Thank you, HOD, for the extensive review. A Melisa test showed that I have a strong positive reaction (that is to say, hypersensitivity) to inorganic mercury. Here are some of my views on mercury:
4) Most importantly, to the point. There are tons of information on the internet, e.g. Andy Cutler chelation, other chelation protocols (e.g. http://www.toxaprevent.co.uk/ or Quicksilver Scientific, https://www.quicksilverscientific.com/) about how to chelate mercury. The problem is, each one says this is the only safe way, and all the others are bad and unsafe. I don't know which one to trust. I can't really find scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals that say: "this method was tested extensively and is considered safe." I am not convinced that chelation is a safe process, that's what I worry about. I don't know if these chelation protocols have been tested on lab animals - for example, for side effects.
Quicksilver is a known multilevel marketing scheme which uses binders which do NOT have the chemical properties required to chelate. As far as am I am aware all known chelators of mercury are dithiols (ALA, DMSA, DMPS).
I have followed ACC for over a year now and my POIS is significantly improved, and I believe I will be 100% cured in another year. Understand that ACC was developed by people testing things on a forum in the 90s through trial and error, Andy just happened to partake and happened to have the scientific knowledge to piece together why it works, Andy also applied the half-life dosing idea used throughout the medical industry.
There are no "tests" which can accurately show mercury burden, this is only possible through autopsy. Andy thought the best way to test for mercury would be just to try his protocol, and any sort of reaction to the chelators confirms mercury (positive or negative).
What I miss however, is that it seems not everybody on this forum has had amalgam fillings. That's what makes me skeptical about this whole mercury toxicity/hypersensitivity hypothesis as a root cause for POIS. While it is true that there are other sources of mercury (like fish), I think the main one generally is amalgam fillings. It doesn't look like many people here have them (evidence: see that that mercury threads are not super active). There was an old poll about mercury, and several members have replied they've never had amalgamas.
So, thanks for the compliment, HOD, but the above paragraph is one piece I really am missing from this puzzle. I still believe in the mercury hypothesis, though, just trying to link this with everything else.
It doesn't matter if you never had amalgams, mercury can be passed from parent to child. So if your mother had amalgams, or your grandmother then it's still possible. Also, their are other exposures to mercury:- broken CFL lamps, vaccines (this is controversial but it is a scientific fact that many contain thimerasol which is used as a preservative), bulbs.. many more. Their are many people on the ACC forums whom have never had amalgams who have found significant improvements/been cured from similar autoimmune conditions to POIS. Even a trip to a conventional dentist office exposes you.
Hi John
I read that you have to take the supplements every 3 hours, did you do this everyday for one year or did you take break?
Thanks
Hello,
ACC is to do an appropriate dose of ALA every 2-3 hours for atleast 63hrs (including throughout the night), you then take 3 days off. That's 1 round.
I've done over 70 rounds at this point. Tend to do a round a week.
Hi JohnJames,
The mercury makes alot of sense, seeing as it most likely causes mcas and histamine intolerance.
How is all of your POIS symptoms now and other health issues since your last activity on this post in February??
Also how many rounds of ACC have you done so far?
Good actually, my life is slowly getting back on track, I've done over 70 rounds. My POIS is only bad for a day after orgasm, I'm getting more sociable and outgoing and sleeping much better. I have a girlfriend now, work 9-5, exercise, do weekend activities/have a social life, all of which would of been too tiresome or I would of been too depressed to do effectively before starting this process. I used to spend all day every day playing videogames, people are noticing differences in me, my mom said that I seem much happier and more content than I used to (I haven't told her about any of this).
Histamine and MCAS problems are extremely common in mercury toxic folk, so would make sense.
Interesting pose, but how is orgasm causing symptoms?
I don't know the exact pathway, but something is going wrong somewhere, and I think Mercury is behind it. Mercury damages many of the systems which come into play during orgasm/ejaculation (nervous system, endocrine system, etc).
