Am I crazy or alone in my situation?

[Guest guest]

Am I crazy or alone in my situation?

I have the symptoms of mercury poisoning and a hair test that

confirms deranged mineral transport.

Having said that, proper chelation is the way out but this is hard on

my body.

Where I go crazy is that my body doesn't react in any way like other

people's body even mercury toxic peoples.

I have tried probably over 200 different supplements from the most

basic vitamin C and B and so on BUT I have found NONE that work like

they are supposed to. Besides those that closly work according to

theory, the side effects are so bizzare and unseen in others that

this is scary. I can't even count or mention the side effects I get

even from the most basic supplements.

My body over reacts to everything. I can't control anything.

Everything is a battle. Nothing is going smoothly according to plan.

My next plan is to do proper chelation with ALA until I die in my bed

or finally get better.

What's wrong with me.

Hi ph, you are not alone. You are echoing the pain of many

people caught in a trap of bizzare, erratic and inexplicable symptoms

from this toxicity (and perhaps other things contributing at the

sametime). You are not crazy, you are very sane, but you are

suffering a hell of a lot and anything you try and take, your body

ends up going into a tail spin over it.

I have had the same thing and so have others. I can end up taking

stuff, think I'm ok, and things go wrong and then I don't know if

it's the supplements or the general condition itself or both. I

stop, try again, or I try something else and so it goes on.

The very first thing I would do if I was you? Forget the supplements

for now. Concentrate totally on diet and make it as simple and plain

as you can, totally avoiding sugar in all forms (not just the typical

white sugar, but also fruits and milk, and honey, and potatoes which

are high in starch natural sugars), eliminate gluten grains from your

diet (wheat, oats, barley, rye), eliminate yeast in all forms, plus

things like vinegar, cheese etc. I know it might sound drastic, no

more cookies, no more adding sugar to cereal or in hot drinks, but it

can be essential for most of us.

Concentrate on eating vegetables, eggs, meats, raw nuts (brazil and

almonds), possibly plain acidophilus yoghurt (organic if you can),

drink water and/or herbal teas. Having good fats like butter, extra

virgin olive oils, organic coconut oil etc. You maybe able to handle

some limited grains (non gluten), but keep them low.

If you have candida overgrowth (which most of us mercury toxic people

do), your gut will likely be a mess, and this will also be

overloading your liver and anything you try and take, will not only

NOT be absorbed properly, but could become an extra strain right now

instead of being beneficial and your liver may not be able to cope

with anything at the moment.

I would fix up your gut on this diet, so your liver is able to work

easier and detox a bit better. IF you're doing this, sorry for going

on about it, but if you're not? You may find this invaluable.

Be warned, if you do decide to embark on this? You may get what is

called a " die off " effect. Which is when the candida basically

starts to starve to death because what it needs to feed on, is not

longer being provided as needed. So it will start to die, you may

get cravings, tiredness, some headaches and feeling weird/drunk for a

time as this happens. It can take a few days for it to start up, or

a few weeks. Once it starts, it can take a few days to subside or a

few weeks. But this is probably one of the best things you can do

for yourself. STick with it and do not give up, do not cheat, hold

on and let your body disgard the yeast and excess toxins.

It's not a cure for mercury poisoning, but it is a great help for

many people and allows their system to be more efficient at coping

with mercury, as well detoxing easier. You will also detox other

toxins on this diet, so that will take some load of also.

I would do this before taking anything, supplements or chelation.

Certainly, I would do it regardless, whether you want to continue to

try supplements or get onto chelation, I would seriously consider

this diet.

Do you have a liver that is FAST PHASE II and SLOW PHASE II?

And if so, what have you been doing for it?

Er...PROPER chelation, with ALA may not be what you need right now.

Details, please. Bottom line is that PROPER is what is PROPER for you

at this time.

HAve you chelated long enough with DMSA alone and NO added ALA?

Have you worked with DMPS?

We need some history here. (Sorry if you have posted it before, but I

have not been around for a little while, and missed some stuff)

> What's wrong with me.

SOunds like you are very toxic. I almost died from the crap....getting

better inch by inch.

I don't mean to be snotty by my answers, but you need to be a little

more specific...okay, a lot.

I can certainly commiserate and relate to the frustration, anguish,

exasperation, depression and sometimes, it was even pure physical

horror for me, so you are not alone in that respect. I am sure there

are others who can say the same.

Please give us amounts, supplements , what you have been chelating

with, the dosing schedule, if you are you high palsma

cysteine...etc.etc...details!

Have you read the Amalgam Illness book from cover to cover a few times?

Help us out here, so we can try and help you out, okay?

You are not crazy. You are not alone either.

I remember once when you posted test results on autism mercury you

bilirubin was high. Did you or your doctor ever figure out why that was?

In autism mercury parents often report that their kids don't tolerate

supplements at first, and some can be introduced with chelation.

