I would like to try Algin, but I am worried that it will make me bloated. I have trouble with Psyllium and know it is similar in that it is a bulking agent. Anybody had this problem with it? I dont want to waste my money, but feel very toxic (ust got my alamgams removed a month ago. I am doing too much chelating and need to simplify...and wanted to try Algin <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Hi,
I am using the pysillium husks and it is really working for me. I have trouble with bloating as well but it has been much better since I started using the pysillium.
But I also am very disciplined in what I eat. I have discovered that I cannot handle wheat products, white breads, pastas, sugar products without ALOT of stomach distress. I mostly eat spelt products, much fresh vegetables, some nuts, etc. I eat for my health and not for pleasure, tho' my body has gotten adjusted to my diet and I actually look forward to my food each day.
With mercury poisoning, candida follows. Hopefully, by diet and finding what works for you the candida will disappear!
I haven't tried the Algin yet as I haven't gotten the fillings out yet, doing that May 23. I plan on being conservative in my approach to chelation as I have been very sick for nearly two years and want to be careful!
Hope this helps!
Vicki
ps. I do plan on trying the Algin.

Though I personally don't exhibit any symptoms of mercury toxicity I have one metal filling (which I intend to have removed) and am convinced that most people, the world over, have alarmingly high levels of mercury in their system, even if they don't know/feel it. Though death and disease are an inescapable fact of life, I'm not very interested in speeding up this process with man-made pollutants! So finding the right supplements, to me, is very important

I've recently begun taking Algin as a daily supplement and now, a week into it, I'm amazed with how it makes me feel. If I'm taking Algin on an empty stomach, particularly, I tend to experience a "high" of sorts. Algin puts me in a good mood. I feel as though I've just discovered some wonder drug -- that's how much I'm impressed with it. Psyllium husks just don't compare, in my opinion. It tends to give me conjunctivitis (A.K.A. "Pink Eye") and if you're looking for an alternative form of fiber, I think Algin is a purer, more superior choice. Though it could always be what "brand" of psyllium you're using that causes the bloating.

If you end up trying Algin though, let me know how it works. I'm curious if it has the same effect on other people. My wife is trying to get over mercury toxicity and after taking Algin she usually feels better. It seems to put her in a more normal state. But when I take Algin -- no joke! -- it makes me borderline joyfully hysterical and wanting to jump on a trampoline or go jogging or otherwise exert myself.

So if I take Algin, then it would replace the psyllium husks? I don't even know actually what Algin is or how it works, just hearing good things and I want to try it.

Algin is awesome.

I've been doing natural health research since the mid 90s and discovered it and began using it when I realized I was mercury toxic.

Algin does not make me feel bloated. It does subdue mercury symptoms completely 90%-95% of the time.

It is a non-digestible fiber derrived from certain brown seaweed. It prevents the absorbtion/reabsorbtion of mercury from the digestive/intestinal tract. This is important because the body is very efficient at removing mercury from the blood but as it enters the intestinal system, it gets reabsorbed and this cycle continues until it manifests as symptoms.

I personally believe that there must be a yet-undiscovered blood-related action involved also (although I have found no research to support this) because it works so quickly (for me?within 20-30 minutes).

I also use Algin when I want to "cheat" and eat salmon (which I love) and completely avoid symptoms; It works that well for both me and my business partner Laura. I take 4 capsules just before dinner and 4 about 1 hour later. No symptoms. I have, on many occasions, skipped the Algin and every single time ended up having typical (for me) mercury symptoms to the point where (most times) lymph nodes under my arms would swell to the size of marbles. I love to experiment with myself because I can be quite a skeptic.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

As I have said before, I am happy to offer Algin to anyone on this forum for my cost (about $13 per bottle for 100 capsules) for your first order so you can see if it works for you without spending more than necessary.

Just call Laura or Russ at 1-800-358-4278 or 716-487-9502 or visit:

(unable to get Algin at cost if you visit the website)
Go to the store front, click "A" and scroll down to Algin.

