TK--- no it isn't really a good thing, it means you are fairly or very toxic and the mobilization is causing damage - side effects. You should start as soon as possible with a low oral dose of DMPS or DMSA to get rid of the Hg. Make sure you take care of pathogens, thyroid and adrenals insufficiency if needed also as they are common problems for many of us. > > Any views? > > thanks > Nicola > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 -Nicola, I too am battling the same type of thing. I have heard it is very common to have more problems after removal as you get closer to the 3 month mark. I know I too felt great for a while... It is time to chelate as I understand it. Yes, our bodies are starting to dump mercury but where it goes depends on what we do. I too have begun dmsa to stop from getting any sicker. And to be honest..it isn't what I psyched myself up to be. I was a coward and nervous it would make me sicker. But it didn't. It didnt make me feel worse at all. I had some odd things like I felt calmer, vivid dreams, the urge to organize things! But nothing compared to the ill effects I feel everyday anyway. I don't know if this helps calm you any on using a chelator. I think it is a necessary part of getting better. > > > I had my amalgams removed over a 6 month period finishing in June.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Jan thanks for this. It IS helpful. My body is so sensitive to food and medications I am scared to try DMSA, especially after some of the things I have read. I wanted to wait until September when I see my dentist again and try to persuade him to prescribe oral DMPS. But I am feeling pretty lousy, so I may give the DMSA a very tentative try. Are you now chelating on a regular basis and seeing improvements? Nicola -- In frequent-dose-chelation , " Jan " wrote: > > -Nicola, > I too am battling the same type of thing.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 To TK: When you say, " take care of pathogens " - exactly what do you mean by this? Which pathogens, and how do you recommend they be taken care of? Doris > > > > I had my amalgams removed over a 6 month period finishing in > June.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I am not sure if I responded to your post on sensitivity or someone elses, but we encounter this all the time on the mercury austim board. Many kids and adults there (even ones without austim) cannot tolerate medications and foods in the beginning. One of the things they have spoken of that are very helpful are digestive enzymes. One of the reason for reacting to everything, is that your body is not digesting it thoroughly and it passes into your intestines that way. Your body is not equipped to handle partly digested anything, and therefore reacts. So many of them report better tolerance following digestive enzymes and probiotics. As I understand it, mercury destroys most of the natural enzyme processes in your body. So this helps replace them. My daughter who is amalgam sick has shown improvements in two rounds. I did one round which went well. I have however, stopped at the moment because I have learned that my hair is sky high for cadmium. And cadmium poisoning requires some other cautions to chelate it. I do not have those supplements in place yet. Once I do will continue. We are all on probiotics, and using yeast treatment. I find that yeast makes you feel worse and more sensitive to things too. > > > > -Nicola, > > I too am battling the same type of thing.
