Thank you Russ,I am really sick and I am trying to keeping it in mind that this is temporary.I read all of the postings on this site for inspiration.I think I feel a bit overwhelmed by Andy Cutlers book and wanting to chelate exactly right. My experiences from the mercury have been sooooo confusing. Mainly psychiatric symptoms.With many medications that only made me worse. I am afraid to chelate. Afraid of my symptoms getting much worse and me not being able to afford my life expenses.Can someone effectively chelate with ALA and a candida diet? Or is this considered not enough? I will of course be taking all the vitamins and other supplements. I went to a carnival this evening and met a man that had twelve teeth pulled that had amalgams in them.He has ALS and didn't want to be exposed to anymore mercury by way of drilling.He was recomending some sort of cleanse called "sunnies cleanse #7".Eveybody I speak to seems to have some crazy way to get mercury out.Mr.Cutler calls all these cleanses "witch doctor" cures.I am going to rest for a week or so and then start some sort of chelating.I haven't decided exactly what,but I will continue researching.I just want to quiet my thoughts for awhile.This is alot to think about. I have got to get past this being afraid part and find some strength.
