I think there are definately some good natural chelators to take before the big guns like DMSA or DMPS, EDTA

I would first get my probiotics up to 500 billion to 1 trillion
Start with 1 packet per day - 150 Billion for first week, if okay then double and double each week until you get a crisis/headache, etc - then back it off - find your comfort level. You should not have to take any garlic, oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract with this routine.....

Once 1 trillion is attained for 3 months, then back it off to 150 billion/day for 18 months

Algin and Pectin - to soak up toxins and metals in the gut/intestines - do this the entire detox

Do probiotic and algin for 6 months

Take some omega 3 - Krill oil - 1000mgs AM
500mg Vitamin C Afternoon and before bed
Flax Fiber 2X day
Greens 2x day - http://www.myvega.com/products/smoothie.asp

Hot, warm meals - not raw - eat what you used to eat when grown up or will shock your body and it wont be able to handle the adjustment in your weakend state

After 4 months start Zeolite - www.ncd.com
Do this until you can take 10 drops 4 times per 24 hours
Start 2 drops 2X a day first week and see how you feel, increase each week until feel headache etc..... then back it off and find your level

Continue with this the whole time
http://econugenics.com/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,53/category_id,15/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,57/

When I started could only take 2 drops a day

If you can make it through this, then do DMPS IV - the heaviest chelator of them all

Take a lot of Minerals and sea salt

Through the entire period take a liver herb

Drink purified water only

If your lymphatic is swollen - take some cleavers herbal tincture

With the zeolite start -- glyconutrients - ambrotose - low dose......... start slow..... https://www.mannatech.com/Shopping/Product.aspx

Many of us took high dose probiotics in the first instance and felt much much worse with a big mercury release .... Personaly, my approach has been to manage the candida through diet and eventual limited use of antifungals, while supporting adrenals / thyroid and chelating with DMSA / ALA.

I really think chelation is a personal thing, and what works for some may not work for others. We all have to find our own way in this, unfortunately by trial and error. I feel most confident in Cutler's method, which makes the most sense to me.

Yes, I agree that a high probiotic will kill yeast and therefore release metals, but you dont have to take so much that your in a big crisis, increase slowly, the main problem is that your body is in weak state, and isnt 90% of your immune system in your gut. If take algin and/or pectin should absorb the release of mercury.

For me, because was in a serious condition, could not remineralize...... and the DMSA made me weaker and weaker because it pulls both good and bad minerals at the same time.

Once your gut/intestines and elimination organs are strong enough then can take the dmsa, as long as can take minerals to remineralize. This is for sensitive individuals.

Especially fire signs in astrology - the earth and water signs are tough and grounded..... and may be able to handle dmsa right away. I prefer to get the foundation stronger first, since I am a major vata - fire sign....

I mean, by just balancing your good minerals will cause a release of mercury and other heavy metals, so wouldnt you want to start with something natural first, and then dig deep later into organs and tissue..?

I would also take GABA to relax so I am not in a fight or flight response mode

I had constipation and gas for 10 years, the probiotic has helped immensely and getting better every month......
