RE: Water fasting and chelation?

[Guest guest]

Hi Suze,

Just my opinion but I would not fast with only water or any other

way while chelating. Chelation is very hard on your body and you

need all the nutrients, vitamins, antioxidents, minerals etc you can

get during and after. I would wait for a time when you are going to

take a break from chelation especially with this the first addition

of DMSA. Fasting itself with only water for two weeks I would think

would be challenge enough. Personally as a Hg toxic individual I

could not fast like that for 2 weeks without making myself much worse

or sick [but that's me].

Fasting does not release Hg that I am aware of, you need a chelator.

Well fasting causes fat cells to be used for energy, and in the process the

toxins stored in them get released. Hg (maybe not all forms?) is fat-soluble

and thus is stored in fat cells, to my understanding. Therefore it will be

released during a water fast. Again, that is my understanding, but I could

be wrong. And just for clarification, I've already done 3 rounds of *DMSA*

but am on my first round of using *ALA* with the DMSA. Tonight marks my

third day of water fasting and second of chelating. I don't have any major

symptoms, just a very mild headache now and then.

THanks for your feedback. If I get really bad symptoms I'll probably stop

chelating till the fast is over. I'm pretty sure I can do at least a week,

Water fasting does bring on symptoms all by itself, but hopefully nothing

too severe in the next week or two!

No one does a water fast very frequently, so why do it at the same

time as chelation? Why take the risk? Just do your water fast,

recover for a few days then go back to normal chelation schedule.

Maybe this will cause you to miss 1 or 2 chelation cycles. Not very

significant in the long haul of chelation

This is a good point. I'm not defficating nearly as often as usual, as can

be expected. What I will do though is take pysllium several times a day and

see if that helps. I may just finish this three-day chelation round and stop

till after the fast. But again, I'm concerned about what might happen to the

Hg that's possibly stored in my fat cells. Does anyone know if Hg is

typically stored in adipose fat, which I *think* is the primary fat being

used for energy during a water fast?
