Today is my first day of being amalgam free - at least half a day starting at 12:30. I can't say I feel anything dramatic but a huge burden of relief. I can now Really begin my healing journey. My mouth is sore way sore. I have had 2 at a time taken out until today I said just do the last 4. I was tired of charcoal, IV vit C (at $90 a pop), and mega doses of B1 & B6 - which helps with dental pain and inflammation. It really helps I took about 350 mg of each 1 hour before and 2 hours after and then throughout the next couple of days - it's like apsirin. I can already smell the mercury in my urine and sweat - I smell horrible (my sweat that is) and my urine is so toxic! That is a good thing - my urine never really smelled. So now rest for the next couple of days and enjoy my new mouth. I will keep you posted of my chelation journey. Thanks for listening!

Hi mercuryfreeme, congratulations to you!!!! Wonderful news and I hope you had a good protected removal. Sounds to me like something is already happening with your body. Post removal results in stored mercury being dumped back out, which is why people can often feel much worse (which goes up and down. Roller coaster ride as is often referred to).

I found the most powerful supplementary helps were vitamin C powder (with bioflavanoids), vitamin E and selenium.....though you can take much more than that, they, at that time, were very powerful and often I had to start lower on them because of it. I chelated the mercury out by Cutler's protocol for the most part, as I couldn't handle the wild unpredictable stirring up of the mercury by other means. Cutler's kept things more even, safe and effective. But what suits one, may not always suit another. You'll figure out ways to get the mercury out of you and by your own reactions.

Hot baths with epsom salts (or sea salt and baking soda) are excellent and aid the release of metals via the skin. One cup of each will usually suffice (or a bit more).

Diet is very important. Candida can be a terrible curse and can cause many symptoms blamed on mercury. mercury maybe the cause of the yeast, but it may not be causing all the symptoms. The results of mercury are usually the problem. So cutting out sugars, wheat/gluten and perhaps even reducing or eliminating even high carbohydrate foods maybe necessary in order to aid/control symptoms and keep a person sane. This needs to be done strictly and completely, as cheating will usually cause relapse. Takes a few weeks to notice improvements and in that time, more detoxing often takes place. So you can feel wose intiially (headaches etc). As toxins are loosened and yeast overgrowth begins to die off.

Whatever works for you.

Oh and exercise is very powerful to help eliminate metals from your body. I found walking (I used a treadmill) EXCELLENT (you can also get a rebounder - mini trampoline, as this is also wonderful) and I believe that was also a big part of my healing, including antioxidants, diet, hot baths, and proper chelation.

Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the advice - I think I am on the right road. I always say God has the best timing - my sucks. I found out I had mercury poisoning from an alternative doctor who I went to see for daily headaches and nausea. The nausea was aweful! He does prolotherapy, which is an injection into tender spots and inducing healing. Well I had several injections but wasn't getting much better so he decided to do a heavy metal test (using DMPS challenge). I was not well educated on the topic (which I would consider myself now well educated). So I went along with the protocal - which I mentioned in another posting. IV DMPS weekly, sauna weekly, oral DMSA 250 mg, TYler Mercury toxicity formula and a detox kit. I was okay at first until the redistribution happened and I thought I was going to lose my mind. I stopped everything and researched it - I still had my fillings in. I questioned him and being a doctor gave me a doctor response "well it works for my other patients". I am not typical - they may not be as poisoned as me ( I had a 46).

So, I went and got all of my fillings out. Started vitamins beforehand - vit c, vit, E, vit D, mag, zinc, molybdedum, B100, selenium, chromium, and probably some others - you know how the brain is with mercury. Yeast is a problem - I take garlic and probiotics and oil of oregano. I don't eat any sugar and am gluten free. I go the sauna at least once a week - probably will increase soon but didn't want to do too much too soon. Hot baths with epsom and baking soda twice a week. Castor oil packs several times a week and rub into liver daily. I also use cocount oil every other day - rub all over skin wait 20 minutes and rinse off in shower. It is good for yeast - learned that from ayurvedia doctor last year. I also just odered SF-722 - will use alternately with oil of oregano. You have to rotate antifungals because your body gets used to them.

I will definetly use Cutler's method and I will start out with 6 mg - I ordered 25 and split them into 4 tablets as equally as possible. I am very sensitive to meds so I want to start small - I can always add more the next round or after that. It will be a process I know that and am prepared for it. I am so ready to be healthy. I also want to prove to those who doubt this diagnosis - it is right. My family I think doubts it because they have heard so many diagnoses over the years that this just seems like one more. This forum has become my biggest support. Thanks!

I am so excited for you! I hope your chelation and recovery go well.

