MERCURY TOXICITY

08/09/2009: Gean from Salina, Ks writes: "I had mercury amalgams for 34 years and recently had them safely removed. I can't prove a definite connection, but whenever I take lots of cilantro and chlorella or any other such detox, my wrist watch stops, or the light on my wrist watch stops working even though the battery tests OK. This has happened for years, before and after I had them removed. I think it might be the increased electrical activity from the heavy metals pulled out of deep tissue and circulating in the system. Has anyone else experienced this? (If this is so, no wonder it causes so much havoc in the human body)."
Replies02/15/2010: Matt from Tallahassee, Fl replies: "Mercury can cause SOO many problems, it's insane (especially if you're lacking a certain gene, GSTM1, to detox it). If you have mercury fillings, do whatever you can to get that toxic stuff out of your body. It has sent me through a 2 year health roller coaster seeing everyone from gastroenterologists, to multiple cosmetic dentists, to ER doctors, to allergy/immunologists, the list goes on. I've seen over 15 M.D.'s in the past 2 years and not a single one of them linked it to the mercury... it wasn't until I started taking lots of cilantro and lime juice that I started realizing just how much mercury I had in my system. NOTE --- don't do any hardcore heavy metal detoxing until AFTER you get your fillings out. A great resource for finding a biological dentist is: http://www.iaomt.org/ . They are great!
The symptoms I was having from mercury were:
EXTREME fatigue
EXTREME mental foggyness
BAD headaches
Soreness all over
MAJOR shortness of breath
Thyroid issues
Blurry vision (prescription more than doubled over past 2 years)
GALLSTONES (had to go to the ER at 4AM, thinking I was having a heart attack)
Increased shortness of breath when I would get in a NEW CAR (something strange about the scent)
The list goes on...
Best thing you can do in the mean time, prior to getting the fillings out... is to boost your immune system and get your methylation trains running and your glutathione (master detoxer) levels up.
Good way to get in balance is to take HIGH QUALITY (from well researched company's) vitamins and minerals, at least the following each day(take twice a day, once w/ breakfast and once w/ dinner):
*High quality multivitamin
*Calcium and magnesium
*Vitamin D3 (colecalciferol)
*Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA)
*Methylation factors: folate, B6 and B12 (methycobalamin)
*Probiotics
Best of luck to everyone!!! And a big thanks to the contributors of this site. Together we can change the health of the world."
02/27/2010: Faithinhealing from Forest Park, Ohio, Usa replies: "I'm suffering greatly with my fillings and I think EVERYTHING is related to them and not until recently did I finally understand the connection. I have extreme mood swings, adrenal problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. I've heard conflicting stories about having the fillings removed, I'm detoxing and they are still in, but wonder if anyone else out there is detoxing with fillings still in? If definitely isn't easy detoxing with them in, you have to go slow, and stay hydrated!
I'm also wondering how you are doing since you have them removed?"
07/04/2010: Paula from Perth, Wa, Australia replies: "Hi Faithinhealing, After reading about the oil pulling & it's effects on detoxing, I decided to give it a go. I lasted one session & have never felt such immediate pain in my mouth. I have 2 old amalgam filling left & have just had 3 crowns (the ones with the metal inside) & an implant along with a bone graft. Everything in my mouth that had metal ached straight away (except the implant). It's very frustrating because you want the metals out of your sytem, but it hurts to detox... really badly. I will be having the amalgam taken out soon, but the crowns cost me a small fortune & not sure what to do about them. A dentist has suggested i need root canals on the newly crowned teeth, but I could almost buy a house for the price of all that dental work. Arghhhh. Stuck between a rock & a hard spot??"
07/18/2010: Eli from Dallas, Tx replies: "I tried to do the oil pulling and was completely surprised at the intensity of pain it caused. I had not read of anyone having pain with it before. I have had all metal in my mouth removed so the cause cannot be contact with metal. After reading your post I wonder if the pain was a direct result of contaminates remaining in or stored in the mouth and jaw from years of having amalgam fillings (or from who knows what source)? I thought perhaps the pain was from pulling too hard so I tried it again about a week later with very gentle pulls and still experienced the pain. If there are any ideas on this I would sure love to hear them."
01/18/2011: Cary from Miramar, Fl replies: "Dear Matt from Tallahassee, FL:(or anyone with gallstones and amalgam mercury poisoning)
Matt - We seem to have lots of things in common: from living in FL to the the long list of M.D.s (I've been at it for the past 13 months to no avail). We even share the same symptoms--everything on your list, except for the doubling of the vision prescription.
Thank you for your post and all the great tips you included.
Hope you don't mind, but I have some questions:
1. Did you get your gallstones removed?
2. Did your chelation therapy aggravate your gallbladder symptoms?
3. What chelation method did you use after you removed your amalgam fillings?
I had my 1st gallbladder attack 6 months ago, but I opted to forgo gallbladder surgery (I have about 5-6 calcium based stones that I'd like to try to dissolve first, before trying to expel them naturally). But there are a lot of herbs that are contraindicated for people with gallstones.
Hope you're fully recovered from the A.I.
Thanks again for your post!"

