Hi Linda, hopefully the DMSA will help you. It can sometimes suppress symptoms as its removing the mercury, so you may find it even makes you feel a bit better. but again it may not and you may get an aggravation as the toxins are removed.

It goes either way. Ive had both. Some notice improvements quite quickly with it for some reason, but the main thing is to get the mercury out in a manner that actually starts helping you feel better, rather than mobilising it everywhere and then leaving your body to deal with that at the sametime.

Im glad you are getting some and you dont have to do 3 days on 3 days off. You can do 3 days on and take a break for longer if you want. Like 3 days on 7 days off, or 3 days on 5 days off. Just so long as you take it for more than a day and your break is as long or longer than the time you spent on it.

In Andy's book he recommends one week on, one week off, but many find 3 days is more than enough for them because chelation can be pretty heavy going. But on the net he says that a person can do it in a way that suits them. E.g. if someone is working? They may like to chelate over the weekends and leave the working week free of chelation.

The main thing to it all is the continual dose of it when you're on it and making sure you keep to the every 4 hours and waking at night to take a dose too. Some people make the mistake of doing that during the day and thinking they can skip the night doses so they can sleep. Then go back to the protocol the next day. Not a wise move, because the inconsistant stopping and then starting again will increase the risk of moving mercury into worse areas, rather than escort it out. Just the way it works apparently.

Some people get away with anything because their system is far more adept at coping with and eliminating mercury.

Thanks also for your comments. I haven't tried to get any injection of anything into my ex wisdom tooth (cavitation sites). I wouldn't know how to get such a thing...and I dont enter a dental office unless I absolutely ahve to because I get poisoned by the vapor. So that makes it hard for me to do anythign dentally. I pretty much have to avoid it.

But I can get gum treatment with an irrigator which I have used to inject the solution into the gum, which I could do on the cavitation areas, but I doubt it would penetrate enough and dont know if the stuff would be powerful enough....though it does contain colloidal silver and other things. Supposed to be for gum disease, so maybe it would help..problem too is expense. Ive just bought myself a load of supplements so sending out for this gum treatment is not cheap because when you get it, you see how tiny the bottles are (typical).

someone else suggested food grade hydrogen peroxide to inject in there, but I do not know enough about it, so wonder if that would be safe? and would that be effective?

Well DMSA is used on children and claimed to almost as safe as water (I doubt that). But certainly I am very chemically sensitive and react terribly to drugs, but to this I did not. For me at a few stages it was a literal life saver. Though it hurt me very badly onetime when I skipped a dose and redistributed mercury. But the thing is, it wasn't hte DMSA itself, it was the mercury (which has happened with other things too like a garlic supplement). So I got terrible pain in the gut from that (which I get with almost anything I do slightly wrong, so there is a bad weakness there). But the yeast diet helped me get past that.

I'm so sorry to hear on top of this, what the medication did to you and how that has also impacted your life (and strained your marriage). i have heard of that before and to be honest, I was put on medication and I had the same thing but I was not on it for long enough and it was antidepressants.

The lady who is responsible for the diet I am on (Bee, who has a website) believes that her diet and the fats can allow the body to heal from just about anything and she said that even past injuries can begin to heal. So perhaps in time things will improve for you, but also when you are sick the body tends to shut that area down more so that it can concentrate on other things it needs to focus on. I can understand that because that other area isn't exaclty life and death ...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> although for some people it probably is. And in honestly it is devastating but I hope that sometime, somehow that will return.

Ok, the supplemetns I am taking? The halibut oil is more powerful in vitamin A than cod liver oil, but does not have quite the vitamin D content that cod liver oil has. But it is still very good apparently. I am taking 1 or 2 caps a day, 145 mg in one capsule of halibut oil.

The fish oil I take is Omega 3 by Nordic Naturals and one cap contains 1000 mg of purified fish oil. IT says EPA - weight 300 mg and volume - 18% and the DHA - weight 220 mg and volume - 12%. So not sure exactly how good that is, but just typing out what it states.

I have not really taken colloidal silver as a supplement or anything. Andy does not seem to recommend this in mercury toxicity...not sure why.
