News you won't see in controlled mainstream media.

hey guys

sorry for posting so late but it's hard to write-up anything at all.

I was released from hospital a week ago about my left-brain attack that you all know of from 3 weeks ago. They didn't find anything, just bascially tod me "it's all in my head thing, go see a coounseler."

Well, they did find hypoglycemia in me and hgh billirubin (2,35 , where before dental poisoning it was a stable 1,2) but you can't expect those asholes to connect 2 with 2.

CT scan and EEG came back clear.

so bottom line is again - if I had a brain damage/stroke or not. CT is ok eeg is ok, no neurolgoiical symptoms,

for the record - my left brain feels much worse, no improvement in 3 weeks, even worse, it's next to impossiblke for me to communicate, can't analysie think about facts - and it's all left brain function. I have completed a 3 day dmsa 12.5mg round three days ago and it has DEFINETELY benefited my brain, but ONLY my right brain it seems.

thanx to my parents who bought lot's of those delicious deserts i have also cheated on candida and am suffering from it right now.

but as i say, my left brain is seriously screwed, my left brain feels like it's slowly dying, do guys you have any sugestions, do you think it still could have been a stroke - would sem odd cause even on that day i used garlic in large number which is supposed to think blood so be anti-stroke and also have no history of high blood pressure, but then again it feels so weak like I did suffer a stroke or brain damage.
So if not what other possibilities do see? Some infection of the left brain?

Sharon here as well a firend at the hospital of mine suggested to me the posisbility of lyme, but i dont have the money to do testing right now.

I'm thinking of buying some colloidal silver and trying it, maybe it will give me a clue if not just help.

please help (again:( )

mike


ps. i feel so f* damaged I'm running out of patience for this.

hope u guys are doing better then me.

im sorry to hear about that...you seem to be typing very well and coherently so it couldnt have damaged your brain too much thats a good thing.

I too want to get testes for Lyme but unsure about how to do this. my doctor laughed at me and said see a psychiatrist when i told him that.

Hi Mike, sorry your not doing very well. I dont know what it could be but i know mercury can do anything. you could try some collidal silver, i use it for infections, etc, though Andrew cutler doesn recommend it cos its a heavy metal, id rather take that than anti biotics. I feel comotosed at the moment, and feel like i cant communicate with anyone around me but these things pass for me, everyday is different.
Try and hang in there, dawn x

dawn for me every day is also different , but the matter of weak/damaged LEFT HEMISPHERE stays the same! left hemisphere is severely blocked since 3 weeks ago COMPARED TO my right brain. something happened to the left brain and i need to know what!

what would u suspect guys? do u think we can rule out a stroke?

i just want to add other srange things were happening to me last week, a week ago I was going through some sort of psychosis-lke state - i was arguing with my mother , well and I grabbed her by the arm (she still has a bruise) AND MADE HER SIT DOWN so she would listen to me, I coldn't so much contain myself, and felt completely paranoid, that's where i staretd another round it helped me get out of this state, but still my left brain feels very damaged.

please guys, I need advice, don't assume everything's all right because I'm still typing.

Jinx,
what did the doctors think about you having high billirubin? Did they do any other tests to check out your liver? I would be careful taking any DMSA if something is going on with your liver.

Did you ever have any tests for your adrenals? Mine are better now, but not normal yet. When they were at there worst, I would get such a brain fog, especially when I was stressed. Sometimes even having word finding problems. I couldn't even think straight. I also had to eat protein with each meal and have some nuts as a snack due to low blood sugar. I eventually had to learn how to put some carbs back into my diet due to the low blood sugar. I had been on the anti-candida diet for so long and not eating hardly any carbs. One time at work I almost fainted. My doctor gave me some herbal supplements for my adrenals that really helped me. One was called Adreset from Metagenics, I started on this and later switched to AdreCor. I went from feeling stressed and brain dead at work to actually enjoying challenges when we were busy. It was amazing. the signficant difference did decrease over time, but they both still helped a lot.

It is hard to say if this is right for you but mercury and candida can definately mess with the adrenals, so it is possible. low blood sugar, concentration and communication problems can be symptoms of adrenal fatigue.

Yes I agree that doctors don't get the simple connections sometimes. In fact, a doctor that I work with was telling me about some research they did with Auto mechanics. Someone brought a car in with a very simple problem, just low on some fluid or something. Each Auto mechanic recommended something different that would cost hundreds of dollars. The cardiac doctor that was telling me this story believes that physicans do the same thing. Offen ignoring the simple connections or solutions.

chigirl

One other thing. I had to stop chelation due to the increase in adrenal fatigue symptoms. My adrenals could not handle it. I was also taking tons more DMSA then you though. 300 mg every other week.

chigirl

hey chigirl, yes other liver test were fine, just high bilirubin, which i believe is because of mercury's effect on the liver, plugging the bile ducts with stones etc.

