>Are you using DSMA and EDTA with amalgams still in?? According to Andy Cutler, that's really dangerous.

Yup, have to. My knowledge of mercury poisoning prior to this incident was near to null and void... I went to a dentist to get a crown for a chipped tooth with an old amalgam filling and he essentially ripped it down and washed it down my throat.

I feel much better Blicero, I probably would have died if it weren't for the great doctor I found to help me, I was in really bad shape. I can at least run again by now without all my bones aching, my hands are no longer numb, my kidneys have stopped aching.

I know all the things people say but obviously they are wrong.

>Also, even with amalgam out, using DMSA the way you're using it is very dangerous according to Cutler.

I disagree with Cutler. If I do not take the DMSA my hands start getting numb again, my neck gets very stiff, other stuff. And also, though I was unaware of how devastating the mercury posioning could be prior to this, I have chelated and cleansed for many years here and there, always with success and my health normally is excellent. I have been an organic food nut suince my mid-20's, have always eaten copious amounts of garlic with hommus and lamb chops, have used cilantro and spirulina for years, etc etc etc. all of these things which I do attribute my normally good health to and not vice versa.

It does not make sense to me to allow things like free mercury to sail through my bloodstream and take hold, it does make sense to use whatever means I can to flush it out out of myssystem asap, amalgams or no amalgams.

The longer a heavy metal stays within your body, the longer it will take you to recover because those metals are starving your body of oxygen and other nutrients. I don need permanet damage, thanks, but I will chelate whether Andy Cutler agres with it or not. I have 3 very well qualified doctors in agreement on this for me, helping me with this. Far as I know Culter also reccomends large amounts of ALA, and I saw a thread where someone was asking about constipation as a result... yes I too experienced constipation with the ALA when I took it too so I stay away from that. took me 3 days to get moving again last time. Now, THAT is dangerous when your body is loaded with heavy metals. I prefer my doctor's 30 years of experience with this and his advice to Cultler's any day.

hey I hear you are feeling better, congratulations again.
