Yes I guess it maybe chronic fatigue syndrome. But there is more to it. See what you make of this JK98. I might as well throw it out there. But I warn you, you will find it very strange.

During my time of detox/chelation from mercury (post amalgam removal) I was at a time where I was getting well. At this stage, I was still on DMSA (Cutler style). I had been 5-6 years post removal. Remember I had not been actively detoxing early on, as I did not understand chelation and only realised I needed to do something when I began to dump mercury. At any rate, I started chelation quite late.

At one point during that time of detoxing and slowly getting better, I used an infected eye cosmetic. The bacteria got into the eyes. I then developed a kind of flu (what I thought was a flu). The eye pain caused by this bacteria was so bad, that I really cannot even readily describe it. I was unable to read properly without bringing the pain on worse, or wear eye make up. It would spread also to every other eye comsetic I tried to use. I spent many times with a wet cloth held over my eyes because of the sheer pain.

From there, it spread into the head area. I then started to go off balance and believe it or not, I even slurred my words a little. My thinking became quite slow and I felt movement in the head/chill like sensations. Though the eye symptoms had somewhat improved, it had simply spread. I went to the doctor and he said "oh it's just stress, don't worry about it". However, he gave me a blood test just in case.

Two nurses told me that the blood test showed I had Cytomegalo virus and that it was active. however, the doctor contradicted them and said "It is NOT active" and that I had it in the past just like the glandular fever virus (Epstein barr?).

So I was left without answers and in a chronic state. I had severe sore throat with strange circle type patterns on the back of my mouth and the uvula was swollen. I was unable to exercise without making symptoms worse (fever included).

Here is where things started to change. I began to struggle to keep my weight on. And also felt my gut condition had changed. I started to get itching, athletes foot, and odd fearful thoughts. I still tried to detox the mercury but things were not working as well.

Sadly, not long after this I had dental extractions done and some other dental work (not mercury related). Sometime after this, my health deteriorated even worse. And it was from there that I completely lost my appetite and remained in a kind of drug like stupor. Hard to explain. I could barey eat or function. My body was not responding to my past efforts and I was unable to even sweat properly. Trying would often stress my system too much and make me more exhuasted. I was also unable to exercise. I had to keep it minimal or I'd suffer for weeks worse than ever.

Chelation was not nearly as effective and my gut was severely affected by it. One slip up on DMSA and I was in sheer agony in the gut. I then finally went on a candida diet and this relieved me alot, but still did not remove the viral/bacterial type condition. My efforts in chelation simply were not paying off as they had been....



Yes, perhaps this is what happened. I know I was still poisoned at the time of contracting this virus or whatever the heck it was. I am not doubting that heavy metals suppress Immunity JK98 and i did not say they don't. I am just pointing out the virus/bacteria and following dental work devastated me beyond even what the heavy metals had done. I have tried to point out that it is a combination of factors, but that even heavy metals (alone) did not cause this amount of havoc in and of themselves. I know, I am the one who has gone through this.



Perhaps, but remember it was only a very tiny bit of amalgam and I can imagine many people have a little still there and may not realise it. I even had xrays prior that showed no such bit of amalgam. It was only when I got my composites replaced by cerec porcelain than a mainstream dentist picked it up and removed it for me. But he said it's not unusual to have that as most dentists do not like to drill too deep.

But certainly I have not noticed any improvement from having it out. I've tried DMSA and it's ineffective. No results at all. No reaction whatsoever. No worsening of anything or improvement. So obviously the mercury is not in the areas that DMSA can reach.

I don't get metal detox symptoms from ALA. The only effect I get is worsening of yeast, but as you said, that is metal related? I thought it might be something in the ALA itself....sincerely, I get no metal detox symptoms and I am one of those people that when I detox metal? It is VERY VERY obvious for what it is. In fact, onetime I tried ALA and had a severe metal detox reaction. But I get no such reaction these days. Just yeast. If that's metal? And ALA itself does not flare up yaest or feed it? Then that is my only indication it's still in there.

Oh actually there is another indication. Sorry folks, but I'm going to be candid here. I have dark metallic type discolouration in the private area (where it should be pink). I had this bad with amalgams, but post amalgam removal, when I was getting well? It was fading and almost gone. Suddenly it came back following my deterioratoin in health after the virus etc.....and it's been bad ever since. Why did it return?

And it is worse than ever before.

Well JK98, I will try the ALA, but as I said, not at the moment.

I do believe that a mercury damaged or at least very poisoned immunity may have set the conditions for a bacteria to get in and reek havoc on my already challenged immunity. Couple that with possible dental infection (cavitations) and this maybe why my body is not responding or working as it should.

JK98, I am sure you know what Andy Cutler has said about cavitations? and how a person with them can actually cease responding to chelation?

Problem is, I've had some contradictory reports on this. One dentist said they are only in the two upper areas. One doctor tested me on his EAV and said the lower left one (which interestingly enough it was the lower left wisdom tooth that was done, when I appeared to deteriorate). Yet bone scan does not show a problem in lower left side. I am also stuck in locating a dentist/oral surgeon who will even do the job and will they do even the suspect areas? Proof is required usually for this and I have contradicting reports.

So you may see my dilemma here. Plus finance.

So you see everybody's situation is different and it's not always so cut and dry. My response to chelation/detox has changed dramatically and has almost come to a standstill. Efforts are not rewarded like they once were before the virus/dental work.

Sorry for the long post, but I have tried to explain this as best as I'm able.