Also remember, if you're trying whey protein to begin a gentle detox (like me), make sure it does not have aspartame (NutraSweet) or Sucralose in it.

Aspartame contains:

(1) Aspartic Acid - An "excito-toxin" which kills brain cells (in high amounts), and

(2) Phenylalanine - Shown to cause brain tumors in lab animals, and

(3) Methyl Ester - Which, in the body, is converted to "Methanol?wood alcohol, which is a poison?a real poison."

If you know anyone who drinks diet pop (sodas) or crystal lite, tell them to do some research or get this video which is absolutely amazing:

I know this is a tangent, however if you know someone with neurological symptoms who drinks diet drinks, please check this out (it's important):

Does anyone find that Algin makes you more thirsty? I guess this is to be expected since it takes mercury out through urine as well from my understanding. Also has anyone experienced dry throat as a side-effect? Just wanted to see if this was linked to Algin or not. I currently take 2 Algin 3 times a day, and I have been taking it for one week now. I wonder if the Algin stays in your system over time, so perhaps if I lowered the intake I would still find relief of symptoms? Any feedback will be most appreciated!
p.s. It is working well for me otherwise and I find relief in my symptoms in about 30 minutes after taking it, so I am very pleased.

Very glad to hear you're finding relief with algin. I also find relief within 30 minutes.

To answer your question; no, I don't experience those symptoms with algin, however, they are both well-known symptoms of mercury.

I used to be so thirsty, when I would go out to eat, the server would just set the tea pitcher on the table and pass an "unspoken-understanding" grin to me. I drank 6 to 8 (sometimes more) full glasses of tea with a meal (not good).

I'm 4 years post removal (July 2000) and I drink 1 to 2 glasses of beverage with a meal now.

Anyway, I don't really have any other effects from taking algin other than relief of symptoms.

About reducing your intake: It might work just as well with less depending on your digestive transit time. Give it a try if you want and let us know what happens.

Best of luck to you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dear Russ,

I had all my fillings removed last week and am feeling quite emotional depressed and having all the usual "mental symptoms" feeling quite terrible actually. what id like to know is if you or anyone else has had relief from these particular symptoms by taking algin or does it only help with the physical symptoms. Im really getting desperate and am feeling quite hopelss and suicidal because im so tired of this constant battle going on in my mind. mentally im finsihed. PLEASE let me know, and could you also advise on how long it would take to reach me in South Africa. Is there any way you could send it to me express mail so that it could get here quicker???? PLEASE Russ, I NEED HELP!!!!!! I could do an internet transfer to oyur account.

What you're describing sounds exactly like mercury poisoning. Since you had all your amalgams removed, your body must be automatically releasing some of the mercury that has been stored, not to mention whatever amount of mercury you may have been exposed to during the removal process (hopefully this was minimal because you went to a dentist trained to use the proper safety protocols).

We can certainly express airmail you as much Algin as you want. We have a secure, encrypted messaging system you can use to email us your shipping and credit card information, or you're welcome to call us. From South Africa, you would need to dial 09~091+1+716-487-9502.

In the meantime, please be sure to take lots of vitamin C with bioflavonoids. By lots, I mean 6 to 8,000mg in divided doses throughout the day, or even more if your body can handle it. Some people take enough vitamin C to reach "bowel tolerance" (a nice word for diarrhea) and then they back off a little and maintain this dosage for several days. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so what your body doesn't use, it will just eliminate, so there's no need to worry about overdoing it. Vitamin C will help with detoxifying your body and with many of the other side-effects that mercury can cause.

Also, get a hold of some Slippery Elm powder, which you should be able to find in capsules (or loose) at any health food store. This natural fiber may help absorb some of the mercury and prevent it from being redistributed. It's not as good as Algin, but it may help at least a little in the meantime. If you can't find Slippery Elm, then eat some all-natural wheat bran cereal (provided you don't have wheat allergies)...it may also help a little.

