Hi Linda,. When you stop a round of chelation, apparently you can be hit by symptoms even worse. The body continues to do its thing, even after you've stopped the chelation. Detoxing is still going on, but the re-absorption of mercury as well, until the next round.

That is definitely redistribution symptoms and they are not avoidable. andy speaks of this too and it's one of those things. He advises breaks because of the need to catch up on sleep, and the body simply needing a break from the continual stuff going into the system. Ideally you would never stop chelating, but one cannot really do that, unless they are taking DMPS orally. And that is only because it can be taken every 6-8 hours. So it can be kept going.

For me, I had worsening during the round sometimes and other times improvement during the round and worsening after I stopped it. I never knew what I would get, but there is no real prediction as to what the mercury is doing and the way it's moving and the reabsorption of it. Some is removed, the rest gets absorbed again. But in the meantime I guess it would be free floating once you stop chelating and the symptoms would feel much worse with it still circulating around your body with no more chelating agents to grip onto it.

This really makes me feel that it must be mercury in you, because how else would these effects happen? It just confirms it.

Linda, the pictures? I don't know how to post them on here either. I have tried and I'm STUMPED. The only thing I can post are those instant cartoony emoticon things below here that you just click on. But as for posting proper pics? I have no idea.
