Hi, don't be too scared of DMSA. Many people hold off from using it because they think they'll get worse, when often times people live on the stuff just to feel NORMAL. So it can actually help suppress symptoms while it's chelating out the mercury.

But of course, in some it can induce further detox symptoms. But taken safely, (Andy Cutler style), and low doses, usually a person can do ok.

But I see what you're saying. It does get scary when you just don't want anything to tip you further over.

Andy doesn't advocate Algin, but I see people being helped by it, so I don't see an issue really. It's up to the persn what gets them through the day. Most of us can barely do that eh?

I can't even eat a few biscuits (cookies) without getting horrific symptoms by the next day. It's pathetic actually.
