Re: Metachel--Thanks Andy and Moria

[Guest guest]

Thanks Andy and Moria. I called Cardiovascular Research and I reported to

A-M-C the " hairball-keratin " example given to me on the phone. I asked

Cardiovascular Research to send the research they told me they had. Yesterday

I received their catalog in the mail, and the same stuff that appears on the

net regarding Metachel. No research on Metachel at all. The net does list the

ingredients, but that is about it. I would not take it myself because it

contains carrot fiber, which does speed up phase I. So for me the product has

always been " out. "

I really found nothing substantial when I looked for keratin research and I

posted what I found to AMC. Due to my insufficient background in science and

chemistry, I think that I did begin to wonder if Metachel might assist in

some degree to chelate mercury. I am glad that Andy Cutler was kind enough to

comment on this subject, because from time to time product manufacturers make

claims the majority of us cannot refute.

Doctors who have not been properly trained may make honest mistakes. Amalgam

Illness has created an awkward transitional situation for patients and

physicians.

Research trials were not used on Metachel to my knowledge. CR and EF reported

verbally that " existing research " was used to develop the product. I think

the logic might sound good to uneducated doctors and patients. I consider

myself an uneducated patient because I did not go to medical school, etc. I

am trying to learn, however.

Many of us are searching for answers.

Moria Merriwether set up this site, and for that I feel that I owe my

improved health. Cutler himself has transcended the ADA's ineptitude, greed,

indifference, and he has done much of the work the FDA should have been

doing. His work has changed the course of my illness.

I believe the Cutler book, Cutler protocol and Cutler responses are as far as

I personally need to look. I posted all the research I could locate (even

half-asleep cow teat stuff 8-) and I was hopeful that the product Metachel

might work to some degree as a possible " assist " . I now believe that spending

money on it would be wasted money. I have spent alot of time and alot of

money on unrecognized Amalgam Illness. The money best spent has been to

purchase Cutler's book.

The protocol that is working for me is the Cutler protocol. I have doubled my

activities, and now I am beginning to be less chemically sensitive. I do get

very tired if I go significantly outside the now-larger box, but I do not

relapse after activity. I have been mercury free and chelating properly only

since May and I continue to maintain the ability to do some actitivities each

day that I could not do last year. Previous to finding Moria and Cutler, I

had a hopeless condition.

Again the protocol that I have used is to remove all amalgam in fillings,

under crowns or in root canal tips, use IV's of C is you can after amalgam

removals; ok if you cannot, use the supplement protocol in Cutler's book,

begin using DMSA four days after ALL fillings are out, and use that for about

90 (?) days. ALA can be used at that time, and then ALA may be used alone in

rounds, or used in rounds with DMPS oral, which must be obtained using

script. DMSA oral can be bought from vrp.com. Initial symptoms are not fun,

but the party seems to begin a few months later when many people recognize

that their CFS, MCS, FM, ME have improved. For me, the improvement is already

substantial.

We are very fortunate to have Andy Cutler answer these important questions

regarding products from companies such as Cardiovascular Research or

Ecological Formulas, for example. These companies sell stuff that does work

within the Cutler protocol of supplements, so we have to research what we are

taking. If one needs to find various forms of vitamin C, one from tapioca,

one from some other source, these companies do provide that, for example.

They sell other stuff you might use in the Cutler compliment of supplements.

But everything they sell does not do what they suggest that it might do.

Spending time and money with fillings still in place continues illness, and

also continues the AMA charade that amalgams render mercury " inert. " You

can't get well if you don't get em out.

More of us need to get well with the Cutler research and begin to contact the

FDA regarding our illnesses and improvements.

I don't mind looking stuff up on the internet, but that is going to amount to

" stuff found on the internet. " I recognize that we should all thank Andy

ocassionally for answering questions that come up.

I want to keep an open mind, but I continue to think that going to

noamalgam.com, buying and following Cutler's book is the most sensible thing

to do. At my current rate of improvement I think I will be almost well as I

would have been without the fillings, (minus the autoimmune component that

caused arthritic damage at age 19 and many lost years) once I have completed

two years of the protocol.

Thanks again Andy and Moria. SJ
