well 40 yr I have to agree with you at this point in my detox , I have only used 9 rounds of ala and dmsa and it has really messed me up , I was doing better without it, im sure that there are many out there that have been helped with them , but I will not use it any more unless I can find more info that it does not mobilize more back in the body , so far I do not trust the cutler protocol from my own experience , and I am in search of a alternative treatment to get the rest of the mercury out , I am glad to see someone that has actually been cured from mercury poisoning , and yes you are correct , none of us want to spend 20 years trying to cure this illness , if there is a better way we all want to hear about it, thanks for your story , it gives us hope
