Hi all, I have done 31 rounds now of dmsa and Im up to 75 mgs with ALA every 31/2 to 4 hrs, 3-4 days a week. Then I stop for 4days. I began 7 months ago after waiting 3 months post amalgam removal. I was able to very slowly go off my anti dep med and am off 50% but it has taken me 7 months. I am unable to go farther as I tried last month and it was soooo bad. Jan 1st I did do a partial fast for 21 days to detox and only ate fruits, veggies, beans, lentils, ultra meal (protein powder mix low glycemic) soup, seeds and nuts. I struggled but I noticed my headaches went away. I made it through and lost 7 lbs. Yay! Well I am off the fast now and I notice almost everything I eat seems to irritate me. Headaches, brain fog, fatigue, depression and on it goes. Im trying to stick with meat, eggs, esekial tortillas, brown rice, butter, protein shakes fruits and veggies. Its OK but any time I go out Oh man I suffer terribly! I had panda express, with 1/2 veggies, 1/2 chow mein and some plain mandarin chicken w/ no sauce. 20-30 after I eat I am depressed and have a terrible headache.
I realize I may have numerous food sensitivities but my options are limited and Im tired of lentil and vegie soup! Im beginning to wonder if this DMSA has helped me at all. What is my problem? Food or merc toxicity? This really sucks and Im so frustrated as I have dumped so much time and $ into these cutler protocols. Plase help me if anyone has a clue, thank you! Diane
