Why AC Protocol.....

[Guest guest]

Here is just one of many, many posts on why the ac protocol is considered so

very important here. elizabeth

There are always risks associated with chelation because what we are trying to

move out are highly toxic substances like mercury. The risk comes from the toxic

substance.

Andy's protocol comes with the least risk of any because the properties of the

chelators are taken into account. It is impossible to emphasize enough how

important it is to take the chelators at intervals at the HALF LIFE OR LESS (3 h

for ALA, 4 h for DMSA, 8 h for DMPS). By so doing the blood levels of chelators

remain fairly constant and there is little risk of redistribution during a

round. When doses are taken at anything longer than the half life (every other

protocol) there is redistribution with every dose. ***It is the lack of

redistribution during a round that makes Andy's protocol the safest and the

redistribution with every dose that makes every other protocol dangerous.***

Another feature that make Andy's protocol safe is that the smallest dose of

chelator is used with each dose to move metal with a minimal amount of damage.

If the person is having side effects that are more than a bit of fatigue the day

after the round they are to LOWER THE DOSE. That way ***the right dose is found

for the person*** and the person can chelate comfortably. By chelating

comfortably it means that there the body can keep up to the healing that is

needed. On other protocols usually doses much higher than those required are

used and the extreme side effects that people report are indicative of extreme

damage that is difficult to repair.

Andy has also made ***supplement and diet recommendations*** that will help to

provide the essential nutrients the body needs to heal.

> Do you know if people using this protocol cannot be harmed by it

I have been reading chelation group archives since 2004. The majority of people

using Andy's protocol report progress. Some who have problems are either not

interpreting the protocol correctly, need to lower the chelator dose, or need to

address some problem area that has been damaged by the metals.

The issues will be minimal with Andy's protocol. It IS important to educate

yourself as much as possible so that the protocol is interpreted correctly,

support is given where needed, and problems are addressed correctly when they

arise.

Diet is great to heal the body. The natural excretion process will never in a

million years remove the amounts of metals that most of us have been exposed to.

Once a person reaches a certain level of toxicity the presence of the mercury

prevents natural excretion from happening at all. Clearance from the brain is

almost non existent, and the brain mercury is what causes a lot of problems.

Diet strategies are great to use to support chelation. There may be some people

who notice huge symptom improvement with diet. In most cases the metals will

come back to haunt them later if they are not chelated out properly.

A simple test to see if chelation is necessary is to chelate with Andy's

protocol (as long as all mercury amalgam fillings have been removed). Side

effects or improvement with chelation means that chelation is needed. A number

of rounds are needed to give the test a fair chance, and if there are no side

effects at low doses the test is repeated at the high end of the dose range.
