When you boil down the entire issue of mercury detox, it comes down to this:

(1) Mobilize mercury from tissue. This is normally done with sulphur (DMPS, DMSA, glutathione, chlorella are all sulfur-based).

(2) Once the mercury is in the blood, try to be sure it does not separate from the sulphur and get redistributed.

(3) If using a chelation method that removes mercury via the urinary tract, be sure to provide protection for the kidneys. If using a chelation method that removes mercury via the liver (colon), be sure to prevent reabsorption of the mercury via the colon walls (using Algin).

(4) Protecting the body from free-mercury during chelation with brain antioxidants (E) and body antioxidants (C).

Basically, if mercury never left it's sulfur when in transit, there would be no "bad feelings" during detox.

I chose to detox slow and naturally because this way, I knew my body could handle the small amounts of mercury released over a long period of time and I could provide protection for it. I used chlorella and lots of C and E. I would have used Algin but I didn't know about it then.

I also believed that the sum-total of released mercury would be smaller with a long-term low-level detox (for complex reasons).

Sweating is also an excellent way to remove mercury because it doesn't have to utilize certain organs (liver, kidneys).

My thoughts anyway...