[YEA] 05/20/2009: Amy from Los Angeles, CA writes: "I had a hypothyroid condition for over 10 years caused by Hashimoto's Disease where my body produced antibodies to attack my thyroid. I was told this auto-immune disease was completely incurable.
I had terrible toxicity symptoms from extreme fatigue, dizzy spells, memory loss, and multiple food intolerances. Anything that had pesticides, especially herbs, caused near anaphlyactic responses.
I was taking 125 mcg synthroid for 10 years. I never felt right.
I found when I took kelp, my thyroid increased but sometimes it went too high.
I did a lot of research on mercury fillings and decided to have a bio dentist remove them safely. I felt worse as they removed several at each visit. On my last visit, something remarkable happened. The next morning after my last amalgam was removed my basal body temperature returned to normal for the first time in my life.
I ended up in the ER because my thyroid became over active from the medication. The doctor looked at me like I was crazy when I told him it was because of my fillings. My tests confirmed that my thyroid was working on its own and I no longer needed medication. I have been free of hypothyroidism for 5 years now!
Please research the effects of mercury on your hormones. My endocronologist now makes all of her patients remove their amalagams. She has found great evidence that women in menopause can not balance their hormones until their old fillings have been replaced with more bio compatible fillings. No more silver!!!
It's also important to use chlorella or a product like ___ ___ ____ to remove remaining mercury immediately following your dentist visit after amalgam removal.
Good Luck!"
07/05/2009: Dalsan from Portland, OR replies: "Hi Amy,
Your email about having your amalgams removed was very inpiring. How did you go about finding your dentist? Was it terriblely expensive? I have dental insurance, but its not a wide range policy, and I'm afraid most will be out of pocket. You said that you actually felt worse until All were removed. Due to finances I may have to have mine done in stages - am I chasing a dream here? Suggestions? Thanks, Sandi"
02/03/2012: Linda from San Francisco, Ca, Usa replies: "www.amalgam.org is the website of a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating people about the danger of amalgam fillings and helping people find out where they can go to get amalgams out of their mouths safely. They are a source for information only.DAMS, the name of the organization, stands for Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions and it is a non-profit organization based in Minnesota, in the United States, educating the public on mercury amalgams and other ways that dentistry may affect health.
Through their free information packet I was able to locate an excellent biological dentist right in the same town where I live.
Here is an excerpt from their website:
"...Non-profits to the rescue. DAMS is a tax-exempt educational non-profit organization helping educate people in the US, Canada and elsewhere on these very important dental-health issues. People who wish to get their dental amalgam fillings removed should find knowledgeable practitioners who can remove amalgams safely, with elaborate precautions to protect the patient. Such knowledgeable dentists are not merely "mercury-free" or "cosmetic" dentists; they should be "holistic" or "biological" dentists, meaning that they pay attention to the effects that their work has on the whole person and on his/her underlying health. We must emphasize that it is very hazardous to have mercury amalgam fillings replaced by a "regular" (i. E. Conventional) dentist who does not have the training and equipment to replace the amalgams with elaborate precautions. DAMS maintains a list of holistic (biological) dentists in every state and province who are trained and equipped to replace amalgams safely. Hopefully they will also use better choice replacement materials, use natural, less toxic approaches to gum health and decay prevention (no fluoride) and be aware of the hazards of root canal treatments. To request a list of knowledgeable practitioners in your state or province, please call DAMS at 651-644-4572.
Please remember, whether calling us at 651-644-4572 or e-mailing us at dams@usfamily.net, to provide name and full mailing address in order to receive the info guide and our list of holistic dentists in your state; and, if you need a call back, leave your phone number, including area code, and speak slowly in giving your phone number..."
These people do not charge money, and they sell nothing. They are there to help people find out what the dangers of amalgam fillings are, and where to go to get rid of them. They are a clearinghouse (my word) for information and that is all.
Linda"

