Re: mercury poisoning vs. allergy

[Guest guest]

HI ,

Mercury allergy is also a possibility and could be a

problem for some people even with a relatively low

body burden of mercury - see www.melisa.org. Fatigue

and brain fog are definitely associated with allergy.

It's normal for DMSA to make things worse in the short

term and better with time. If you still have

amalgams, DMSA rounds will make you sicker and sicker

until you stop or have your amalgams safely removed.

Some people are good excretors and can have amalgams

and not be affected or accumulate body burden. Others

can have problems with small numbers of amalgams

because of poor excretion. There is no way to be sure

what you body burden of mercuty is. If you are

allergic small amounts could be a problem.

Good luck,

Dave
