Hi birdlady,

I think you are doing alot for yourself. The hair falling out could well have been triggered by the mercury, hence worsening from removal/exposure and chelation. I'm amazed at your positivity and I know these things do happen to people, but I really do hope that there will be a regeneration. The body is a strange thing and we're all affected differently and to different degrees, even by the same toxin sometimes. I don't underestimate it's healing ability, but I'm also well aware that if the source and underlying condition is not removed, then it maybe unrealistic until that is done.

The fact you had a slight improvement after EDTA, also tells me it could WELL be metal related and then the relapse after the dental appointment is indicative of mercury also....so you could be onto the real culprit here, but why your body has decided to react this way to it is the mystery and seems unique, but that happens. My way of responding was bizzare. Screaming fits, salivating uncontrollably and crying non stop, with swelling in the eyes from so much crying and pressure. That's not all either. Very strange stuff. My face would take on a pulled in appearance (drawn), my tongue swelled up and all kinds of funny and weird things occured. That is how my body responded to mercury and why I would spend hours holding my head over a bowl or toilet. Very very strange, very rare apparently, and that's just the response my system had. It just went NUTS. So imagine what happened when I would increase this by using mobilising agents? YIKES.

Not always able to be explained. So what is happening to you, maybe your body's response, which seems also unusual.
Good attitude though! Yes, wigs are amazing today. Considering we're all going to go grey anyway, if that ever did become the case for you (needing a wig), you'd never need to dye your hair....small comfort I guess, but at least you still see other alternatives if the worst ever did happen to come to the worst. I think there are also methods of replacing hair strand by strand? It is done in this country in new zealand apparently.

I still hope for regeneration personally. And I think it's wise of you to avoid places that are doom and gloom and concentrate on your health. I know it's painful regarding your hair, but your health is THE main importance and there isn't much you can do for the hair right now. It's like myselef, there are aspects not always in my control, so I look at what I can control and do what I feel I need to do. The diet is somethign I can control, so I am very strict on that, as I'm desperate to control the worse of my symptoms and that is probably all I have to lean upon (apart from my faith).

Hmmm, the health adviser sounds very anti Cutler....perhaps you ought to not mention him and simply ask for liver/kidney support. They may have other really good suggestions too. Are probably very up in natural health and this maybe also why they are against Cutler's methods, which are more medication related. I can understand their view of this, I really can. But they have to also understand the nature of mercury and WHY Cutler uses what he does and in the way he does, for many of us could not tolerate the mercury, OR the movement of it with any other way of detoxing. I nearly went insane a few times I kid you not. So though no it's not ideal to resort to any drug solution, but mercury isnot something one fools out with half heartedly either. Mercury doesn't differentiate between what you use. It can be volatile regardless and the side effects are mostly due to mercury, rather than DMSA. I tried natural methods, and often moved between his protocol and experimenting....I got hurt alot. I think his protocol kept things far more stable. I'm not ignoring the good of natural products either, they do indeed have their place and if a person can respond well to them with mercury and that's the way they want to go and it works, great. If not and they are noticing frightening symptoms by the mobilisation of it and no control? Then like myself, they will require a well thought out protocol with strong agents that grip the mercury enough not to let it go so readily.
