Hi, mercury removal exacerbated my symptoms and then later to the extreme as the stored mercury began to leak back out and repoison me.

I used many things to try and get that mercury out, but often caused myself intolerable symptoms and back-fire effects and was often much worse, but desperate to remove more metals. I guess it did over the long term, but I feel it was risky.

I then used DMSA (cutler style) and made more progress and it was much safer, and more tolerable. I did start eventually to feel normal again, my old self. Much healthier and it showed on the outside too. Almost a transformation I'd say, both inside and out. I did not really use ALA, as the DMSA by itself did a lot to help me get back much health and also at the time, i was still experiencing symptoms so I knew it was still chelating mercury.

Later everything changed after viral/bacterial infection and wisdom tooth removal and I've been ill ever since. Rather mysterious too. Sadly chelation no longer has any real effect on me either. My system does not tend to respond to detoxes, though diet at least eventually controls the worst of my symptoms it does not cure me. Neither does any cleanse I have used, or any homeopathy etc. I believe my immunity is under continual strain and I also feel I may have cavitations too.

Even Hal Huggins explains cavitations as being worse than mercury and how even the most marathon efforts of cleanses/detoxes will often bring little to no results. This is because it's a form of gangrene and is there 24/7. If that's what I am suffering alongside the virus, it makes perfect sense what Hal says. Even with mercury poisoning, glandular fever etc, I ALWAYS made progress with dietry efforts, chelation and cleanses. not so these days.

At any rate, chelation did indeed start to cure me from mercury poisoning. It definitely does work, but progress may not be seen for sometime. You usually gets major ups and downs and it's ongoing until enough mercury has gone so your body starts healing properly and you notice the results. This may take a few years, or it may happen sooner.
