Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hey guys, So far I've done 7 saunas for about 25-30 minutes each.. Have felt fine, but the symptom of warm rush feelings on my skin, (mostly bottom of heel and certain parts on thigh, which started with the ALA) have not gone away. Now two questions.. 1. i know SAUNA is the same as DMPS or DMSA, but will a sauna take longer to chelate mercury than if i were using the oral chelators? 2. at what point should i consider that whatever the ALA did to cause this nerve problems, will only be correctable by using ALA again? which scares me because i reacted to badly to ALA the first time, namely insanely allergic to foods and feeling like death... even though the dose was high 25mg, i really want to avoid taking that, at least for a while.. thanks in advance for the imput. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to find the dose that is right for you. If you are afraid of ALA, start with DMSA or DMPS at a 5 mg dose. Surely you would be able to try a 5 mg dose? And make sure that you have read through " Amalgam Illness " and " Hair Test Interpretation " so that you understand what problems go along with mercury poisoning, what the essential supplements are that you are taking ??, and how to address other problems. When I first tried chelation at 25 mg DMSA I scared myself silly and wouldn't chelate again for almost a year. It was a year of lost time. When I did try chelation again I found that I could handle 18 mg per dose, and I chelated for over a year at that dose.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 , Thanks for the replies. The reason for me not getting DMSA and DMPS is because i seem to have some of my food allergies in check (for now), and i'm going to start that job in january like i mentioned to you before.. so i really don't want to start taking DMSA and DMPS and have it hit me hard and not be able to do my job... that's why i've been hesitant to start. Also, when i do start oral chelation again, I want to do DMPS like you said, because i can take it every 8 hours.... but its proving really really really hard to find a doc to give it to me... i just went to a doc and she did a blood test... yes a blood test to look for mercury after i told her about how i felt after too high a dose of ALA.. in short she has no clue.. so not sure how to get that DMPS. also , i was curious, if someone has a very fast metabolism, does that affect the half-life of the chelator? thanks scott <lindajaytee@...> wrote: > > Hey guys, > > So far I've done 7 saunas for about 25-30 minutes each..

From what I have observed from people talking on these groups, the range is not large for DMSA, ALA, and DMPS. It seems to be the ones with poor liver function who need to shorten the dosing interval. Andy would be the one to ask.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I have an appointment on the 27th with the doc who prescribed the dmps.. and i'm going to ask them about getting me 25mg tablets of it again.. hopefully she will listen to what happened with me on the ALA, and not say NO, based on my recent hair test which showed normal mercury levels with no counting rules... so we'll see. Whos in Seattle? Is it worth going up there? Reason i ask about half life is because my liver got screwed up from a liver flush a while back... pretty sure its back to normal but i dont know.. plus my metabolism is really fast, naturally thin guy who eats a lot to keep weight on. Thanks for the help scott ps. i'm doing a parasite test, and for some reason, i do have something (pathogens or something) possibly causing the leaky gut, is it wise to chelate the mercury first, or kill the bugs first? thought i'd ask if you knew. thanks again <lindajaytee@...> wrote: > > , > > Thanks for the replies. > > The reason for me not getting DMSA and DMPS is because i seem to have some of my food allergies in check (for now), and i'm going to start that job in january like i mentioned to you before.. so i really don't want to start taking DMSA and DMPS and have it hit me hard If you start taking the supporting supplements, I suspect that a round of 5 mg DMSA won't hit you so hard.

You could easily split that to 5 mg doses, or 12.5 mg doses. Perhaps you could simplify everything for her and only tell her that you get side effects with chelation which means that the chelators are moving metals. Some one who is not toxic shouldn't get side effects with chelation. Good luck. > Whos in Seattle? Is it worth going up there? > is in Seattle. She is a nurse practitioner who is probably the person who has the most experience with guiding patients through Andy's protocol and correcting the problems that mercury causes through diet, supplements, Rx medications. > Reason i ask about half life is because my liver got screwed up from a liver flush a while back... pretty sure its back to normal but i dont know.. plus my metabolism is really fast, naturally thin guy who eats a lot to keep weight on. > > Thanks for the help > scott > > ps. i'm doing a parasite test, and for some reason, i do have something (pathogens or something) possibly causing the leaky gut, is it wise to chelate the mercury first, or kill the bugs first? thought i'd ask if you knew. > You would want to start on chelation using Andy's protocol fairly soon because your immune system won't be able to defend you until you get a certain amount of the metals out. You need to know what kind of pathogens you have before you start treating them. That's one area where you would need to consult with someone like who could run the appropriate tests. Too many people are treating pathogens that they think they have but have not had proper testing. Too many people think that pathogens are responsible for symptoms that they may not be causing.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 , For ... does she do phone consultations if i'm unable to make it up to Seatle? If she does, do you happen to know how much she charges, or if she has a contact number i could reach her at to ask her these questions? If so that would be great.. because i would rather have someon overseeing what i'm doing, and frankly the doctor who prescribed DMPS really doesn't know as much about chelation, so she wouldn't be able to offer me anything really in that area. As for pathogens, parasites, if i have a persisted leaky gut/food allergies, is it " likely " i have someone living in me? Obviously this would be due to the improper chelation i did before? or simply because of mercury in the body? If you could let me know that'd be great.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 , Many people believe that in order to get this stuff out of the brain you have to use ALA. Do the Saunas for awhile to help with body burden, then start with teeny amounts of ALA, every three hours around the clock. (Some people have done 21/2 and found that to be better.) Use lots of supplements, especially high doses of Vit C to minimize your symptoms. Barb [ ] DMPS vs Sauna,... does it take longer? , , others? Hey guys, So far I've done 7 saunas for about 25-30 minutes each.. Have felt fine, but the symptom of warm rush feelings on my skin, (mostly bottom of heel and certain parts on thigh, which started with the ALA) have not gone away.
