Hi Dawn,

Yea, taking HMD right after is not a good idea. For once you had the recent mercury exposure and then taking 2 HMD opened the path to the brain and hence lots of mercury got transferred into the brain thanks to the ALA and ciliantro found in the HMD. I think Russ advices to start with clorella first to chelate from the organs before going for ciliantro to chelate from the brain. Russ' chelation is more natural and not as synthetic like Cutler's where DSMA is used for the organs and ALA for the brain. But I verified with him on using the HMD product without firstly chelating from the organs and he said that I should be fine. Now I am thinking about going for a swamp drink and whey protein to chelate from the organs first, while preserving HMD for later. It makes total sence to me to chelate from the organs other than the brain first, because when taking chelators like ALA and ciliantro in a perfect combination that would not take any mercury back to the brain. The only problem is that right now I am overseas and can't get the swamp drink. So in sum for Heavy Metal Detox all should wait to take it until the body organs are free of mercury so that once all take chelators that can cross B.B.B. some or none mercury would travel back to the brain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