MULTIPLE REMEDIES

[YEA] 04/22/2009: Chris from Venice, CA writes: "The only things listed here that actually chelate mercury are cilantro (proper dosing schedule unknown) and DMPS (must be taken repeatedly in low doses every eight hours or less - the bad side effects describe below are due to a bad dosing schedule - it's half life is eight hours, and if you take it every other day or something like that, it'll pick up the mercury in your system then drop it off unpredictably when it wears off - hence the bad side effects).
The most effective chelator - to get the poison out of your organs and brain is Alpha Lipoic Acid - in LOW does every *three* hours or less *around the clock*.
For more detailed information, Google Andy Cutler, "Amalgam Illness""
RepliesEC: DMPS = Dimercapto-propane sulfonate, a drug not approved by the FDA.
Here's an interesting website about DMPS: http://www.dmpsbackfire.com/default.shtml
02/27/2010: Faithinhealing from Forest Park, Ohio, Usa replies: "I use the cilantro for metal detoxification, fresh cilantro, I use it in my smoothies. Initially, I could not stand but a small amount, now I use 1/2 a bunch and things are better. CILANTRO IS EXCELLENT for heavy metal detox and CHEAP!
Thanks for the tip on the AlA, I'll definitely add it to my protocol.
For those detoxing, it is important to hydrate the body. Dehydration can make detoxing symptoms much, much worse. I learned this the hard way!"

