Q: Mercury detoxing methods

[Guest guest]

Hi group-

I have another question (I seem to be chock full of them these days!)

I have a 34 year old patient with Crohn's, Asperger's( Autism spectrum

disorder), and dysmenorrhea (severe). She recently did a urine toxic

metals and essential elements test after a DPMS challenge and was

found to have elevated mercury, copper, and molybdenum, and low

calcium and magnesium. She also had a urine organic acids test done

in the spring. Through my own research, I have learned that several

of the parameters in the test are associated with elevated mercury,

and most of those parameters were high for her. She is very concerned

about the mercury (the impetus for the test in the first place) and

it's implications in autism.

We've been doing drainage since March along with the BTGs and she has

been showing improvements slowly. I have felt like there's another

piece to her picture that hasn't been addressed or is acting as an

obstacle, and I'm wondering if it is the mercury. So on our way to

figuring out why she's holding onto the mercury, we need to eliminate

what she has and see what changes occur.

My question is about the pros and cons of using DPMS versus the

homeopathic mercury to detox the mercury, especially in someone who

tends to hold on to heavy metals. I have concerns about the DMPS:

- she's already got mineral imbalances and I don't want her depleted

even further

-she has a history of having bad or strange reactions to medications,

IVs, etc. or having all the side effects

-because she knows she has this history, she would have to rearrange

her life around having the DMPS so that if she felt badly afterward,

she wouldn't have class or other comittments. This is going to cause

more stress for her, which I want to avoid since she tends to be very

sensitive, anxious, and easily stressed.

I also realize that I haven't used DMPS with any patients, so there

may be pros I'm not aware of or have misconceptions about the

treatment. Personally, I want to go slowly using the homeopathic

method with Cilantrogen, phytogreens, vitamin C and castor oil packs.

But having never used this treatment with patients either, I may have

misconceptions that need correcting. My patient is concerned that the

homeopathic method won't be as effective as the DMPS. So I would LOVE

additional information/ clinical experience/opinions on the subject.

Thank you!

Hi ,

I don't use DMPS in my clinic so I can't really speak to that. My preference is

to go with the homeopathy because I believe it is more body friendly, helping

the body to balance itself, not trying to do the work for the body. If your

patient is having a hard time clearing the mercury than I believe that is all

the more reason to go slow, her terrain is probably tuberculinic or sycotic and

she is having a hard time eliminating. Trying to force the elimination will

probably only cause problems and increase symptoms. Its okay if the elimination

of the mercury is slow as long as it is going in the right direction. The body

should dictate the rate, as it can with homeopathy, it is much less able with

something like DMPS.

Hi :

I have had several patients who came to our clinic after doing chelation and

had damaged kidney function from it. While I did not pre and post test,

their symptoms went away (chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia) went away after

doing a few months of drainage and the patient remarked that this was a much

better way to take care of her problems. Judy Fulop, ND

Hello and I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply and maybe you have resolved this issue but maybe my input will help. I've been chelating orally with patients for many years and after much research and consultation have decided not to use DMPS as a chelator but instead use DMSA (Captomer) instead. I also use Celantro and other homeopathics and will alternate as the person's body dictates. I always use Captomer for urinary challenge. I was advised years ago that DMPS is very hard on the system and so don't use it. I find that if you support the body well with minerals and other relevant nutrients like chlorophyl, glutithione, calcium de-glucorate, etc and use drainage appropriately during the process the patient will be fine.
