Hi Will, I understand your concern on the drug chelation route. But DMSA is probably the least harmful out of many other options that are "natural".

I am highly chemically sensitive and weak and DMSA, done properly was tolerated by me.

Russ cannot be too against this, he advertises the book on this forum and recommends it! Also mercury toxic kids are often treated with DMSA and do ok on that. Some people will of course be sensitive to it and have to move onto something else.

You do not have to do that at all, but reasons why I suggest it is because of the long painful path I went down with many "natural" chelators, which far from chelating simply mobilised and caused a lot of needless suffering.

At any rate, ALA being an antioxidant is used by some successfully without ever using DMSA. ALA is available in healthfood shops.

DMSA is available online, does not have to be prescribed at all. Many of us on here have chelated ourselves with the help of a good book and purchasing supplements and chelating agents without even going to a doctor.

But again if you prefer the herbal route, I am sure someone on here will be able to point one out for you that they felt helped them.

I do know one thing I used that certainly pushed metals out of me. It was a homeopathic detox kit from "Heels". Stimulating the natural detox pathways and organs in the body and there is no doubt it worked. Potent and often I had to take less drops because it produced a lot of detoxing.

You take the drops in 1.25 litre bottle of filtered or jug water. Mix it gently and drink through the course of the day. So that is another option.

Chlorella may well help you. Some do respond ok and feel it's aided metal detox, but again it mobilises mercury and does not always seem to take it out safely. Can make symptoms much worse for many.

NDF is a product that is specifically designed for mercury detox and has chlorella in a nanonised form and contains cilantro also etc. Absorbed far better and more effective. Available also online and there is a website specifically about the product, about the guy who created it and how to use it. He uses that on many mercury toxic people /kids.
