Re: How and Why Chelation causes Andrenal Stress ?

[Guest guest]

No one knows?

The process of chelation, which is moving the metals out of your body, is

stressful to the body, hence stressful to the adrenals. That is why we suggest

using low dosages following Andy's protocol, and supporting the body with lots

of supplements during this process, because there is alot of healing and repair

that needs to be done, once the metals are removed. So I believe that chelation

is stress, and your adrenals have to deal with all forms of stress in the body.

I'm not sure if that's the kind of answer you were looking for, but I am rather

busy right now, so should probably think about this some more. You may find

something about this by searching archives for posts by Andy. Also, is

gone right now, but she may be able to explain it better than me.---------Jackie

I don't know, but here's a guess just for the sake of discussion.

Maybe in a strict technical sense, it's not precisely the case that

chelation " causes adrenal stress " . Maybe it's more like this: if you

accept the premise that one of the effects that mercury toxicity can

cause is secondary adrenal hypofunction (or even primary adrenal

hypofunction?), and if you accept the premise that chelation can

temporarily mobilize mercury that has been " stored away " (effectively

leading to an increased exposure to some tissues of the body), then I

think it would make sense that chelation could lead to an exacerbation

of many symptoms, including symptoms of hypoadrenalism.

So, in any case, the subjective experience would be that chelation

" causes adrenal stress " since additional adrenal support is required

to relieve symptoms. That's been my subjective experience, anyway.

To me it seemed that the adrenals were one of the organs that are

affected the most from chelation and i was wondering, why? Why is it so

stressful to the adrenals and not so much to other organs?

The adrenals respond to stress. Everything from immune assault to

tissue damage to emotional stress to the routine regulation of blood

sugar and electrolytes adds to the workload of the adrenals.

Our mercury symptoms involve many of these problems and thus cause

more adrenal stress than a normal healthy person would experience. As

we chelate, we get added stress as these symptoms are stirred up and

still more as the metals are pulled out and tissues must heal.

---Good explanation . What do you think the chances of

healing the adrenals through chelation are? It just feels sort of like

a catch 22.

I think the theory is you support them (adrenals) as best as possible

through chelation and they recover and get stronger as we detox mercury

At least i know thyroids seemed to do this (again with the right

support though)

I have read though that it depends how bad off you are ..ie sometimes

you may require permanent support
