help--newbie needs advice!

[Guest guest]

hi, i am currently being treated for systemic candida. my main symptoms were

multiple food intolerances/allergies with breathing/sinus pressure

reactions. i also had a few episodes of brain fog. also, reduced libido and

now my period has stopped for the last three months (after i went on the

specific carbohydrate diet and lost ~20lbs in a few months time). also, in

'86 i was diagnosed with crohns disease. my holistic md has treated me with

diflucan, amphotericin, vancocin and cipro.

then did a cupramine challenge test and found i had mercury and arsenic

poisoning. last weekend he had me take 2 pills of cupramine every 6 hours

for 2 days. then, 4 days later i was supposed to go on IV but i don't know

what he planned to administer. i got scared when i started to do a bit of

research the night before; hearing of all the dmps backfires. i cancelled my

appt. i tried to find out what he had planned to give me in the IV but he

refused to talk to me on the phone and his assistant said i had to come in

to discuss it. i have an appt this tuesday.

in the meantime, my stomach is now really bad. i had been doing great for a

couple of months with regular, normal bowel movements 2-3x day with no pain

or gas, etc. since friday night i have had gas and pain and a feeling of

constipation. i have still been going but my bowel movements are not normal,

they are a little strange. my stomach is upset and this morning i feel like

my kidneys might ache, but i'm not sure. at this point i have a lot of

anxiety and can't tell if it's the anxiety or real symptoms. i had a lot of

trouble sleeping and feel like my ability to breathe in deep has changed. i

did a lot of research last night, reading andy's protocol and dr

mercola's/dr klinghardt's. i currently have 5 mercury fillings.

based on what i read, i'm afraid that the cupramine has released mercury

into my system now, and that since i didn't take any chelating agent to

carry it out, it is now causing problems in my gut and possibly my kidneys.

am i jumping to conclusions too soon? is there anything i can do now to help

excrete the heavy metal that was mobilized by the cupramine? i was thinking

of going to a sauna---will that help? i welcome all advice from those who

have been through it or are going through chelation now. my doctor's

protocol is to have me take cupramine for 2 days, then give me IV (not sure

if he uses dmps, dmsa or edta), then a week off, then repeat. he estimated

20 sessions of IV treatment. he suggested i look into amalgam removal. when

i asked, he said they didn't need to be removed before chelating; that the

chelating agent only affected mercury in the tissues, not in the teeth.

specific questions i have:

since i already started moving heavy metals, would it be dangerous to

immediately start getting amalgams removed, or should i take dmps one time

to help move the metals already mobilized out of my system? if yes, should i

do the IV as my doctor wants, or take it orally?

thanks so much! julie
