Help With Mercury

Hi everyone. First sorry my english, I'm spanish and am 23 years old. After two years very sick, and after visit many Drs. Ive discovered that Ive mercury poisoning. Before that, I believed that all my troubles were produced by candidiasis, but now, that Ive killed all of them, Im still sick. My levels of mercury are very high, 12ppm, being the maximun tolerate level 1ppm. I had some amalgams when I was 13, but now Ive none. I think they must to have fallen with the past of the time. Now Im at home everytime because I,m very tired and am not be able to continue my studies. A week ago I started to have DMSA, 250mg per day, and some complements like zinc. My symptoms, as well as the big tiredness are insomnia, blurred sight, nauseas,lost apetitte between others. I have vitiligo since 2000 too. Please I would like Knowing if Im in the correct way, and how many time can this hell last. And if after expelling the mercury out of my body, Ill improve or if it will necesary to adjust something like the hormones levels or something similar. I say that because I have a low levels of DHEA. Please answer me if you have experience in this subject because Im very desperate. Thanks everyone.


Hi Sergio,

Please read up on mercury chelating and be well informed. Mercury chelating is a very controversial subject and there are many who would tell you it is dangerous to take that much DMSA all at once. Here is one web address and info on chelating by Dr. Klinghardt

The basic program:

High protein, mineral, fatty acid and fluid intake Rationale: proteins
provide the important precursors to the endogenous metal detox and
shuttle agents, such as coeruloplasmin, metallothioneine, glutathione
and others. The branched-chain amino acids in cow and goat whey have
valuable independent detox effects. Metals attach themselves only in
places that are programmed for attachment of metal ions. Mineral
deficiency provides the opportunity for toxic metals to attach
themselves to vacant binding sites. A healthy mineral base is a
prerequisite for all metal detox attempts (selenium, zinc, manganese,
germanium, molybdenum etc.). Substituting minerals can detoxify the body
by itself. Just as important are electrolytes (sodium, potassium,
calcium, magnesium), which help to transport toxic waste across the
extracellular space towards the lymphatic and venous vessels. Lipids
(made from fatty acids) make up 60-80 % of the central nervous system
and need to be constantly replenished. Deficiency makes the nervous
system vulnerabe to the fat soluble metals, such as metallic mercury
constantly escaping as odorless and invisible vapour evapourating from
the amalgam fillings. Without enough fluid intake the kidneys may
become contaminated with metals. The basal membranes swell up and the
kidneys can no longer efficiently filtrate toxins. Adding a balanced
electrolyte solution in small amounts to water helps to restore
intra-and extracellular fluid balance

Cilantro (chinese parsley) This kitchen herb is capable of mobilizing
mercury, cadmium, lead and aluminum in both bones and the central
nervous system. It is probably the only effective agent in mobilizing
mercury stored in the inracellular space (attached to mitochondria,
tubulin, liposomes etc) and in the nucleus of the cell (reversing DNA
damage of mercury). Because cilantro mobilizes more toxins then it can
carry out of the body, it may flood the connective tissue (where the
nerves reside) with metals, that were previously stored in safer hiding
places. This process is called re-toxification. It can easily be avoided
by simultaneously giving an intestinal toxin-absorbing agent. Our
definite choice is the algal organism chlorella. A recent animal study
demonstrated rapid removal of aluminum from the skeleton superior to any
known other detox agent.

Dosage and application of cilantro tincture: give 2 drops 2 times /day
in the beginning, taken just before a meal or 30 minutes after taking
chlorella (cilantro causes the gallbadder to dump bile - containing the
excreted neurotoxins - into the small intestine. The bile-release occurs
naturally as we are eating and is much enhanced by cilantro. If no
chlorella is taken, most neurotoxins are reabsorbed on the way down the
small intestine by the abundant nerve endings of the enteric nervous
system). Gradually increase dose to 10 drops 3 times/day for full
benefit. During the initial phase of the detox cilantro should be given
1 week on, 2 3 weeks off.

Other ways of taking cilantro: rub 5 drops twice/day into ankles for
mobilization of metals in all organs, joints and structures below the
diaphragm, and into the wrists for organs, joints and structures above
the diaphragm. The wrists have dense autonomic innervation (axonal
uptake of cilantro) and are crossed by the main lymphatic channels
(lymphatic uptake).

