Re: amalgam/mercury poisoning
In my experience with chelation so far DMPS and DMSA hit the mercury the best.IV chelation is harsh,but it works.You might wanna get in a sauna or put on some detox foot pads after doing IV chelation.You don't want the metal to be reabsorbed and that's why you need to get it out through your skin.Their's only so many times you can go to the bathroom.Those detox foot pads really do work.When I'm having horrific detox reactions I just put those on, the toxins start going in the pads and I feel better.I have problems like acid reflux when Im detoxing, and it goes away when I put the pads on to get the toxins out of my body.Another product I use in a similar fashion is PCA RX.PCA RX engulfs the toxins and protects me from the detox reactions.These products detoxify mercury in their own right, but they also help with detox reactions from DMPS and DMSA.Some people say IV chelation is too harsh and to use to the Andy Cutler method.As long as your digestive system is in order, and you are able to absorb the chelator this method is fine.The only form of chlorella that worked for me was NDF.I've never tried clay baths, but I've heard from reliable sources that they are effective.My advice to you is to use all the products.Before you start I think you should support yourself nutritionally with something like Life Extention MIX,Life Extention Super Booster, and Vitamineral Green.Oh yeah, mercury inhibits the enzymes that are responsible for detoxification and makes you succeptible to accumulating other metals like lead,uranium,cadmium,and arsenic.Test for mercury with an IV DMPS challenge and test for lead and cadmium with an IV EDTA challenge.Sometimes,the metal shows up in a hair mineral analysis.Test with both methods.Sometimes, the metal doesn't show up the first times you do the IV chelation challenge. So do it multiple times.I'd suggest finding a DAN doctor or doing the Amy Yasko protocol.The chelators,foot pads, pca rx and all this stuff are great ,but doing the Dan or Yasko protocol will help your body naturally detoxify, repair damage the mercury did, and allow the chelators to work much better.For perfect health you need to detox the mercury and fix the damage it did with one or even a combo of these protocols.
