My doc recommended "Lipophos EDTA" - (about a tenth of the usual dosage) to begin chelating my heavy metal load.
I'm concerned about still having amalgams in my mouth,but he said that EDTA does not chelate mercury.
Does anyone have any experience or research on this ?
Thank you all.

thejoje - Do you have some other heavy metal issue that's over-riding mercury concerns; lead perhaps? If not, then, what's the use in chelating if mercury isn't being affected?
I'm asking because I also have amalgams and am detoxing. Always trying to gather more info.

Ping, I have received the international gold medal for human being most jam-packed with heavy metals --among which are Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, Thallium (off the charts), and last but not least, Uranium (pretty close to the edge of the charts.)
How is your detox going? Are you chelating?

OMG thejoje, how rough it must be for you! I'm surprised you can even function! I'm pretty sure I couldn't.
Compared to you, my detox, well, can't compare... I'm having my amalgams removed, no more than 2 at a time, with at least a 90 day interval, until done.
Only thing I'm doing to cushion the removals is binders to carry the Hg toxins out, no chelating until well after all amalgams are removed and my body can handle it. Then, I'm starting chelation with cilantro. No plans past that. Will have to find out how I respond at that point.
Hang in there joje, my gosh! Thallium & Uranium!? How did that come about? I mean, if it's enough to show up in testing, then, yours must be an industrial exposure? (I work in a refinery...)

thejoje - I know the Allergie-Immun thread is a long one but you might want to read it over.
This is based on DNA testing and they find that all of us (except one person I know), due to inherited dysregulations, do not even recognize many metals as toxic.
This was true for me and it was the Allergie-Immun therapy that finally allowed me to start releasing metals. I had been packing them away for many years.

NanaD, Had you been trying to chelate before doing the AI?
Hey, I'm from Maine too! Our power had been out a couple of days and I just saw your post.

I really would not chelate with amalgams in the mouth. The risk of pulling that mercury into your body is just too high IMO.

What would you do if your gas stove leaked gas into the kitchen and family room? Would you open the windows to let the stink out or would you turn off the stove?
Metallic mercury from out-gassing amalgam fillings (which is changed to methyl mercury by bowel microbes!!!) is found in the thalamus, pituitary, hypothalamus and more.... Methyl mercury is much more difficult to detox from the brain -------

I read in Dr. K's writings that Cilantro works well, but that you need Chlorella with it because the Cilantro releases so much metal that the body needs big time help binding it for removal.
I plan on doing the same soon. My whole mouth is one big metal container.

If you use cilantro tincture too early in the detox phase, you can run into problems. The lower body part, gut, etc has to be treated first before adding cilantro which crosses the bbb and brings down more from the brain and cns.
There is a definite order in which to address metal toxin mobilization.
