After having all of my amalgam fillings removed several months ago, my health began to improve, a lot.
Now, in order to help remove mercury from my body, I take NSP's MSM.

When I started taking it a few weeks after the amalgam removal, I got very sick 4 days after starting and felt almost all the symptoms of mercury toxicity return.

Now, sulphur (MSM) is necessary for the removal of mercury from the body, but I now take 1/2 tablet 3 days a week. Otherwise, I can barely function.

Despite the discomfort, I'm very glad to have the symptoms return when I take MSM. To me, this tells me that it's doing its' job, which is, simply put, to enable cells to expel mercury.

I also take chlorella the same days I take MSM to bond to and help my body eliminate the mercury.

Just thought I'd post this so people can be aware and careful. MSM seems to do a great job, but you may want to spread your cleansing period over a longer period of time.

Russ,

I still have my amalgams and I have been under my doctor's intructions to take MSM twice a day. Even though I feel better than when I started in December 02 (with almost weekly vitamin c ivs and other supplements) my oxidative stress is wrose and the mercury in my blood is very high. too bad I didn't check for mercury before I started in Dec. 02.

Andy Culter is not too excited about MSM... I wonder if it's drawing the mercury out of my body and it's recirculating?

thanks.

Thanks for the input, Russ. Though I haven't yet reached the point of amalgam removal, let alone chelation, my head is in a whirl with all the chelation options - including homeopathy. I actually did the homeopathy route with a $500 "integrative" M.D. who put me on a series of silver-amalgam homeopathics taken at 15 second intervals (i.e. 2x - 15 sec. wait - 6x - 15 sec. wait - 90x - 15 sec. wait - 250x). For all I know, maybe it did actually chelate my mercury, though I can't know for sure.

As for what you said, it reminds me of what a segment of fibromyalgics have been saying upon taking Guaifenesin to rid their bodies of calcium phosphates. When they start feeling alot of pain, they know the gook is circulating & moving out of their system. As for myself, Guai never had that effect on me, despite my upping the dosage by degrees & strictly avoiding salicylates (the full 9 yards)

hi russ: I know that this is a very old posting ,but do remember what milligram the 1/2 tablet of msm was, I would like to start using it to chelate

I believe the tablets I was taking were 1500mg each.

thanks for the reply I am going to give it a shot ,my system can not handle dmsa right now so have to find alternatives to try to remove some of the mercury , I have started eating eggs again and have noticed my lower back and hip pain are getting better ,I stopped eating them for a while and noticed increased pain in those areas when sulfer was taken out of my diet ? ,do you or any one in the forum know how mercury interfers with sulfer in the body ? thanks again russ.

could not find 1500 mg capsules msm, only could find 1000 mg msm capsules , started 500 mg every other day early last week and have noticed a minor increase in symtoms ,but have also noticed that my lower back and joints feel much better ,just as long as something is improving I'll keep using it for now

well started to use 500 mg msm every other day about 1 month ago and It has helped with the joints ,but early last week started to feel minor detox symtoms, I found msm in the index of cutlers book and looked it up ,and found that cutler does not recomend it and also says that it can mobilize mercury in some people and does not nessarily remove it from the body like regular chelators do ,this would explain the detox symtoms I was getting , so will stop using it , do not want to go backwards , so just some info if someone is considering using msm in the future

thanks Mikey

I just recently went back on MSM after a 2month break. My doctor recommended 1500 mgs 3 x's day. That along with Sun Chorella and L-glutathione that had NAC mixed in it, on top of Metagencis "Adva Clear- Liver detox supplement" were too much. Now am on 500 mgs 3 x s day and 1 l-glutathione pill per day. Had to ix-snay the sun chlorella,we just dont get along. Noticed an energy difference with the MSM though. Need to find small doses of L-glut and NAC though, too "ampy" feeling.

I'm glad that you are doing good on it , I hope it keeps working for you
