Tinea Versicolor Flare Up

The first time I had tinea versicolor it was on my chest many years ago, but never knew what it was. It was one of those things that I "lived with". Then one day my husband was like you should find out what is on your chest because it's getting worse.

So I sucked it up and went to my primary care doctor many years ago and he said it was the fungus, tinea versicolor. I put the cream on my chest for a week or something and it slowly faded away. Unfortunately it would come back over the years and I found out that Nizoral shampoo works just as good as the stuff they give you at the docs, so I just started to self-treat.

Well just a few days ago I noticed a few spots on my chest. Then this morning I woke up and my husband goes...wow your tinea versicolor exploded overnight. You had a few spots on your neck yesterday I forgot to tell you about, but now it's all over... I thought he was exaggerating just a tad, so he took a picture.

I look like a brontosaurus.

Yep I know all about mercury poisoning, I had something like 23 silver fillings (soft teeth my dentist said) Anyway I got them all out and started chelating with DMSA to get the mercury out of my body. Within about 2 weeks I started feeling really good, I still take DMSA according to this protocol which I find very easy to follow http://dmsachelation.com/protocol

My blog is dedicated ONLY to Dr. Cutler's frequent dose chelation protocol. If you use any other one it is strictly at your own risk and I do not think they are safe.

The amount of DMSA that protocol uses is entirely too much. I would have ended up in the ER if I done that. Same with my husband who experienced severe detoxing symptoms after 1 25mg DMSA tablet.

I'll let you speak your opinion, but I think that protocol is likely to hurt someone.
