Detoxification of Heavy Metals

[FallentoReason]

First, your biases after becoming an internet expert are just as hazardous as any a doctor might present.

Second, going to a general practitioner doesn't commit you to following his advice. If you go, and nothing clicks, fine; roll your own. But he may just know something you'd never think of, or at least offer you a perspective, the long view as it were.

Third, if you don't trust individual doctors, get several opinions (depending as each along the way). (Not sure how this sits with your insurance.)


I've had some experience with heavy metal poisoning, but probably nothing that would be helpful to you. In 1996 I overdosed on lithium, took a months supply at once. Took a couple months of straightening out before I got even close to normal again. (My doc said it was pretty normal for it to take a while for the brain to sort itself after a big dose of heavy metal.) For better or worse, I'm a hardy little thing. Most would be pretty toast at a 2.0 blood level (1.0 is therapeutic level). Over a week of detoxing and sipping water every moment that I was awake, and I was still at 3.0.

What were your symptoms when you realised something was wrong?

P.s. I don't claim to know more or be in any way better than a doctor because I've done internet research. I just think that I'm able to think outside the box more (or maybe I don't have biases, like wanting to give my brother-in-law more patients...).
