Re: My chelation attempt

Well let me at least explain the situation with my metal better. We all know source, duration, severity have a lot to do with this etc. But what I will do for now on is dose every 2 hours, and then once in the night, and do that for 3 days and see how that goes.

First off, I have not had an active Amalgam or filling in my mouth in over 10 years. I have not just began a program out of the dead blue. I have been inadvertedly undergoing chelation and detoxification for over 3 years.

I lost 140 lbs through intense intermittent fasting and specialized dieting. I take a lot of herbs. That means redistribution HAS occured in me. The damage you fear I will do, I already HAVE done over time in some regards, unforuntately. I also think the overwhelming majority of metal toxicity I have is NOT mercury, and it is NOT from fillings.

This means something else is affecting me and retoxifying me, with multiple metals.

I just started ALA, and it is difficult to say what it is doing so before I can say things are getting a lot worse or better I am going to need some time.

Basically, what I discovered is that ALA has the strongest binding affinity for mercury, and it is alleged that these other compounds are less stable in their ability to sequester the metals into the ligand complexes.

I found this on an old thread posting-

Problem #1: Chelating should never be done when mercury (or the offending heavy metal) is still present in your dental Amalgams or in your environment. It will make you feel worse and you won't get anywhere. Removing your dental work (root canals) and your mercury fillings (using an IAOMT or Huggins trained dentist only) is the first step.

Problem #2: Cilantro, chlorella, NAC and one one thiol chelators should not be used as your first chelator. As explained in Cutler's book, they don't bind strongly enough to heavy metals and tend to redistrubute instead of eliminate heavy metals from the body.

Problem #3: ALA crosses the brain-blood barrier and should definitely NOT be used until mercury is clear in your blood (at least 4+ months after your fillings are removed and 3 months after you've been chelating with DMSA only). ALA will help you the most, WHEN YOUR BODY IS READY. The PROBLEM with ALA crossing the brain-blood barrier is that mercury goes both ways... if the rest of your body is still toxic with mercury, more mercury can actually go into your brain. Also, ALA should be used in conjunction with DMSA to minimize side effects and mercury distribution.

Problem #4: Chelation should be done in cycles (of 3-14 days). Chelation should not be done all of the time because it also depletes you of minerals your body needs. But it can't be done "here and there" because you promote mercury redistribution instead of elimination from your body."
