July 2021 – Chelation Begins Again

Leave a reply

Some improvement – jeez, it took me over a year to tolerate the vitamins which allow me to tolerate the DMSA Chelation.

Note – i was aiming to do bugs first but since i am tolerating DMSA i will see how i go. You have one side saying you have to get rid of the bugs first, to make chelation easier, which makes sense. But then others say the bugs won’t go until you remove the metals, which also makes sense, so it’s really up to the individual doing some trial and error.

I’m anti-vitamins; I wouldn’t be taking them otherwise. I have discussed them in earlier posts. They are customised for me, and they work. If you want to take vitamins and just want the basics then I’d advise what Dr Cutler advises. If you’d rather take none then just start with small doses of DMSA or DMPS or ALA. Some people are on 1mg! This might be me if I wasn’t on the supporting vitamins.

My current “rounds” are 6.5 mg of DMSA, every 3.5 to 4 hours, for 3 to 4 days. It is knocking me around a bit but it’s tolerable so this is fine. Diet has been crucial – nothing sugary or too carby. Sometimes I have a good round, the first two were quite tough but doable. I try to go into them feeling as strong as possible (relatively strong, like a weak strong, not a weak weak, because you can just get a lot worse.) If you are constantly weak, you might just have to start and stop the round when feeling crappy. Wait a few days to a week, then try again. It should get easier.

The good old coffee enemas have also been very handy on day 3 and 4 if I’m struggling. I’m a little over doing these but they are effective, and cheap, and i don’t have to go anywhere. These aren’t everyone’s cup of tea (excuse the pun), some use Epsom Salts Baths, skin brushing, hot showers, gentle excercise, staying occupied. Sometimes just staying on the move works as sitting or lying down can make things worse.

I keep referring to the great chelation book – “The Mercury Detoxification Manual”. It’s a real science getting chelation right

All the best for everyone else out there doing chelation – just keep knocking out those rounds.

OSR, Emeramide, Irminex, NBMI – Heavy Metal Chelator

These are all names for the same product.

It is developed by Dr Boyd Haley as a safe heavy metal chelator. Officially it is currently available for compassionate use only while it gets FDA approval. Dr Haley’s website:

www.emeramed.com

There are also unofficial forums like on facebook that are obtaining it (one only has to google the product to find who else sells it). Boyd does not recommend buying it from these medical companies but people are, and getting results. All sorts of claims are being made, both good and bad, but this what I have learned about it:

  • because anyone has access to it (if they are willing to spend approx $400 to $700+ a month at full dose) people take too little or too much and also some are not heavy metal toxic, so you can imagine all the comments when really no one can prove if and how badly they are toxic and what is the correct dose for them. This puts the potentially effective product at risk of never making to to mainstream use. So please do your homework and be very careful both discussing and consuming it.
  • For sulphur sensitive people who have been severely toxic for many years, a normal dose (100mgs x 3 per day, so 300mgs) can make you feel much much worse. A much lower starting dose and a molybdenum supplement should help with this. Some people are using micro scales and starting at 1mg per day and building up.
  • OSR is lipophilic meaning it can cross the blood brain barrier and basically get everywhere and anywhere metals are hiding. Metals are bound very tightly and then excreted over time via the bowel.
  • My assumption is that because OSR also increases glutathione inside the cell, it causes toxins to be pushed out of the cell. This is good but if there isn’t enough OSR to bind to the metals then we can fell very shitty. This is my take on it I could be wrong.
  • OSR has a supposed half life of 24 hours so taking it once a day should be fine. BUT, some people seem to get what feel like redistribution symptoms after say 18 hours so find taking it more often is better. This all still very experimental so a careful approach is needed.
  • I also think that for the chronic cases, when OSR does bind and remove a metal it does disrupt the balance of that cell and it can take a while for us to recover. So there most likely will be side effects that should be able to be managed with supplements, low dosing to start, a very nutritious diet and enough rest.
  • 2 weeks cycles are recommended but once again this can be personalized. Some do a 3 day round Andy Cutler style, and also take the core four supplements – Vitamin C, magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin E. There is no standard protocol as yet. Dr Boyd Haley has taken over 100mgs every day for years but someone else may not tolerate a single dose at 5mg.

I dearly hope that this product does what it says it does and therefore will help so many people who are suffering. It is SO much easier than doing the old school chelation with DMSA, DMPS and ALA, particularly for the more severe cases. It’s just going to take some time and experimentation to work out some protocols.

Anti-Microbial / Parasite / Viral / Fungal Program

Leave a reply

I’m pleased to say I now have enough resilience and core strength to tolerate the anti microbial supplements. Many months ago I could not tolerate any bug killing food or supplement. Even Coconut oil would send me into a spiral of physical and mental suffering. I couldn’t even tolerate a 1 drop per day of Liver Life. I was at a roadblock, i just could not progress. No wonder products like cilantro, DMPS/DMSA, Alpha Lipoic Acid were total disasters for me a while back; it’s because my body was in no shape to handle them. They are great products in their own right but timing is everything. You cannot rush severe and chronic toxicity issues.

What was vital for getting me to this level was balancing my thyroid (even though the doctors said it was normal – they were wrong) , taking customized supplements including B6 and Zinc to fix the Pyroluria/Pyrolles issue and getting diet right. Without this, I was going nowhere just existing and hoping I would find some solution. Part of me had given up; it was a miserable existence. I’d seen over 80 health practitioners over a 22 year period. I was starting to suspect my own sanity, and it didn’t help that the ‘best’ doctors in the country were saying it was psychosomatic. I can now confirm that this was total bullshit and no anti-psychotic drug or psychotherapy would have ever had a long lasting positive effect.

