Andy - Redistribution Question

[Guest guest]

If I was you, I would try DMSA or ALA on its own. I would also cut the dose you

are using in half. I started using ALA only at 12.5 mg per dose which is much

less than Andy's minimum recommendation for my weight and I would have reduced

it more had it not agreed with me. By the way are you sure you haven't got any

amalgam in your mouth? under crowns? under gold fillings? in root canals?

All the best,

Dagmar.

[ ] Andy - Redistribution Question

How can I be sure that the mercury is leaving my body when I chelate with DMSA

& ALA, 12 mg each, every 3 hours round the clock, 3 to 4 days on, 4 to 11 days

off, (for almost 2 years)? Since I have even stronger symptoms of mercury moving

around now than when I first started, I am concerned that it is being stirred up

but not getting out properly. I have a large mercury burden, met almost all of

your counting rules and have a huge reaction to tiny amounts of chelating

agents. When I chelate and sometimes for a few days after, my symptoms range and

vary from headaches that keeping moving around and changing, to sinus, teeth,

ear and jaw pain and pressure, fibromyalgia, anger, lethargy, depression,

reactivation of chronic fatigue virus, etc. Once in a while I have very little

reaction to chelation and I do NOT feel I am allergic to it.

This is exactly what I would be interested in knowing. This is a very

common problem. Even when a mercury free dentist told you it was all

out.

> Can't take the GS Detox Profile because that amount of caffeine would send me

to the ER.

If you are in the US you can simply have the doc order cysteine and

sulfate (only) on the test form that comes with the kit.

You don't have to do the caffeine for them to get all the other

results.

> I have many exaggerated side-effects from meds. I do take lots of good

supplements as you recommend and also, milk thistle. I definitely had great

improvement in the first 6 months, now it is so slow. Plus I seem to develop

weird problems during a chelation that hang around a few weeks or months, then

resolves on it's own - like ocular migraines, migraine headaches,

magnesium co-q-10, and butterburr extract (sold as such or under the

brand name petadolex) help a lot with migraines.

neuropathy, attention deficit, dyslexia, restless leg syndrome, etc.

body get more efficient over the course of years of chelation and dump larger

amount with the same dose of dmsa?

I am not Andy, but here are a few ideas if you want to consider them.

>>When I chelate and sometimes for a few days after, my symptoms range

and vary from headaches that keeping moving around and changing, to

sinus, teeth, ear and jaw pain and pressure, fibromyalgia, anger,

lethargy, depression, reactivation of chronic fatigue virus, etc.

These are all major yeast symptoms for me. You might want to increase

your yeast-fighting protocol.

>>neuropathy,

If you are using B vitamins, this might indicate that you no longer

need as high a dose. B toxicity can result in neuropathy.

>>restless leg syndrome,

I get this when magnesium and/or potassium is low. Also, recently I

had a major bout of this, which I eventually discovered was too much

zinc. I dropped the zinc and took some copper and it disappeared.
