Well, I tried "aggressive" chelation, having intravenous DMPS followed by 50 grams of vitamin C each week for 3 weeks (on different days of the week so as not to conflict with the 7-day immune cycle).


My goodness, that looks like gentle chelation after what my Dr put me through.

I did not get sick from the chelation, ever. have only felt better.

My Dr however, and other Dr's I have spoken to, highly recommend combining chelators, eg; IV EDTA followed immediately by DMPS followed later in the day with a DMSA formula to wind down. I have also been using a powdered chlorella daily to help bind anything in the stomach. Keep in mind, each chelator binds a bit differently, acts in the body a bit differently, and if things are stirred up it's apparently good to bind it from a few different directions also. it has worked quite well for me.

I have never gotten a full 50 grams of Vit C, only 2 or 3 grams per chelation, they mix in right in with the EDTA. I generally only use 2000-3000 mgs/day C.

However, my Dr also supplements with mega IV vitamins after every 5 EDTA sessions. In fact a vitamin IV was my first IV, even prior to any EDTA. And I supplement more on my own also.

Maybe a major difference being that my Dr, though treating me for mercury poisoning, does not overlook the fact that I have other toxins besides mercury and insisted on 5 (2 per week) sessions of EDTA before he would even use the DMPS, except of course for the intial DMPS metal challenge testing, perhaps why I tolerated it better.

I did not have a yeast problem prior to being very poisoned with mercury. I have not acquired a yeast problem, perhaps started chelating in time.. perhaps also the EDTA helps in that area, the EDTA dissolves a lot of toxins aside from metals from what I understand. Or maybe the I grow in pots and chew on once in a while, maybe the echinacea I eat or make tea from once in a while, hard to say I guess but no yeast problem. Maybe the garlic...
