bob beck protocol and MSM

[Suzan]

Has anyone read up on or have any experience with this protocol? (google brings up a couple of options.... designed for HIV treatment and being used for cancer treatment and other microbes)

 

Also, is anyone using MSM (suflur) for detox?

 

Thanks!

I know nothing about MSM. So stop reading now if you think I know what I'm talking about. But I've seen it mentioned several times in my chelation readings. I have no idea if this is valid - it comes from a guy who's written a lot about lyme and also followed Cutler's chelation protocol - but you can find others who totally disagree - so I pass it along but you need to decide for yourself:

The first problem that can render chelators nonproductive and dangerous is that the chelator used does not bond strongly enough with mercury to remove it. Instead, the mercury is merely dislodged from its resting places in the body and sent into circulation, where it quickly bonds to tissues elsewhere. This is called mercury redistribution. It can have seriously damaging effects and can dramatically increase symptoms of toxicity. Body tissues themselves have a high affinity for mercury. If the chelating agent used creates only a weak bond, the mercury will be dropped by the chelator and grab onto other body tissues on the way out of the body. An ideal mercury protocol minimizes redistribution. Substances that are not proven to be appropriate chelators (even though they are quite popular) include cilantro, chlorella, and MSM, to name a few. These substances are not ideal mercury removal agents. Nor are many of the “mercury detoxification” herbal preparations sold in health food stores and by various healthcare practitioners. In some cases, these substances and products can be very dangerous and often do more harm than good. Such substances and products typically create a strong enough bond to move mercury around in the body and cause mercury redistribution, but not a strong enough bond to actually usher mercury out of the body.

He actually does a good job outlining my big question - if you have lyme and mercury, don't you need a chelator on board the entire time you're getting the lyme/biofolms to release their mercury? If you only chelate every other weekend, isn't the released mercury just going to redistribute in the meantime - the very thing they say daily chelation does (and say it's dangerous)? Way confusing and contradictory. Just when the author gets to the crux of my dilemma, he says further discussion is outside the scope of his book. ??? That's exactly what I need the scope of the book to be about!

 

Anyway, not weighing in on MSM. I have no experience with it. But wanted to pass along this point of view FWIW.

LLM, Good info, same trouble I'm having with all the products I am finding that I can get into dd8. Do you know of any other placed I can look to find a good product that she might be able to take? I'll PM you....
