Re: Chelation complications
"I was taking 10mg of DMPS but now I'm taking only 5mg.
== I don't expect you to tolerate 5mg either unless you were not taking nearly enough antioxidants--Vit C & E.
"I take a buffered Vit c powered that is 2grams a shot.
== I use buffered C as well. Cutler often says 1-2 g with each meal and before bed. You are fortunate to tolerate it.
== Don't forget to take vitamin e or other lipid soluble antioxidant. It makes my head clearer while on round when I take more generous doses.
"But do you see this a lot with people who never had amalgams?
== Occasionally, but not often. There are those who had exposure at work. I'm an example of that. Others might have broken a Hg thermometer in the carpet like the woman whose hair test is below.
== the people who struggle with your list of symptoms often have MCS. They struggle to take more than tiny amounts of chelators and lots of other things that would normally be beneficial.
== This is an example; however, I can't say I can expect this type of improvement from middle aged folks in only a few years of detox.

== Several of the mods of the yahoo frequent dose chelation group either have or had suffered from MCS. Your situation is fairly similar to Josette--France L, although she was once sicker than you. I'm sure she'll be happy to chat with you. There are plenty of other members there who struggle with various sensitivities. You just have a larger list of them than most.
"I'm also in the process of ordering some adrenal cortex also.
== Thorne's has a good reputation for those with MSC. That won't likely be enough if you really need HC medication but it is a good place to start. As you know I also really like pregnenolone as part of the adrenal support combo.
== You'll need plenty of liver support I suppose. Don't be fooled into thinking that the liver is just a group of pipes that need cleaning. While they may need cleaning, the liver is more like a chemical factory. It has pipes but also many chemical processes. Heavy metals mess up those in various ways. This is a very complex subject. There's more in FDC for you about it.
== I'm sure life seems terrible, but sadly, it can get worse. You are wise to be addressing it now. We've come across some sad cases.
== Be careful, be patient. Play it safe. Try to get as much professional support as you can. Many people that sick seem to benefit from some mood related medication for a time. Finding one that the people with MCS can tolerate can be challenging but a number of FDC group members have been there and can share tips with you. You can then discuss those with your doctor.
== I'll try to look for your posts so you'll have someone to chat with about it.
