You could try ALA again. I started with 12.5 mg at least every 3 hours (during

days and during nights) for at least 3 days. Then take at least the same number

of days of ALA, but continue to take other supplements like vitamin C.

New member of group - Andy I wrote you an

e-mail and posting it here

Hi everyone,

I'm a new member of the group. I sent the following e-mail to Andy

and posting it here. I feel I need some advice badly!

Some background first.....

I'm a (UK based) 39 yr old woman suffering from chronic fatigue,

M.C.S. for 12 years. It started after a series of Hepatitis B

vaccinations). I developed various odd symptoms esp fatigue, brain

fog, fleeting numb sensations, twitching muscles, digestive problems,

etc.

I've known for a long time that mercury is almost certainly behind my

problems.....

* My illness began around the time I was having a series of Hepatitis

B vaccinations. These vaccines contain theromersal (sp?) which is a

mercury derivative

* I did a DMSA test about 7/8 yrs ago with an 'environmental'

practitioner (Dr Kingsley, Leicestershire, UK) which was

positive for mercury but I couldn't afford the expensive treatment so

didn't follow up.

*kinesiology tests and vega tests always came up positive for mercury

*hair analysis done 4 years ago showed mercury at OK levels but

likely to go into the danger zone if my iron and zinc and selenium

levels decreased (these were OK at the time). However my potassium

and sodium were at very low levels or no (potass) level!

I actually had my 4 fillings removed 6 years ago BEFORE the hair

analysis. The dentist followed the right protocol with oxygen mask

etc. The removal (done over a period of a few months) actually made

no noticeable difference to health problems, though the difference

may have been subtle. I've never done a proper chelation.

Health problems have varied over the years, depending on my diet

which can be very good but also been bad at times mainly due to

unbearable food cravings (due to deficiencies) for chocolate and

other junk foods. I still have digestive problems, possibly a gluten

intolerance, and poor gut dysbiosis which I'm trying to deal with.

I've eaten a lot of fish over the past few years (usually tinned

salmon). I also went through a period of eating virtually no protein

and food generally due to intolerances, leading to severe loss of

weight for a few years (probably weakening my liver and it's

detoxification cabailities).

Following the period of low weight, my health has never been quite

the same as I developed multiple chemical sensitivity though

currently my energy levels are pretty good. However my cognitive

abilities have declined esp memory, learning, anger outbursts and

extreme irritability. This is partley due to an inconsistent diet.

However, this is also due to something I tried a few months back....

I started taking a supplement (UK company...Biocare's " Lipoguard " )to

help with brain function containing amongst other things Vit E,

rosemary oil, limonene, phosphatydlserine, CoQ10 lycopene, lutein and

EPA and DHA. It also contained 100mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid. I took

mostly one sometimes two capsules every day or every other day,

though only for about 10 days. I was also taking a liver herbal

support supplement containing bupleurum, dandelion, milk thistle and

some others.

I started to experience mental confusion and extreme anger, fairly

persistent metal taste in mouth (despite no fillings!!) after a few

days but I persisted in taking it a bit longer. I then developed a

cold and found my cognitive abilities had improved a lot and my

energy was excellent. To be honest I didn't know what was going on as

I didn't know ALA chelated mercury! I stopped taking the supplement

as thought it best to give it a rest.

As I had developed the cold (a sign of immune improvement), I thought

I would start taking the supplement again over Christmas and got the

mental confusion again but didn't improve cognitively so I stopped

taking it. Since then I keep getting the metal taste in my mouth with

a lot of saliva and my cognitive abilities are pretty bad, worse

than they have ever been. I forget names, forget what day it

is, can't learn anything, remember things wrongly, make cognitive

mistakes and generally my usually quick thinking brain is probably

only functioning at 1/2 capacity. I'm also getting fairly frequent

headaches, above my forehead (I hardly ever get headaches usually).

I'm also much more sensitive to my computer and other things eg

fluorescent lighting.

