Hi Benza,

Yes hindsight is a good (but painful) thing. However, it's not so much hindsight over the mercury stuff as such, as I was healing well from it, (with culter's protocol after messing around with other stuff that hurt me alot) but more to do with infections that came later and I think could have been avoided if I had not messed around with an eye cosmetic. Didn't figure it would happen, and got an eye infection very serious, which spread into the rest of my body (and brain) certainly would never have envisioned it would do worse to me even than the amalgam, but it did and has. Just goes to show, if you have a system that has been poisoned by mercury for years...you can be much more suseptible to things like this happening. Even if you feel much better as I did, you're far from "immune". That plus possible jawbone gangrene/infection from possible cavitation. But that too is hard to diagnose. So nothing is "absolute".

So what I deal with now, so far, has been permanent. But I do enjoy getting on these forums anyway and to be honest, even if I was well.....I think I'd still remain on here I like it and I'm so used to being here, I can't imagine leaving permanently.

So I stick around (inbetween doing other stuff).

I do sympathise with you a lot regarding the time factor of being poisoned, even after amalgams have been removed. It takes long enough to get better with chelation, so imagine how look it takes with none? You may never get there, if you have mercury in the brain. Only chelation appears to remedy that (brain chelators like ALA). However, wise to begin with DMSA first and see how you go.

I hope you can perhaps get low dose DMSA, so you do not have to split them up too much. That can get annoying! It depends on how low a dose you require. You maybe lucky and might get away with larger doses than others. But it's wise to start low and check for reactions. Do not increase the dose during the chelation round, as this can upset the blood levels of the DMSA and make it spike up suddenly, which can cause the mercury to be moved in a simlar manner. You want to keep the doses the same, and even throughout the round and take them every 4 hours (and during the night) to keep everything even.
