I will try to keep this short.In Oct 05 I began a diet were I ate a can of Tuna 4 lunch 5 days a week and grilled salmon 3 to 4 nights a week.I also have 13 mercury fillings.After 6 months i noticed my riht hand would turn red when in hot weather lowered down.In March of this year I done a heavy metal detox that I bought from Dr.Nature which had EDTA and NAC in it.AT the end of this 30 day my keet began to turn red and burn badley to the point could not stand,palms of hands the same burning.lost 35lbs in 5 weeks while eating everything,all muscle mass gone.All hair on legs gone,tounge coated with yeast.

Hi Lawdog and welcome to the forum.

That is a lot of tuna and then a load of detoxing that likely made things worse.

Yes, I’d say the detox protocol you used helped make things worse. You should ask on Yahoo FDC they will have a much better idea than me, but EDTA and NAC is not ideal for some people. It stirs up the mercury, moves it around but doesn’t excrete from your body properly.

And you still got you’re amalgams in too.

First things first….no more metal detox. You should not attempt any while you still have 13 in your mouth. Thats means no edta, nac, dmsa, dpms, ala. Nothing.

Second thing second….Have you heard of, or bought, Andy Cutlers book “Amalgam Illness” ? If not go online and buy it straight away. You can get it on this forum or direct from Andy himself.

You will be able to self diagnose mercury poisoning. It is packed full of mercury information and just as importantly packed full of information that should enable you to support all the rest of your body’s organs.

Unfortunetly finding a doctor to help in these matters is …remote….so you got to be yr own doctor and buying that book will be the best $35 bucks you will spend all year.

The good news is that you have figured out why you got sick, that mercury could well be cause, many many people will never ever figure it out, so congratulations to you.

Good luck lawman, ask lots of questions and read as much as possible.

Herewith some safe removal protocols

It does not matter how little money you have, under no circumstances whatsoever must you get your amalgams replaced without a safe protocol with rubber dam and oxygen as per the protocols above.

Amalgam removal without protection is like crossing a motorway blindfolded, it is bound to hurt like hell.

lawdog welcome to the forum: think of the bodies normal detox pathways as a highway or freeway ,when we are healthy, this is when all traffic is flowing smoothly ,with no problems all toxins exit the body pretty quickly ,

now add some more traffic or toxins on the freeway and toxins start to back up alittle bit , this is when we start to notice little problems or symtoms , the body can not remove the toxins as fast as before

now add even more traffic or toxins to the free way and all hell breaks loose , gridlock of toxins and all detox path ways are moving very slow , meanwhile the toxins are starting to poison every organ that it come in contact with , at this point is when most people become very scared are desperate and know that something is very wrong , and seek out medical help ,the bad news is that most doctors don't have a clue on how to cure you , they will prescibe anti-depressants , thyroid meds, or some other drug that may help for a short while , but not actually fixing the problem in the first place

here is the good news , you came to the right place to cure yourself , I sounds like you are mercury poisoned as are many on this forum , very good thinking on your part to have the amalgams removed that is the most important part of the process as mentioned before get yourself a copy of the book " amagam illness " andy cutler knows alot about this condition and has cured himself through his protocols and is helping many of us on the forum

Good analogy Mikey….i like it.

Thats what I got! All my organs are compromised due to mercury. Which is why every organ needs support.

My shoulders hurt like hell these days!

Hey Guys
Was a good way to explain it all. I am right there with ya on that. My shoulders hurt too but not as bad as my legs, right one especially. Don't know what the problem is maybe poor circulation. Was hoping it would go away by now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/reallymad.gif" alt="" />
Rachel

Thanks for the advice.As I sit here with my leg elavated due to the pain in my feet,I began to doubt if it is already to late for the damage to repair itself.All the doctors say they have not a clue.Want me to go to Mayo Clinc but I know that will be the same.Has anyone completlly recovered frpm this.Also any tips for helping constpation because that is how it all started.
Thanks

No no no. its not too late. Loads and load of people have cured themselves. It is difficult and takes a long time, but each time I make a step forwards, each time I get a little better, I know I’m doing the right thing.

Seriously, buy that book. it explains it all. it explains how to get better and what else needs taking care of. It is an amazing book. one of the most important things about it is the realisation that you are not alone, this $hit happens all the time, all the suffering you going through are symptoms of amalgam illness. It is curable.

The detox protocol is actually very simple, its just that there is so much conflicting advise out there it is difficult to know which is correct and which will hurt like hell.

To avoid the hurt like hell bits……read “amalgam Illness” by Andy Cutler.

And ask lots of questions, someone somewhere will know the answer and asking questions will stop you hurting yourself.

Constipation: my top tip is Drink 2 liters of water per day.