I'm wondering what my options are. I'm lacking funds but things I do

have are Bodypure footpads. I've taken them twice 2 days apart up to

now. Do you think they work?

Also pascalite clay which is supposed to help get rid of the metals.

What is your opinion on this?

Would homeopathy help desensitive me to mercury? I'm assuming I must

be more sensitive than other people to its effects.

I can buy NDF though it is very expensive. Do you have any experience

of this?

I assume as I took the ALA supplement with spaces of 1 or 2 days

inbetween this has led to these problems. I read you recommend

taking it every 3 hours. I'm scared I have moved mercury that was

perhaps not in my brain before, into it now.

Would liver flushing help? I have just started this, which increased

my energy alot but only helped my brain a little.

I also take ionic minerals and toxin-free fish oils, 500mg Vit C and

just started on noni juice (seems to be helping but also feeling

tired, irritable, metal taste again etc.) I'm due to starting Aloe

Vera tomorrow. Also take magnesium and zinc though may not be

absorbing them!

I can't tolerate chlorella or cilantro...make me feel quite wired and

anxious.

Can't tolerate niacin (vit B3) due to overdosing on it a couple of

years ago. Makes me feel nauseous and very toxic.

I drink filtered water but bathe in unfiltered. Is this inadvisable?

Would you suggest totally avoiding all fish?

Finally do you happen to know of any good 'chelation' experts in the

UK?

Thanks so much for reading if you manage to get this far!!

If you have the time to reply I would greatly appreciate any comments

or advice.

AN UPDATE....

I've been doing a lot of detoxing the past week...drinking noni

juice, potassium broth, juicing veggies, a bit of barley grass and

spirulina. Also a coffee enema and water enema. The occasional

footpad. Yesterday developed a strong headache which is still with me

now almost 24 hours later. It's in my forehead and just above. I did

a pascalite bath last night which made no difference. I hadn't read

your mail until this morning (about these clays not working). My

memory is a bit faulty, though I feel my body is trying to have a

cold again which I suppose is a good thing.

I will finish it there. Sorry this is such a long message!!! Thanks

to anyone if they've managed to read it all!!

Regards

Anne

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much for your reply , I really appreciate it!

Yes I know my adrenals have been stressed for many years....it's a

common symptom with C.F.S. I take Ashwagandha or gota kola

periodically which help.

I find a lot of protein doesn't agree with me so I find that kind of

diet hard to stick to. Plus it's hard on the kidneys.

Some people claim that footpads have really helped them so I'm kind

of open-minded but I have to say I've not noticed any real benefit

when I've used them myself. Likewise re the clay baths though s

Moritz claims you need 1 or 2 baths to get rid of mercury!!

Thanks so much for warning me about NDF...that's very worrying!! I

really hope your friend gets her health back

Liver flushing again...lots of conflicting advice. I did one about 3

weeks ago and it DID boost my energy a lot, and my memory did improve

though I had a lot of cravings afterwards so perhaps it drew on my

reserves too much. I ended up eating too much gluten disrupting my

digestion which has sent me into a relapse.

Thanks too for letting me know that spirulina can be contaminated

with mercury! I've had that on and off for years and must admit it

does clear my head and give me a physical boost, so confused I'm now!

Do you know anything about Seagreens (Arctic Sea Rack)?

www.seagreens.com. I got some today and it has been endorsed by the

British Society for Mercury-Free Dentistry so presumably it's not

contaminated with mercury?!!

Do you think fish should be avoided?

Yes I ordered Andy's book this morning and will definitely have to

read it several times as my comprehension is not so great!

Thanks again...sorry for another long post!

Thanks Dagmar,

Yes I might consider getting some ALA at a much smaller dose. How do

you wake up every 3 hours and take ALA..set the alarm? What a

hero!!

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean when you said 'then take

at least the same number of days of ALA'?? You mean take for at

least another 3 days, after the 3 day 3 hourly regimen? Apologies if

I seem a bit thick!!

