Hi sosick, maybe. But I know there are enough others out there too who feel cutler's helped them who found other protocols made them worse or didn't help them. 2 other forums elsewhere use his protocol and people seem pretty happy. I don't know how fast it works, I did many things before it. So I can't say it was the only thing that moved mercury out of me. Seemed for me at that time a combination of factors, but his was more tolerated as far as side effects were concerned.

I reckon with me the DMPS IV I had was done incorrectly and possibly released a load of stored mercury everywhere inside of me. Perhaps that is why I found so many things intolerable after that. I can't say. Odd to know that when I had amalgams, I could handle garlic supplements and did well on them too. But later, after amalgam removal and the doctor who did the DMPS, things were no longer tolerated.

So Andy's was a very strict way of doing things. Seemed to work for me and the same for others who may have a similar problem than I do. Could also be a weakness within myself too. Because something has always been amiss with the way my body handles toxins. It's abnormal. To cry and salivate uncontrollably as the only real means of releasing toxins properly is far from normal. So I had to be very very careful what i used to excrete mercury, or this tendency I already had would become pronounced to the extreme.

Yeah, the colon/bowel cleanse I'm doing soon. I don't know about chelation right now though. I'll see how finances go. Cannot afford DMSA (costs 1.20 a capsule, pretty steep eh?). May try ALA at some point. I also find that if there IS anymore mercury, it's likely in the brain/organs, rather than where DMSA can grab it.

DMSA is great when it can get hold of the mercury or when the mercury is made available for it to grab onto, but doesn't do much for me otherwise.

I didn't find cilantro helped me this time either. I really doubt that mercury is the real issue anymore. I still feel it's viral and infection related. So I have to work on that more I believe.

Thanks for your comments. Perhaps if I had the doctor you had, I'd have done fine. But unfortunately we got some doctors out there who play cowboy with the DMPS IV and don't do it properly and screw people up.

Got a great doctor in who is an expert in mercury who uses DMPS, but he told me it's got to be done right or it can mess people up. He does a combintation of things for mercury patients. He does not use DMSA, he doesn't believe it's wise....he uses homeopathy and his homeopathy is VERY VERY effective for mercury. I was stunned. I should have stuck with him, but he was too far away. But the onetime I did see him and get homeopathy, so much mercury erupted out of me, I was immediately covered with rashes. I had to lower the dose! So he knows his stuff.

I've had homeopathy before by some other altnerative health guy and it just wasted my time.

It really does depend on who you go to and how well they know their stuff.
