What dose are you on and are you taking it every 4 hours? I found that many times DMSA corrected a dreadful reaction from backfire effects/redistribution when taken in this way.

I do not believe, after my experience, that minerals are nearly enough to heal from this condition. Neither is diet, but they can help in that they support and replace what mercury depletes. And certain minerals/elements displace the mercury and may well precipitate some movement/removal of metals in the process, but a chelator is required to chelate the mercury OUT. The more mercury that is chelated out, the better the health becomes and the more the body can absorb and utilise nutrients. Candida may also need to be treated for similar reasons. I was unable to make proper progress until I took onboard proper chelation.

DMSA was a great help in getting alot of mercury out of me. Though in hindsight it was not enough because brain/organ mercury must at some point be chelated out also. ALA appears to be the one to do this, but only when blood/body mercury are reduced.

I disagree there, I don't think a chelator is needed for this to fully be taken out or even so called TURNED off in your body, if the mineral turns off or deactivates the metal then how is it still harmful? Check the moreless page on curezone I posted up there he explains that more. I also read about Kelp or Selenium and Iodine making it harmless in your body. I would try minerals for a while before trying anything extreme that can pretty much end you as you know it. Chelation is dangerous IMO, I have tried it with Cilantro and felt like a Zombie! If any metal is still under a tooth or in your mouth too you can get alot worse, how to know if some is not hidden or a root canal? One might now know. I believe Minerals are a big step in getting better as minerals are a key to life and make our bodies run, without them vitamins and enzymes etc. will not all function properly. I am not saying you are wrong, just disagree on some of what you said there. BTW Magnesium can even block metals from entering your cells! Read up on that as well, very good stuff it is. There is so much misinformation out here in the net it can hurt you, some come up with things and believe it to be true and then it becomes legend in here or other boards, when infact not all we read is true.


Peace, Sean.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
