Re: Andreas, what do you suggest I take to start chelating mercury out- since my last two fillings will be coming out tomorrow.
Yikes,
I've always read that a person should wait until the amalgams are gone or risk leeching more mercury out of the amalgam and into the body. I know people want to act now, but I was so afraid of redistribution and an increase of then existing symptoms.
Last year in November I had 8 amalgams replaced. My neurological symptoms(ear ringing, eye twitching, numb fingertips)went away within a month, it might have been sooner but at about a month, I was watching tv and realized I hadn't experienced them recently. But the fatigue and brain fog persisted. But I felt better right away until about 6 months later.
I read in Andrew Cutler's book that this would happen so I decided I needed to chelate. I used Captomer by Thorne Labs (DMSA)in supplement form, and I began to chelate. I felt better on this although I didn't get much sleep and the weird thing was that I didn't feel the loss of sleep, only nothing to do while sleepless.
I did a couple of rounds of this but then I read about Cilantro. I found pros and cons of doing it and it was scary. One of the theories is that the mechanism by which Cilantro moves mercury is unknown and you might move more mercury than can be bound by the chlorella and then you would have moved mercury, only to redistribute it. One day I read Dr. Klinghardt's protocol and he said that if you steep cilantrol in a warm glass of water that you could feel the draining effects of it leaving the brain. So, one night I did this and I felt the drain and I immediately ran out and told my boyfriend, ask me anything, ask me anything. I hadn't felt that level of clarity and mental sharpness in so long. Unfortunately, the next day my sinuses were solidly congested (nope, no mucous in sight, just the turninates swollen). I researched in my yahoo support group and found that redistributed mercury could cause allergy problems.
But I found that the cilantro was powerful and I didn't want to abandon it. SO I started another round of Captomer (supplemental DMSA) and after a few doses, I took chlorella per DR. Klinghardts protocol, then 30 mins later as he says, I heated some water and dropped the Cilantro tincture in and took it. I did this a couple of times and I did some bowel cleansing and made sure I eliminated whatever was removed.
I would say I now feel at least 90% recovered and am trying to heal my body and build it up.
I hope this wasn't too much info.
Good luck.
(I hope Andreas doesn't mind if we just jump in)
