Re: Starting Chelation(andy cutler protocol)!

I'm not surprised about the tightness in your back if you were not taking magnesium as Cutler strongly recommends. I mentioned it in my previous post.

Chris Shade of Quicksilver has some youtube videos. You'll see from them that everyone makes some mistakes along with way. Even people with PhD in chemistry don't think this through carefully before jumping in.

Andy Cutler talks about his early mistakes in some of his yahoo group posts.

However we should learn from their mistakes and be more prepared.

You might check out Cutler's audio interview with J Davidson.

The Files section of yahoo's frequent dose chelation group has fairly simple tips for using DMSA.

Honestly unless you know you have mostly a lead problem I'd use DMPS. Cutler says most people can take it every 6-8 hrs. It often has a smoother feel to it--fewer side effects--however a few people get a rash and so cant take it.

My understanding is that Haley's OSR was just renamed, has been in testing in Europe for a few years. I don't think it is a true "chelator" that helps the body to get rid of heavy metals. I think it is an antioxidant like selenium that binds rather tightly with HMs so they don't do so much damage.

When I was considering options for my HM problem--mostly work related lead and cadmium--OSR was still available. I decided to start with the chelators with a longer track record--DMSA--along with ALA to remove mercury from the brain--when used correctly! After a year of that I would reevaluate my situation and possibly try OSR.

I did well on DMSA + ALA during my first 1.5 yrs and so did not experiment with OSR. My bone density and kidney blood tests normalized. I got a number of less impressive gains--improved food sensitivities , no eye floaters, improved mood, memory, endurance, less introverted personality, etc.

Some people in yahoo's adult metal chelation have tried Quicksilver's products. Again these are relatively new. I'd give the well estabilshed methods a try first--DMPS, DMSA-- and let them get rid of most of the HMs before resorting to one of the newer products.

If you use ALA to try to move mercury out of your brain, be sure to use it frequently enough and after getting rid of HMs in your silver fillings, etc.

Again the FDC group files simplify the instructions and gives you another place to ask questions. There is a Cutler group in Facebook as well.
