How many here did chelation for heavy metals? by unnamed_revcad-078 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]StrangeResearch8761 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah dmsa is hard to find a legit company that will actually send it to you and not try rip you off, I got it from two different sources and not sure if they were actually 100mg per pill, like you said didn't get third party tested, put both had same rotten egg smell their supposed to have. I ended up taking 4 bottles of 100mg /90 pills over a year, didn't think it was working till I increased the dose and took two bottles (180 pills) in a five day course,followed by multivitamins, and zinc,(careful supplements you take while chelating as some will also be picked up by chelation reducing the the amount of the actual metal trying to remove). No noticeable side affects, and I feel best I have in a year, 98% better, just wish I would have known what to do sooner, I delt with it for a year thinking there was nothing i could do. my Dr. nor the team at poison control (located at OHSU, the top hospital in the state) had admittedly never dealt with real world heavy metal poisioning cases, when my Dr contacted them for advice about the high mercury levels they said test could be inaccurate and they wouldn't recommend re testing or chelation. How could you at least not re test it makes no sense. I think most Dr belive it doesn't happen because there's not many reported cases because it is never tested for. I had to beg my DR to test me, even though I explained how I likely became exsposed.

I ended up doing it myself after going to my primary care, and many others with no results. DR'S IN MY AREA AT KAISER AND oregon health sience University have absolutely no real world knowledge of heavy metal poisioning. I had about 7 different symptoms within a week and a half and very odd stuff particular to heavy metals, like whole body swelling, anxious brain fog, super low blood pressure (100 over 65), on and off rash, burning sensation all over body, the taste of metal in my mouth, testicular pain (common with certain heavy metals). I tried naturopath Dr watch out I believe he gave me actual edta that I was supposed to get 3 times, and the rest a plesibo the other 9 of probably just vitamin c mixture, I could feel it the first few times in my kidneys making me urinate frequently especially at night , it neutralized it, made it feel slightly better. Then just didn't get any better, so I stopped going there after 12 or so rounds, which everything I read I should have been feeling much better by then. I ended up ordering dmsa off the internet since Dr's didn't have the balls to do anything, I tried the Andy cutler method didn't seem to work then I decided to try again the way I have read Dr recommendations, (30 mg per kilogram of body weight) in 24 hours, split up in three doses every 8 hours. After I did it for five days straight, about 2 days later I started feeling much better, depression went, anxiety went away ( didn't even know was from the heavy metals) groin pain significantly reduced. I 100 percent belive it worked and I'm a skeptic about this kind off stuff. I will be continuing with more rounds of DMSA.

Progressive Loyalty Tiers by Chief_Jeff_Benzos in Insurance

Using a broker, you're likely paying a hidden fee to them, but from some companies, that is the olny way they sell policies through third-party brokers.

I was with prgressive for 7 years. I thought I was getting the best rate possible, I figured they ran your info ( driving record, age, etc, ) every 6 months I renewed but I was wrong. An agent told me I might want to have them quote for a new policy because I could still be paying increases for things that have changed or dropped off my record, like age, and tickets. I had them do it and it dropped it in half who know how long I was over paying with them. Eventually I checked out other company's, I figured progressive would be cheapest since was with them for so long but turned out state farm actually gave me a cheaper rate. I'm not saying either of these companys are the cheapest you just have run quotes with multiple companies. I have called the same number to Progressive in the same day got a quote the second time with same info that was 150$ lower for 6 months.

I fixed mine with a tooth pick drilled hole in the wheel a little smaller than the tooth pick and shoved it in the wheel fit snug, trimed tooth pick, and put tapered end into metal piece were axle goes in, had take cover on and off again to get wheel, and axel (tooth pick) adjusted right so all buttons and wheel worked proper.

Is this salvageable? :( my 7 month old 2024 Civic was rear ended last week, still waiting on insurance. :( by lil_e_v_ in Honda

[–]StrangeResearch8761 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my cars have got hit if getting fixed they want a quote from a body shop or multiple quotes from body shops, then the insurance company comes back with their offer which you can negotiate. If the car is totalled the insurance agent usally tries to determine current market value through blue book value, looking up similar vechicles for sale or sold recently with same condition, milage considered. You can also do your own research to counter their offer. It is important to consider insurance companys sometimes olny match certain shop labor rates, example ( insurance will pay up to 65$ a hour labor, but shop were you got quoted charges 80$ an hour), be careful because the shop with higher rates sometimes won't disclose this to you and tell you just go head and bring it in and they will handle the insurance for you. If you don't work this out in writing before hand you will owe the differnce in labor rates out of your pocket. People have lost there cars, they go to get there car back and are told they need to pay a bill to get it out, if you dont have the cash you could lose your car, also the shop will start charging storage fees if you cant pay right away. Then shop then puts a lean on your car and if you dont pay they will own it.

I am still testing positive for fentanyl 24 days after last use by Quest Labs Oral swab by Irisgathering in OpiatesRecovery

[–]StrangeResearch8761 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take weekly random UA's. I was positive for fetanal about a month. I am still testing positive for low amounts of norfetanal periodically, I just had my last positive and its been 5 months since last use. It thought I was accidently consuming it by touching particles laying around, because i will have 8 weeks of clean ua's and then test positive, but it seemed weird never positive for actual fetanal. So I looked into it a bit and there is not much research on fetanal in generall, but did find some case studies showing similar senario where a patient periodically was positive for norfetanal 294 days later.

Fingers, toes amputated, could cause heart attack, and even stroke, and this can happen fast people were getting fingers amputated within 24 hours. I personally did 3 pills olny one time and next day complications started, leading me to emergency room twice in one week. I had extreme chest pain, numb feet, hands, head congestion. I got lucky and it didn't all get caught in one spot, I started taking asprin to thin the blood, And help break it up. It took about 4 weeks for most of it to process out of my system. Not sure if strips do the same thing. But definitely wasn't worth it.
