Sharon: Yes the 5 times the mercury sounds very serious to myself and the

alterative minded neuros and doctors that treat me.Traditional neurologists

don't really care much and ignore these numbers.

And btw, my traditional neuro checking the copper level had nothing to do

with heavy metals issues but with several diseases that occur that cause

neuro problems when the body doesn't metabolize copper properly affecting

things like GI problems and others years before they start to have neuro

effects. I'm waiting to see that particular neuro again in the next month or

so after he finishes evaluating my years of records looking for something

that someone has missed or that would explain my very variant style of MS.

Wouldn't it be better to put up with side effects and get it out?

NO...I have been through 4 types of detox for mercury. Each method has sent

my health issues down so dramatically that 3 different holistic doctors who

specialize in chelation have absolutely said it was NOT in my best interest

to try and get the mercury out. I never had a filling, never was vaccinated.

Never had immunizations as a child. All of the different detox methods we

have used have seen me in various stages of unconsciousness, admitted to the

Neuro ICU. Temporarily insane yanking the IV line in my body out and

attempting to hide under the chair and similar things. In the 5 years since

we started getting these high mercury levels, despite all the attempts at

detox and including simple things like simply completely abstaining from

fish had led to mercury levels continuing to increase in my red blood cells,

hair, urine, etc. My knowledgeable doctors have explained that I have a

number of P540 defects in the way my body detoxes anything..The testing

implies that I am still getting new mercury exposure although there isn't an

explanation and so doctors will then say that it seems the mercury is

continuing to recirculate regardless of the means.

Anyway bottom line, there is a time when it is simply unsafe to " put up with

side effects " which could likely kill me and the consensus now is that I

should just eat organically and healthfully, avoid all seafood and mercury

exposure, and know that it may have taken 20 years to get the mercury

in..and it might take 5-10 years to get enough out. I've thoroughly

researched the topic of mercury obviously and especially because my numbers

were so much higher than any of the holistic docs and others that I have

seen. Many point to my childhood living next to a toxic dump (literally a

mercury mine) and that it won't come out easily at all.

Following a variety of chelation methods (zeolite, DMSA, DMSO, EDTA, and a

variety of others) have resulted in severe mental imbalance, psychotic

temporary imbalances, suicidal behavior, severe loss of function

neurologically and ICU admissions and so on..

Sharon, when you detox that much mercury too quickly, you have years of

accumulated toxins hit you all at once. Sometimes you don't recover quickly

and sometimes not at all.

Thanks this comes close to explaining my issue.I wanted to mention again

this other issue that the MS doc in Charlotte brought up having to do with

excess copper. He tested me on this relative to a disease called whipple

disease; not as yet another heavy metal detox issue. As many of you know,

most neuros ignore heavy metal impact anyway no matter how high the

numbers..but my copper levels have also come back more than 4 times

normal..So I'm not clear if there is anything further that would be done.In

this case again, the goal is not to pull out the toxins because they don't

think my body can handle it, but to look at whipple disease and other

long-term health problems that occur due to excess copper in the blood.
