Hi, I just finished my second round of chelation. My chest is very tight.Sinch the mercury poisoning and doing a dose of EDTA I have had heart palpitations, now since DMSA I am having tightness in my chest. After my first round I was very healthy. I walked 2 hours a day for three days and sweated the excess mercury out. I took agenates and bentonite clay and after every walk took a hot clay bath.

This time I started doing the same, my second day I also did a far infra-red sauna, which helped! one clay bath and walk, which helped!

Then I had tightness in my chest all night. I happened to buy some chitosan because I read some guy's chealtion story where he took some sort of fat grabber after his dose cycles.

I took chitosan, it quickly and miraculously brought it down. But when I eat I get this tightness, burping. I feel like my heart has a ton of mercury and candida in it. I don't know what to do or what else to do. I can take the DMPS, will it help, or make the load heavier?

what is the removal rate for DMSA. I find it really loosens the mercury but getting it out seems to be another thing. I am obviously taking a longer break before my next dosing cycle, but I had felt so good after the first one, I couldn't wait to get on the next. But now I am concerned about my heart tightness.

Any thoughtful suggestions? Any similar/parallel experiences?

Some people have thought they were having a heart attack and had severe indigestion. Though I'm not stating that it isn't your heart, but just in case, it could be something else going on there.

I have had chest tightness. This was after an exposure to toxins via somebody's cigarette smoking. I really felt it was my heart, but I'm sure it was lungs and everything else involved where the toxins migrate to. I was frightened by the symptoms. I seriously felt pressure/tightness and difficultly breathing.

I'm not sure if I would use EDTA. I'd stick with the chelators that are more directed at mercury itself. How much DMSA are you using during a round if you don't mind me asking? And are you using it every 4 hours around the clock? It maybe acting on mercury that could well be in those areas. But I hope it is not mobilising it unnecessarily....so it's important to find out how you are dosing.

It will get the mercury out if it is used properly. If not, then it will drop the mercury elsewhere in the body. This has happened to me before and I wound up with mercury shunted into the gut areas (agony). I suffered months after this and thankfully treating candida helped reduce the pain and bloating/gas.

There maybe toxins in the areas that are causing pressure and build up of gas, so it makes your chest feel tight/constricted. I know that I often get a lot of gas build up around toxins (gut is one of them). It collects there. Candida also appears to thrive around injured areas or areas that have toxins collected, and then of course you get the gas from the candida toxins! So it's a difficult situation.

If you're not on a candida diet? I would suggest you do this to help reduce the toxins and the gases that are coming from them! This may take some of the load off you. If you already ARE on such a diet? This makes it somewhat confusing....I'd have to ask then how strict is the diet you are on? because even fruit intake and other high carbohyrdrates, may in some more severe candida cases be enough to still cause problems. Candida thrives on sugars/carbs of all kinds.

Is the DMPS you speak of in IV form or oral? And in what way would you take it? Cutler recommend oral DMPS taken every 6-8 hours around the clock. Other ways of taking such products can lead to further redistribution and problems!

I was watching Dr Beckers program yesterday and.. ((( Smiles )))

It was all about heart disease & the health of the heart.
And he said one of the things that can promote heart disease he talked about out of a list of is,
toxic metals as they bind to proteins enzymes & inflame arteries..

And the stomach can effect the heart & cause heart burn.
I constantly give my children VSL 3# from their MD..
Plus all sorts of other supplementation daily.
Been doing that for years but when my one daughter who is more heavly impacted was being chelated early on..
Her poop was comeing out a dark green plus like a darker lime looking green color plus sometimes red like clay..
Never seen poop that looked like that until I saw this guy on TV talking about toxins comeing out in poop and he had a picture of it and it was that strange green color..
With my higher functioning child it never looked like that.
She has only done it the rectal way.
It turned from that strange colored more solid poop to a more brown normal color but more mushy or diarrhea.
It's been a battle and she has been diagnosed as moderate/severe as a child before chelation therapy..
Dr Sinatra has a book called Reverse Heart Disease Now.
He's a nutrition-savvy cardiologist.
You may have already heard of him.
I agree with Bex it could be comeing from the Gut.
My children started with chelation by mouth but the doctor changed that as it can cause more problems yeast ect with the gut.
Going down that way..
This mercury stuff is such a mess on ones health and basic life functioning..
I could have done without all this in my life if I only new what was contained in thoses shots they had before they attended regular school..
Paying for it ever since.

I am on a candida diet. I am taking 12.5 mg of DMSA every four hours. I had stopped my vitamin c iintake of 4-7000 mg a day. I guess this reduces stomach acid and stresses the gall bladder. I had also done a coffee enema, which causes the gall bladder to contract. And I think I had some adredal stress from trying to walk 2 hours a day and having done (saunas far infra red.) I am wanting to do oral DMPS 10 -20 mg. Does it have a higher percentage of mercury removal? I had been eating rasberries and blueberries in a morning shake with coco-nut milk and oil (anti-candida, anti fungals) and I will eat a grapefruit on off days. But apparently grapefruit stresses the gall bladder. I am back on calcium, zinc and magnesium citrate 4000-7000 mg a day, I am doing dandilion root and staying away from coffee enemas and saunas. I need to deal with adrenal stress.

Regarding the candida diet, do you know a CAN DO candida diet. I have some. Apparently the gall bladder doesn't like animal fat and a vegetarian diet is better, but legumes are prohibited with the candida diet. I try to eat them with rice cooked in coco-nut oil (cpriolic acid) to keep the yeast down, but I am also told I can't eat soy beans... I eat fish, free range chicken cabbage beats (good for gall bladder)lots of red and green peppers, all organic and free range. I eat pototos and and squash for starch. I have done the elisa test and don't have siliacs. It stresses the kidneys to do a high protein, no starch diet, so I try to have some starch. I am very disciplined. I think I need to also deal with my adrenals. I do love walking, it lifts my spirits. It's a nice God time. The pain has subsided a lot since introducing dandilion root, already taking bile, milk thistle, and re-introducing vitamin C. I will avoid coffee enemas. I want to start the DMPS if it eliminates more mercury as I have some. Going to rest from chelating about 4 more days and see how I feel. Should I break longer? Please let me know.

Thanks for all your help veteran. are you in New Zealand? Hope you are making progress.

thanks Lynn. I think it is my gut. I think I will try my dosages rectally, but yeach!

Hi MercuringMe, (((( Smiles ))))

It's not all that hard..
There's alot of room up there as..
I insert it into my child's rectum all the time..
The other one does it on her own no problem..
But for my finger, ya yeach!
I use alot of water & soap after the procedure as well.
They have been doing it for years now.
Mostly just on the weekends..
While they build up with their supplements through the week and on the weekends as well..
It's a heavy duty scheduale but one I need to do for them.
Just had the IGeneX, INC Lyme testing done recently for one of them.
It was Inconclusive need to talk to her doctor about this.
If it not the gut it's always something else that needs to be fixed..
I just take it as it comes..

You Take Care