OIL PULLING

[YEA] 08/24/2007: Kendra Rose from Haiku, Hawaii writes: "I have now been oil pulling for two months both morning and night. Twenty-eight years ago I was exposed to agent orange here in Hawaii from the pineapple fields. It had gotten into the water supply. I have been ill ever since, I especially suffered from migraines. To make things worse I have heavy metal poisoning that is off the charts.
Two friends put their grandmother's rosaries on me and prayed for me by my request... as I had been feeling so terrible.. kept telling my friends that my blood feels poisoned. That night I found EarthClinic and my prayer was answered. My life has been restored to me. Glory be to Buddha, Marys, Christ, angels and all the Saints! HO!
I have consistent energy. I no longer feel poisoned, my blood feels joyous! I am sleeping so deeply from the very first day I tried it. Now that I feel so good, I understand how deeply sick I've been all this time. My body feels so relieved not to start the day with a toxic overload. A new acquaintance of mine said that since she's known me she can't believe the quality of my skin...
I have tried for over 28 years many modalities, herbal medicines, prescription medicines.. nothing helped me.. I began to feel I was the only person on earth who could not heal... and I'm a healer... I am healing and everyday I am amazed, startled, surprised, delighted that I wake up feeling grrreat! Blessed Be!"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "Heavy metal Detox: Oil pulling with peppermint oil, or in some cases added tea tree. Cod liver oil I think is better than sunflower oil, but the problem seems obvious, they are not easily found and quite expensive.
There are more, but those are the main ones.
Oil pulling removes heavy metals from your body, including the heavy metal filings with exception of ceramic fillings. All this is just my experience. You have to decide yourself to do oil pulling or not. If you don't want to rid of fillings and hence heavy metals, then oil pulling should not be done. A preferred remedy that has less negative effect then oil pulling is a simple mouth detox, which is simply saturated solution baking soda and one drop peppermint mouthwash. This one will have the least problems in that it doesn't remove the fillings, but seems to be protective of enamel degradation."
Replies07/26/2009: Biddy from Co Kerry Ireland, Ireland replies: "Hello Ted, I am very interested in trying oil pulling for my joint pain and suspected arthritis. I have some amalgam/mercury fillings Are you saying that the oil pulling will remove these fillings? Is it dangerous to oil pull with these fillings in my mouth? Will I spread the mercury throughout my body? I am taking ACV for the past 2 weeks for the joint pain and see some improvement for sure but my right hip is still very sore at times. Also is honey an important part of the ACV cure or just a sweetener?
Thank you all for such a fabulous site
Namaste
Biddy"
EC: Hello Biddy. These questions have already been answered in the OP section http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/oil_pulling.html
and/or on the Oil Pulling Q&A page... http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/oil_pulling_questions.html
07/27/2009: Tavora from Brooklyn, NY replies: "Biddy - not sure how you feel about taking wildcrafted herbs but Solomon's Seal and Mullein leaf are exceptional for relieving (and in many cases) eliminating all sorts of musculoskeletal problems (ie joint/ligament pain, arthritis, bursitis, cervical pain, etc). Like you I have amalgam fillings but haven't had any problems with oil pulling. None have come out to date. Ted recommends if you have been exposed to heavy metals like mercury it is better to take lecithin granules as this is a fat emulsifier that can "pull" the metals out of your tissues and organs as well as bind them more efficiently so they can be removed from the body via the stool.
Please also note - lecithin aids in strengthening the liver! I have been taking it - in addition to other things - and find it helps w/ my clenching at night and low energy levels.
But do consider learning more about the herbs to help w/ your joint pain. I used to have very bad neck/shoulder pain, along w/ a pretty twisted up right knee that wouldn't straighten for anything. It made me so miserable. I've only recently started the Solomon's Seal (as a tincture - 10 drops in 4 oz of water to start 2-3 times a day on a relatively empty stomach) and NOW have ABSOLUTELY NO cramping in the right knee whatsoever!! I drink the Mullein herb as a tea (I hope its ok to share but I use the brand Alvita). The combination is Mullein leaves and flowers (which is fairly standard). If your pain is really bad - I say use the tincture because it is more medicinally potent.
But just so you know: SS is great for rebuilding and healing fractures, broken bones and strengthening the entire musculoskeletal system in general. It can decalcify unhealthy calcium deposits and increase bone density. (Horsetail Shavegrass does this too (ie bone density) but it is an herb that is recommended to be taken w/i cycles - that is 1wk on/1wk off - the literature states it can be irritating to the kidneys w/ prolonged use.) But Mullein on the other hand supports the overall integrity of the body's mucous membranes. That is, it specifically helps to hydrate the synovial fluid surrounding our joints/vertebra so that the skeletal system can begin to re-align itself in order to return to its normal & healthy position. As a result, the corresponding and adjacent muscles, tendons and ligaments begin to release any/all built-up tension. I take both because of a minor fracture I incurred from a bicycle accident couple years back...was told by a chiro that I have calcium deposits built up around my C1 and C2 vertebra.
Stay well!"

08/08/2009: Rhonda from Lakewood, Ca replies: "Will oil pulling cause my gold on-lays to come out as well? I have gold, not silver, in my mouth."
08/09/2009: Tina from The Beach, Canada replies: "i would like to assure you that i have had no trouble oil pulling with my teeth. i have two gold inlays"
[YEA] 03/20/2011: Bob from Laurel, Md replies: "You might consider continuing to use sunflower oil with the addition of 1 drop of peppermint essential oil or tea tree oil or even both. Oil pulling is great for controlling the bacteria and other pathogens in the mouth. A great way to control periodontal disease and reduce plaque significantly."
03/20/2011: Micha from Denver, Colorado replies: "Black tea and Green tea are very good for reducing mouth bacteria. Drink 2-3 cups a day. Hold it in you mouth a while before swallowing. White tea might even be better. This works."

She was so incapacitated that we thought it was Lyme Disease. From eating fish in Ventura County, California!!

Recipe is as follows as given by a physician in Japan:
1 cup of Extra Virgin organic olive oil (first cold pressed)
2 large bunches of cilantro
8 large cloves of garlic
Puree in blender and take 3 teaspoons a day.
Leaches mercury and heavy metals. Must be careful, tho, if leach out to much too fast can shut down your kidneys and liver.

