Around 2.5 years ago, I developed muscle shakiness (affecting several muscle groups, primarily while loaded during exercise) and occasional numbness in my left heel and side of my thigh.
That was shortly after when I first started experimenting with IdealLabs products (with DMSO back then). Not really high doses of anything, maybe 10 drops/day StressNon and/or Lapodin at most, 2-3 drops/day Pansterone. Sometimes topically, sometimes orally. I've since stopped, except for an occasional drop of Kuinone a few times/month.
The shakiness/numbness hasn't improved (or gotten any worse) since then.
Bloodwork doesn't show anything abnormal as far as eletrolytes or thyroid goes. Vitamin D was a little low when I tested last winter (28 NG/ML); it's likely higher now with more sun and supplementing magnesium, but I'll need to test again.
Not trying to blame the DMSO; at best this is just a loose association for me. But I haven't been able to figure it out otherwise. Shakiness and numbness can be signs of mercury exposure, though I don't have any of the other symptoms.
I made the connection after seeing an article recently about mercury chelation and the Cutler protocol in Wise Traditions. It asserted that DSMO can be a potent mercury chelator, and, if not used carefully, can chelate mercury and deposit it elsewhere if the body didn't have time to excrete it. (which is why the Cutler protocol tries to keep a constant blood level of chelators, namely ALA)
I'm not sure where I'd classify my lifetime mercury exposure. I've had the usual vaccines that were mandated in the US back in the 80s & early 90s. I've only had one amalgam filling. It was removed ~11 years ago, by one of the most regarded "mercury-free" dentists in my area (if that means anything). I didn't do anything specific afterwards to chelate or protect against mercury. And I don't eat much seafood that typically is high in mercury.
Does this line of thinking sound logical?
Anyone here have experience with mercury and/or the Cutler protocol? Or using hair mineral (or other) tests to access mercury levels?