You need to keep your bowels moving because mercury is primarily eliminated through the bowels. Drink lots of water and organic orange juice (which is much better than regular OJ).

I want to encourage you to HANG ON because you know that it is just a biochemical thing, and you are not permanently losing your mind. If this helps: more than 20 years ago, I felt like you, though I doubt it had to do with my few fillings (which, when they were installed, never caused me problems of any sort). My story is that I suddenly had lots of bad luck and personal problems; "major disaster" would not be an excessive description of my lot in life. So I just kind of sunk into the ground, mainly staying home and living largely off frozen ice-cream pies.

After several months of this, I decided that it was time to smarten up. So I stopped the Total Sugar Diet and went on a real healthy diet. No junk or sugar passed my lips. Well, after a few days, I guess it was the sugar coming out (like mercury for you?) and I went totally ape-s**t. A mental case. I was seriously suicidal from feeling that I would be crazy forever. I can't describe it, but every moment was severe fear & panic. I was phoning all, to try to get someone to help me. Anyway, I passed through the de-sugaring in several days. I know mercury is worse, but many people have felt very, very bad - and lived to tell the tale. SO WILL YOU. - Carla.

TGoss,

It's really important during this time to remember that emotions come and go. Mercury-related depression is very common (I believe) and you will make it through and you will be an inspiration to others.

I remember having salmon as we were traveling through Boston a couple years ago. We ran out of Algin and we told each other, "If we get into an argument in the truck, lets remind each other that we just had salmon". Sure enough, before long, we were bickering about something or other. We then laughed as we reminded ourselves that we knew this would happen because we had salmon without Algin.

Having come this far, you're on the final stretch and it will most likely get better from here, although you will certainly have ups and downs, even if they are severe.

If you do feel suicidal, I urge you to call a friend or help line on the phone. We all need emotional encouragement at times and especially with what you've been through, you deserve it.

Take one day at a time and focus on what's immediately before you. Don't worry about things and don't think too much about tomorrow. You're in the middle of a delicate process that may be the turning point in your life. I also think it's important to remember that you're never alone. Emotions often tell us lies, especially when we're mercury toxic.

I spent most of my life depressed, having terrible low self esteem, terribly shy, unbearably lonely, etc. Those feeling have gone away and now I consider myself emotionally balanced and normal. It was difficult for many months after the fillings were removed as I had severe ups and downs, but they eventually smoothed out and my life has been getting better ever since.

Remember, if you need to talk to someone, just call someone for help or company. We all need it sometimes. Then, whey you're healed and feel good, you'll be an expert at helping others who are where you are now.

Take care and know it's going to get better soon.

To Laura And Russ,

What a ride, my gosh, im feeling better today, much better, but its amazing how when you feel so bad, you cant remember the days like this and no one, not even yourself can get through to you. It just seems so bad that you think you'll never survive this time and then like magic from up above you find the strength to barely scrape through.... but when you've made it!!!! WOW what a feeling. I just want to say a very heart felt THANK YOU to you and everyone else here thats helped me with their kind words of support and inspiration, dont know what i would've done without you guys this time around. Ive never been so low and felt so completely detached in my life. I think it was because of my removal. my dentist used a rubber dam but tore a hole in it whil putting it in place, he never put a new one in but just continued using the broken one, needless to say when i rinsed my mouth out a huge chunk of mercury came out aswell who knows how much i swallowed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> . Anyway, all of you really gave me hope and became the small light at the end of a very dark tunnel. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Thank you for this forum, its been a lifesaver to me and im sure countless others. My gratitude is infinite.

Take care for now and GOD BLESS!!!!!

You're very welcome and I'm very glad to hear you're feeling better.

Remember, the rollar coaster ride is a good sign. Mercury is on the move and that's just what you want. Just keep your supplements handy and call someone if you ever feel you need help.

You're on your way. Congratulations!
