Re: Brain-only mercury?

[Guest guest]

You do a trial with ala and see if it creates symptoms.

Keep in mind that some people's hair tests do not meet counting rules

until after they have done some rounds. So, if that person has known

mercury exposure through vaccination, metal fillings, or a lot of fish

etc....it's worth trying some ala. Not meeting rules does not always

mean there is no mercury in the body or brain. It depends what other

things you see on the hair test. What does aluminum, tin, silver and

antimony look like? What is lithium look like? Are there indicators

for adrenal fatigue (which would point to mercury in the body)? etc.

Basically, ala is an antioxidant and if you have no brain Hg, it will

do nothing to you. If you do, you will either see side effects when

you take it or feel better.

Dear and group:

I and other family members have tried a few different fancy formulas, and it

never worked out. We would feel better for a few days, but then get worse.

I guess I just feel uncomfortable with already-made formulas. I think

herbs, vitamins, and minerals should be more tailored to the person. It just

seems like everytime we have used an already-made formula, some things in it

helped us, and some things in it made us worse. Thus, I am at the current

belief

that for long-term, only multivitamin and multimineral formulas close to the

RDA should be used, and then add additional herbs, vitamins, and minerals

for each's needs. We all wish we could take one pill or one formula and get

better, but I just haven't seen that yet. That's why we are all spending years

to get " cured " . Its a journey, but it sure is worth it. I had my fillings

removed, 13 of them, and it is just part of the journey. I didn't want to of

course; I thought surely I could do things to make me well without amalgam

removal. But I took some herbal chelation concoction, and it make my teeth

hurt, and I started getting worse. That convinced me that I really couldn't.

I stubbornly learned that it is a journey, a lot of work, a lot of research,

a lot of money, and a lot of time. But, the miracles that we have had have

been worth it all, of course, and they started immediately. My current

outlook is that I am now happy knowing how to get better, even if it is a

journey.

At least now I have the knowledge; whereas before, I was like the majority

of the population, living in pessimism as if my children could never be

" normal " . Those days are gone, they are going to regular school now. They are

not cured, but they are stable on supplements, and I do believe I can get them

" cured " to the point that only an occasional treatment will be necessary.

Knowledge is power. And faith will give you the motivation to proceed.

Thank you, Jan for responding. The reason I'm asking is I have 4

amalgams. My hair test didn't meet counting rules (but is just one

away from rule 2 - so I still don't meet them). It also doesn't

indicate adrenal fatigue (although I do have it). The mercury is

low and the aluminum is in the yellow almost to the red (but I had

been taking Tums for a few days, just a few days before I cut my

hair (and then there's deodorant). And arsenic is mid-yellow (we

had high arsenic in our water that was finally removed over a year

ago). Plus yesterday I went to a naturopath, and he did a

biofeedback test using the Phazx Bodyscan 2010. Found all of my

imbalances. He prescribed me some homeopathic remedies and other

supplements to help restore homeostasis. One of the supplements is

Intra-Max, one of those organic, expensive, complex all-in-one

liquid supplements. But it has ALA in it (25 mg). We didn't

discuss my amalgams. I need to call him back Monday (not in office

today) before I start taking that. Would this not be safe to take

while I still have amalgams?

Thank you,

Thanks, Heidi, for your reply. I understand completely (I need to

get mine out). Was wondering if when you took the herbal chelating

concoction and your teeth hurt, was it all of your teeth, or just

the ones with fillings (well, I guess you had 13 fillings, so that's

much of your whole mouth)? Did you follow Andy's protocol following

the amalgam removal right away? How long did it take you to get 13

fillings removed? Did you get symptoms?

Thanks!

The fillings hurt. I just used a regular dentist who was experienced with

amalgam removal, but would not take the extra precautions everyone recommends.

He told me, " I don't use that stuff (safety precautions like dammers and

oxygen) because I just don't " . Well, I am sure it was not the best thing to

do, but I didn't know how to find a good dentist at the time. And I would have

had to drive a couple of hours at least to find one. Anyhow, yes I think I

am worse for it, but I am on supplements Without them, I would be in

trouble, and I will be doing Andy's chelation protocol soon. I have been doing

much research and have been visiting this board as part of that, and I now feel

that Andy gets my vote for chelation. I got the fillings out, one quandrant

at a time. Thus, I did that part correctly. Its been about 4 months since

my last removal. They say symptoms peak at about 3 months after removal and

then start decreasing. Well, that is me. But remember, I am on supplements

to keep the symptoms at bay. I guess I would recommend to you to chelate

much quicker with the DMSA than I am doing. I wanted to do research first.

Well, my current research and experiential knowledge is to take nutritional

supplements to stabilize symptoms, but then chelate for the cure. Because

after

a year of being pretty much symptom-free, I am my ASD children, the symptoms

still return when the supplements stop. Thus, the toxins must come out, or I

may have to be on these things forever, and I am pretty much sick of dishing

out pills 3 times a day. But it is nice living without those horrible

symptoms, so its worth it.

Thank you for that, Heidi. I wish you well. Would you mind telling

me which supplements are working for you?
