I'm a RN who has taught Nursing for over 20 years in numerous clinical settings. I am so sorry to hear about your father's health problems and I understand your concern about how to best manage the symptoms medically. You have described his lab results and present symptoms very well. Except for the constipation which can be quite easily managed, the remainder of his symptoms are significant CNS symptoms causing his brain dysfunction. I agree with his doctors' provisional diagnosis based on the medical/clinical information you presented and also encourage you to facilitate chelation therapy for your dad as soon as possible. BAL is a harmless compound used for binding the mercuric ion to it but the therapeutic usefulness of BAL depends on its immediate administration at the acute onset of the mercury poisoning. I think that it would be no longer useful for your dad. I believe that your dad is experiencing chronic mercury poisoning and Penicillamine may well be the drug of choice. Penicillamine can be administered orally and appears to chelate mercury selectively, with considerably less effect on copper, which is essential to many metabolic processes. Your dad's copper level was borderline low so you would want to preserve as much copper as possible which Penicillamine does. Penicillamine has an advantage of being well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the excretion of mercury in the urine. N-Acetyl-dl-penicillamine is even more effective than Penicillamine in protecting against the effects of mercury on the brain, probably because it is more resistant to metabolic degradation, and it has the advantage of being less toxic. I'm not as familiar with the use of DMSA or DMPS as chelating agents for mercury removal from the brain. Also you did not mention your dad's kidney function. Mercury is highly toxic to the kidneys and I suggest that the functioning of his kidneys be evaluated. I also suggest that your dad be assessed by a neurologist as soon as possible if that has not yet occurred due to the serious CNS symptoms that your dad is presently experiencing. I wish your dad God's blessings and healing touch. Good luck to you.