I've ordered Andy's book anyway

Thanks for your support

Hi Anne -

I'm not Dagmar, but yes, an alarm clock can do wonders to help you

remember the ALA every 3 hours. I was going to upload a little

chart that I use to mark off each 3 hour dose, then realized that I

don't see a Files section in this group. Anyway, it helps me to

make sure I take the dose, as sometimes I have woken up in the

morning and wondered " did I take that 3:00 am dose? " . Anyway, alarm

clocks and a checklist will help you keep it straight.

The days off mean to say pick 3 days a week (like Friday, Saturday,

Sunday) to chelate, then take the other 4 days off. This would be 1

round each week.

It will help your adrenals if you can take small quantities of protein

or amino acids with every meal and snack. I like to use rice protein

powder, almond butter, nuts, seeds, chicken, fish. It will also help

if you can restrict sugar or even try no sugar. When you get Andy's

book read about adrenal support.

I have found that I do real well on a gluten free diet. It was very

tough at first. I was completely addicted to gluten and sugar. But

once I got beyond the addict part it really helped.

I don't know about this product. I would think that you could get

lots of nutrition from the potassium broths and vegetable juices that

you spoke about in a previous mail, without so much expense and

uncertainty.

I have read posts from some mercury toxic people who said that they

could not tolerate fish after amalgam removal. I think it depends on

the type of fish and on the person. I completely avoid big fish like

tuna. Larger fish eat lots of smaller fish and the mercury is

concentrated. Small fish might be ok. I do think it's important to

get lots of omega 3 oils from good quality ( tested to be free from

mercury) fish oils. I think the deep sea Norwegian ones might be ok.

Anne,

I'd be interested to hear what Dr. Kingsley does for mercury detox

treatment and why it is so expensive, if you have time to tell me

sometime.

Thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks again for your post!

Yes I do eat most of the things you mention.

I've been on a sugar and wheat-free diet for 10 years though I must

say I do relapse a few times a year, esp at Xmas time!! I'm

determined to stay off sugar for good now though! I'm also off

gluten now and I know that will help as I've tried it before.

Yes I take fish oils that have been tested and usually avoid tuna but

I'm concerned about the salmon I eat, so may cut back on that for a

bit.

Thanks for welcoming me to the group

This is surprisingly common. The Mainstream medical religion of course

won't admit this any more than any mass murderer admits to things

before faced with the death penalty. I hear this story all the time.

The hep B vax seems to be particularly bad. I suspect it causes some

kind of not yet characterized autoimmune response to your own liver.

characteristic of liver damage.

excreted mostly by the normal healthy liver. Hep B vax seems to turn

this off selectively.

Yeah. Not sure how much it is the thimerosal or the vaccination

itself.

Proper treatments are inexpensive. As in chelate your brains out with

ALA for years on end, less than $100 for the ALA.

> *kinesiology tests and vega tests always came up positive for mercury

I have often found these reliable, the problem is it is practitioner

dependent and it is impossible to know if a given practitioner is

" calibrated " or nuts unless you see a lot of results from that

particular person.

Suggesting functionally inadequate adrenal performance. Adrenal cortex

extract helps with this.

You really would do well to get a copy of my book

Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicitiies

www.noamalgam.com/hairtestbook.html

to learn about the derangement of mineral transport characteristic of

mercury problems, adrenal signs such as you describe above, and other

useful information that can be extracted from the hair test. It also

covers the very most basic aspects of detox and chelation.

The mercury is waiting patiently for you to do that.

Chelation is the way to deal with it in the long term.

This is a relatively low mercury fish.

The liver recovers once stresses like this are removed. It is most

likely the ongoing hep b vax reaction that is mostly the problem.

A good sign to avoid it.

It doesn't work. ALA works and is cheap.

Yup.

I'm sure you did. And if you want it out, you have to use ALA properly

to remove it.

It provides temporary relief when it works, serious problems when it

doesn't.

Mg and zinc good, aloe depends from person to person.

Good, that means it will be easier to convince you to not use them so

That's fine since it isn't really useful for much.

Niacinamide may modestly relieve chemical sensitivity.
