Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 > Andy Cutler's protocol uses ALA with the DMSA or DMPS. Has anyone in this > group used either protocol with success? , After all the detox I've done, I was a little bummed after testing high in mercury recently. My ozone dentist/naturopath said it's actually a good sign, that the mercury is moving and not embedded. So my doc has me on a protocol that sounds similar to Cutler's... 4 caps/day of DMSA (according to weight) with 600 mg ALA, 3 gr Vitamin C, and 1-3mg of melatonin. Two weeks on, two weeks off for three months, at which time I'll test again. I'll update then. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have had my 13 mercury-toxic, fillings removed. I did not get them removed correctly, and I felt much worse afterwards. But, then again, I started taking buffered Vitamin C, and it really took that bad feeling away quickly. I also was on a slew of supplements then and now, which allow me to live as normals. I do not regret it, and would do it again. I was drowning in mercury with all those fillings out-gassing. Anyhow, I am really writing to let you know that after much research and fear of harming my children, I did not start chelating until I found modified citrus pectin. Well I did use EDTA and glutathione before, but it caused too many side effects for me. I have been taking modified citrus pectin (Pectasol) a few weeks now, and I have been noticing improvement, but note that this has to be taken for many months, just like formal chelation techniques because its a slow process. Anyhow, I totally, at this point, am recommending it. It supposedly has no side effects, being made from citrus pulp. I give it to all in my family. I have extreme difficulty eliminating toxins, so I started out with just one pill every other day. After a week, I am able to do one pill everyday. I am starting with one pill twice a day tomorrow. The very first day on it, everyone felt depressed, but it starts to subside right away. Mercury-moving is just plain difficult. We also got an increase in yeast as one gets with mercury chelation, so take a yeast inhibitor.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi Arlene. Ginger said that she had several teeth with more than one filling. I was surprised because I don't know anyone with that many fillings. I wonder if you were exposed to mercury while you worked with a dentist. I hope not. arlizotte@... wrote: Hi Just for clarification, Ginger could have 35 fillings. I was a dental assistant when I was 18, but I never forgot the letters that represent the 5 surfaces on the teeth that can have cavities. M,O,D,F,L Mesial, Distal, Occlusal, Facial and Lingual. So, you can up to five fillings on one molar. Just a fun fact for a lull in conversation! Arlene --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Arlene, It sounds like you had a good bit of mercury exposure, so its likely you have a high body burden.  Some are good mercury excreters and have less problems- genetically blood allele type 2.  Type 4s don't excrete mercury and store it.  But type 4s although they have high body burdens have hardly any in hair test. Is that what you were using to assume that you don't have much mercury?  Hair test level is not accurate for body burden. As noted before, what you look at is essential mineral distribution in the hair test.  Mercury causes cell membrane permeability changes and poor absorption of minerals and enzymatic/metabolic blockages.  This shows up in the pattern of essential mineral imbances on the hair test. See Andy Cutler's hair test protocol.
