RE: Is lack of HCL from mercury toxicity?

[Guest guest]

I had all these problems 2-3 months ago. I was almost completely

anorexic and had lost 15 pounds. For me, that put me severely below a

healthy weight, and many of my friends were telling me that I was

looking frail/thin.

I pretty much attributed it to toxicity. I had severe digestive

problems for about 4 months after I had surgery on a bunion. I must

have been injected with some mercury for the procedure because I would

up with metals toxicity and severe candida yeast overgrowth. I first

got the yeast under control, then I found out about chelation, toxicity

and the Cutler protocol. I've been chelating steadily for 3 months now

at a low dose of DMSA, and this has made all the difference.

Lack of apetite is a symptom of several different maladies/diseases that

go on in the body. You'll need to analyze other symptoms to narrow it

down. If you're anything like I was, adrenal support will slowly bring

your hunger and digestion back where they should be. You must be sure

not to exceed the power of your digestion! Only eat as much as you can

hold in both hands for a meal. We Americans are notorious for eating

twice as much as we actually need nutritionally, and this puts a strain

on our digestion. Is it any wonder some of the most common

diseases/cancers relate to the digestive system?

If problems are really severe, I would suggest trying an appetite

stimulant. Ginger works well, so does dandelion (but it's

contraindicated for mercury toxic individuals). You may want to try

marijuana. It works wonders for people who have cancer or AIDS, and

have lost their appetite, and are thus wasting away.

That means low cortisol (adrenals).

Mercury causes it by poisoning the hypothalmus, pituitary, and

adrenals. Have you tried any adrenal support? Do you follow Andy's

diet advise for the adrenals - small freq meals, protein at every

meal, no sugar? Any chance of finding a doctor to prescribe cortef?

Hi thanks . I didn't know that was anything to do with

adrenals. I do have small meals, but I barely eat because I am so

ill I can hardly function a lot of the time and never get hungry.

And I do not eat sugar. I still suffer cramping in my gut, that has

never really gone away.

I've not been given anything for my adrenals. I guess I could get

some kind of normal adrenal support supplement to help me a little.

I did seem to experience increased appetite when I was given a herbal

supplements from ayush herbs, such as " pippli " and " neem plus "

and " AP mag " . pippli I found out promotes HCL, so maybe that was

what did it, but I am unsure.

I have found out I have a lack of stomach acid.

Hi, thanks for your comments. It helps to hear this. Though of

cousre, I don't know for sure what is really happening with me. I am

pretty much permanently sick, though I have had no amalgams for nine

years. I have chelated over the years, got improvement and then had

other dental visits for wisdom tooth removal, and replacement on two

older composites, I also had a viral infection and since all that, I've

never come right. It's ongoing.

I have apparently cavitations now, and many other issues. Liver

problems, gut problems, mercury and it's all too much. Anything I do

to try and improve myself, I can get severely worse without improvement.

I don't eat sugar and I hardly eat at all becuase I'm never hungry. I

do'nt eat big meals either. I have tried chelating, but at the moment

I'm intolerable to it. I hope I can at some point.

thanks for the suggestions. I don't think marijuanna would be a good

idea.... I have used that in the past on occassion and was made very

ill by it and further toxic. But yes, I know for some people it can

help in that area.

I had low HCl and am mercury toxic. I went on the Salt/C protocol and

it is completely solved. I now have stomach acid. I believe the

problem was a salt deficiency, leading to low chloride ions available to

the parietal cells to produce the HCl. I naiively believed the nonsense

about salt being bad for us for many years. Salt is necessary for life.

Your stomach acid and adrenals do not work well without adequate salt,

and that can cascade into a lot of other problems. With low HCl you get

gut parasites, for example.

But the problem perpetuates because it is true that table salt is a

poisonous artificial food that we all react poorly to. You must use

natural unprocessed sea salts, you can eat as much of that as you like

safely, even with high BP, I know, I had high BP prior to using natural

sea salt, and that has improved on salt/c. I use about 6g of salt/c

daily, some people are taking as much as 18g daily and they are recoving

from hard illnesses like Lyme Disease and CFS.

You can also take magnesium chloride to raise your HCl if you don't want

to add that much salt.

This is all anecdotal, I don't know any doctors who are treating low

stomach acid with salts like sodium chloride and magnesium chloride.

But I did and many others have and it works. Someday somebody who knows

biochemistry will stop all the nonsense we are being told about salt.

If you are interested in Salt/C, I have posted about it on my CFS blog -

Is lack of HCL from mercury toxicity?

I have found out I have a lack of stomach acid. I also barely ever get

hungry and do not produce saliva as I once did when I used to feel an

urge to eat.

I do not know what this is due to. I can't gain any weight of course

either. And am wondering if others have this and whether mercury

toxicity causes it.

thanks

[Guest guest]

Also, forgot to add, I have gained weight since starting Salt/C and

getting my HCl levels up, I was very low weight. But I have done a few

other things that might have helped the weight gain, I discuss those

somewhat on my blog.

I had low HCL and used all types of adrenal support, for years, and that

did nothing to help. Salt/C fixed it completely. I'm sure the mercury

toxicity is involved somehow, perhaps it is altering the adrenals so

that the aldosterone levels are off, this would cause us to dump sodium.

And the high intake of salt might correct that, hard to say. But I

think the chloride ions are also missing for some reason, because

magnesium chloride helps my HCl just as much as sodium chloride.

I have Thorne, Betaine HCl and pepsin, to be taken with meals.

I agree that extra salt and vitamin C will help. I have been taking 6

g vitamin C per day for about 6 years. I buy it now in the ascorbic

acid form and put it in blender drinks (with rice or hemp protein,

rice milk, other supplements, fruit). I also use it to fill all my

chelation capsules.

Extra salt has helped to bring my blood pressure up. It also seems to

help with the fatigue, nausea, brain fog.

Adrenal cortex extract is what Andy usually suggests. A search using

onibasu would likely find brands he is familiar with and doseages.

Let me know if you want me to search for you.

Andy's book talks about some of the adrenal support herbs. Other

books that are good are Teitelbaum's " From Fatigued to Fantastic "

(it's in our local library), and " Adrenal Fatigue " by .

For how to use cortisol safely see " Safe Uses of Cortisol " by

McK Jefferies. I like to have these books because I forget things so

easily and have to look them up.

I did take an adrenal support herb mix for a while, but didn't notice

any improvement, so stopped. I would have continued to experiment if

I didn't have cortisol. I'm so lucky to have a prescription for cortef.

All the best