Cilantro tea: use 10 to 20 drops in cup of hot water. Sip slowly. Clears
the brain quickly of many neurotoxins. Good for headaches and other
acute syptoms (joint pains, angina, headache): rub 10 15 drops into
painful area. Often achieves almost instant pain relief.

Chlorella: Both C.pyreneidosa (better absorption of toxins, but harder
to digest) and C.vulgaris (higher CGF content see below, easier to
digest, less metal absorbing capability) are available. Chlorella has
multiple health inducing effects:

Antiviral (especially effective against the cytomegaly virus from the
herpes family) Toxin binding (mucopolysaccharide membrane) all known
toxic metals, environmental toxins such as dioxin and others Repairs
and activates the bodys detoxification functions: Dramatically
increases reduced glutathion, Sporopollein is as effective as
cholestyramin in binding neurotoxins and more effective in binding toxic
metals then any other natural substance found. Various peptides
restore coeruloplasmin and metallothioneine, Lipids (12.4 %) alpha-and
gamma-linoleic acid help to balance the increased intake of fish oil
during our detox program and are necessary for a multitude of functions,
including formation of ther peroxisomes. Methyl-coblolamine is food
for the nervous system, restores damaged neurons and has ist own
detoxifying efect. Chlorella growth factor helps the body detoxify
itself in a yet not understood profound way. It appears that over
millions of years chlorella has developed specific detoxifying proteins
and peptides for every existing toxic metal. The porphyrins in
chlorophyl have their own strong metal binding effect. Chlorophyll also
activates the PPAR-receptor on the nucleus of the cell which is
responsible for the transcription of Dna and coding the formation of the
peroxisomes (see fish oil), opening of the cell wall (unknown mechanism)
which is necessary for all detox procedures, normalizes insulin
resistance and much more. Medical drugs that activate the PPAR receptor
(such as pioglitazone) have been effective in the treatment of breast
and prostate cancer. Super nutrient: 50-60% aminoacid content, ideal
nutrient for vegetarians, methylcobolamin - the most easily absorbed and
utilized form of B12, B6, minerals, chlorophyll, beta carotene etc.
Immune system strengthening Restores bowel flora Digestive aid
(bulking agent) Alkalinizing agent (important for patients with
malignancies)

Dosage: start with 1 gram (=4 tabl) 3-4 times/day. This is the standard
maintainance dosage for grown ups for the 6-24 months of active detox.
During the more active phase of the detox (every 2-4 weeks for 1 week),
whenever cilantro is given, the dose can be increased to 3 grams 3-4
times per day (1 week on, 2-4 weeks back down to the maintainance
dosage). Take 30 minutes before the main meals and at bedtime. This way
chlorella is exactly in that portion of the small intestine where the
bile squirts into the gut at the beginning of the meal, carrying with it
toxic metals and other toxic waste. These are bound by the chlorella
cell wall and carried out via the digestive tract. When amalgam fillings
are removed, the higher dose should be given for 2 days before and 2-5
days after the procedure (the more fillings are removed, the longer the
higher dose should be given). No cilantro should be given around the
time of dental work. During this time we do not want to moblize deeply
stored metals in addition to the expected new exposure. If you take
Vitamin C during your detox program, take it as far away from Chlorella
as possible (best after meals). Side effects: most side effects reflect
the toxic effect of the mobilized metals which are shuttled through the
organism. This problem is instantly avoided by significantly increasing
the chlorella dosage, not by reducing it, which would worsen the problem
(small chlorella doses mobilize more metals then are bound in the gut,
large chlorella doses bind more toxins then are mobilized). Some people
have problems digesting the cell membrane of chlorella. The enzyme
cellulase resolves this problem. Cellulase is available in many health
food stores in digestive enzyme products. Taking chlorella together with
food also helps in some cases, even though it is less effective that
way. C.vulgaris has a thinner cell wall and is better toerated by people
with digestive problems. Some manufactures have created cell wall free
chlorella extracts (NDF, PCA) which are very expensive, less effective -
but easily absorbed.

