Re: Worse not better

[Guest guest]

,

I'm curious as to what size doses you are taking. If

this was me and I could reduce my doses I would. I am

18 months post-removal, and I have only done 14

rounds. For a long time I was taking 6mg DMSA. I

still haven't added ALA and I don't plan to until I

can take 25mg DMSA with no minimal effects. By using

very low doses and taking long periods off I have

avoided most side effects and have steadily improved.

I have had lots of trouble with allergic reactions but

have gotten it them under control by avoiding foods,

taking anti-histamines, limiting chelation, and

sweating. My impression is that allergies are

cumulative - the more active allergy you have the more

new allergies will emerge. Chelation is definitely a

stress and if I think it is making my allergies worse

I take a break. I tried lots of different diets but

it was only after I took the 125 food IgG test and

eliminated most of those foods that I saw dramatic

improvement. At one point I had itchiness and

flushing like you describe and it got so bad that I

would have dangerous allergic attacks (anaphylaxis).

This forced me to get all this under control or else I

wouldn't have been able to chelate. The

over-the-counter antihistamine Zyrtec is extremely

effective in controlling many of these allergic

reactions, and I take that every day to keep this

stuff under control.

Sounds to me like you need to get these allergies

under control. There is a certain amount of chelation

that makes you sicker that can be tolerated, but

obviously if it keeps getting worse and worse that

could be a problem.

Good luck,

Dave

Yer mate i do indeed need to get these under control, i well deffo

look at anti-histamines, thanks for the reply! although when i get

these reactions from the foods im eating its usually followed by

constipation..sigh so that would probably still happen.
