Put it this way Jinx, if you're not coping and unable to even go forward with amalgam removal, I don't know what else you can do. Yes having less amalgams is obviously safer than having more. Though I see the caution of strength above, I am beginning to doubt the "never chelate with amalgams" idea.

You are swallowing DMSA and then from there will eventually be released into your blood stream. As it is not sitting your oral cavity, It is unlikely to do much to the amalgam mercury in your oral area, rather it will be working on the mercury in your blood stream.

Here is someone else's comments on another forum about this very problem. I will put it in quotes

"Many believe mistakenly that it will draw more Hg (mercury) from the amalgams and deposit it in the brain and organs causing more damage. However, since chelation is conducted on the blood, which isn't in contact with the amalgams in the mouth, your chelant would not further extract mercury from the amalgams in your mouth. The real reason is that if you are trying to remove mercury from your body, the blood is a first step; but if you don't remove the source of the contamination, then after chelation, through normal chewing and tooth usage, the mercury will re-enter and defeat the purpose of the chelation in the first place.

Suppose amalgams can not be removed for a few years. Yes, it is most important to remove the source of mercury, but why EXACTLY should one have to wait until after the amalgams are removed?"


Remember too, there are both sides of this. Some professionals do chelate their patients with amalgams in, some do not and say it shoudln't be done. I figure that it depends on the patient and whether they find it works for them. I am beginning to have trouble believing that a chelator that isn't even in the oral environment could actually be pulling more out of the amalgams..... To me it doesn't quite add up. Ideally yes the amalgams need to go, to turn the tap of contamination off, but my view on chelating with amalgams is starting to change.

The mercury is coming off your amalgams 24/7, if there is DMSA floating around your bloodstream, it will be grabbing onto mercury as it's on its way out of your system. So the continual release of mercury at least will have some DMSA in the system to grab onto it.

The key to this is the temporary help that you "might" have some chance to control "Some" symptoms in the meantime and actually begin to aid your body in reducing some of the mercury going into your blood. We both know you've been through utter hell and can hardly function let alone even consider more amalgam removals as you told us you cannot go through more, you are so poisoned and dysfunctional.

So let us consider this. A lady on here is chelating with amalgams, she can now get to a point where she can do the rest of her removals. She was so sick without chelation, she coudln't even consider it. Now? She has reached a point where she can now go through with amalgam removal, becuase she is chelating. If she stops chelating her symptoms return veryquickly as the mercury from amalgams just fills the blood right back up again!

So there are most definitely both sides to this issue. I personally am beginning to think that it makes no sense to not chelate to some extent with amalgams, as chelation is NOT in the mouth. It is in the blood, and that is where everybody MUST start removing mercury. THat is the place DMSA starts removing mercury and that is the areas that need cleaning up first and reducing. From there, one can later go onto heavier duty chelators.

Of course, to have a constant tap running of mercury from your amalgams 24.7 is not what you want either. But we are talking about this temporarily chelation that might actually help your body in possibly eliminating some as it's being constantly poisoned at the sametime.

If the body is unable to eliminate some of the mercury it is being poisoned with, the person ceases to cope. It is easy to say "go have the amalgams out", but Jinx has already explained to us here that the last amalgam removal he had devastated him so badly, that this is why he's this much worse. HE was flooded with it in my opinion, so what on earth is he supposed to do?

Most of us do not get help, we end up having to almost do something ourselves, as most health professionals argue permanently on what shuld be done, but nobody really agrees on anything. So much of this ends up being down to almost self experimentation because even the mercury experts cant get it straight.

I put my money mostly on Andrew Cutler for chelation, but even then some people have had to modify it to suit themselves and lower the dose etc. He thinks peopel should not chelate with amalgams, yet leaving them in a poisoned stupor to where amalgam removal cannot even be considered in their state, is not an option either. If you have some people who have improved from chelating with amalgams, they should also be listened to and if that offers some hope to Jinx that he might too find that could help him, why should he then not try this? NOthing else is helping the guy.

I dont' want to gamble with your health either Jinx, and maknig you worse at this point is unthinkable. So you can see it is very hard to know what to suggest to someone in this positon. But in your condition with no way to even get more amalgams out, I do not see much other options to try. IF this in anyway, does "something" for you, or gets you into some condition where you find you are finally able to remove the last remaining amalgams, it may be worth it. If however you feel things getting worse? then please stop.

But once again, as you are not under the guidance of a professional in this, you are listening to an amateur that is simply passing on suggestions, coming from an unqualified position. But as you can see, even the qualified are arguing and contradicting on the very same issues. We are all like piggies in the middle, taking chances and hoping we might hit the jackpot.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I feel this is a very serious issue.