[QUESTION] 06/21/2009: JMichael from SF, CA writes: "Hi. I have seen it asked a few times, with no responses from anyone: How does taking selenium to detox your body of mercury effect one's dental fillings? Will it make the fillings loose and cause them to fall out? Will it pull more mercury from the fillings to absorb into your body and defeat the purpose of trying to detox?"
Replies08/19/2009: Samlaunch from Knoxville, Tennessee replies: "I've been reading about how Selenium provides a cure for my previous thyroid problems. Began taking Selenium on June 7, 2009. I had no idea that over a lifetime mercury had been accumulating in my brain. One atom of Selenium binds with one atom of mercury to form a biologically inactive complex. Basically, Selenium neutralizes mercury. There are so many health problems that accompany mercury poisoning that we receive through vaccines and our environment. Gray hair, tachycardia, disruption of mitochondria function/neuro transmitters, destroys neurons, causes shakes, dangerous to developing babies, makes kids dumber are all affects of Mercury. I add in the part where it makes kids dumber because it really makes us all complacent and subservient. Selenium, Selenium, Selenium: get some! Neutralize the toxins, get better and smarter!!!"

[YEA] 02/27/2009: Georgia from Duluth, MN writes: "Selenium for mercury poisoning:
Selenium binds with mercury in the blood & escorts the mercury out to urine, bowels.
The amalgam fillings in the mouth releases mercury vapor & is absorbed through the saliva, open cavities,
How? Under pressure, like during chewing, the grinding process friction under certain psi (per square inch). During this process the mercury molecules goes up to the surface of the tooth causing again the Hg(mercury) to get absorbed through the food ,saliva & so we sawllow it. Imagine the accumulation each time we eat & masticate with those bony chicken. The first & foremost lethal dose of Hg poisoning is through the tooth fillings.
Search more about this topic before you take action. There is so much research supports this theory. In Europe amalgam fillings is banned since 1992.
Google Sweden Geotechnical Institute or Cecilia Toomvalii
I'd like to make it clear that when you decide to get rid of amalgam fillings, you will face a very hard decision. B4 you start the decision making, see how the specialists get the amalgam out. It is cautiously, very very intricate process. The clinic has to be ventilated, & the dentists/specialists/staff looks like astronauts. They look like they are going to another planet looking 4 for weapon of mass destruction.This is b/c of the vapor that is released, during again, the grinding.
This is not a complete protocol in the treatment of HG poisoning. Please read as much as you can. Filling it in is equally dangerous as
getting it out.
My decison was to pull them b/c they are too many.(7+ not surfaces/huge fillings.
It is a huge controversy right now but hopefully the NKIDD/NIH will get rid of it. HG+ Lead( pipes H2O) + other metals is a ticking time bomb.
I am so grateful for the sore throat, IC remedy. My deepest Gratitude to all.
A grateful dentist. I have all the symptoms due to my profession."

Under the supervision of a dentist they perform work on you at a very very cheap price. In NYC I had each filling removed for between 40-50 bucks at American dental. At the university my friend had all his fillings taken out for roughly 90 bucks and he had about 5 of them.Get that crap out of your system. The cost down the line is extremely huge."

[YEA] 09/06/2010: Lisa from Coto De Caza, Ca, Usa writes: "I've been following the Andrew Hall Cutler approach for chelating heavy metals and much of my Chronic fatigue and headaches are gone. He mentions that Alpha Lipoic Acid, DMSA, or DMPS with chelate Mercury from your body. Take small dose (25 mg) every 4 hours for 3-4 days then take 4-5 day break. It will take many rounds to get all the mercury out. Your amalgams must be out of your mouth before you do this. Before chelating with Alpha Lipoic Acid using his method and supplement ideas, I could barely get off the couch. Now after a few years, I am much more active and don't need to take naps anymore. Also, no more daily headaches and migraines only every 2 months instead of a few times a month."

