Re: little depressed after starting chelation (Nanci)

[Guest guest]

Hi Nanci,

Thanks for your helpful reply.

I actually feel considerably better today, almost back to normal.

The last two days when I got depressed, it was unexpected, so I got

scared.

But I do think being on round had something to do with it. It seems

whenever I'm on round, I feel a little differently... more lethargy,

more need to take naps, and now, perhaps some mood issues will crop

up. I've only just started chelating about two weeks ago, so am

just " feeling my way around " right now.

I know there will be up's and down's in the long road that is

chelation, but that's ok if you know what to expect, and know there's

light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm on some pretty good supplements now for mood/brain health, and

will continue on them, and look into some more things as well (eg.

phosphatydylserine? L-carnitine?, etc)

BTW, if anyone has any ideas as to how chelation can cause

depression, pls let me know. I know chelation recirculates metals in

the body, but if DMPS doesn't allow them through the BBB, how does

one get depressed? (or CAN they get through the BBB?) I guess

there's some other means, but am curious to know how.

Cortisol levels can be a very big factor in depression. If the adrenals are

suppressed, you

can get really depressed. Horribly depressed. Getting on HC took care of that

divinely for

me. In " the depression post, " Andy does mention this.
