Just wanted to clarify a point that Cici made...

Algin isn't going to pull mercury buried deep in the tissues, that's not how it works.

Algin is used to help absorb the mercury that has already been released or pulled out of the tissues by things like ALA.

Because Algin doesn't pull mercury out of the tissues, people with amalgam fillings can use it to help reduce their symptoms even before they get their amalgams removed.

I recommend using Algin especially with ALA or other detox products because it helps to prevent the "released" mercury from being reabsorbed and redistributed.

If you tried Algin and didn't notice any improvement in your symptoms, then perhaps you need to take more. Algin works like a sponge so you need to have adequate amounts depending on how much mercury is present. Sometimes 3-4 capsules is enough for me, but other times, I have to take more before the symptoms subside.

If you've been detoxing for a while and you're not experiencing any mercury symptoms, then you may be ready to do more aggressive detoxing, which is great.

I think the key is balance...which is different for everyone. You want to detox as much as your body can handle without getting sick or redistributing mercury. For some, that means simply drinking lots of water, taking vitamin C and algin, and maybe doing a little exercise here and there to promote extra circulation without causing too much strain on the body. I know in the beginning, even 30 minutes of aerobic exercise made me feel terrible and really increased my mercury symptoms.

Of course, not everyone is in a position to be able to follow Cutler's protocol, and if so, that's fine. Do what you can and don't feel pressured to do more than your body can handle. Many people have to be able to work a full-time job, take care of children and family, etc. and cannot (or do not) want to detox too much. For those of us in that situation, slow and easy is best. Yes, it may take longer to detox and get the mercury out, but at least it's coming out. Every day is a little more progress.

For those of you that want to follow Cutler's protocol, by all means, go for it. I'm so glad to hear that several people are experiencing good results. Please keep sharing with all of us, because new people are joining all the time, and we're all at a different stages in the journey.

That's what this forum is all about...sharing, learning and benefitting!