Why not drink the coconut oil? I think it works best that way, rather than just spreading it on your skin. I have been thinking about adding coconut oil to my regimen. I was feeling rather uncomfortable recently and added grapefruit seed extract back to my regimen. Perhaps in the past I was having side effects from it because I took too much? Now I am just using 10 drops at a time mixed in a cup of water (the recommended dosage is 5-15 drops) 3 or 4 times a day. it seems to be helping me. I am also using several other antifungals as well. I guess the best idea is to use a few different ones, and not overload on any single one.

I have some grapefruit seed extract, too. ACKK. Sorry, but how could you down coconut oil???

Bex, do you have an opinion of Bio-chelate?

Hi Jeanie, No. I'm not familiar with Bio-chelate. Sorry, I wish I could give you more info. I have tried a few things when I was mercury toxic and I believe that "Heels" detox kit was pretty potent, if one wishes to try something more natural, rather than take chelating drugs like DMSA. However, it can still provoke powerful metal symptoms and one would also need to take caution.

It stimulates the elimination organs, plus helps rid the body of metals at the sametime. Potent stuff, may need to be taken in a reduced dose and for less time, depending on how much and how long a person can handle it. I use to take it and then take breaks and try again.

Great stuff though if one wishes to do it that way. Homeopathic Heels detox kit.

HI mercuryfreeme,

Sounds to me like you're doing much to help yourself and I wish you all the best. You're treating candida, on a good diet, and you're right, God does have the best timing

Cutler's protocol is definitely an excellent choice and hopefully you'll respond well to it. Good going on starting at a low dose, no need to rush this too mcuh, more harm can be done with rushing. Going slow and steady is a good method, not so slow to where you barely feel a thing, but not enough to where you're finding it intolerable. Just enough to sense the stuff is being moved/removed, but so you can still somehow keep functioning.

take care

Thanks Bex...I think I will try something for natural. I'll check out the Heel's. I think homeopathy is good. I found a website on the bio-chelate and it sounded good... I just don't have the strength to do the round the clock chelating and I'm leery of doing it any other way. I need to get some other issues under control first.

Congratulations! I hope your chelation goes well that you see some huge improvements in your health.

All the best,
Cara

Thanks everyone for the support. Bex - I'm with you on the Heels detox kit. I took it when I was first chelating with a holisitic doc (the one who overchelated me with fillings in)and it is good stuff. I was horrible nausea and had the runs for 3 days (I'm sure a healing crisis)but then woke up feeling great on day #3. It may be good to do in between rounds of chelation. I decided to try a parasite cleanse before I start chelation. I'm using the half dose since it is my first cleanse and I just got out my amalgams so I don't want to overdo it. I have one side of my mouth that still hurts - only when I eat and appply pressure. I'm worried that a tooth may have not survived the refilling. Last night it was horrible pain and I actually had to resort to aspirin. I feel asleep with the ice pack on and woke up fine. Didn't eat yet today - almost afraid to. I hate the fact that everything revolves around how I feel too - did you ever realize that it's all we can think about? Always wondering what is working and what's not - it's so overwhelming. I just wish one day I would wake up and not have to think about it all. Just live and be free of the burden of it all. I guess perserverance will get up to that point. We can't give up now - at least we know what the problem is not it is just tackling it - sounds easier than it is. Right now as I type this I can smell myself reeking (sp?) of garlic. I have noticed since removal that I sweat a ton more and I urinate more. Nothing else major YET.

That's right - the Heels supports all the eliminative organs? I'll look it up. The Bio-Chelate is a very dilute EDTA.

HI mercuryfree, oh yes, I'd say it was a healing crisis and you were probably on too much. I could only handle about 6 drops or so, even less sometimes, as the symptoms would hit me usually after a few days and wham. I'd be beseiged by healing crisis and I would have to stop and let my body catch up.

I am certain this was part of my healing from mercury also, as well as Cutlers. It helped too with the heavy duty chelating with the DMSA, as I felt the homeopathy from time to time was good for my body to also get rid of any drug residue or side effects too. It's good for ALL toxins, not just metals.

I have used it a few times to get me out of some acute toxic situations and it's worked pretty well.

Sick people are overly concerned with their health, just as you said. You think about it so much because you're not healthy enough to 'forget'. It's there constantly. I live with it and do my best to live around it and though it gets me down, I find that the diet etc eventually helps to some extent, but it only goes so far as I'm dealing with an ongoing condition (viral I believe).

Mercury at least could be detoxed! Keeping toxic load to a minimim is necessary regardless, as it does help to 'some" extent to take extra load off my system.
