Re: Thorne Naturals Heavy Metal Support -

> Well I saw the ND today and will begin chelating with DMSA (Thorne

Naturals Captomer) tomorrow again. We are starting with 250 and

building to 500 mg a day which she said to take a 250 once or twice a

day.

TK--- Very bad idea and not the protocol here !!

I previously, with excellent results and no side effects, was

taking 250 mg 6x a day (per Cutler's recommendation for constant

blood levels) though she had RX'd 500mg 3x a day.

TK--- continue with this method but if you tollerate this amount

without side effects it is time to move to ALA as 250mg doses are

very high and if you don't have side effects from that you may not be

Hg toxic.

That was back in 2002. She did not seem concerned about dosing

every 4 hours though she highly regards Cutler's book.

TK--- then she really doesn't understand the material or hasn't read

it.

I think I'll break the capsules and dose it over 6 doses like

Cutler recommends anyway.

TK--- yes please

Is there an easy way to do this? The capsules are so small as it

is.

TK--- get smaller dosage capsules

> My main question is about a product by Thorne called Heavy Metal

Support. It has ALA in it (75 mg per 2 capsules) along with

selenium, and many minerals.

TK--- use regular ALA on your own

She wants me to do DMSA one week and Heavy Metal Support the next

week. I'm concerned the ALA should not be taken without the DMSA.

If I recall I stopped using the Heavy Metal Support the first time

around (mainly because I took DMSA continually) and I'm wondering if

it would be better to take them together one week and just load up on

individual minerals the other week. Or perhaps take the DMSA on one

week off the next and take the Heavy Metal Support all the time. We

do plan to add ALA to the DMSA in about two cycles if all is going

well with the DMSA. What do you all think?

TK--- please review the protocol, the above is not it. If you get no

side effect from DMSA at the dosage you have done imo I would try

using just ALA [start low 12.5mg] and the appropriate vitamins and

minerals which you take all the time on and off round.

> Additional background - there is a section in Cutlers book that

discusses old exposures that are exacerbated by ALA - mercury stored

in CNS and brain but not easily detectable without a DMSA/ALA

challenge test. At this point in time that is me. I no longer have

the symptoms I originally had and my amalgams were removed already

but I have severe endocrine problems (diabetes, thyroid, adrenal),

and MCS with some emotional instability that occurs with chemical

exposures. The MCS also causes what I call seizures or convulsions

as well.

About a year ago I took ALA without DMSA and had EXTREME anger and

depression that lasted two weeks after I stopped taking the ALA.

TK--- how much did you take and how often ? It needs to be taken

properly. the above indicates you may still have a lot of Hg to get

rid of.

I'd taken it 3 days before realizing my blurry vision, fatigue,

erratic blood sugar/thyroid/adrenal function, unreasonable anger, and

depression were caused by the ALA.

> I also have elevated ASL and AST in my last blood test and an EKG

showing sinus tachycardia with junctional depressions. My ND has

copies of all of these. I am also working with an MD who is an

allergist that studied under Theron Randolph and treats my MCS. I

have sent him copies of my old hair test and will inform him of the

chelation I am following.

>

> I am also curious if, after removal of all the mercury, anyone has

experienced improvement or remission of their MCS. I am trying to

decide how to proceed with my life as I've just been jerked off

disability and my MCS makes it such that I can't work. I have no

income and limited funds on hand that will run out in a month. My MD

is in full support of me being completely and totally disabled but

the government is another story. My ND thinks I need to move to an

MCS community on the mainland or in Canada saying that she has had

prior MCS and mercury cases that went into remission when they moved

so she thinks the environment here is a factor in my continued

illness. Essentially she said we all react to different things and

what is in the environment here may harm one person and not another

and that often change of environment helps relieve symptoms and

encourage healing.

>

> What would you recommend I do and what should I expect with this

chelation?

TK--- If you do what she suggests you will get sicker. imo I would

try the protocol correctly with out her to save expensises, you don't

need her to get ala or dmsa. after you try it correctly it will

give you more informating to make a decision on.
