Regarding the "dumping" of mercury, Hal Huggins talks about this also in his book It's All In Your Head. If I remember, he found about 80-85% of people that have their amalgams removed correctly will find that their bodies begin to release mercury without the need for chelators, at least initially. Cutler refers to this as the "fast dump" of mercury.

At this stage, having Algin on hand would be ideal. Otherwise, try to take in a lot of fiber such as whole bran fiber or even Psyllium Hulls. Of course, drink lots of water. Vitamin E with Selenium would be ideal, as well as vitamin C.

Russ has posted some helpful information on MercuryTalk.com <Detoxing Mercury>. Definitely read the part about the body's 7-day immune cycle.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress.
