Do you have any proof that you really have an infection? I don't doubt that you feel awful but how do you know that it's not just mercury in your brain?


I know this is not mercury because when I got mercury poisoned - probably being poisoned already- 2 years ago at the dental office which started this nigtmare i continually kept getting worse. so even 6 months after last exposure and getting all the amalgams out my dementia kept going. just conenctions shutting down. if this was from mercury in my brain there would have to be continoues supply of mercury to my brain, and there were no amagams anymroe, 6 months after exposure so where would all the mercury be coming from? ok could be from from body exposure, yet i avoided suplhut foods. moreover, before the dental posioning i would react to selenium/sulphur/ala (ala just for trial back then) and get typical mercury symptoms, after exposure - none, yet i was getting sicker and sicker. why? my tisuses where probably retaining cause mercury shut down my chemistry. so only logical explanation is infection esp sincemy immunity crashed at the same time. how do i know my immunity crashed? candida - before posioning getting on diet was enough for the mucosal immunity to start atatakcing candida and getting die off, before poisoning taking vitamin a/codliver oil/zinc/using zapper (that merely elcitrifies the bugs so they are inactive and immune system goes after them easily) and having the same reaction - die off. after poinsoning? NOTHING, almost no reaction or very little with a lot more effort. but basically nothing. so it makes sense immunity crashed.

i've also ahd issues in the past. all my lfie felt aspergerish/adhdish/depressed etc. i also had iq issues in high school , i just felt 'blocked' for two years in high school for no reason and then alst year of hgh school - boom iq goes up all of a sudden. and it was oo suspicious to think it was just maturing, not from the perspective what ive been thru, esp scne i ahd many issues like skin back then which i now know was gut. was it mercury that was affecting my brain for those years in high school? no, slim chance of that as mercury doesnt come out of the brain on its own. was mercury the underlying cause? sure, probbaly, whcih was confirmed by hair tets from two eyars ago, thats why i decided to remove fillings. didnt expect what would happen... (and no, no biological dentists in poland so i just had to risk).

alsow hat hapepend to me at the begining. of the year - was in ebd wtahcing tv when all of suddent fel like my left hemisphere got "wet" and cold and justshut downa and started aching/swelling. thought it was a stroke (ct ruled it out). mercury? no, because i had a very simialir experience right afetr that dental exposure, staretd feeling sick and was stupid enought to take ala - and my blood hg was high right after exposure - ended up having almost my whole RIGHT hemisphere blocked for some time. BUT this has correxcted itself in some part, and later on after ala use. So that was mercury. What happened in february with my LEFT hemisphere: a) similair in a way, yet felt compeltely different b) didnt respond to ala at all, and soon after that and later on. if its not a stroke, not mercury, then what is left? only infection makes sense. oh, not to mention i had fever on and off those days after the incident, and whenever i had t the swelling would be bigger. almost seems like the immune system trying to attack something (and bug is more likely then emrcury molecules).

and also u know what? what appened to me is absically the same thing that has happeend to austici kids. of course im not getting an autism dx because this happens to me when im an adult with an alreayd matured brain but everything else cheskes out - weakened immune system, emrcury exposure, crash and mental deteriorating. and bugs and infections are a fact in autism. not to mention multiple studies implicate it in many degenerative diseases (which could ahev mrcurry as the udnerlying culrpit).

DMSA CAN cause neutropenia in some people but often it does not. How do you know that it causes you to have neutropenia? Have you tested your neutrophils during or after DMSA use?


no i havent but i get symptoms like getting cold, shivers (which are immune reactions), candida and my brain very much getting worse on dmsa - makes sense its neurepenia probbaly, esp sinc it makes my brain worse that much. hot do i know its not just mercury? because I DONT get thsoe things with ala (apart from the yeast).

and for the record: I did many rounds of dmsa first and stopped tolaertaing it. its not like i BELIEVED MSYELF into soemthing and DIDNT TRY IT. I have, gave it a try, didnt work, DREW CONLUSIONS. so my conlusions on dmsa are not really hypothetical, they are more empirical.

the point is: do i really know for 100% that dmsa causes neutropenia in me? no. but what i know is that i cant tolerate dmsa, tho i could before. meaning it does something bad for me, neutreopwnia or not, it seems the best bet. do i 100% know its an infection? no, but A LOT LOT indicates that (and i dont even remmember half of the things that point to that as well). and even id its NOT infection, tho it makes most sense, but sthg else, fact is candida makes it lots lots worse.

so why ASSUME everything is EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN? Those things i mentioned to u before are RATIONAL conlusions. Just because there is emotion to it, doesnt mean there isnt rationality.
A little while ago i read at autism/frequent chelation yahoo group that ther might be happenign strokes in autistic kids. of course i freaked out:) since i have all this dementia and brainpressure etc. but THEN i thought, i dont know this, lets not focus on it, get the emrcury out, see what happens and maybe do an mri in the future or other tests. And yeah that was definetely an anxiety driven conlusion - whether or true or not. But fact i saw it, means NOT everything has to be emtionally DRIVEN, even if there is some emotion to it.

bascially u are right about toxic people anxiety, it's just not all that black and white.

ps. I am chelating ala 16mg atm. wish me luck