TED'S REMEDY FEEDBACK

11/03/2009: Joe from Wpb, Fl writes: "Ted I switched to the use fluoride free water and toothpaste recently. How long do we need to take the borax mix 1/4 tsp in 1 ltr water, 5 days on / 2 days off, to rid body of fluoride exposure? How often do we use for prevention ? How well Does Borax help with systemic fungal issues? Does it chelate other metals or toxins?"
Replies11/03/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "A hair mineral analysis should tell you if you still have fluoride, which ideally should be below normal levels (of toxicity). None at all is best. If hair mineral analysis is not available, then some people would likely monitor their sleep cycles or their libido when deciding to take it again. Borax (boron) normalizes sleep cycles by removing fluoride from the pineal gland and it regulates sleep, but calcium is the other one that is a biomarker of aging that accumulates in the pineal gland also. Hence some magnesium may reduce that, avoiding calcium in the supplements (which are found in most of the supplements sold). Borax reduces fungal issues, as it is also used in treatment of wood to prevent fungal growth, along with the use of chromium. Hence chromium supplements maybe useful in such reduction. Another often overlooked supplements to chelate out the fluoride is the use of humic acid powder, at 1/16 to 1/8 teaspoon in a cup of water a day.The reason why I mentioned this is you asked me does it chelate other metals, hence if we are talking about the other metals, namely, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, then a good candidate is not borax, but the addition of humic acid. The humic acid has the addition of ability to chelate fluoride as well, but does not have the anti fungal properties as does borax, or the use of potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate remedies. The dose for that is 1/4 teaspoon of each taken between 2-3 times a day, preferably afternoon or after work and before sleep. As this tends to help people be more relaxed. Alkaline makes people relax, acid makes them active. The alkaline is anti-inflammatory the acid is pro-inflammatory. As to the other toxins, namely endotoxins, or chemical toxins, then ozone therapy and hydrogen peroxide generally neutralize most of that. If a person wants to know the schedule for ridding of fluoride that I used, it's between 1-3 months for the borax remedy. Thereafter, I might consider maintance dose perhaps just once to three times a week if the energy levels are low or fungal issues is presence, I will continue with the remedy, along with chromium and alkalization. Iodine is often an overlook antifungal remedy too, hence 2 drops of lugol's at least once a day with vitamin C between 500-1000 mg in form of sodium ascorbate. The vitamin C also has some antifungal properties as well. The souce of these sometimes called mycobaterium, comes from vaccinations. However they also come from peanuts, potato peels and black mold exposure from bad ventrilation system and use of carpets and rugs."

