Yes, I had a very nice period after amalgam removal and some rounds of

I think I should count on the downregulated side: I have no chemical

sensitivities or allergies in my list of symptoms and it seems there

is no limit on the amount of vit. C I can take, for example.

I realize that I've forgotten much of this part of the book! Why do

you think it is relevant?

Same for me. I had only about two weeks after amalgam removal when I

had lots of energy, felt real good. Looking back I now realize this

was probably adrenaline and was a reaction to the exposure to mercury

vapor during removal. Maybe this latter part is not the same for you,

though.

I have wondered if people who tolerate higher doses of chelators are

the downregulated people. I do not know if this makes any sense and I

would *not* want to suggest that someone who believes they are

downregulated should try higher doses of chelators on that basis. I

think it makes sense to start low and increase based only on the

results of at least several rounds at a given dose.

However, I'm looking for an explanation for your experience, that you

seem to tolerate higher doses. Your hair test looked very toxic and

you had a history of lots of mercury exposure. It seems surprising

that you are handling the high doses without problems.

Andy says downregulated people can take supplements in large

quantities. Does this apply to chelators? Well it doesn't really

seem sensible, does it. But I wonder about it...and that's why I asked.
