Well a lot has happened this year. I’ll keep it brief and to the point. I was following Andy Cutler protocol and making some progress but also felt i was getting depleted. Even on the vitamins i felt i was wilting away. I can’t be sure that it was the DMSA or the high dose vitamins causing imbalances. Perhaps it was both.
It all came to a crashing halt when i got covid (i never got the vax) for a few weeks in May 22; my vitamin regime turned on me and i had to stop. So that put an end to chelation as i couldn’t take any supporting vitamins. My overall health crashed quite bad for months, i was really run down and it just didn’t make sense to restart chelation. I haven’t taken any DMSA or chelators since then.
I thought i would have made more progress, it all seemed too difficult and too draining for my body. I had no choice but to give it a break and change course.
I decided to take a more natural approach and follow my own program based on Connie Fox’s protocol. Gut first, then bad bugs, then consider chelation. She is adamant no one needs to do chelation with DMSA DMPS and/or ALA. She says chelation, or getting mercury out, is the easy part after all the hard work has been done repairing gut, restoring imbalances as much as possible, and generally getting much stronger before even thing about dealing directly with the mercury.
So i’m right back at rebuilding gut and mineral/vitamins, dealing with chronic infections/viral load without even thing about stiring up any mercury
Obviously diet is crucial, i’m also trying BPC157 to help heal the gut, vitc, copper, zinc, quercitin are a few basics. But i’m taking way more and won’t post untill something has worked well for me because it’s all experimental.
In hindsight, perhaps the DMSA did pull out some metals but it was too much of a struggle overall. I have taken months to improve after stopping, perhaps some imbalances have normalised after 10 tough months of chelation. There are just so many unknowns. it’s all very frustrating at times. Overall i feel slightly better so something has worked to some degree. It really is so different for everyone unfortunately experimentation is the only way. And the first goal is to not make yourself any worse
I hope to post much sooner next time with some better gains. All the best
