Many things can be out of whack when you are poisoned.  I would suggest reading
some of David Sherratt Johnson's posts, I think some are saved in the links
section, under member posts, and consider other things, like doing food allergy
testing, etc.  Other thoughts are how is your blood sugar control, and what are
your ferritin levels?  Many of us are anemic/have low ferritin, *because* we are
toxic.  If you have HTI, read about iron in there, as Andy explains this very
well.  So you may actually need alot more antioxidants, especially Vit C, to
help correct this, plus chelation.  Another thought, have you tested your
testosterone levels?

How long have you been on adrenal and thyroid support?  I recall Linda and
Stephanie both saying they slept *alot* when they first got on adrenal support,
kinda like their bodies needed it, and could finally do it.  So this may pass in
time too, if that is the case.

So there are probably still lots of possibilities, and you'll have to keep
trying things, to see if something helps.  Did your hair test show
malabsorption, and are you taking any digestive aids?------Jackie

trying, and other supps that Andy recommends in AI or in his post on depression,
which also covers anxiety, etc.  Andy mentions lots of supps for different
conditions, knowing that different things might work for different people.  So
he doesn't intend that everyone needs to take all of those supps, but gives you
a number of options to try, to hopefully find something that works for you. 
Some of it is just trial and error, and some may not really improve until you
chelate enough.-------Jackie

--------I recall a couple people from the UK getting testing done thru Dr.

-------I'm not saying you have a thyroid problem for sure, just mentioning that
it can be a cause of depression.  And I think with a mixture of adrenal and
thyroid problems, which many of us have, you can get a variety of symptoms. 
Also, have you done a hair test?  If so, was your lithium levels low?  That can
also affect your mood.----Jackie

------Yes, that is what Andy says.  He says your hair test will normalize, and
you'll feel fine/good long before you're done, so to keep going for awhile.  And
he also says that after you quit, if symptoms start returning then you are not
done.  Or take a 6 month break, and then try a few rounds of chelation again,
and see if you get any symptoms from a round.  The more metals you remove, the
better.------Jackie

Some people need to eat lots of sulfur foods to increase their level of thiols.
Some people need to avoid them because their thiol level is too high. Others
need a moderate amount of sulfur foods to stay in a good range of thiols.

A dairy-based acidophilus might be okay for the people who need lots of thiols.
Others would be better off with a non-dairy acidophilus.



> I believe Andy said that Acidophilus is a high sulfur food, that's why i

Can you link a post where he said that?

My recollection is there are dairy and non-dairy versions of acidophilus. It has
to do with the culture base used to grow the probiotics.

Hi Linda,

Yes, I have other symptoms of hypothyroidism. I currently waiting for some blood
test results from my doctor... But in the past, I've had TSH and free t4 tested,
and it looks like I have hypothyroidism. I'm not on treatment for it.

I'm aware that hypoT can cause hair loss. But if it's due to hypoT, why would
molybdenum trigger it? (Does molybdenum affect the thyroid somehow?) My hair
loss is definitely due to, or triggered by, the molybdenum.

Thanks.

Fatigue often indicates adrenal insufficiency.

The adrenal insufficiency (when severe enough) must be treated before the
hypothyroidism.

When the hypothyroidism is secondary (ie originates from improper signaling from
the brain rather than from the thyroid), TSH is an useless test.  Free T3 and
free T4 are helpful, but they need to be in the top 1/4 or 1/3 of the normal
range in order to be optimal.  Doctors will say that these tests are fine
because they are in the normal range, but the person still has hypothyroid
symptoms because they are not optimal.  Other tests to consider are anti thyroid
antibodies.

Worsening of symptoms is typical if the person has adrenal insufficiency and the
thyroid is treated before the adrenals are treated adequately.

The anxiety is one symptom that is consistent with adrenal insufficiency
(believe me, I have both adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism)

Adequate levels of cortisol are needed for healing.  It is possible that your
levels are not adequate and your body is having trouble healing from the removal
of metals.

If you can, get a 4x per day saliva cortisol test, with DHEA.  Be sure to take
the saliva on a day when you are having symptoms, ie on a day when fatigued
(usually after a couple of busy days).  Consider testing and optimizing other
hormones, like testosterone, as well.

After the test, see if you can find a doctor who would give you a therapeutic
trial of physiological doses of cortisol.  You might be able to find a doctor
through the few we have listed in the files section, or through the search
engine at www.endfatigue.com

The books "From Fatigued to Fantastic" by Teitelbaum and "Safe Uses of Cortisol"
by Jefferies and Andy's "Amalgam Illness" all describe how to treat both the
adrenals and the thyroid.

If you can't get prescription cortisol, consider using HC cream, available over
the counter, rotating the sites of application.  See a post from Andy in the
links section about dosing it.

