Bex, i agree on the DMSA extra cellular thing, even though i haven't touched DMSA myself... yet?..... from what i have read... hmm... however, i don't belive that you waited too long to try ALA.... maybe it's just unknown immunological detox blocking as you belived... Maybe you should do further what Sean and I are doing? You have tried.. somewhat i know as you said it yourself, and stuff happens with you then... so.... once again... maybe taking it further Bex? There is hope from "lyme" too if i remember correctly about what you got for a virus...



Hi Ole,

Thanks for your kind words to others on this forum by the way! It is a great place to connect.

I don't think DMSA is harmful Ole. There maybe few who might be sensitive to it however. But, it is the mercury that is harmful, so any product that shifts mercury around or is taken incorrectly could potentially hurt and hurt bad. DMSA taken correctly for me was great. DMSA taken incorretly was awful. This was all about the mercury rather than the chelator.

I don't have Lyme as far as I know. It was caught after using an infected eye cosmetic, not a tick or anything like that. Testing has not discovered what particular virus/bacteria it is.

Nah... maybe DMSA and ALA has done all it can in you, for now.... for now... maybe it's garlic, pepper, ginger, alfalfa, cilantro time?! carefull with cillantro... i'm too scared to touch it yet... even i "know" i have eaten it in the past in chinese restaurants without knowing what it was... atleast i think that those spice leaves in my soup was cillantro.... what else?.. hehe.....
But i don't dare to touch it yet... i wan't to, but..... i was scared with ginger too, still am abit carefull and sceptical, but atleast yesterday i made some soup at home with 5 pieces ginger, 4 cloves garlic, much much alfalfa, many mung beans, and one small superstrong redpepper, babycorn, etc..... and i handled it well...


Well at this point I don't think DMSA is the ticket. I usually know when it's working and no symptoms whatsoever when I take it these days, even if I take it randomly. So I know there obviously isn't much extra cellular mercury, but organ mercury? Yeah, I'm pretty certain there is storage sitting there. But ALA flares up my yeast too much. And that is a big issue for me.

Doens't mean I'm never going to try ALA again though.

I have tried garlic and cilantro. Not sure if I'm getting much there either. Though garlic I can't be certain. Problem is, garlic doesn't do me any good gut wise. It screws me up in that area. SO I have to take it occassionally, rather than regularly.

I feel it probably does do something with toxins, since I notice a strange feeling of "dampness" after using it and exercising....which one is it? Possibly combination. Does it do something with certain toxins/metals by making them more excretable? I've heard of something like this.

I have ginger and lemon herbal tea quite a bit. I consume alfalfa with salads. I do ok on them, but they don't appear to do much else other than aid my general health. Which is fine, I need that.

Cutler isn't perfect, who is? Nobody, nor does anybody have the perfect solution for EVERYBODY. However, if you're going by trackrecord/testimonies? and people's own experiences? Yes, the guy is about as close as it gets to an expert on mercury detox in my opinion. I could recommend other things, but I have to be honest based upon my personal experience and what I've seen help alot of people.

If somebody does well on high sulfur, that's great. I wouldn't necessarily say "don't ever use sulfur" if somebody finds they do well. However, for enough mercury toxic people, it can hurt badly and that is pretty common too. IT is also quite a good sign to find out if someone has a lot of blood/tissue mercury that can be readily mobilised by high sulfur. Unless the person is low cystein, then they might find it makes them feel better, rather than worse.

Trying things was my only way of finding out which mercury detox plan was the safest and most effective.

Cheers Ole! smile
