[T]he first time I increased my dose frequency (round 5), I went from 8 doses to 10 doses per 24 hours. I should have reduced my dose amounts (but didn’t do my research) and got into trouble. In round 15, I went from 8 doses per 24 hours to 9 doses and increased my dose […]
Omega-3, my curse or linchpin?
[F]ish oil has been a problem for me over the past five years or so. Actually, it’s not really fish oil but omega-3 essential fatty acids from any source. Omega-3s in relatively low quantities (as in eating a small piece of salmon three days in a row) have given me many nights of insomnia. So […]
Ready for dose increase
[M]y 14th round was very long, a record for me at 12 days. Based on the prior round I expected to feel better than I did. After the first day of side effects, I settled into a state of mild apathy and slowness or confusion. Also did not experience any of the euphoria that I […]
Stumped by my DW’s hair test…
[W]hen I opened my dear wife’s (DW) hair test results a few minutes ago I was relieved and a little surprised. It looks like she doesn’t meet any of the counting rules according to HTI. But, she had a mouthful of mercury fillings removed a couple years ago and still has some mysterious health complaints […]
Thank you for my headache!
[N]ever been as pleased with a headache before. After seven days off-round, I was so anxious to get started again that I couldn’t wait for Monday morning, so I started chelating at 8 PM on Sunday. By 10 PM I had a beautiful frontal headache that filled me with joy. Having just discovered my heavy […]
Short or long rounds?
[W]hen I first started chelating, I would have more energy on the first day and then the sleep interruptions would pull me back down to about even on the second day. The third day I was dragging and really grateful the round was ending. Somewhere along the way, I started noticing that my third days […]
Power surge!
[L]ast night, something very unusual happened. When I lay down to sleep right after taking my 11 PM chelation dose, I realized within a couple minutes that my energy level was way too high. My first thought was that I had finally hit the wall with my fish oil titration. I had just increased my […]
Break on through to the other side?
[S]ometimes supplements crucial to our recovery cause unpleasant “startup reactions”. I’ve learned that through my research on methylation and my experiments with the supplements. Starting yesterday I made the bold decision to to try to break on through to the other side of my brain fog reaction with vitamin B6. Let me explain. Here’s a […]
My toxic and essential elements hair test
[M]y hair test results just arrived (shown below) and they confirm what my urine challenge test revealed. I’m toxic. [update: 1-year follow-up test here] [update: 2-year follow-up test here] [update: 2.5-year follow-up test here] [update: 3-year follow-up test here] Looking at it and reading the commentary beneath it puts a little fear and loathing into […]
What does healing feel like?
[I]nstead of screwing around here, maybe I should be working now. But I hate to leave anything unsaid when it comes to chelation and my recovery. After 12 years of being ill I think I’m entitled to indulge myself with a little obsession. My notes for this round are at the bottom but to summarize, […]
Meet Patti who recovered fully from mercury poisoning
I want you to meet Patti Pili who recovered from a severe case of mercury poisoning acquired from dental amalgams. Her recovery process started in 2009 when she had her amalgams removed and following Andy Cutler’s chelation protocol she recovered fully by 2012. This is a dynamite recovery story that will inspire and motivate you […]
Charting my temperatures – accurately this time
[M]y first attempt at charting temperatures was completely botched. It seems that my temperature readings were being affected by mouth-breathing previous to using the thermometer and by drinking water or brushing teeth. I’m being more careful now and this chart is accurate. I’m getting more data as well by using Excel to keep track of […]
How to beat exercise intolerance?
[T]oday I ran on the treadmill for 60 seconds. Awesome, huh? I saw this piece in the New York Times about the four minute workout and decided it was time for me to try it out. So, 60 seconds of running at a 6.0 pace on the treadmill and it felt great. I haven’t run […]
The big vacation and the meltdowns
[T]oday, I’m chelating again after taking a month off. The first week I took off for business reasons, the second because I was advised that I’m making too many changes too quickly with supplements, the third week for preparing for my first overseas trip in seven years and the fourth week was my big family […]
From blind rage to gratitude
[D]riving my daughter to ride this morning, she hit play on the Richard Thompson CD and when “Don’t Tempt Me” played, a flash of blind rage came over me for having spent the last 10 years like a caged animal. That’s probably a sign of healing because it takes strength to feel rage. Years ago […]
