Hi Alex,

My personal opinion is that Algin would be an asset to ANY heavy metal chelation protocol. Whenever someone is following a protocol to remove heavy metals (or other toxins for that matter), there exists the possibility of reabsorbing some of these toxins from the bowel. This is one reason why so many people get sick or feel worse once they start chelating/detoxing.

When I'm doing any chelating I always take Algin first, about 1 hour away from anything else I take, just to make sure that the Algin doesn't interfere with these other substances. I take Algin first so that it will already be in my system before I take any chelators. I also make sure to take Algin at least a few more times throughout the day and night, again about 1 hour away from other things. This way, I'll have a pretty constant supply of Algin available to absorb the heavy metals and toxins my body is eliminating. By doing this, I can avoid (or at least greatly reduce) the negative effects of detox.

So again, no matter what protocol I was following, I would add Algin to it. In fact, I take Algin daily, whether I'm taking chelators or not.

Personally, I'm also not worried about Algin interfering with ALA or other chelators, because in my opinion, I'd rather make sure I'm not reabsorbing heavy metals. I would simply adjust the chelation protocol a little to incorporate regular doses of Algin.

I hope I answered your question and gave you the information you needed. If you still have questions, feel free to post back and let me know.
