I have to echo Sunshine here. No exaggeration, if you are one of those people that have issues with sulfur foods/supplements, this regime may REALLY hurt you! When I was very mercury toxic, high sulfur foods (supplements especially) would do a number on me. All they did for the most part was bounce the mercury around more widly without actually doing much to get it out. Sure, perhaps a bit came out in the process, but at a high cost. I would sometimes be severely ill after using just chlorella alone and could take me months to recover. I got away with eggs sometimes and high sulfur vegetables, but even then it could hurt. But never to the point of chlorella, garlic etc. Though oddly enough I could handle garlic supplements when I still had amalgams. Post amalgam removal? That's when these things REALLY hurt me, which I gather is because my body went from storage mode into detox mode once all amalgams were out of me.

Using high sulfur will mobilise the metals, but may not do such a good job at eliminating them if you are one of those people like me who tend to retain the metals, rather than excrete them, and/or you are hypersensitive to the metals. It is NOT ok to go through hell on earth just to detox a bit of metal. It is normal to experience a worsening of symptoms for sure, but not to the point of almost insanity/agony. This is a case of re-tox, rather than detox many times. A redistribution of metals to such a degree as to wind up sometimes in more sensitive areas (brain being one). The symptoms from it were so horrific for me, that a few times I was close to being committed. Not just with chlorella, but anything that bounced the mercury around, including taking chelating agents in the wrong manner.

Everybody is different and you will get some people that actually do very well on sulfur foods and/or supplements. They are very low in sulfur and their body needs to. Some are not low and the extra sulfur does not much more than bounce mercury around. These products do have the ability to move mercury but apparently they only have one thiol group, instead of two, which means they don't grab onto the metals strongly enough, so they just shift it around.

I'll give you an example of what high sulfur supplements could do to me whilst I was mercury burdened. Screaming, crying, salivating excessively and uncontrollably, almost tearing my hair out and sometimes I would wind up on the floor. I was literally feeling like I was going insane. Now this is NOT ok! This is NOT ok, even if the person may detox a bit of mercury in the process. It's unacceptable and something that I regret bitterly because who knows what damage may have been done, I repeated this often because I didn't know any other way and was so desperate to get rid of the metals, I was almost willing to cause myself this much agony to do so, instead of waiting it out and feeling chronically poisoned everyday. Yes, I did lose a bit of metals along the way doing this and as I said, at what price? My body had no choice but to become acutely poisoned during this because I forced the mercury into going everywhere by taking products that mobilised it, rather than grabbed on tightly and escorting it out (which is what andy cutler's protocol does).

Finally, I got onto Andy Cutler's protocol (DMSA, every 4 hour routine) and was able to start shifting the metals out properly, more speedily and more much safely. Yes I felt quite revolting during detox, I could not avoid this. Anytime you increase the rate toxins come out, the symptoms also increase. Yet sometimes it helped me feel better, so it was a combination of feeling revolting and yet more balanced. Hard to explain. Sometimes I felt worse and more depressed, other times better. But I never had the same insane type of detox symptoms I had with the other ways. In hindsight I could have made it even easier and lessened the dose on cutler's protocol and lessened the time I was on it. I actually put myself through more than I had to.

This is when I began to make more progress and shortened my time of mercury chelation and recovery. Before that, I wasted much time in taking anything and everything because I didn't know what to do. Thank goodness for Cutler. He may not suit everybody, we are all different, but he's a pretty good bet. Please check out the cutler testimonies on this forum.