Also consider DHEA and pregnenolone, dosed as suggested in "Amalgam Illness".

The organic form gets into the brain easily, where it is converted to the
inorganic form, which doesn't leave the brain much without chelation.

Try restricting sulfur foods for a week or so, then challenging with lots of
sulfur foods and see your reaction.  If not clear, try again.  If you are sulfur
food intolerant, don't supplement NAC.  You can still supplement glycine and
glutamine.

The methyl mercury will change to the inorganic form.

Glutathione doesn't chelate metals out of the body.  it only has one thiol
group, so acts like a sulfur food.  Glutathione does have many roles in the
body.  One way to boost levels is to supplement more antioxidants.

Seeing as you have only been sick for 3 years, and you are able to chelate at
decent doses, I really think that you have a good chance of getting better soon.

There may be other factors besides adrenal insufficiency.  "From Fatigued to
Fantastic" is a good resource.  If you don't think adrenal insufficiency fits,
ask Andy, the ultimate resource.

Hi all,

I started taking molybdenum, 1000 mcg/day, a couple weeks ago. A couple days
after I started it, I began losing hair. Everytime I run my hands through my
hair, a couple strands of hair come out.

I have had very mild hair loss in the past -- mostly at my temples -- no doubt
caused by high androgen levels (I have other symptoms of hyperandrogenism). But
the molybdenum-induced hair loss is at the back of my head.

It's unfortunate because molybdenum has helped me significantly. I used to have
chronic allergy symptoms -- mainly hives and sneezing. These have disappeared on
molybdenum. I have reason to believe these symptoms were due to Candida
overgrowth/Candida allergy... and molybdenum apparently detoxifies the toxic
stuff that Candida produces.

If I reduce the dosage to 500 mcg/day, my hives and sneezing return.

I know that molybdenum reduces copper absorption, and I have read that a copper
deficiency can cause hair loss. But I am hesitant to take copper since Andy
recommends against it, and I know that I used to have copper toxicity. I had one
symptom: low bile flow/gallbladder pain and constipation after eating fat. This
resolved very quickly after increasing my zinc from 15 mg to 50 mg. I no longer
have this problem at all, even if I skip taking zinc.

My diet is actually quite low in copper (I happen to be allergic to most
high-copper foods). I think I get maybe 1 mg/day at the most (RDI is 2 mg). I
wonder if taking 1000 mcg of molybdenum, and 50 mg of zinc, along with a
low-copper diet, has pushed my copper too low? Should I try taking a low dose
(maybe 1 mg/day or every other day) and see if it helps the hair loss?

I can't find any other reason that molybdenum would cause hair loss. I haven't
heard of it interfering with absorption of any other minerals. Does anyone else
have any ideas?

Thanks.

Leah.

I can still donate in between rounds?  I'm chelating every week, 3 days on, 4

Hi Steven,
I just  started  taking  high  doses of  some of the  B vitamins.  I  went  from
being crushingly  fatigued and fearing  I would  pass out  to  doing  a  two
hour hike yesterday   within  a period of  only a week  of  being on them.!!!! 
WOW   how lucky.. and what  a  good poster person I  would be  for the vitamin
companies. If  you get the right  supplement  it  can  make all the difference
in the world.

   I was  undoubtedly  deficient  as my digestion  has  been  sooo  compromised 
from all of the  food  allergies, poor  organ  function  which I did not  notice
until  my 20s  . That crushing fatigue  did  hit me  all of  a sudden{ one 
minute  I felt  energy , then  next  I felt  like  a blob of  lead]  when I had
my  health take a  nose dive in 1975. So it  does not take alot  at times  to 
change the balance needed  in our bodies  for proper  energy supply..

Everyone is  different  , unfortunately.  so  you have  to experiment  with the 
different supplements and diets.  Other things  that I found helpful for my 
energy is  more salt,  coq10 and  carnitine  for my heart health.  .

Anything with milk or made from milk is high in sulfur.

If you react to sulfur foods, avoid it.

Here is the list in the file section from Andy on basics.  Everyone is different
and needs need to be be met individually.

Buffered vitamin C 1/2 to 2 grams 4 times a day

B complex equivalent to "b25" or "b50" 4 times a day

Zinc 50-100 mg

Magnesium 500-1000 mg in divided doses

Milk thistle extract 4 times a day preferably w/meals
(equivalent to 250-750 mg silymarin)

Vitamin E 1000-3000 IU daily

Mixed carotenes, lycopene, etc.

flax 1-2 2/3 tbsp = 15-50g

borage oil 1-4grams

Selenium 200 mcg as selenomethionine.

Chromium picolinate 200 mcg with every meal.

Molybdenum about 1000 mcg a day.

