but ALS would be tough news to take. Even if I got the worst news, I guess I would keep chelating ala only, what could it hurt? norske Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Because of the weak leg muscles, and possibility of ALS, it would be wise to be _very careful_ with chelation and to be sure to absolutely minimize any redistribution. If you have been chelating with 25 mg DMSA and there are no side effects, then I would assume that dose of DMSA is ok to continue with. I think the dose of ALA you are thinking of adding is too much for now. I would either continue with several more rounds of DMSA to see how it goes or if adding ALA I would add it at about 5 or 6 mg doses. Be sure to stop the ALA and continue with DMSA for the last couple of doses of the round. Close attention to diet and supplements will help a lot. The standard blood tests used are not useful for picking up on the type of adrenal and thyroid problems that poisoned people usually have. You could try saliva tests for cortisol (see the lab work link in the links section), and blood tests for free T3 and free T4 (should be in the top 1/4 or so of the normal range). Look around for lists of symptoms for hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency and match your symptoms. > > Thanks for the response Dave. > > I am hoping and praying my weakening leg muscles are a result of 3 > month dump.

ALS could well be mercury (though I also hope you don't get that diagnosis). Don't raise that dose too quick. It could hit you after a few rounds. Stay at the same dose for a couple 3-5 rounds and see what happens. Dave. ----------- Posted by: " norske_man " norske_man@... norske_man Fri Jun 6, 2008 11:49 am (PDT) Is it wise to continue chelation if you receive a diagnosis of ALS? I haven't but I have weakening muscles and have an appointment with an ALS Specialist. My hair test did not meet counting rules but recently removed an amalgam from my tooth root (three months ago all mercury out) and had three vaccines. I have had the mental symptoms of mercury, but no longer. Now just weakening muscles. I did see in AI that magnesium deficiency could result from thyroid/adrenal problem and cortisol is needed. I have no idea how to get that. When I last checked thyroid./adrenal checked ok. Last week I did a round of 25 mg dmsa with no symptoms. Today intend to start a new round 25 mg dmsa/25 mg ala. I would really like some opinions on whether to continue if (I pray that I don't) get an ASL diagnosis. Thanks, norske Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
