Here’s one with a positive result:

“Comparison of therapeutic effects of garlic and d-Penicillamine in patients with chronic occupational lead poisoning”

Body load and brain load are not the same. This is such an important basic fact. Moving metals can many Times make you a lot worse and it is not easy to fix. That is what you do with traditional chelators. Most efficient and safe detoxifying agent is by far nbmi. Nothing compares to it. It will for most People cause improvement instead of worsening of symptoms.

When you have become toxic and you start moving the metals with chelators beware that it can create a roller coaster ride of depression for years if you are unlucky. It is not a walk in the park to wellness.

It’s confusing to say the least. Many of the Andy Cutler Chelation folks are SO dogmatic about that protocol. And some of it seems to fly in the face of some of the clinical literature. However, other aspects of the protocol seem very logical and scientifically sound.

It seems like if you adhere to the Cutler protocol then by definition you throw out most of the natural chelators (chlorella, cilantro, NAC, MSM, glutathione, etc.). Some of these chelators have strong clinical data backing their efficacy (and many experts who promote their use).

Like most things I’m sure the more research one does, the more the truth bubbles to the surface.

Jody,

It seems to me from my own experience, that staying with natural based supplements as chelators and binders are best, and not to do the chemical chelators such as EDTA, DMPS, or DMSA, as they tend to put a high burden on the organs, in particular the kidneys. I released so much metal with the EDTA, I had problems with my vision while it was circulating throughout my body, and I have also suffered kidney damage because of the high burden the metal places on the organs, and sometimes the body cannot keep up with the rate that we release the chemicals or metals we try to detox.

I have been living with heavy metal poisoning since 2011 when I had a surgery to repair bone that was broken, the orthopedic surgeon mixed nickel plated stainless steel with titanium, and needless to say it really got to me, as a matter of fact it nearly killed me. Every persons body is unique, so what works well for one person might not work well for you.

I have dealt with depression, and I believe the depression has been an over all result of the actually being poisoned, and then attempting to chelate and remove that metal causes me even more depression. Glutathione is a big one for me, so I handle it the best way I know how, a little bit at a time, and whatever I can do to counter act those negative effects, even if it is trying to watch a movie, or talk with someone. I get tempted to give up, because I get tired of dealing with it over and over, but I would personally suggest to you to not give up. Go low, and slow, and when you start to feel better after you have done a small amount of chelating then try it again after you’ve gotten some rest, it is going to be a long hard process, so don’t give up.

Find a way for you to chelate a little at a time, and take your binders like chlorella, clay, and charcoal, and try to sweat when you can, and eat as best as your diet will allow you to being sick. Get plenty of rest, and be ready for a long hard battle, try a day or two of chelating, then the rest of the week off, start low and slow. For what it’s worth, look at where you are now, compared to where you were when you started. It’s going to take a long time to get all the metal out, be patient with it, and try not to over do it, because it can cause more harm than good. I’ve been living with it for 7 years, and I do feel better now than when I was at my sickest, it just takes time.

Did you find how to get rid of copper. My son’s copper is high as well.

If anyone reads this and has some ideas, feel free to post. I am trying to figure out the best route to take next.

I had over 30 fillings and still have 7 left. Trying to replace the amalgam with resin can cause more contamination plus you may weaken the tooth and it may fracture later.

Here’s the deal. Even if you have some amalgam in your mouth, that is not the problem. You need to remove the mercury in your cells first as that is where the true harm is being done. Yes you may leach out a very slight amount from your filling but not nearly the rate it will be removed from your soft tissues.

Once you have removed all or most of the soft tissue mercury you can just continue to take chelators at the lesser amount as maintenance to keep the fillings erosion in check.