and yes I am aware adrenal support could help me, but PLEASE PLEASE GUYS, I am not talking about plain brain fog here - which i have experienced thousands of times - but s pecific problem: some sort of stroke-like, spillage-like attack on my left hemishpere, after which I've been having serious problems with left brain function, after which forgot many things and donyt' have access to them, for example before that attack I would use to remember some event happening, like a conversation and I would remember at least one word exchange between me and someone, now i only remember the events happening at best, but not the circumstances (or like sandi passing away, but just remember the fact not the circumstances of it or how i found out), i don't remember quotoes at all from different movies that i was passionate about, facts, can't logically analyse facts as well, wiritng in english is so much more difficult, can't assess my curent situation cause have no insight into it, I just "feel" it's very bad but don't "see" it and my personality has regressed, i don't understand myself anymore, feel like a kid, not being able to understand what was on the news all thse last weeks, don't watch any movie at all cause don't understand enough what the plot is about (whereas before that attack i had watched all 3 seasons of Lost, and managed to follow it, and enjoy it, although not as much as when my brain was at it's best,) etc etc, there is so much to brain function but people assume everyting's ok cause u can still speak etc - like those audacious docs at the hospital.

it's like i've turned from a logically-oriented person to an immature, kid-like emotional one.

i know u are all trying to help but there's a specific problem and I need a specific answer.

Jinx, I have had similar with garlic, twice when I used it, I had a brain type attack and it did NOT go away for months on end. I was a wreck. The day it happened, I was close to having convultions. I do NOT know what the heck it did, but read somewhere a warning on garlic causing something in the brain (not sure abut what it was), plus massive redistribution of toxins, which for me felt like it went into the brain, the gut and even my eyes went weird.

You would think once would be enough, but I stupidly risked it again after thinking "well maybe it wasn't the garlic". yes jinx, for me it was! And yes you can get brain type attacks. I was so bad, I would sit and shake and mentally a mess.

So what you had happen may be attributed to that, I cannot say for sure. But stay off the stuff either way, it is not worth it. Oddly enough I used to do well on it and since amalgam remval and other things, I cannot tolerate it. When i got the infections? Then it really became a danger to me. I wish I knew why. It doesn't seem to make much sense, but I can't take it.

I wish I could because it is apparently good for candida and things like that. What a pity.

I'd just be very very careful of anything that is at all a risk in your situation. Some people can take lots of different things and they seem to bounce back ok, they go through some detox and come out of it better. People like us are a high risk and must treat ourselves very very carefully always.

I am really sorry you are suffering so much Jinx, if I had answers, you know I'd give them to you in a heartbeat. How does one reverse something like this? For me it was time time time, plus bits of DMSA frequent dosing, more time, eating well and again waiting it out.

I cannot say it's the same in your case, or whether garlic did it or not, just giving you my experience. I would watch out also for onions too, I'm beginning to think they are a problem as well. But certainly nothing like garlic.

hey bex, thank u for answring. (as always;))

so after reading about that attack of mine would you say you shared those symptoms including that 'wet brain thing' I spoke of? if it's not some infection, garlic seems to be my second guess as a cause cause I used A LOT OF IT that day in the pesto.
Yeah I remember reading about the garlic-brain thing , it was because contains dmso, a suplhur compund that that appeareantly can cross and dissolve the blood brain barrier , so could be that the garlic allowed some things to get into the brain.

I'm thinking maybe a round of ala would help things? but again I'm only guessing, usually I would see some LOGICAL reason for doing something, now I cant , just play it by hunch.

Hi Jinx, no problem. I don't remember the wet brain sensation or what. The reaction was actually so bad and so hard to put into words. You know what I mean? Frightening and bizzare.

Yeah the pesto you made may have done it. What else did you have in there? Be really aware of these things and don't go near anything you consider a risk or has possibly done something to you in the past.

I got in touch with andy on email after it happened in a right state and I asked him "can garlic be dangerous in a mercury toxic person" he said "yes". He's not one to gush, not one to dramatise either and he didn't mince words.

I do not know why other sulfur products do not do this to me as such, yet garlic does. Like you said, the DMSO?

On top of this, my infection/s I believe may have been so injurous to my system and even blood brain barrier, as to allow reactions like this to occur and far more dramatically and to last for ages afterwards.

Damage like this used to hurt me for a long time.

NOt sure about ALA, I'd be careful. I know you want to use something because of possible brain intake of mercury... redistribution. Have you tried DMSA? If that has not been effective, perhaps you could use a small dose of BOTH DMSA and ALA together (keeps things more stable) and do it every 3 hours Jinx. Do NOT skip a dose. If you forget to take a dose, please discontinue the round and wait for a few days and try again.

Sunshine has already had a backlash from missing a dose and then just taking it later. So Andy knows what he's talking about. It's happened to me more than once also. It hurts like crazy. And with the addition of ALA? You need to be even MORE careful. It's annoying to take these things around the clock and waking up at night, but if it works? It's worth the inconvenience a few days every week or so.