- Is the potassium bicarb and humic acid available for consumers to purchase?
- For the fungal maintance you mentioned chromium. Is chromium picolinate ok and how much?
I do have Lugol's Iodine from Walgreen's. Is this ok to use or do i have to dilute it ? Do you suggest taking the vit C 500 or 1000mg in powdered form mixed with the water or capsule and swallow with the Iodine water mix ?
Would Fulvic acid get the same results as humic acid powder mix to chelate metals?
I could take the EDTA for high cadmium and lead exposure that was confirmed but at what dosage and for how long ?
You mentioned before that fungals can be stubborn and can use metals for refuge. Would it be easier to rid the body of either one first ?"
11/04/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "- Is the potassium bicarb and humic acid available for consumers to purchase?I haven't been to the U.S. for a long time, but it seems some people were able to get it. I purchased both humic acid
and potassium bicarbonate from a chemical supplier. Humic acid is sometimes available
plant nursery shops. The potassium bicarbonate is pharmaceutical grade.- For the fungal maintance you mentioned chromium. Is chromium picolinate ok and how much?
Some people have side effects (nerviousness) or shaking hands from chromium picolinate. I prefer
chromium chloride, chromium polynicotinate. However, if there's no problem regarding picolinate
on those issues, is fine.I do have Lugol's Iodine from Walgreen's. Is this ok to use or do i have to dilute it ? Do you suggest taking the vit C 500 or 1000mg in powdered form mixed with the water or capsule and swallow with the Iodine water mix ?
Most lugol's solution is fine, but the labels should say potassium iodide, and iodine as their ingredients. Lugol's solution is put into a cup of warm water 1-2 drops. Then vitamin C 1000 mg capsule, but I much prefer powdered as it goes to the bloodstream faster.
Would Fulvic acid get the same results as humic acid powder mix to chelate metals?Most research of chelation is centered around humic acid more so the fulvic acid. As to which one
are the best, I just take both.I could take the EDTA for high cadmium and lead exposure that was confirmed but at what dosage and for how long ?
The dose I take if 1/10 of the ones they sell commercially, and the type I used is either disodium edta, buffered with baking soda, or tetrasodium EDTA. They seem to chelate better, but other forms of EDTA is fine, if the dose is between 25-100 mg. dissovled in a liter of drinking water.
You mentioned before that fungals can be stubborn and can use metals for refuge. Would it be easier to rid the body of either one first ?
Fungus are lodged in calcium and heavy metals, but also exists in acid pH. Hence, metal chelation, reduction of calcium (from disodium EDTA), and the use of alkaline remedy, such as 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate in a cup of warm water taken twice a day is also needed. It's very toxic for the fungus, especially the alkaline, and specifically the potassium, but to maintain normal sodium/potassium balance, both is taken. Hence, a multiple approach (chromium, alkaline, boron, chelation, etc.) is best to discourage their growth. Most important in practice is the alkalinity, which has an effect of removal of heavy metals and alkalinity that kills the fungus. The reason is simple: alkaline solution are soapy and metals are hygroscopic, which makes them soluble in metal, allowing their removal faster. It also reduces excess calcium buildup in tissues owing in fact to the alkaline remedy's ability to act as a surfactant, much like a detergent, so the calcium as well as other heavy metals do not lodge themselves in the tissues."
11/05/2009: Joe from Wpb, Florida replies: "TED Thank You for explaining thingsIs ok to use combination of Antifungals at same time (alkalize mix twice a day , borax ¼ tsp in 1 Ltr water, Lugol's iodine 1 or 2 drops with Vit C powder in water once per day ? Do these antifungal / bacterias eliminate the good bacteria flora in the GI too ? Just wondering if probiotics would be needed afterward.
Note: I have a Walgreen's Brand Iodine listed as : active ingredients iodine 2 %, Ingreients: Alcohol 47% by volume, deonized water, and sodium iodine 2.4%. Is this OK to use ?
I do have sodium bicarb, sodium carb, potassium bicarb. Is it safe to use all 3 together in glass of water for alkalizing daily ? Would this be the best overall alkalizing powder mix ? Is it safe to use long-term for our bodies and organs with-out checking ph ? I'm guilty of an acidic meals at times and thought maybe alkalizing soon after having this type of meal to buffer it's affect on body's ph. On the other hand do you suggest to drink lots of sea salt water instead and just take the other alkalizing mix twice a day for general alkalizing ?
Note the potassium bicarbonate I purchased online where it's made in USA by a garden supplier. They sell it to be me mixed with gallons of water and sprayed on plants. Do I have to be concerned about this substances purity or is potassium bicarbonate not know to carry traces of other material that can be harmful?Next sodium carbonate . Do I have to be concerned about this substances purity or is sodium carbonate not know to carry traces of other material that can be harmful? The sodium carbonate was purchased online made USA for Soda Ash Dye usage.
Thanks Again Ted."

[QUESTION] 10/02/2009: Jacob from Austin, Tx writes: "Mercury Chelation:
I am confused as to how chelation of mercury toxicity should be carried out. Ted recommends EDTA, cilantro, and oil pulling. Andy Cutler's famous protocol says that chelation methods such as EDTA are harmful and perhaps dangerous. Can someone help clarify before I make a potentially hazardous mistake?"

Side effects and safety concerns
There is a low occurrence of side effects when chelation is used at the dose and infusion rates approved by the U.S. FDA as a treatment for heavy metal poisoning. A burning sensation at the site of delivery into the vein is common. Other side effects include fever, headache, nausea, stomach upset, vomiting, convulsions, bone marrow depression (dropping blood cell counts), a drop in blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory arrest, and hypocalcemia. Other concerns include kidney failure, which can require permanent life-limiting and expensive dialysis, or cause death.[19]
2007 research with lab rats indicates giving chelating agent DMSA to rats without high levels of lead may cause lasting cognitive damage. [33]
When EDTA is not administered by a health professional for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning more serious side effects can occur.[2]
Chelation therapy can be hazardous, even conducted with the FDA-approved chelation agents. In August 2005, botched chelation therapy conducted by an ACAM member killed a 5-year-old autistic boy,[16] a 3-year-old nonautistic girl died in February 2005, and a nonautistic adult died in August 2003. These deaths were due to cardiac arrest caused by hypocalcemia during chelation therapy.[34] Only the 3-year-old girl had been medically assessed and found to have an elevated blood lead level and resulting low iron levels and anemia, a proper medical cause for chelation therapy to be conducted.[35]
More than 30 deaths have been recorded in association with IV-administered disodium EDTA since the 1970s.