Have you ever tried fresh vegetable juices. Our juicer has to be the

best investment I ever made. I juice mostly celery, with smaller

quantities of carrot, parsley, apple, ginger, sometimes spinach. The

apple and ginger are what makes it taste good. That way the nutrients

come in the whole package - much better than capsules. Then, you

still need a source of omega 3 - maybe eat small (low mercury) fatty

fish everyday if you can't tolerate cod liver oil and flax oil.

Magnesium you can get with epsom salt baths and MgSO4 or Mg Cl creams.

For protein you could take meat and pretreat it with bromelain BEFORE

cooking. That way the enzyme breaks the protein down, but is killed

during cooking so doesn't break your gut down. Just some ideas.

Are you still taking cortef? Going off cortef quickly could give a

person a hopeless feeling - or much worse. Please be careful and

please ensure that your doctor does his job responsibly and isn't

allowed to cut you off.

Have you investigated whether or not you need thyroid hormone (from

symptoms and body temperature)?

It would probably be worthwhile to look at Andy's " Pick the right diet

for your kid " in autism mercury files. Diet can give HUGE symptoms

relief, but it's a trick to figure out what is best for each

individual (and Andy has summarized the tricks).

If you start to chelate with ALA again... please go slow.

Take Care

Fats is right. Diet can make a huge difference. I have given up

processed food - no sugar,wheat,etc. I'm almost 1 month on it now

and yeah, it makes a difference. You might have a few bumps in the

beginning but stick with it. I've also added meat back into my

diet. Lots of protein. I'm following the diet for copper toxicity

since my copper levels were so high.

You might want to get the book " Why am I always so tired? " by Anne

Louise Gittleman. She explains how to rebalance zinc/copper ratio.

That MAY be a problem for you.

The nasty thing about metal poisoning is we crave, crave, crave

what is horrible for us. So it's a downward spiral.

Tk recommended a year ago that I had to give up the junk but I just

couldn't. Kept making all these deals with the devil. Well, I'm

sticking with it now. It is so worth it. Lost a few pounds too!

In all my years reading these health boards, almost without fail,

the people who reported being healed made vast improvements in their

diet.

Hang in there,

Gosh, I didn't consider or realize that it was form the metals. I

thought it was more blood sugar, allergies, and being spineless.

Somehow, you just made me feel a little bit better.

Thanks,

Inga

PS - Did I tell you about the wonderful deep fried crab puffs I ate all

day yesterday???? Well, at least I do make them with coconut oil.

(Had to add a little levity here, LOL)

My Dr. says I have Gilbert's Syndrome and of course he says that it

causes no impact on my life.

I wonder if a succesful mercury detox would bring my bilirubin back

to normal. (Now i'm 4 times the maximum allowed bilirubin in blood)

As far as diet is concerned I tried for years the candida diet and

others like that. No result what so ever ecxept frustration!

This is a nightmare.

My Dr. says I have Gilbert's Syndrome and of course he says that it

causes no impact on my life.

I wonder if a succesful mercury detox would bring my bilirubin back

to normal. (Now i'm 4 times the maximum allowed bilirubin in blood)

As far as diet is concerned I tried for years the candida diet and

others like that. No result what so ever ecxept frustration!

This is a nightmare.

Hi ph:

I haven't been on this board for a long time. Your post was so close to my own

experience

that I wanted to tell you that you that I was unable to consume much at all ten

years ago.

Istill have quite a bit of sensitivities but I've improved and you can improve

also.

I had to give up on supplements 10 years ago, but I finally am able to take a

few recently.

I can also eat more variety of foods now.

Andy posted on this board a couple of years ago about how effective sweat

therapy is for

heavy metal detox. It is what I had to embrace because I was oversensitive to

anything I

took internally.

There's much more than sweating and you can find the diet and hygenic care for

yourself

that is tolerable as you detox.

Continue to learn about how to get the mercury out of your body and how to eat

and take

care of yourself.

Be patient, positive and keep at it.

Best thoughts to you,

Gia

Hi ph, sorry the candida diet etc hasn't done much if anything

foryou. I am experiencing this also nowadays, though it used once

help me dramatically. Pity I cannot experience that anymore, though

for some, obviously it does.

If you no longer have amalgams, you'd be wise to get onto chelation

if you can handle it and start reducing the mercury. I think mercury

is responsible for many things that we can attribute to other

problems. IT disturbs almost anything in the human mind and body.

Nothing would surprise me that what you've been " diagnosed " with is

actually an underlining mercury problem.

I know we can't blame mercury for all ills, but if we can't find any

way out of them? It's probably a good idea to start looking at

mercury and seeing if chelation helps, especially if nothing else has.

Yes it is a nightmare, I have never gone through so much in my life

and I can't seem to get out of it, I sure hope you have better luck

when you start chelating.