Fat intake can help also. The right fats. The weston price advised ones like butter, lard, olive oil, fish oil (mercury free). They are very healing, for cells/brain/skin etc.

Andy talks also about some mercury toxic people are so toxic, they cannot even follow instructions properly and it's a bad situation. So they mess up on the protocol and then make matters worse. He said it's difficult to get them to comply with it. So that's why when I do something, I have to repeat it to myself many times, set alarms, write things down. I do not trust myself because of how my brain works sometimes.

Make sure you keep up supportive supplements and diet. I am doing this right now myself. I have to, without it, things get worse (if that 's possible).

Hi jinx,
I don't know what to say, other than I'm so sorry you feel this way. My brain is messed up most of the time, and I know how scary it is. Hang in there, and keep in mind that things just HAVE to get better for us. Do you have amalgams in? or not? I've been out of the loop and don't remember.

I love garlic. I actually was taking garlic supplements a few years ago (before I knew about the mercury), and I had taken them before in my life, so I didn't think anything of it, and when I took them this last time, they made me SO SICK, I couldn't keep them down. I have always eaten lots of garlic in things, but now I have to be very, very careful. Every once in awhile, in moderation, I can have garlic. It tastes so good, I miss having it more often, but my body tells me NO, and it must be the mercury. I've read on here, how garlic can stir things up.

Always know there are people that LOVE you, and are always willing to help you on here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/inlove.gif" alt="" /> It is always such a comfort, how kind and helpful everyone is.

Jinx do you take omega 3 fatty acids? I do not mean flaxseed oil, i mean fatty acids from fish. If you stopped eating fish because of mercury your brain is starving if you don't add DHA and EPA to your diet. Chronically ill people often cannot produce enough DHA/EPA from flaxseed oil and need to supplement it.

no i am not taking omega 3 from fish, just flaxseed oil.

but again omeg 3 deficiency I dont think explains what to happened to me and why it happened to MY LEFT BRAIN only.

please people i need some real suggestions.

Hi, Jinx the fats I mentioned and omega 3 are very important either way. I'm not saying this explains what happened to you, but I'm saying you need them. I take fish oil, rather than flaxseed. You could take both. Add a mercury free fish oil supplement to your regime, as well as having enough animal fats.

The brain requires fats for protection too as well as healing.

There is no way anybody can tell you how to cure the problem that's occured, we're not professionals, plus even if we were, how is there a way to find that out? The testing you had has shown nothing is wrong. Therefore it's anybody's "guess".

The only thing you do have is possibly doing some low dose chelation. Thing is, if things get worse or go more wrong, than we feel responsible for that. If I was you? I would probably do the DMSA (if you're not already) and then later, add some ALA to it.

I suggested that in my previous post already.....

Try low dose chelation and if you've already been doing DMSA, then you could indeed try ALA, you're definitely months past amalgam removal, so you'd be able to do that. However, I'd go carefully and take DMSA at the sametime in case. Redistribution from something is very bad and very difficult to recover from.

Jinx have you tried high dose of E-EPA (Ethyl)...you can get pharmaceutical grade without DHA...its very good in treating any mental problems..I have to take and my sister. It takes 3 monthes for full effects though but notice a different within the 1st month..

flaxseed seems to make me more aggitated and not sure why..it could be the conversion of too much DHA...

High bilburin can be from taking dietary supplements...are you on any synthetic vitamins or herbs? my levels were high because i was taking alot of different herbs such as milk thistle and passionflora and its difficult for your liver to sometimes but it goes down after a while off stopping supps.

Hey James, I started with 1200mg Ethyl-EPA/day last week.
How did you feel after 3 months?

Jinx, I suggest you use DMSA, molybdenum and L-ornithine. If I remember you had problems with your gut as well. Then the focus should be on detoxing these nasty toxins coming from there; H2S, ammonia and acetaldehyde. I just added today L-ornithine into my supplements, and it does work, feel much clearer in head, and it was just half an hour ago I took it. It is only against ammonia.

L-ornithine also helps against hypoglycemia, because hyperammonemia just causes that: hypoglycemia. So you should definitely consider getting yourself L-ornithine. And perhaps L-arginine as well. Based on the success with DMSA, it could help against H2S as well, and moly is against acetaldehyde + possibly ammonia.

Hi Jinx,
It's awful that you are suffering in this way. Have you tried contacting Andy directly? Maybe you could just include a link to this post in your email if you felt unable to explain what is happening.

Hi Jinx:
One thing that I learned from this condition is not trying to explain every little detail of what’s going on.
Just don’t worry too much. Believe me I have felt awful many times and I know that we all going to be fine one day.


Joe

this is true, in the past year i often felt like i would lose my mind or die. I thought i would never get better but i did. Still not well but better.
