DMSA is the chelating agent I have been taking. I decided to do the good doc's heavy dosing route because the chiro admitted it would work faster. I had to take 4 doses for three days in a row. I started yesterday. The plan was to take one pill with breakfast and lunch and two with dinner. By the time dinner rolled around I felt flushed, my face was red and I could feel the heat coming out of my head. I took the third (and fourth) dose anyway. By the time I went to bed at 10 I was hotter than hell and I felt like I was breathing after staying in the sauna too long. I tried to sleep but I was haunted by bizarre dreams in which either I was seeing other people's sick colored aura's (which were quite evil and upsetting) or I was looking at my own photos and colored atmosphere starts emanating out of them, and sometimes they match my take on the photo but sometimes what is coming off of them is disturbing and I don't understand how my photos can be interpreted like that- either way I toss and turn all night long, can't shake this horrible feeling of either dream, and at some point end up with a headache, sore neck, and covered in sweat. I wake up sometime in the 5's and realize that I still can't breathe easily, my forehead is pounding, my back hurts and both of my cheeks feel as if I've been to the dentist and the novacaine is just starting to wear off. I lied in bed wondering if there is any chance I could have toxic shock syndrome instead of what it obviously was.
Change of plans.
I'm going with the chiro's slow but steady heavy metal detox now. It took me to this evening to feel fine. I wasn't about to go anywhere near the DMSA today. I had had enough. I'd like to stay in this dizzy free place right now. If I thought I could stop the world and go to bed for 3 or 4 days every two weeks to do the good doc's method I might consider it. That is not going to happen. I am going to hop into a steaming hot mineral salt bath and try to gently soak some of those heavy metals out through my pores now.
I have a feeling this is going to take way longer than I realized.
I can do it. right? Slow and steady wins the race. Right?
Dang..that sounds hellish. But it does sound like you have some stuff in there that needs to evacuate. Slow and steady sounds like a plan that is the most realistic.
Do a google search for a clorox bath. It sounds weird...I know...but it can be a good detox. Ann Louise Gittleman talks about it in one of her fat flush books. I am sure you can get more info with google...and..also make sure it does not interact badly with anything else you are doing!! (lord) Hang in there. A pure clean toxic-free you is coming soon...right?

Glad you're feeling better after that scary episode, click - sounds like something the Mad Hatter would experience. Hope today is muuuuuuuch better.
Of course you can do it!
And slow and steady WILL win the race!
