You know what? It occurred to me this morning that the hand-lower limb extremity thing with mercury is being helped a lot by my use of cilantro. At least for me, I have been eating quite a bit of it. Just the other day for instance, I could feel a very strong sensation of mercury/whatever else is in there being released from the muscle along the outer side of my left hand, just below the pinky. It feels like a very cold drippy sensation, like cold water dripping on your skin. Whether or not that current movement out of my tissues is affected by my prior use of the EDTA/DMPS I am not sure, I do know I felt those sensations for the first time 3-4 months ago after my 3rd DMPS push. But I haven't had a DMPS push in several weeks now, and I started getting those same exact sensations now after about 10 days of really going at it with the cilantro pesto, during which time my DMSA use was minimal. It was because of those sensations though that I immediately reached for my DMSA to help make sure whatever was coming out got bound up and flushed out.

I typically get the cold drippy sensations in my legs, not my hands, and in my head. I was surprised to feel it so strongly in my hand the other day. And I am sure it is indicative of heavy metal being drawn out, not inward, because ot was after I started getting those sensations that my head started feeling whole lots better about 2-3 months ago too. Also, the skin around my fingernails was all ripped up for a long time from the mercury I guess (I've read that that is indicative of mercury poisoning in children especially) but it is almost back to normal, not from DMSA or IV chelation directly, which helped it a bit, but apparently from my heavy duty cilantro (pluis a little bit of DMSA) use of the past few weeks. So that's promising I think.
