Cooking Traditional Foods

I bit the bullet and started OSR today. The child doseage, 1/16 tsp, stirred into some peanut butter. It didn’t taste nearly as bad as I expected, I was able to get it down without problems. A full adult dose is 1/8 tsp, and I’ll gradually work up to that. One vial is 72 full doses.

So now the wait begins to see what’s going to happen, and if I’m going to go backward and get sicker, have fun things like Candida and other weirdness pop out, regress back into food allergies, have severe digestive issues, and the like. I’ve read all can happen while chelating. Some people have it happen the first 6 months, for others it starts after 6 months, but loosing gains is common while you pull out mercury. Even those who are in good health and decide to chelate preemptively after amalgam removal have this happen, so it’s no indication that you’re not eating right or not doing something else right- it’s part of the healing process from mercury removal. I’ve yet to meet someone who chelated and only went upwards in their progress without any regression. My hope is that I don’t regress into food allergies while getting the mercury out. I’ve been down that road and I’m ready to move on. Some people have brain fog, neurological symptoms, and other such fun while chelating. We’re praying that all of this will be kept to a minimum and the chelation will progress quickly and smoothly, so I can regain my health quickly. Most people say they feel much better after 6 months, even though they don’t have a complete resolution of symptoms in that time. A complete resolution of all symptoms takes 1-3 years, and some never reach that point.

I’ve started some supplements to take while chelating to help preemptively deal with what might happen. To prevent Candida, I’m working up to high doses of S. boulardii along with my probiotics. I already eat a relatively sweetener-free diet, so I won’t change what I’m eating unless I see it’s necessary. For the potential regression into food allergies, L-glutamine, digestive enzymes and pascalite clay.

My current list of daily supplements:

Dr. Ron’s calcium

Magnesium

Sodium Ascorbate and bioflavinoids

L-glutamine

Milk Thistle, since chelating can be hard on the liver

Trace Minerals

Tiny Tabs multivitamin

S. Bouladrii and Ultimate Flora 50 billion probiotic

Cod Liver Oil

Butter oil

Digestive Enzymes

Pascalite Clay

Zinc

CoQ10

Selenium

Lugols

Castor Oil packs as needed to help support the liver’s clearing of toxins

Charcoal as needed for die-off or toxicity issues

Once my lab results are back, we’ll add others like B-vitamins and whatever else the tests show I need. By looking at my fingernails, we know I’m B-12 deficient, and we know my test results show that as well.

I’m still reeling from that food exposure last week with a headache, backache and constant stomachache. So while I can’t say that I feel good, at least the OSR hasn’t given me a worsening of symptoms. Yet. I have a feeling I need to get strapped in because it’s going to be a bumpy ride. I’ve yet to meet someone who chelated and only went upwards in their progress without any regression, either periodic or at the beginning.

My long-range plan right now is to use OSR for a period of 6-9 months, then re-evaluate and possibly switch to ALA/DMSA in cycles per Cutler’s protocol, if it’s needed.

My two big mercury exposures as an adult both happened right before I got pregnant with Belle. Once we’ve got me on the road to health, they’re next. We’re going to have them tested to see if they need to be chelated. And Jeff’s got 16 amalgams in his mouth to deal with, and then we’ll put him through chelation. I might take another 2-3 years to recover my health, but it looks like we’ve got a long road of dealing with mercury in front of me before we can move on.
