Besides the obvious pill vs liquid. I'm not finding much info online about why one is chosen over the other, which might be best, which might be quickest, etc. Thank you Hello DarqFire, IV chelation is done in " one big shot " --- and usually a large dose -- of chelation agent. This can be dangerous. Here is a site devoted to the dangers of DMPS IV chelation: http://www.dmpsbackfire.com/default.shtml IV chelation is also expensive, as you need to pay for the IV. It is usually done with DPMS, which is MUCH more expensive than DMSA or ALA -- this also is a reason it is expensive. EDTA is not an effective chelator of mercury or lead [it is also used for IV chelation.] Regarding oral chelation, you can read about Andy's protocol [one of many possible protocols]. Andy's protocol is very low dose, and with the doses frequently, in order to keep a steady [or somewhat steady] level of the chelation agent in the bloodstream. If you DON'T do this it can result in mercury redistribution, and many people respond poorly. There are many protocols that do not do it this way. Here is information on this, in detail: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/files/ANDY_INDEX Look for the section about CHELATION DOSE AND DOSE SCHEDULE and another setion about KEEPING A STEADY BLOODSTREAM LEVEL OF CHELATION AGENTS AND " BAD " PROTOCOLS. This will fill you in on this protocol. With oral chelation you will probably have a wider choice of chelation agents. Alpha lipoic acid, for example, is available all over, is sold OTC freely, and is very inexpensive. I chelated for 1.5 years and probably spent around $100 for the ALA for the entire period. I also do not much fancy the idea of IVs. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 See www.dmpsbackfire for why you don't want to do iv chelation with DMPS for mercury. EDTA isn't good for mercury.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Good morning Glen, > This is a very one sided explanation, having mentioned possible > downsides of DMPS treatment without saying anything about the thousands > and thousands of people who have had brain damage from using ALA Actually, I do not think that DMPS treatment in inherently dangerous. It is using it in one large dose rather than in small timed doses [8 hours apart for DMPS] which is the problem. DMPS injections are simply an extreme example of using a chelation agent in a risky manner. It is also true that use of DMSA or ALA in a similar fashion is also risky, and I would advise that ALA or DMSA injections are dangerous if anyone asked me. I addressed DMPS mostly, with a short mention of EDTA, because these are the 2 agents that I have heard of being used in this manner. > (especially using Perricone). I don't know what this is. > I for one have never been harmed by using > DMPS IV's (40 IV's so far) I'm aware that there are many people who get them without incident. > but, have been harmed using Andy's protocol, > I still have damage to my right eye to remind me. Thanks for writing us about it. I will be very interested to learn more -- such as the answers to the questions Andy asked. I am always interested in ANYONE's negative effects, and am especially interested in hearing about negative effects from Andy's protocol. I have not heard many, so they are especially valuable to me. > You also didn't > mention that the damage by ALA and DMSA is likely to involve the brain. > DMPS does not cross the BBB, but ALA and DMSA do. There is both more risk and more opportunity in using ALA because it crosses the BBB. The material I referred to [ANDY_INDEX] does cover this, although it is true that I would like to have a great deal more detail on this [and many other things] in this index. It is quite important to use ALA **because** it crosses the BBB. It is also important to use it with caution [in a safe manner]. While I think you are incorrect about DMSA crossing the BBB, arguments on the subject tend to be terribly tedious. Anyone interested can read some of the debate from prior occasssions in ANDY_INDEX [in the section on DMSA]. > I've noticed some > statement here over the last couple of days regarding how people are > feeling while taking DMSA.

There is controversy and contention as to what the correct treatment is. If, in fact, there is a " correct treatment " then I believe it follows that there are many doctors from whom you will not get it [whatever it is], since there are doctors using a very very wide range of treatments, from IV DMPS to homeopathy to NDF..... > Yes it does cost more, but doing it by > yourself from a book etc you stand the chance of getting brain damage > etc. Brain damage is a result of doing things that can cause brain damage. It does not matter where you learned them. You could get them from a doctor, from the internet, from a book, from your neighbor, etc. Likewise, it does not matter whether your methods are free or cost millions. Neither money nor degrees are actually involved. best wishes, Moria > > Regards, Glen. > > Re: Mercury Chelation > > > > > Can someone explain to me the differences between oral chelation and > IV chelation, or point me to an URL that discusses this.

