Benza,
I spent a good few thousand bucks chelating with an integrative med doctor, IV EDTA and DMPS, also an at home DMSA formula he gave me, and which I am able to order online alo (same formula) at healthmasters.com, the chelation therapy.
I do not think the oral chelators would have worked for me very well if I wasn't doing the IV chelation already. I was really sick, pretty much missed the whole skiing season over the winter and skiing is one of my absolutely favorite pastimes. So... I was really sick. Gosh, even I love to chop firewood, great for my back muscles which will get real stiff from sitting at a desk too much, and I could barely lift the axe.
I have been working a lot in the garden lately though so I am feeling rather back to normal for the most part... haven't attempted chopping wood for a full hour yet though.
Now, I rarely use even the DMSA formula anymore, am no longer seeing the doctor... I make a pesto with cilantro and basil and garlic fresh from the garden that does the trick for me. I eat that maybe 3-4 times a week and am hoping I can lessen my metals substanstially before winter comes. If winter comes and I start getting all achy I will head back to the doctor for EDTA/DMPS. My cilantro is real fresh and no chems, I sort of fear buying anything of that nature from the grocery store hoping it will help me when I feel lousy. That hasn't been my experience in regard to most grocery store veggies, which always have something sprayed on them. So I do the work and grow my own and feel real good about it, in more ways than one.
If I didn't have the garden I might still be sick. I bottled about 100 items for winter too so we're in pretty good shape here.
I had rough grey patches on my ankle that disappeared after only about 2 or 3 of the IV EDTA sessions. My feet have not been doing the painful cramp up thing lately either.
This:
my head hurts like a racy, cold, electricity
..is probably mercury, I know I experienced a lot of that when I was real sick this past winter, never felt before in my life. It's gone now.
But this:
during the day on a bad day i will have a movie image of an event i wish i made a different decision on, and it will play for hours, so clear vivid and loud, its almost real, and i go into this virtual reality world, and i say to my mind STOP, and it keeps intruding on me and i can't. i feel i hate myself, but there is no reason, i feel guilty, ABSOLUTE REGRET, all my good memories are painful reminders of how i feel in the now.
...my personal feeling from a Christian perspective, is that you have a spiritual something going on there... something in your subconscious you need to forgive for or ask forgiveness for. people without mercury poisoning experience the same thing. If that were me I would think the Lord was trying to tell me something in a way my ignorant self might comprehend.