11/01/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "The EDTA I used is 1/10 of the dose what they use in alternative medicine. What happens if you put one drop of EDTA in a swimming pool? Would that kill you? It is very unlikely. The issue is one of concentration.The other issue is the seriousness of the condition. If a person is dying from metastatic cancer, EDTA is required to get blood circulation to normal...
I joined an autistic forum where they used Andy Culter's method and none of the autistic are cured. Of course a few that did my protocol were mostly cured and many are now living normal lives. One of the problems of Andy Culter's method is it causes mercury deposition on the brain whenever you take alpha lipoic acid. This makes the mercury deposition permanent. This fact is known in biochemistry and may cause permanent mercury poisoning if mercury is indeed deposited. The other thing is the chemical he used for chelation has a known side effect. EDTA has the least. If you want someting even a lot less controversial, I would likely try a good humic acid powder. No not the kind you find in mud or wells but the kind that are extracted properly from a known humic acid peat sources, where it is referred to as sodium humate, or just humates. Humates are can also pull out mercury, lead and cadmium. The dose is simply, 1/8 teaspoon of humic acid in a cup of water. An autistic will have a very bad fecal odor and hence toxicity. With humic acid, the odor is reduced, and the toxicity of autotoxicity (from fermentation of the intestines) is also reduced.
One of the people who was in the forum asked all forum members how many were cured with Andy Cutler's method. Not one was cured or was helped in that forum. Since I have other people with serious illness and the ADHD, who were helped with my remedy, I see no need in pursuing that, because of lack of time and other serious diseasees I have to find remedies for, such as chikungunya, swine, antibiotic chlamydia, and the recent one...Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome."

ZEOLITE
03/07/2010: Eveline from Toronto, Ontario, Canada writes: "I'm interested to find out if anyone is using zeolite for safely removing heavy metals and toxins (like chelation therapy but done at home). I have been taking this for about 10 days and they say you need to give it 90 days to really realize results. I would love to hear from our EC community about people's experience with this. Thanks. Eveline"

I'm consuming 10 drops 3x a day. I've talked to several health care professionals who swear by zeolite for detoxing."
01/23/2011: Jessaka from Tahlequah, Ok replies: "This is scary. I have about 16 mercury fillings, and I have been using Alpha Lipoic Acid for years as recommended by my doctor, but not for mercury poisoning. Can I expect to never get mercury out of my brain? I can't afford to have my fillings removed. What about juicing with cilantro daily? Wouldn't that safely remove mercury from the body?"
02/01/2011: Robin from Melbourne, Australia replies: "I have been detoxing for years - its very confusing and theres so much conflicting info. I can see from hair analysis all metals have halved BUT that is disappointing for how much detox Ive done. I think a lot of them dont take it out of the body safely, stirs it all up and it reabsorbs elsewhere. Zeolite - I had a pre & post urine test. It showed no metals coming out. Therefore I dont believe it works. Does anyone have any info on alpha lipoic acid as sherry rogers recommends in detox or die?"
02/27/2011: William from Charleston, Sc, Usa replies: "The cheapest method for chelating according to Dr. Bate is with Vitamin C. He says it acts as a chelator of all minerals, the good and the bad. For each 50 lbs of a person's weight one should take 1 gram of Vitamin C. I tried this recently and had a bad headache in the night, but the next day woke with more clarity, like something has been lifted. I was also chewing one garlic clove a day and eating liver detoxing foods like grapefruit and apple juice.
I believe the Vitamin C and the zeolite worked best for me. Also it is best to take Vitamin C by itself so it won't deplete the other vitamins or medications you may be taking. Wait up to four hours before taking your multi-vitamin (which you probably should take to restore mineral balance) or medication. Dr. Bate said if a man weighs 200lbs than he should take 2 grams in morning and 2 grams in the evening.
It also helps to align our lives with God's Word, so that when we pray to Him, he will recieve our prayer. It is said that the Lord hears the prayers of the righteous. Some of us can have miraculous healing, but maybe others will be lead to the right road for healing. God Bless you all. Make sure you believe in your heart that you are healing. Just Believe."
