So what happened next?
I was heavy metal detoxing for 3+ months with an amalgam left in my mouth!!! AHHHHHHHHHH! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN & WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? To say the least, I went backwards! I gained 15+ pounds back and I felt HORRIBLE! I had a lot of re-occurring symptoms PLUS new ones I had not experienced before. I begged and pleaded to the Lord crying out for Him to help me. I spent sleepless nights on my knees in prayer. Oh, the blessings of absolute submission to Christ! What a blessing to lose our own strength, wisdom, plans, and desires and to be where every ounce of our being becomes like a peaceful Sea of Galilee under omnipotent feet of Jesus. The main thing is to suffer without becoming discouraged. –quoted from Streams in the Desert! That devotional is such an INSPIRATION and I recommend EVERY one of you get a copy of this!
I can’t thank the Lord enough for showing me when he did and not allow me to go further heavy metal detoxing. The following week after it was confirmed there was an amalgam, it was removed that week. I'm just now (1 year and 17 months later) starting to feel better each day. I still have moments but I’ve come so far and with that said I still have a LONG way to go! I just started this process! It’s been over a year since that incident. I'm currently on a DMSA cycle as I write this now and the first 3 days were good, now I'm starting to feel not so good (day 3 into 4). Miserable, fatigue, feeling of anxious every once in a while (but not BAD anxious like it use to be-THANK GOD) and I just don't feel like myself. I still get the metal taste in my mouth when I detox and my hands and feet turn to ice- that is mercury folks! It’s been 4 months (2nd time around) so far on DMSA on/off and I’m still pushing through. Good news when I’m off cycle I feel really good! When I first started taking DMSA a few months back I felt better when I was on cycle vs. off cycle. I sleep fairly well, minus the fact that I have to get up and take a pill. I had an experience this cycle where the alarm woke me up to take the pill and I got a little startled w/ anxiety (adrenaline). I fell back to sleep about an hour later. My GI was wrecked prior to starting this round along w/ candida flare ups. Soon as I got on cycle I had no more candida (itchy ears) and my GI got better. I have a loss of appetite this round of DMSA which I'm NOT complaining about, but it’s the first time this has happened.
My Helpful Tips …
Tip#1 - Vitamin c flushes are KEY when you start to not feel well on and OFF cycle.
Tip#2 - Cytocatch at night-it’s a MUST!
Tip#3 - Extra antioxidants and extra SLEEP and rest is NEEDED!
Tip#4 – Warn those around you that you are detoxing and caution them to mood swings ;)
Tip#5 – Streams in the Desert is a MUST.
Also, when I’m off cycle I’ll work on supporting my kidneys, liver and gut and also do a few vitamin c flushes after then load up on probiotic. I also take a multivitamin/mineral during my off cycle and sometimes even when I’m on cycle. Paleomeal every day (at least 2 shakes on and off cycle helps too).
NOTE: The above statement has not been regulated by the FDA nor is it a protocol. These are just the steps that I take personally. Do not attempt this on your own and you must consult with your physician before beginning any process of heavy metal detox or amalgam removal.
A little more about me …
Each of our bodies are different yet similar when we are toxic. In this case, I’m extremely toxic with heavy metals. I would like to find a way to upload my Autism Panel from Laboratoire Philippe Auguste so you all can see these results. The results indicated elevated levels of mercury and lead with brain inflammation present which means I could easily be diagnosed with autism and being on ADD spectrum-makes perfect sense! I have problems with focusing and paying attention to detail ESPECIALLY if I have no interest along with a handful of other symptoms I experience. I use to be worse with attention span and details. I’ve come a long way and have gotten a lot better. But with that said, I have a long way to go so it is IMPERATIVE I keep at what I am doing and some days when I’m discouraged I need nudged along the way during the process which is why I’m so blessed for my family & friends and especially my family at Pompa Health Solutions. The coolest part is how dialed into my body I am. I know when certain foods I eat make me not feel so well. I know what my GI can handle not just food but supplement wise too. I know when I’m ovulating- YES even ovulating! Some say I know too much for my own good but I consider it a BLESSING! It’s so incredible diving into the “why’s” and “how to’s” learning about your body that God has created. The things to do and not do. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; Corinthians 6:19.
