I'm about to lose it with all the conflicting opinions about chelation for heavy metals.

The last topic thread that I read there were several doing DMSA detox, but not with any relief of symptoms. Has anyone found relief of symptoms with DMSA chelation?

I have seen so much stuff out there about the urine toxic metal screen (especially when provoked) is a scam and seen many testimonials from patients that actually got worse with chelation.

Kind of scary to feel like you are getting worse and are stuck in between conflicting opinion not just about lyme but also heavy metals.

My LLND had me do a provoked urine test for heavy metals. I had a very unusual reaction....either to the DMSA or EDTA. I had asked before, and she assured me that no one had had a bad reaction to the test before. But I tend to be so much more sensitive than most people...so....

I got really sick after that. I looked to cilantro tincture and chlorella from BioPure. And I've had some improvements. It hasn't been easy, and I have had a bunch of other stuff going on the past few days. I have my follow up next week, and I'll post how that goes.

One of the most important things is to get amalgam fillings out....and have a biological dentist do the removal. There's an association of biological dentists, and there's a dentist finder on their site. Be sure to have them do the removal with precautions, since they'll protect you from more mercury exposure.

Yes, I went through metals chelation the summer '14', and it WAS HORRIBLE. MY 1st provoked test by Drs Data, revealed HIGH for lead, aluminum, and mercury. I had once weekly IV E.D.T.A. w/dmps added every 3rd for addressing the mercury. The treatments caused SEVERE muscle cramps, so I had magnesium & B12 I.V.'s

After 3 months of treatments off-n-on, I finally said, "ENOUGH"! MY husband was not supportive due to all of his online research. He said my LLND was a quack!

Anyway, I retested and my levels were STILL HIGH so I had to chelate by oral supplementation, of which I took a product call HM chelate for 6vmonths, which was obviiously working because I STILL HAD muscle cramps. I havnt been chelating for almost 1year now. I dont have muscle cramps but still have muscle aching and spasms!

My LLND retired last October and I had a 2nd appt w/new ND today who didnt respond to my inquiry on the topic of metals chelation.

Oh also, I did have all my amalgams removed w/exception of three crowns that cannot be removed.

Did my chelation treatment help? Thats the million $ question since I still have immune system dysfunction!

Wow. I am shocked by the seeming preponderance of heavy metals "toxicity" in the community and the seeming lack of improvement with chelation. Lends credibility to this author's take on heavy metal screening. I plan to show this article to my LLMD tomorrow. Will update his opinions and our discussion tomorrow for anyone interested.
