As someone who is suffering with suicidal depression every day and trying to look at all angles of detox, i personally think too much emphasis is put on Cutler and his methods. There are lots of mercury experts who haven't written books, but get no mention on this site. Dr Klinghardt, the brainchild of Autonomic Response Testing is one. Dr Tim Ray, the inventor of NDF and Biological Terrain Management is another. I personally wasn't impressed with Cutlers rudeness in an email to me. He says chlorella is useless, which shows his lack of knowledge that NDF is not normal chlorella, and is scientifically proven to be the best chelator in the world. As for El-Essawy, it's something i would consider if all other prominent approaches fail. But i'm interested to hear all your opinions, and i'm sure Cutlers detox has helped many.
