Re: [esens] Lab testing for mercury - common cause of ES

[Guest guest]

Dear Glen,

I would be very careful with chemical chelators. I have read numerous reports

about adverse effects from things such as DMPS. See e.g. the Amalgam mail list

and www.dmpsbackfire.com

I also believe, I had side effects from natural chemical chelators.

I myself - also being a heavy metal victim - believes much more in

energymedicine - the biophysical way than the biochemical way.

Best wishes,

Nikolaj Holtermann

[esens] Lab testing for mercury - common cause of ES

Hello,

I just received results from urine testing done to determine the level of

mercury in my body. My doctor, and myself were shocked by the level of

mercury in my body. It was amazing relief for myself to see a quantitative

result, so it isn't just guess work wondering what was in my body, and

exactly what we need to do to get it out. I finally feel I have complete

answers to what has caused my ES and my hypothyroidism. They also

discovered elevated levels of lead.

We believe the major source of mercury in my case was amalgam fillings, flu

shots, and sea food.

I have been doing mercury detox for the past few months with oral DMSA, and

Natural Factors " Detoxitec " , but my doctor told me it would take forever to

get the mercury out of my body with these methods, so am starting detox with

DMPS intravenous. He figures 6 months to a year doing DMPS every 3 weeks

should clean out most of the mercury.

It took a long time to find a doctor that could do testing for mercury, so I

thought I would share the name of the lab that performed this test, in case

anyone else is interested in knowing what levels of heavy metals you may

have in your body. Every doctor I talked to told me there was no method to

measure mercury levels in body.

The company is:

Doctor's Data Inc.

3755 Illinois Avenue

St. IL

60174-2420

In my case the procedure was called a DMPS Challenge Test, done by my

doctor. My urine sample was then sent to Doctor's Data Inc. The cost was

about $300 including my doctors fees and lab tests, and extensive report.

The report included all heavy metals and essential elements (vitamin levels)

in my body.

This is also a big relief to be able to give something concrete from an MD

to my disability insurance company, since they don't accept the word of my

naturopath.

Hello,

I agree with Nikolaj that energymedicine is safer way to detox heavy metals.

I think anybody that is not in an emergency situation with high mercury

levels should have second thoughts about DMPS, or make absolutely sure your

bodies liver, kidney, and digestion is strong before proceeding.

I spent the last day doing further research into DMPS, and here are my

conclusions as it relates to my situation:

* It is a very toxic substance 3 times more toxic than DMSA, and doesn't

clean up brain of toxic metals (like DMSA does).

* If one doesn't prepare their liver, kidneys, and digestion system (with

naturopathic or nutritional cleanse first) any chemical detox can create

serious problems. The liver & kidney's can't process the heavy metals

properly so it becomes a toxic mess. Reading testimonials of 100's of

failed DMPS patients, it became obvious many did not prepare enough before

DMPS.

* One should make sure they are not allergic to *sulfpha " before doing DMPS.

Perhaps do small sample test first. This is a leading cause of problems

with DMPS.

* Use slow drip IV method, where DMPS is gradually introduced to body. Some

problems occur with the fast injection method.

A nurse at a local clinic told me she has been doing DMPS everyday for 5

years, and had only one case where they were allergic to sulpha, and when

administered had trouble breathing. They use only the slow drip IV method

at this clinic.

Given the high risk if I wasn't in an urgent situation needing to lower my

mercury levels quickly, I would not do this procedure.

I intend to proceed with 6 DMPS treatments to get my mercury lower

(suggested by doctor), then followup with sauna, energy-medicine (shiatsu,

pranic healing, reiki), and nutritional detox.

Yes, but even energy medicine can have it's problems, as I discovered

when I tried to perform Reiki on myself for 40 minutes per day. That

led to me getting terribly sick... first it was like I had the flu

with a high fever, then it turned into the symptoms of a bladder

infection. So you can do too much of *anything*, including herbs,

including chemical chelators, and including energy medicine.

But I believe DMPS is definitely just one of many possible ways

to chelate mercury, and if someone doesn't want to take the risks,

they can certainly do lots of other things instead...
