Taking it for a day and then stopping and then starting again is not part of the protocol. I understand you feelings on this though. Because I had trouble too!

But It MUST be taken for at least 3 days or more continuously. (you "might" get away with 2 days on). Sorry but this is what has been stated. THis is why people find his protocol hard to stick to because of the frequent dosing, but he said that if he could find any other way to do it and still have it a safe protocol, he would do it. He's not found any other way so far that allows for the same safety of mercury movement/removal. That is the downside of his protocol, the dosing times.

I cannot tell you what to do, you can try it if you wish. I do not understand it all enough to state exactly why even just a day's dose and then stopping is not advisable.

This is why Andy has suggested that extending it to every 4 hours at night is about as much as he can give a person so they are not waking as often. E.g. taking a dose at midnight, then waking at 4 am and then 8 am is better than midnight, 3 am, 6 am, 9 am.

However, even this can cause too many symptoms for some people. Every 4 hours for some is still not frequent enough and they still have to continue with the every 3 hours during the night as well.

One days dosing is not extended enough to be a safe "round". You could try it, but you would not be following his protocol and I really cannot tell you what would happen. Is it worth it? The loss of sleep is very annoying, but if you did this protocol for just 3 days (e.g. friday, saturday, sunday), do you think the other 5 days of recuperation would be enough to handle?

I know it is not easy, but the alternative is worse. I have tried taking chelating agents in other ways and it's hurt me very badly. It seems Cutler knew his stuff (certainly in my case) and I simply couldn't deviate off the protocol without incurring a severe backlash/backfire effect.

ALA is the last chelating agent I would take risks on personally, it's the main one andy warns about in messing around with. It's very strong, it crosses the blood brain barrier and he has mentioned irreversible effects in some cases when a person has decided to take it randomly/high doses or adjusting his protocol because they found it inconvenient. IT has happened and he's been blamed unfairly quite a few times. Either they decided to take the ALA too early following recent mercury exposure (e.g. amalgam removal), or made adjustments to the protocol itself.

It's tempting to do because it's an inconvenient protocol is nobody likes waking up to take a dose. I hated it, but I didn't have much alternative unless I wanted to suffer severe symptos and a worsening of my condition for a long time afterwards.