I can't possibly figure out how you got that conclusion. Actually I do replace them, but you don't seem to be aware of some other thing. The body is using those nutrients for the chelation process. It's not the chelators themselves who pull out the nutrients (at least I don't think so). It's the fact that the body needs a lot of nutrients for fighting oxidative stress (which happens A LOT during chelation). It doesn't matter what kind of chelation. > There is no replacement for > going to an experienced chelating doctor and getting the correct > treatment for Mercury poisoning. Obviously you must not be a member of the autism-mercury group. You would hear there about many parents who went to experienced doctors and their kids got worse. Also, I am doing chelation by myself, Andy protocol, and both me and my son are doing great. Never been to a doctor. So I guess there is a replacement for going to an " experienced chelating doctor " . > Yes it does cost more, but doing it by > yourself from a book etc you stand the chance of getting brain damage > etc. LOL!! Come on..... You mean by going to a doctor you don't stand the same " chance " ? I would say that you have a lot more chances to have that happening if you choose to let an " experienced doctor " take care of it. Let's not forget that the same doctors got us brain damaged. There is another way. You can learn to think for yourself and then it gets incredibly easy. And safe. I'm not saying you're not thinking for yourself if you're going to a doctor to do chelation. But I'm saying it's easy to chelate, observe, read to educate yourself, do the thing that's right for you, by yourself. A lot of people do it.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 Hi Glen, I'd really like to know what chelation agent(s), dose(s) and timing you were using. And more about what happened. You are welcome to use this format, it includes a lot of detail: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/files/Survey_directions http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/files/Survey_form > I've spoken to quite a few people that have ended up brain damaged > by Dr Perricone's protocol for wrinkles, I guess he never took mercury > poisoning into consideration or even knew ALA chelated mercury. So, what is Perricon's protocol for wrinkles? Let me guess: take ALA less often than every 3 hours. LOTS of people use ALA once a day or randomly. I think it is generally unusual for people to realize it chelates mercury, and far more exotic yet for anyone to think they need to take it every 3 hours. It is quite a problem, since people recommend and prescribe it all over the place....... Also, since I took pretty large amounts of ALA (every 3 hours when I was " on " ), should I have less wrinkles now? I've seen some topical ALA cremes--- I've got lots of ALA around so I thought maybe I'd try that too... mix some into face cremes.... (the commercial cremes with ALA seem overpriced to me.) best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read quite a number of posts from parents who test urine and/or poop on an ongoing basis, and who report that the metals coming out CHANGE over time.

It's high in sulfur, as are chelators > like DMSA. Dangerous may be a bit too strong a word. Many people who are mercury toxic have messed-up sulfur chemistry. However, it is messed up in different ways. Not all the same. Some have high sulfur levels and need to AVOID eating sulfury stuff and avoid sulfury supplements. When taking ALA, they will do better on a very low sulfur diet (since ALA is sulfury). Other people have low levels of sulfur and need to eat MORE and take supplements (like NAC). Garlic is one of many sulfury foods. For those who can eat it, its great. It is antiviral, antibacterial, and wards off vampires You can read more about the sulfur issues, if you wish, here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/files/ANDY_INDEX Look for the section about " sulfur and thiols " . best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the religious question of whether it is evilly apostate to do something for yourself that actually works and makes you better is OK even when it doesn't involve letting a D O C T O R do unpleasant and dangerous procedures to you does seem to be at the heart of the mercury debate. Personally I view even considering it an issue to be a severe mental illness, though one it is not surprising that MD's aren't willing to diagnose. Think of what they would say about those people who can't go to sleep unless their Mommy or her duly delegated representative tucks them in at night!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 > I wish people would stop attaching PERSONALLY! Andy, you should know > better. Just the facts Andy, just the Facts....... Well, we discussed the facts about several issues, and also some interesting questions of philosophy and belief. Pointing out factual errors, disagreeing philosophically or not sharing beliefs are things some people see as attacks no matter how carefully worded, while others discuss them reasonably regardless of how worded. Also, some people get confused about facts, philosophy and belief. Some people believe that facts are whatever people in recognized positions of authority say, others believe in making up their own minds. Generally these two types of people have a hard time communicating. Also, it has been my observation that those who have the misfortune to get mercury toxic yet continue to rely on authorities for facts (usually bouncing from authority to authority) do not get well. Those who rely on themselves to figure it out often do. Thus philosophy really may be important to your own personal health outcome. Stop reading Mercola and start thinking for yourself if you want to get well. This list is a relatively good place to come once you have decided to do that. Andy . .. . . . . . . . . ..

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Hi LadyDarqFire, Moria and Glen are absolutely correct, regardless of what your doctor believes. Some mercury toxic people definitely have bad reactions to chlorella and cilantro. I know because I am one of them. Thought I was gonna die. Not necessary to discuss the issue to death though, because you can try them and see if you have a reaction or not. Someone told me that only about 30% do, so if that's true, the odds are in your favor ...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 > Did your doctor happen to tell you that most sources of chlorella are contaminated with mercury, because it does attract it so well? If you are going to take chlorella, be sure it is mercury free. Besides sending it to a lab for testing (impractical), how does one know if the chlorella is mercury-free?