Milk Thistle 750
Whey Protein
Ground Flax seed
100 oz of water
Any thing else I should and should not take until removel in Jan.
Thanks In Advance

Yeah Lawdog. I understand. I been where you are at. It’s a bloody ‘mare

These are the Cutler chelation protocol General supplements that you can take without hesitation, they will all help you feel better :

If/when u introduce them, they should be done one at a time, starting low dose until you reach the require dosage. If nothing bad happens get going on the next you fancy trying out.

This is my current supplement program:

Looking at your supplements…if u still feeling rough…ramp up the VIT C. move up slowly until bowel tolerance, then go down a bit until bowels normal. I take minimum 6grams per day.

Your water intake is quality! So many people don’t drink enough. It makes a massive difference to your health. Have you considered adding sea salt or rock salt? Himalayan rock salt is really good.

I used to get burning feet. I remember it quite well when I had amalgams. I am sure i've heard this as one of the symptoms. Certainly it mentions burning sensations in different areas of the body (even the throat). Ever had the sensation of a burning spark/ember at the back of your mouth?

I would add selenium and vitamin E to your regime, because you will need loads of antioxidants. Mercury deplets them dramatically to a devastating degree. If you handle whey protein? That is great, because it increases glutathione. Though in some it can increase mercury symptoms too much.

OTher than that? I am unsure of what else you could add because it's so individual. Russ mentions algin as being a great asset, because it can mop up mercury it comes into contact with and is especially helpful when you still have amaglams and/or you eat seafood!

Diet is very important and without a good diet, some of these things may not be very effective. Hal Huggins mentions that diet can destroy more recoveries than anything else!

No sugar, no gluten grains (especially wheat), no milk (interfers with the detox of mercury), and making sure you get enough protein from eggs and meat and increasing healthy fat intake like butter, lard, extra virgin olive oil, fish oil (mercury free). They all aid brain healing and hormones, plus increasing bile production, good for the skin, cells, etc.

Definitely don't do any low fat/no fat diets, they are very bad, especially if you are poisoned. Take a look into the findings of Dr Weston Price
http://www.westonaprice.org/splash_2.htm
http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library/price/pricetoc.html

Spot on Bex.

Diet is one of the most important things to get right. We are all different.
I am fine (now anyway) with wheat. I cannot handle any sulphur foods and that includes eggs, garlic, onions, leeks, beans….

Everyone if different on diets

Western Price makes good good sense to me. my diet is based around his work.

Pleanty of fats is good for me. I am very under weight.

So I can add Selenium before removel?
I Take Vit c in pill form,Is powered Buffered Better?
Cant wait to get the merc removed.I know I done this to myself with the high fish intake for over a year along with the fillings.Then to top it off the EDTA and WAM.I just pray everyday that this damage is reversable.
You all are great for the response.
I am going to call my Dentist today and try to find a good doctor to assit in the post removel.

Yes, you can add selenium before removal. All those supplements I quoted above you can start before removal. Just go slow slow to make sure no adverse reactions.

Vit c – I don’t know which is better.

Don’t beat yourself up (too much) about the fish. I did the same. I had a difficult diet and I ate Japanese food 2-3 times a week for at least one year. $hit happens. Need to look forwards not backwards…..

The damage is reversible if you follow a safe protocol.

Doctors…..ummmmm……good luck. I will say from my own experience that you are wasting your time, but you may find someone, if you are lucky. Good luck. The only doctor that will be acceptable is a doctor that is aware of the Cutler chelation protocol, or one that is willing to read his book and then help you follow his protocol. These guys are few and far between.

The help my doctors have given me either hurt like hell or they told me I was not ill, there was nothing wrong and to go home, relax and enjoy my good health.

Seriously…you need to be yr own doctor. Did u buy the book yet?

Even more seriously if your chosen doc gives you something to do, try, read, experiment with….make sure you ask someone here if its ok. Someone somewhere will know if its any good or if it screws people up. The more you follow these mercury forums the more you see the trouble people get into by following crap advice from doctors. I speak from painful experience. Looking at your posts, I see you too have already found this out with the metal detox.Don’t let it happen again!

Doctors with no mercury experience cannot be trusted.

I concur with Sunshine about the general futility of doctors. At one stage in my treatment odyssey I went to an alternative doctor who fully recognised mercury toxicity and used vitamin infusions as the mainstay of his treatment protocol. I thought I was hooked up to a magnesium and Vit C IV, when in fact it was about a litre of alpha lipoic acid!! This gave me severe visual disturbances, a big headache and, later that day and all night, gut cramps like I have never experienced before. This was BEFORE I read Amalgam Illness. I would have run a million miles if I had known what was going on. I think I got off lightly.

All that, and I got to pay 1000 euros for the treatment too. Don't go anywhere near doctors. Read Amalgam Illness, educate yourself, get the amalgams removed and start on the DMSA. This is the safest thing you can do. I think I have heard of one person reacting badly to DMSA. I have read of countless people being hurt by chlorella, NDF, PCA etc etc.

best