Chlorella growth factor This is a heat extract from chlorella that
concentrates certain peptides, proteins and other ingredients. The
research on CGF shows that children develop no tooth decay and their
dentition (maxillary-facial development) is near perfect. There are less
illnesses and children grow earlier to a larger size with higher I.Q and
are socially more skilled. There are case reports of patients with
dramatic tumor remissions after taking CGF in higher amounts. In our
experience, CGF makes the detox experience for the patient much easier,
shorter and more effective.

Recommended dosage: 1 cap. CGF for each 20 tabl.chlorella

Garlic (allium sativum) and wild garlic (allium ursinum) Garlic has been
shown to protect the white and red blood cells from oxidative damage,
caused by metals in the blood stream - on their way out and also has
ist own valid detoxification functions. Garlic contains numerous sulphur
components, including the most valuable sulph-hydryl groups which
oxidize mercury, cadmium and lead and make these metals water soluble.
This makes it easy for the organism to excrete these subastances. Garlic
also contains alliin whis is enzymatically transformed into allicin,
natures most potent antimicrobial agent. Metal toxic patients almost
always suffer from secondary infections, which are often responsible for
part of the symptoms. Garlic also contains the most important mineral
which protects from mercury toxicity, bio active selenium. Most selemium
products are poorly absorbable and do not reach those body compartments
in need for it. Garlic selenium is the most beneficial natural
bioavailable source. Garlic is also protectice for against heart disease
and cancer. The half life of allicin (after crushing garlic) is less
then 14 days. Most commercial garlic products have no allicin releasing
potential left. This distinguishes freeze dried garlic from all other
products. Bear garlic tincture is excellent for use in detox, but less
effective as antimicrobial agent.

Dosage: 1-3 capsules freeze dried garlic after each meal. Start with 1
capsule after the main meal per day, slowly increase to the higher
dosage. Initially the patient may experience die-off reactions (from
killing pathogenic fungal or bacterial organisms). Use 5-10 drops
bear-garlic on food at least 3 times per day.

Fish oil: The fatty acid complexes EPA and DHA in fish oil make the red
and white blood cells more flexible thus improving the microcirculation
of the brain, heart and other tissues. All detoxification functions
depend on optimal oxygen delivery and blood flow. EPA and DHA protect
the brain from viral infections and are needed for the development of
intelligence and eye-sight. The most vital cell organelle for
detoxification is the peroxisome. These small structures are also
responsible for the specific job each cell has: in the pineal gland the
meltonin is produced in the peroxisome, in the neurons dopamine and
norepinephrine, etc. It is here, where mercury and other toxic metal
attach and disable the cell from doing its work. Other researchers have
focussed on the mitochondria and other cellorganelles, which in our
experience are damaged much later. The cell is constantly trying to make
new peroxisomes to replace the damaged ones for that task it needs an
abundance of fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA. Until recently it was
believed, that the body can manufacture ist own EPA/DHA from other Omega
3 fatty acids such as fish oil. Today we know, that this process is slow
and cannot keep up with the enormous demand for EPA/DHA our systems have
in todays toxic environment. Fish oil is now considered an essential
nutrient, even for vegetarians. Recent research also revealed, that the
transformation humans underwent when apes became intelligent and turned
into humans happened only in coastal regions, where the apes started to
consume large amounts of fish. Why not benefit from that knowledge and
consume more fish oil? The fatty acids in fish oil are very sensitive to
exposure to electromagnetic fields, temperature, light and various
aspects of handling and processing. Trans fatty acids, long chain fatty
acids, renegade fats and other oxydation products and contaminants are
frequently found in most commercial products. Ideally, fish oil should
be kept in an uninterrupted cooling chain until it ends up in the
patients fridge. The fish-source should be mercury and contaminant free,
which is becoming harder and harder. Fish oil should tast slightly fishy
but not too much. If there is no fish taste, too much processing and
manipulation has destroyed the vitality of the oil. If it tastes too
fishy, oxydation products are present. I recommend to use the product
recommended below (grade I), where meticulous care has been taken to
comply with all the necessary parameters. The clinical results are
outstanding.

