Yes I can understand you remaining where you are. It's hard to move out of that if you hit on something that works and probably not advisable given the dodgy alternatives...if nothing was working and you were in a chronic state, that would be different.

Well the Cutler protocol is designed for after amalgam removal, so it's hard to say what effect it might have with in place amalgams. Andy would not advise it of course and would take no responsibiity for those that decide to do so because he doesn't recommend doing this.

The doctor/specialist you had obviously has a method of doing these things that worked. Combination of stuff perhaps... it's good that you saw other people obviously benefitting from it at that clinic. I've heard DMPS IV can be great or horrendous. But a doctor in US (Paula Bickle) giving a conference on mercury toxicity to other doctors was so furious with what many doctors were doing with this to patients that it was actually banned for a while. She had gotten it back in again and almost made herself bankrupt trying to do it. She pleaded with her doctor audience to PLEASE follow the proper guidelines. She was well aware of the damage it could do....yet she praised it to the hilt if done correctly...so maybe your doctor did things carefully adn the right way.

I'm scared off by it, had it done by a doctor who obviously coudln't give a monkeys. Apparently did mercury chelation (qualfiied doctor) and in I went. Thinking I was going to come out of this better off <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/amen.gif" alt="" />.....this was a DMPS challenge test (bad move apparently) well I came out of it different alright. I was a total and utter basketcase following it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shiftyeyes.gif" alt="" /> He gave me a load of it at onetime.

It had the effect of erupting so much mercury everywhere that you cannot imagine the results - extensive metal rashes covering me from head to toe (looked like a freak anytime I heated up). This went on for years, not to mention severe ongoing detox effects that I simply had no control over.

Being ill is one thing and not pleasant and I was toxic before I went in, but this became out of control after that....so yeah I really didn't know what to do. And phoning him in tears didn't go down too well either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> He was actually angry and didn't want to know about my situation from then on.

But glad to hear you and others have had really good results, perhaps that could have been me had the doctor done it right!

Yes my ideal would have been to stick to natural methods to chelate and that's what I had tried to do, but it just mobiised mercury too wildly without control of any symptoms. Too much. Same with DMSA with anything other than the frequent dose style (even 50 mg once a day would finish me for the next week). I had to find something that stopped hurting me as much.

You are lucky yu have found something that works so well. I wish that for everybody. I have just ordered some more antioxidants and DMSA. Waste of time as the DMSA might be, I still feel the effects from the last dental visit and don't feel "right" at all. Kind of drugged and itching in the face. So in case, I"ll give it a go and then try the ALA later.

Do you find any improvement by the way on antioxidants with amalgams in place?
