TK--- this is incorrect. There may be some that mobilize Hg like

chelators.

TK--- almost all antibiotics of any kind kill off all bacteria good

and bad in your gut which can cause problems, die off symptoms can be

just as bad and the same as Hg symptoms. Many find that consistent

control with diet first, probiotics and then possibly natural

antifungal agents works much better than trying to kill everything

off.

If you have hg toxicity the theory is that until you get enough out

you will not be able to get rid of the bacteria problems and possibly

the Lyme problems, they can be kept under control or at least

minimized.

Hi ,

I know this is kind of an old post, and I hope you are feeling better, but I was

the person that seemed to reacted badly to antibiotics this fall. I'll make

some comments below.

Does Ceftriaxone/Rocephin chelate mercury?

Hello,

I read a post recently warning not to take certain types of

antibiotics because they chelate mercury. I've recently done three

weeks or so of the antibiotic Rocephin -- brand name for Ceftriaxone

-- via IV infusion, and I've had a setback since then. I've read that

Ceftriaxone chelates calcium and possibly iron, but I've found nothing

about mercury or heavy metals. Anyone have info on how this drug may

affect mercury-poisoned individuals?

---------I don't have any info on this, only what was stated on this board. I

had two doses/rounds of Levaquin this fall, and the second dose really set me

back, and felt like it stirred up mercury, but that's only my perception of

it.-------Jackie T.

Also, any other advice would be appreciated to help me overcome this

setback. I had gotten sidetracked on trying to get a leg up on a

mycoplasma and possible Lyme infection, hence the Rocephin try, but

I'm planning to resume chelation (early stages, with 25 mg. DMSA)

soon. Could you help me with what to do about this sense of pressure

in my head? Sometimes I feel as if my head is in a vise.

-------I think if you feel up to resuming chelation, that may be what you need

to help. It seems to be helping me somewhat. I had some weird sensations in my

head too, especially on the first two days of my last round, but then it cleared

by the third day. I almost thought I was going to have to lower my dose. I

just started another round today, and didn't get any weird head sensations, and

it gave me a " lift " like it usually does, although probably not as much as

sometimes. So for me, continuing to chelate seems to be the only thing that is

really helping.-------Jackie T>

It keeps my

body in a state of stress and makes it hard to think. I'd had this

before but gotten past it.

-------So what did you do before to get past this? I would do the same thing

again, and if it was chelation, then that's what I would do.-------Jackie T.

Also, I'll get this odd sensation in my

mouth, like when you chew on tin-foil. (I had my amalgams replaced

over a year ago.) And my digestion/appetite gets in this wierd,

sort-of stalled state.

-------Yes my eating patterns seem kind of messed up too, I guess I was

blaming it on the yeast/candida.----------Jackie T>

I'm currently not doing Rocephin, but I am

doing 200 mg/day of Doryx (a version of Doxycycline) and 100 mg/day on

and off to keep a fungal issue at bay. ...just mentioning that in

case it might be related.

---------The antibiotics definitely caused increased yeast/candida for me, and

dealing with that has been tricky, because I have made myself feel worse by

trying to attack it too hard. So I have to take it easy on that.--------Jackie

t.

Please forgive me if I should be perusing the archives for this

information. It's just about all I can to do post this at the moment.

Thanks for any help.

---------I don't know if I was any help, but hope you are doing better, and

just wanted to let you know you're not alone! Good luck!---------Jackie T>

No, this does not chelate mercury.