Dosage: 1 capsule Omega 3 taken 4 times/day during the active phase of
treatment, 1 caps. twice/day for maintainance Best if taken together
with chlorella The VegiPearls contain half the amount of EPA/DHA. The
vegetarian capsules eliminate even the most remote possibility of
containing prions and make the idea of taking fish oil more easily
acceptable for vegetarians. Recently a fatty acid receptor has been
discovred on the tongue, joining the other more known taste receptors.
If the capsules are chewed, the stomach and pancreas start to prepare
the digestive tract in exactly the right way to prepare for maximum
absorption. Children love chewing the VegiPearls. To treat bipolar
depression, post partum depression and other forms of mental disease,
2000 mg of EPA are needed/day (David Horrobin). For the modulation of
malignancies, 120 mg of EPA 4 times/day are needed. The calculations can
easily be done with the information given on the label.

Balanced electolyte solution (Selectrolyte) The autonomic nervous system
in most toxic patients is dysfunctional. Electric s in the
organism are not received, are misunderstood or misinterpreted. Toxins
cannot be shuttled through the extracellular space. Increased intake of
natural ocean salt (celtic sea salt) and avoidance of regular table
salt - has been found to be very effective in resolving some of these
problems. Most effective is a solution pioneered by the American chemist
Ketkovsky. He created the formula for the most effective electrolyte
replacement, which was further improved by Morin Labs, and is now called
selectrolyte. I recommend this to all my patients and have observed,
that every aspect of the detoxification process seems to be enhanced. 5
% of the population is sodium or chloride sensitive the blood pressure
goes up (easily reversible). In these patients the detox process takes
longer and is more difficult.

Dosage: 1 tsp in a cup of good water 1-3 times/day During times of
greater stress the dosage can be temporarily increased to 1 tbsp 3
times/day

More agressive approaches, such as i.v Glutathione, Vit.C, DMPS, CaEDTA
and others have a place in reasonably healthy people but often worsen
the condition in patients with advanced illness. Most valuable is the
addition of psychotherapeutic interventions such as applied
psychoneurobiology (APN) and mental field therapy (MFT) to trigger the
release of toxins from their hiding places.

Chlorella, cilantro, garlic-products and fatty acids vary greatly in
quality and nutrient content, also in content of contaminants. I no
longer recommend BioReurella and other products that have not undergone
or passed our quality control screening process.

Heavy metal detox has to be done carefully and right!

Also, you may want to check out Andy Cutler on the web. He says a person should only take about 12 mg to 25 mg of DMSA every 4 hours for 3 to 4 days. Mercury can redistribute and cause you to be sicker than you are now if you are not doing it correctly. Check out
frequent-dose-chelation@yahoo.groups.com '
There are people on this list who are well informed and they can help you.
Good luck, but be careful and be informed.

Thanks for all information Connie, Ill show it to my Dr., who I think is giving me to much DMSA at once


Besides the zinc, are you also taking sulfates? Sulfates are generally low in the mercury poisoned. Sulfates are needed for your body to use DHEA and other hormones properly. Epsom salt baths are a common method for increasing sulfate levels.

Mercury binds selenium, and selenium is needed to convert thyroid into its active form (T3). So a supplement of thyroid might be needed. Also, you may need adrenal support. Salt is very important to the mercury poisoned. Make sure you get enough salt and potassium.

Another important problem to address. Often glutathione is low in the mercury poisoned. You need glutathione to help remove the mercury from your cells and to help protect your nervous system. Glutathione is often low due to a lack of sulfur and due to mercury's interference with B12 and folic acid. The form of B12 supplement that mercury poisoned people are using is called methylcobalamin. The mercury poisoned people are using injections of this each day. The form of folic acid that mercury poisoned people are using is called folinic acid. Take the folinic acid orally twice a day. Your doctor should know how much to give you. If not, look up the information at http://www.autisme-montreal.com/congres/2003/Neubrander.html Don't worry that they are talking about autism. Many of the autistic are mercury poisoned --- that is why they need the methylcobalamin and folinic acid.

If you purchase a supplement of glutathione, first start with the pills and see if you tolerate them. Then next try the the nasal spray of glutathione and see if that is tolerated. Then next have your doctor try the IV glutathione.



Thanks Polly,Ive annotated all things you have written me,and Ill tell they to my Dr. Thank you very much
