Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hello listmates I am researching the possibility of chelating my dad, who is slipping rapidly into senility, and would appreciate any input. He had his amalgams out at my insistence last fall, but didn't follow up with any supplement or chelation protocol. It shows. I cornered Andy at Dana's conference, and he said use the same protocol as we use on kids, and that the risks are no greater. But my dad is in poorer health, and we can do blood tests on my kids; so far, I don't have a doctor to monitor my dad. (Anyone know of one in southern CA, who treats adults responsibly?) One said maybe he could do blood tests, but he suggested I take my dad elsewhere for IV chelation. I went to Dana's link for acquring DMSA without a prescription, using this link: /files/HOW_TO_buy_DMSA and it didn't work. A temporary glitch or what? I would appreciate any suggestions. I keep thinking how Boyd Haley said alzeimers is not aluminum as much as it is mercury poisoning... Lorilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One said maybe he could do blood tests, but he suggested I take my dad elsewhere for IV chelation. You could consider ordering blood tests through Direct Lab Services, as a possibility. However, you will NOT get any interpretation of the results (which you would get with a doctor). See: /files/HOW_TO_hair_test for contact info etc on Direct Lab Services. Call them to ask which tests they can or cannot order. I have personally had a blood test run through them, so, yes, this is possible. Just a matter of which tests they will do and which you want. Another thing you can consider, if you want, is having his health monitored using Traditional Chinese Medicine. I admit this is not something everyone would have confidence in, but it works okay for me. It is very different than running tests. An advantage is that the acupunture and herbs will benefit one's general health in any case. > > I went to Dana's link for acquring DMSA without a prescription, using this link: /files/HOW_TO_buy_DMSA > and it didn't work. A temporary glitch or what? The above link, in your message, works for me. has seemed a bit " slow " in the last day though--- maybe a temporary glitch? Try again. If it doesn't work you can also try it this way: 1. go to: /files/ 2. scroll down to file " HOW_TO_buy_DMSA " and click on it. There are only a FEW non-Rx sources of DMSA. Vitamin Research Products seems to be the most popular one. You can find them on the web--- a bottle of DMSA is about $45. > > I would appreciate any suggestions. Well, I think you would have to try to address his other health issues (as much as you can) while you proceed to chelate..... but I'm sure you are already doing that..... You say he is in poorer health--- so the questions would be " in what way " and " what can be done about it " . best, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 i would like to chelate my father he is going to be 60 soon, I'm sure it will benefit him cause he is mercury poisoned but don't want to do any permanent damage because of his age, so my question is, is 60 to old? moriamerri <moriam@...> wrote:i wouldn't chelate an elderly man, you will lose to many neurons. > > if you search on my posts you will see my selenium recommendations > > and other trace minerals > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 A couple things to keep in mind is that if the individual has false teeth (dentures) the pink gum part contains mercury and sometimes cadmium so they may have ongoing exposure even if they've had all their teeth out. Some on this list have seen improvements in older adults (I wouldn't call 60 elderly, although the individual may feel that way) with Epsom salt baths and a gluten-free, casein-free diet in addition to chelation.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Age is so relative!.... 60 isn't " elderly, " (except if you're 25!) I'm 54, had my amalgams out last summer, have done some chelating, planning to do more. I even plan to do some simple chelating on my mother. She's 82. She has dementia, but hers is derived more from pain due to spinal nerve damage. Dementia can also be caused from various infections. What health issues does your dad have?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 my dad has high blood pressure, anxiety, mood disorders, and fatigue, his palms are also pink, but he doesn't believe me so still trying to convince him that mercury is the problem judyl_nev <juude@...> wrote:Age is so relative!.... 60 isn't " elderly, " (except if you're 25!)

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Hi again. Go for it! His symptoms certainly sound like mercury toxicity. As I said, my mother has dementia. It is so difficult to deal with. When you see your once-intelligent parent beginning to lose it and watch them go downhill, it is difficult, disheartening, etc. My mother has lost so much. She's difficult to deal with, and it is exhausting trying to care for her. She requires help on every level from dressing, bathing, bathroom, even walking as she is unstable on her feet. This has been over six years with her. And at your dad's age, he could go on for a long time in a state of dementia. I've " forced " my sister to get her amalgams out, and plan to chelate her. She's difficult NOW. I can only imagine how difficult she'll be if she slips into dementia. She's already quite forgetful. She's " only " 53! I'm also working on other family members to get amalgams out and chelate. I can relate to the mood disorders, anxiety, fatigue. I even used to have pink palms. At this point in my life, I'm wondering if my lifelong depression and other health issues were caused by mercury. I've wasted so much of my life being in poor health. I'm feeling better now, but still fatigued. My brain is much better, though, and I'm much more emotionally even. Good luck to you.

Sorry it's not simple. I guess you can ask the dentist??? (I don't know why I have doubts about this...) Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
