Hello all,

My boyfriend is dealing with mercury toxicity, and I'm trying to research as much as possible to help him get better. We have been seeing an alternative medicine PA in NYC, and have not had much luck at all.

First we thought it was exposure to toxic mold, because he had lots of respiratory and neurological symptoms. But they had him do a urine challenge test with a high dose of DMSA which came back quite elevated. Then the doc put him on some supplements and Diflucan (anti-fungal) and had him take a large dose of DMSA once a week for two months. We went back after another challenge test to find the level was barely down at all!

The doctor then prescribed Chelex, which he took and started feeling worse, so we stopped that. He was also taking ALA without the DMSA, which we've since cut out as well. I've gotten Andy Cutler's book and am now trying to figure out the best dose and length of rounds to start with. He has no amalgams, just some other type of exposure, possibly fish-related...

It is really a tough and complex issue to deal with...we went through an emergency care center, an infectious disease specialist, and some expensive holistic MD prior to this doctor, and they all basically told him he was crazy and tried to prescribe him anti-anxiety meds and OTC allergy pills! GRRRRR!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! (Sorry about the long post...)

Welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear about the situation with you boyfriend, but you've come to the right place.

First, here's a link that explains the Cutler protocol for detoxing. Many people are finding that this is the best way to go:

Basically, it says to take DMSA every 4 hours. I started with 25mg and worked my way up.

You should not take ALA without DMSA, generally. It can cause horrible symptoms in people who are mercury toxic.

I now take 25mg of ALA with DMSA and I'm doing well.

DMSA is becoming regulated by the FDA, so it's going to get much harder to get shortly. If you're going to get it, you may want to call a supplier and see how long they will carry it.

Many chelation products are simply to harsh and can make people feel horrible. They should only be taken after another form of detox has been done for a while.

As for the source of mercury... I'll be very honest with you.

I had amalgam fillings and got very sick. I had them removed in 2000 and had a complete recovery. All symptoms vanished.

I had 4 1/2 years of blissful health and high energy.

This ended suddenly with the advent of chemtrail spraying on our area. When this spraying began, all my symptoms returned.

This fact combined with the fact that DMSA chelation is helping leads me to believe that chemtrails contain mercury. Testing has been done and shown several things, including aluminum, which makes mercury toxicity much more severe.

Almost everyone I've spoken with over the past year has high aluminum in their blood tests. You can take Malic acid to remove aluminum from the body.

If you're not familiar with this phenomenon, here are some links that will help:

I know this is a strange subject, but I've been observing it since our area began to get hit (2005) and it's very real.

Nevertheless, other sources of mercury should be avoided as well. Fish is very high in mercury (unfortunately). Tattoos also often contain heavy metals. Red inks in tattoos often contain mercury. Coal-burning power plants emit high amounts of mercury. Vaccines often contain a lot of mercury. (It has not been completely removed, as some people claim.)

I hope this helps.

If you have any more question, feel free to post them.