So to be at the stage where I am improving and can tolerate supplements and reduce my microbial load is great. Food and sleep actually work now, in terms of natural recovery from daily activities. But the job isn’t done yet, the bug/parasite/worm killing side effects aren’t fun if I don’t manage the program well but this is all part of learning and healing.

This is the last stage before actually directly pulling out any heavy metals like lead and mercury. Much of this toxic load would have already come out by that stage (when bugs are killed they can release toxins) and one should be feeling relatively strong or much stronger than previously to be able to tolerate the final detox products like synthetic chelators and alpha lipoic acid and cilantro etc. These are examples; I’m not sure what I will be using yet.

Below is a pic of most of the anti-microbial program products.

So I’m established on whole thyroid extract, nutraceuticals/supplements and a damn good diet for me. Everyone is different but it’s based on a meat, eggs, greens regime with very little carbs, sugar – you know the drill. High quality food. If you’ve found an ideal diet that is not what generally works for others then that’s great. I’ll admit I haven’t been so strict and had the occasional bread, chocolate, diary blowout and the odd beer. I tolerated those foods way better but it’s defeating the purpose – those foods feed what we are trying to kill.

Brief Overview

Dr Shultz: Intestinal formula # 1. This has been the most effective anti-constipation product I’ve used. The time between getting the message and sitting down is alarmingly quick! When detoxing, you want things to be passing through you relatively quickly for a number of reasons. Even with clay/charcoal binders; you don’t want these agents getting stuck and eventually soaking back into your bloodstream. They absorb a lot but they aren’t perfect. If you don’t use a product like this then you are going to have to rely on enemas which are cheaper but more work. Or any other method you have discovered to get things moving.

Niacin: dilates small blood vessels so the bug killing formulas can really get in there

Grapefruit Juice/Extract: Our livers make enzymes that lessen the effect of the bug killers; this inhibits the enzymes. It is also an antimicrobial in itself.

Milk Thistle: general liver support. The liver will be under strain so any support for it is recommended. Although it is not directly a bug killer it can mobilize a backlog of toxins so just be aware of this. I started on this first and used the coffee and charcoal/clay when feeling rough. Once established on this I introduced the active bug killers.

Fungus Fighter: anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. Kidney support.

Harker Vermez: a deworming/parasite intestinal cleanser. This is a New Zealand product but there are similar potions around containing wormwood, green walnut leaf and clove oil and more. Davinci Labs Para Shield is another option.

Liver Life: opens up liver detox pathways and supports kidney function. This product is not actually part of the official program I’ve been given. I find it very powerful and increasing the daily dose has been slow going. I should be fine with the Milk Thistle so I suspect the herbs in there are helping to flush out toxins. I’ll bear with it and reassess things in a month.

Coffee Enemas: as a veteran who has done over 200 of these over the years I can safely say these have been one of the most effective detox / plan management treatments out there. They also cost around $0.50 each and you don’t have to leave home. I’m doing one every few days at the moment and more if I’m not tolerating a higher bug killer dose. Clay and Charcoal can help a lot but there’s nothing like a full flush out to ease the detox side effect pain. The coffee has acids in it that dilate tubes around the gallbladder and liver, sometimes you can hear the dirty old bile getting squeezed out into your gut. Your gut then senses this toxicity and immediately expels it. Doctors have told me i’m wrong on this but they’ve never done one!!?? My first few coffee enemas expelled hundreds of pea sized balls most likely from my gallbladder or liver ducts, this literally saved me from a world of pain.

I haven’t met many others who have had the success I’ve had with this treatment but i think it’s really worth a go.

Dr Shultz: Formula # 2 Clay / Charcoal: an effective binder of whatever is expelled from your gallbladder and soaked in from the gut wall. I am still experimenting as to when is the best time to take this. I use it half an hour after taking the bug killers and after a coffee enema if I’m feeling light headed. I’ve also tried before bed and upon waking. Hopefully it becomes clear what works and I can share this. If I’m really struggling then I take it throughout the day on an as needed basis. Coffee enema may also be required. But if it gets to this stage then I decrease my dosage as it can be too tough on the body. One has to be patient in this game. On the occasional day off I bounce back strongly so this is positive.

Improvements on days off have been better mood, clearer head, better sleep, food tastes better, less anxiety/irritability, smoother skin. Just all round improvements in general.

The amount of supplements can be overwhelming but until someone comes with a better solution then this is the way it is. It takes discipline, dedication and planning. It can be a lonely experience but if you’ve made it this far then you can keep going.

Other supplements commonly used are garlic, probiotics, para shield, lymecore formula. I’m sure there are many others that also have worked well for people. Let me know in the comments if you have had success. Infrared saunas and light exercise/stretching/swimming also can help. It’s constant experimentation. As long as you understand what you are trying to do and what support your body needs. Toxins into bloodstream – liver – gallbladder/kidney/skin then out. These channels must be supported and functioning reasonably well before undertaking this stage.

A full description on dosages and products will be in my detailed program published later this year (assuming my progress continues as this rate)

All the best with your own recovery.

Hair Test from Trace Elements

My first Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis came back as you can see below. These results from Trace Elements contain way more data for your practitioner to interpret. That means they get a better idea of what is wrong with you and how to improve your health.

I’ll wait until I speak to my Doc but I wasn’t surprised to see the 4 main minerals still quite low due to a relatively stressful few months. The first 4 – Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium should be higher. The toxic metal, Pb, or Lead, on the top right is higher – perhaps it’s starting to come out. I will add info here if anything important comes out of the the analysis. I hoping some clues come out of this – that’s the reason I did it. Not a definitive guide but one tool of many.
