Cali...You're welcome. I know how I felt when my mother was ill. Unfortunately, this hit when my amalgam illness was at it's worse. So, I know how you are feeling.

There are many different protocols to follow and each of which have helped to different degrees. When I first had my amalgams out, I found that there was so much information over the internet and they all seemed to contradict one another . It felt overwhelming. For myself, I use Andy Cutler's protocol. It's slow and gentle. Very effective for many, though. I use DMSA and ALA every three hours (even during the night). I do this for 3 days and two nights. I, then, take 4 days off. I had to start at very low doses. He recommends this. The supporting vitamins that he recommends help to minimize the symptoms while I'm getting better. I have to admit that I'm afraid of EDTA, though, admittedly, I haven't tried it. Since beginning chelation, I haven't had asthma once. My immediate family are believers in Amalgam illness, as I have made so many improvements since chelation. Hope this helps.
