Re: Re: amalgams/chelation

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam,

I have tried, and am currently on several natural type adrenal support

supplements, including an adrenal glandular (for several years), and more

recently trials with Seriphos, licorice root extract, and several others. I

have not tried hydrocortisone, although my mother has offered to send me

some of her prednisone for a trial to see if there is any boost or

discernable difference in my situation. I may take her up on her offer if I

don't get any relief soon.

I have been diagnosed hypothyroid since '98, and have been on meds since -

currently, 1 grain Bio-Throid (like Armour) twice/day, and 5 mcg Cytomel

with my morning thyroid meds. Mt latest thyroid tests show T3 in mid-range,

and T4 low normal (a result of T3 supplementation my doc says, but it has

never been high). My TSH is WNL also.

Thanks for asking. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Don,

I have not had an ASI. Do I need a prescription for one? I hear it mentioned

alot, but don't remember which lab.

Yes, I do have low blood pressure - very low.

I don't want to use hydrocortisone either. I'm considering a week long trial

just to see if there are any noticeable differences, then perhaps I can get

one of my doctors to listen to me. In the meantime I am having to

self-diagnose as best I can.

Mercury is definitely a problem, and makes it difficult to tell what is

what.

local doc is talking about hydrocortisone too, depending on the results of

the ASI. However, in his book " Chronic Fatigue Unmasked 2000, " Dr.

Poesnecker warns against the use of hydrocortisone, instead recommending

ACE. He thinks it is far to strong and his arguments make sense. So, I

contacted him and will soon begin

Oh no, this is a question and answer forum that I pasted from a question and

answer forum by Andy Cutler and Amy Holmes.I was supplying information to

another member who started chelation while she still had a amalgam filling.

could not get replaced...

Have you seen a holistic dentist? Usually a mercury conscious dentist

will replace it at your request because they know the hazards of it.

Is is baby tooth?

What we did: As her baby teeth with amalgam became loose, we went to

the dentist saying it was hurting a lot and she could not chew, and it

was taking forever to come out.....so he numbed it and pulled it for us.

The adult molar with one amalgam: We went through three dentist until

we found one that would take it out. I told him she didn't like the

look of it and wanted a white filling.

I went through quite a few dentists until I found one who would do

what I wanted...and why not? I AM PAYING them...

find a dentist who will agree to replace it. Can't I go ahead and

chelate? Absolutely not. You cannot start chelation if there are any

silver amalgam fillings present. The chelator will remove mercury from

the filling and deposit it in your child's body, making him even more

toxic.
