For the most part I have used the term Flare to describe the phenomenon of increased symptomatology following chelation therapy. I have also described this as reflecting mobilization of Gd, in essence the more Gd mobilized (which is a great thing) the more intense the...

One of my erudite and (not related to this) humorous patients sent me this link to a cautionary report. I had previously written a blog, inspired by emails from another highly intelligent sufferer, about the incorporation of lead into supplement products produced in so...

Caveat Emptor (Buyer beware).

Many may be familiar with my concept of the Semelka trilogy, basically: if it is cheap enough, seems to make wisdom- or scientific-sense, and is very unlikely to make you worse, why not try it?  This also reflects that: I don't know, neithe...

Do you have GDD, MCSS, or both? MCSS is atleast as nebulous a condition (actually much more so) than GDD, and I believe it is probably a not so dissimilar concept of an immune system reaction to foreign antigens. Treatment is different so sorting them out is somewhat i...

My modern revision of Dante's Inferno was well received, so this is an appropriate time of the year, with the birth of Christ hard upon us- to revisit the subject of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Being familiar with the Bible, but by no means a scholar, ther...

I have been asked a few times recently about GDD in children. Here is my current thinking.

GDD is very rare in children primarily because the incitement of GDD in a person often requires that the immune system is mature enough to mount an aggressive response t...

It is likely that many readers/GDD sufferers believe that my answer to GDD is always chelation... and yet there are a number of individuals who post on FaceBook and elsewhere that chelation has ruined their lives (perhaps after GDD ruined their life, chelation continue...

I have addressed variations in urine Gd content in an earlier blog. This is an expansion.

I think that there may be daily variations on Gd elimination (termed diurnal),  and co-existent additional cycles that are much longer, are also occurring.  I had previously mentio...

A number of patients who contact me who have had prior GBCA administration, carry a diagnosis of fibromyalgia that someone gave to them before. Almost certainly none of them have fibromyalgia, they all simply have GDD.

If you have fibromyalgia, and had previously receiv...

Experimental research is critical for our understanding of the science. This involves test tube (in vitro), animal, and isolated human cell research. All of which may provide insight into what occurs in humans (usually focused on humans with a disease). This type of re...
