I can't quite figure out how infrared saunas would make a person permanently worse....whoever Andy is talking about, may have become MUCH worse after its use, because they brought forth too much mercury that was in tight storage. That can occur and some can be ill for months or even years after. Because the dumping of mercury is going to happen anyway and when the dumping starts, unless there is active chelation, the person is going to feel MUCH worse and long term too.

I wonder if that's what Andy is referring to. Once you erupt enough mercury, you can be so ill that you can be almost bedridden. Stored mercury aint fun, erupted dumping mercury isn't either. Which is worse? Perhaps the dumping....yet at least it means it's coming back out. However, the symptoms are not suppressed (unless frequent chelation suppresses them and not everybdy has that happen).

I have heard of a person using the product NDF and doing ok, until oneday it just erupted too much mercury and perhaps caused redistribution and she was bedridden from them on for a LONGGGGG time. Very ill, but slowly coming right apparently. NDF was blamed....however, again, this is what also happens when something triggers an eruption of stored mercury (even the natural dumping stage itself can do the same).

So I'm just not sure whether his statement of permanently worse can be applied in every case, since for me? Once I started dumping stored mercury I DID get (what I thought) was permanently worse. Yet it was only the storage erupting out into my system and making me permanently symptomatic until enough of that mercury had been removed.

Until that happens? You will often be beseiged by symptoms because as soon as you clear some of that mercury? More is building up in you from leaking out of the storage areas. So it's ONGOING (roller coaster ride as some describe it). A DMPS IV triggered it to REALLY break forth in me as it erupted a massive storage of it and I was as sick as a dog. Yet before that? I could feel that it was leaking out slowly, and I was very sickly but the DMPS just brought it forth like some kind of explosion.

And I was pretty much living a nightmare after that Of putting up with mercury then coming out onto my skin when I heated up. I'd cry, salivate, yell etc. My body was forced now into excreting what the DMPS had erupted out of storage. Not fun, but it did really start it off. And that's when I had a couple of years or so of misery as the mercury was coming out of me almost daily.

When you've had mercury building up in your system from many years of amalgams? Then it's not surprising that a person has years of storage and may take a few years to reduce it enough to start feeling relatively human again. I don't know about permanent damage, but I can see how long term worsening can occur for sure.

Permanent damage I think is from organ damage and I really do not know how common that is. The body has amazing repair ability if given time and good food etc, but there maybe some cases of it happening and would that eventually come right?

However, years of mercury poisoning in itself may cause some permanent damage in some people - it's possible. Even when I reduced the mercury and felt so much better, I always had to be somewhat careful on the diet. Which might have been because there was still some remaining mercury, OR my immune system was just not quite the same from a lifetime of poisoning....