CoQ10 100-400mg

Hydergine 10-20mg/day


As for my amalgams I had mine all removed (12)and that process took a year.  I
had an all low mineral pattern.  I take the following:

acidophilus - had no good bacteria based on stool sample testing
5HTP
8000 mg Vit C -divided into 4
400 mg magnesium
700 mg of calcium
100 mg b complex
multi vitamin 4x a day
niacidamide 500 mg 4x a day(I have a fast phase one liver)
milk thistle 150 mg 3x a day
chromium 200 mg 3 x a day
zinc 25 mg 2x a day
Adrenal extract 165 mg tabs - 1 1/2 am, 2 tabs at lunch, 1/2 at night

That is it for me.  I have tried Molybdenum and couldn't not handle it.  I tried
EFA, can't do those either.  Can't handle vit E.

I have a salicylate sensitivity so I have to be careful what supplements I can
take.

Hope this is helpful.

a sudden, then I noticed this seeming to happen every time I drove.  Then trees
seemed to be coming off the side of the roads at me............ I stopped
driving then as I was getting nervous.

This experience even happened as a passenger and so I would wear sunglasses and
keep my eyes shut all the way to the destination. No one noticed that I 'wasnt
looking'.

Yes you do or you could cause severe damage to yourself. i didnt

then it went into my brain.

The side effects are easier to cope with, ALA crosses the blood brain
barrier and so it's better to get the body burden of metal down 1st
before getting it out of the brain.

Yes you have to, or else new mercury will keep entering your body while you try
to get rid of the old mercury.

>

The body slowly (as in years) gets rid of the mercury, and some of it basically
stays there (such as the brain mercury) for the rest of your life.  Chelation
can speed it up so it only takes a few years to get rid of the body mercury and
brain mercury.

>

You want to start chelating your body first, before using ALA to chelate your
brain.  The reason is that when you take ALA, the mercury flows from high
concentration to low concentration... kind of like the wind flows from high
pressure to low pressure.  If you have a lot of mercury in your body but only a
little in your brain, the ALA can cause MORE mercury to enter the brain, which
makes you worse.  If you have more in your brain and less in your body, the ALA
will reduce the brain burden while the other stuff (DMSA/DMPS) is helping to
carry the mercury out of your body.

With those tests in mid range, you aren't hyperthyroid

TSH can be low when the hypothyroidism is secondary (problem in the messages

These can be symptoms of other things.

Do you have other adrenal insufficiency symptoms?  A 4x/day cortisol saliva test
might be helpful.  Have you been tested or have symptoms of hypoglycemia?

I'm just wondering if anyone has used tryptophan as a supplement to help you
sleep. I've really gone through the list but I haven't tried tryptophan since I
eat plenty of turkey...but I was just reading that the protein would stop any
sleep effects from the tryptophan.
 
As usual, I'm desperate for sleep so it's truly one of the last I haven't tried.
 
So if anyone has experience with it, for us mercury toxic people in desperate
need for sleep, please tell me if you found it helpful or not. For myself, it's
the hardest symptom I deal with. I'm just so tired of being - tired.
 
Thanks everyone.

I thought I posted the info about Vermox.  Maybe I forgot to send or maybe it is
lost in transit.

Vermox (mebendazole) is pretty darned safe.  I would use it over the hit/miss
tinctures out there like those advocated by Hulda Clark, but that is me.  The
number of symptoms linked to parasitic infestations are staggering.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/drug-information/DR600879

You do not need to do any candida or colon cleanse before tackling parasites. 
Actually, ridding a body of parasites might help with candida.  Testing stools
for parasites tends to be unreliable.  What I found with my son is that his
eosinophils (bloodwork) were greatly elevated when he was infested.  Any chance
you have a recent blood panel?  Elevated eos can indicate parasites or allergy.

And, biggest thing of all, you might not get a great deal of relief/recovery
until you remove those amalgams and start chelating.  That I cannot predict or
guarantee, but mercury toxicity can really do a number on adrenals, digestion,
etc.

Good luck to you!

-------------------------

   Absolutely -- you're not getting the nutrients your body needs when you're
suffering from malabsorbtion.  Lots of us here can't eat gluten - sugar isn't a
great idea either.  If you clean up your diet - no gluten,sugar and anything
else you may be allergic too (eggs?) - you will notice a marked improvement in
your health.  But it may take a couple of months so you've got be patient and
stick with the diet.

You do not have to deal with yeast overgrowth before dealing with parasites or
vice versa.  Vermox is a prescription anti-parasitic here in the USA.  Drug name
is Mebendazole.  Very safe.  For that reason, I am not a fan of the hit-miss
tinctures like those marketed by Hulda Clark.

Do you have to remove all amalgam fillings before
chelation?  It's so expensive and will take awhile to do.

What happens as far as mercury redistribution during the period
we don't take the chelator?

Why do we have to wait to take the alph lipoic acid?
