Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 That is encouraging that your symptoms have improved with chelation. Jeanie Dr. Dear , I had my back x-rayed in August and the report reads: " There is minimal disc space narrowing at L4-L5. There is mild degenerative lipping at L3-L4.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 All the more reason to start chelating again. Really like the 3 on 11-18 day off thing. That I can do. Gonna pick back up on the detoxing and then go for it again. Think I'm gonna do the Dr. Shulze colon detox as well as some overall and get these drugs cleared out first. Man have I been taking a lot. I think I'm pulling out of this back thing. Starting to. Jeanie Re: Dr. My back xray says pretty much the same! Weird, huh?

How strongly do you think it is linked to mercury. I'm trying not to suspect it everywhere, but hard to avoid since my own struggles with it (mercury, not back pain). Back pain was never a big component of my own health history, but I have been getting really regular adjustments since I was 21. I continually see many, many patients with candidiasis. This is what makes me suspect mercury more than just back pain. Back pain is just really common, mostly because people don't maintain their spines and they wait until something gets really bad before they see a chiropractor. Can you imagine having tooth pain and saying, well, I'll wait until it's really bad before I do anything about it? I suppose people do that too sometimes. It just seems like the rule rather than the exception with chiropractic though. People are also unnecessarily afraid of the chiropractor. Getting adjustments is actually safer than taking aspirin. The back pain patients who make me suspect mercury are those who can't hold an adjustment, who never seem to get completely better (most people do get completely better from adjustments), and those who have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue with back pain as just one of their many symptoms. ...also those who appear to have several disc levels degenerating, like 3 or 4. I also suspect those who need lots and lots of magnesium to keep from having their backs " go out " on them. If you just need 400mg a day to prevent this, you aren't in this category. Since the above people are the ones who keep hanging around our office, it's hard not to see mercury everywhere. When someone's back does " go out " on them for no good reason, a lack of magnesium is almost always involved. A good reason would be lifting something too heavy, getting in a car accident, falling or almost catching yourself from falling, or spending a lot of time standing while bent at the waist to do something, or repeatedly bending at the waist while standing. Sleeping on your stomach is a big bad thing to do too. You can all stop that right now! > > My back pain has been much better since amalgam removal, some > chelation and supplementation (including Mg, Vit C and seven amino > acids). Is mild degeneration reversible? The types of changes you mention on your x-rays are not reversible. Symptoms are almost always reversible. I've seen people with the most horrific looking x-rays become assymptomatic in no time. It is so regular that I expect it. Strange, huh? > > Thanks so much for your contribution to this forum. Gratitude is nice, and one of those emotions (along with love and faith) that will combat pain from lots of origins. It is good to find as many things to be grateful for as possible, even those things that seem bad, and although much more difficult, even those things that seem tragic.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Happy Birthday ! I turn 37 in March. Seems this mercury thing is hitting a LOT of people hardest in their mid-thirties, doesn't it?
