(This is the same post as i posted on Yahoo FDC)
Update on my Progress Feb 2009
The long and the short of it is: I am mostly cured. Hooray!!!
Ok, I’m not cured, but I am in no pain and living a normal life finally now after 10 years of misery and 5 years of hell.
Amalgam removal was completed 1st November 2007 and I started chelation 1 week later. I am 16 months Amalgam free.
I have done 29 Chelation rounds, which is 87 days of chelation.
21 rounds with DMSA only 5mg’s every 2.5 hours in the day and 3 hours at night, 3 days long.
8 rounds with ALA @ 4mg’s every 2.5 hours in the day and 3 hours at night, 3 days long. The ALA rounds are 2 days followed by 1 day of DMSA also at 4mg’s. I always finish my rounds with a very hot detox bath ( Epsom Salts etc) which seems to almost completely reduce any end round redistribution troubles.
If you remember I had amazing results from herbal cleansing.
To date I have done 4 x 30 days parasite cleanses, 4 x 30 days Bowel Cleanses , 2 x 15 days lung cleanses, 5 x 15-25 days kidney cleanses, 1 x 15 day liver cleanse. Lots of castor oil packs, lots of massages, lots of colonic & enema, lots of detox baths (50-75?), daily dry skin brushing, daily oil pulling, contrast showers. Most of the herbal formula’s have come from
http://www.Humaworm.comMy adrenals and thyroid where screwed too and the supplements/protocols I have done have made them both work again.
I will not set out what was wrong with me, nor the multitude of symptoms, nor the chronic pains I had for years and years, but safe to say I have had my mid-life crisis when my life/health fell apart in 2006/2007/2008.
Today all the pain is gone. All the mega chronic bad back pain gone. No more food allergies and I can eat any anything I choose. No more sleepless nights. Skin is normal again. Depression gone. Obsessive tendencies gone. Brain fog gone. MCS gone. Muscle weakness gone. Not cold all the time anymore. I could go on and on about all the pains that have gone but I am now pain free and happy again. Life has reclaimed me now too and I am enjoying my work and my family at long last again.
After 2 years on Yahoo FDC reading every virtually post, I am off the list and getting on with life. It is wonderful to be able to get on with life again, life was real tough for a real long time. I thank my lucky stars I had the strength to learn all I learnt and do all I do.
I could stop now. I could stop the chelation and I could stop all the cleanses and get on with life 100pct…..because when I don’t detox and don’t chelate I feel top of the world….but…the mercury is still there, still in me. I feel excellent now, but when I chelate I still feel the mercury doing its damage. Attempts to increase my dose or lengthen the rounds result in me really feeling it. (although I did manage a 4 day round the other month, but the after effects where a little annoying so I gone back to 3 days rounds.) I have seen repeated reports of people feeling fine, getting on with life, but a couple of years later the mercury comes back to haunt them because they didn’t finish the job of chelating everything out. I will try my upmost to follow Cutlers words and keep on chelating even when I feel no side effects from big chelator doses.
After the nightmare I been through and while I’m still in the right frame of mind, I plan on chelating until I get no symptoms now matter how high the dose. Considering how low my current dose is, I guess I will be chelating for a couple more years yet.
I do seem to be different from a lot of mercury people. I can’t quite understand why I am so much better after only 29 rounds….i must assume its because of the massive amount of herbal cleansing I have done, I have done lots and lots because I have had such tremendous results. I have not met anyone that has done as much as me and I have not met anyone that has got as better as me either.
Either I’m lucky or not as poisoned as others or it’s the herbal cleanse…I believe you make your own luck, when I was sick I was just as sick as everyone else…so in my mind, it must be the herbs.
I continue chelation, I started my 30th round this evening. This year I have done a herbal lung cleanse, a herbal kidney cleanse and after this round I will do another kidney cleanse and a month long bowel cleanse too. I still get minor reactions/die-off from the herbs, and I know this means I still have stuff to detox out. Just like reactions to chelators means I have mercury in me, reactions to herbs means I still have toxins to get out….and so chelation and cleanses will continue. Its easy now anyway, I have done these things so many times I can do them with my eyes closed and my hands tied behind my back. I will try and chelate minimum twice a month which is interspersed with herbal cleansing. My new years resolution is to make chelation the first priority and cleanses must fit in around lots of chelation.
I have no idea how long this feeling good will last? The mercury could strike again at any moment because its certainly still in there, but….I am chelating, I am cleansing and I can’t do anything more than that, so if I do get sick again I will worry about that then.
A big thanks: I could not have got to where I am today without Yahoo FDC, I am eternally grateful to everyone in the group, especially the moderators, all your posts I read over the years and they enabled me to avoid a zillion problems and to make educated choices about my health. I hope you all get as well as I feel now, if I can, anyone can.
I truly believe that all the people in this group are the strongest and toughest people in the world, to be able to ignore what we have been taught about by our doctors and take control of your own health is one of the toughest things anyone can do. Only the best people make it this far and I firmly believe everyone can get better as long as they work hard at it. Again, if I can, anyone can.
(Edit1: same applies to all my buddies here on Herballure:-)
(Edit2: a couple of people did email me after this post and said they are better too.)
Anyway that’s about all, I must get on with life;-)
