Ok, i just spoke to hal huggins help line.
you can send off a hiar analysis, get a detailed blood work done, and then, according to a computer that hal huggins set up, get personalized help.$560,that is cheap compared to going to see him in colarado, $5,600.(before dental work)
i am just about to give up!




the guy on huggins help line said there is NO safe chlorella.previously
i was advised to get chlorella from PRIME CHLORELLA in canada,as it is safe.
i have been taking it for 2 months at least.
what do we do???klindhardt uses chlorella in his protocal.
i am flat out exausted , as all advise is so conflicted.thats even before choosing a dentist.
any thoughts anyone who has had good results by themselves, who can realistically afford $5,600 to go to the clinic in colorado,we are going to get a second equity line on our home just for denatl work!!!!!!!!!miriam,

Miriam,

Hang in there! If you want to have the hair analysis and blood work done and you have the money to do so, then go for it.

In my case, I was convinced enough just from reading Huggins' book, It's All In Your Head, and from knowing that I didn't want to have a toxic substance in my mouth any longer, no matter what any dentist said.

I called Huggins' office and got the names of a few dentists that were as local to me as possible, and then I proceeded to contact each office to verify the methods they used to remove the amalgam fillings (just to make sure they used ALL the safety protocols). I chose the dentist that I was most impressed with and went in for an initial consultation. He suggested I get DiamondLite because the majority of his patients had good results with it. He also used kinesiology (muscle-testing) to see if DiamondLite would be compatible with me. I suppose I could have had bloodwork done to make sure DiamondLite was best for me, but since I wasn't terribly sick, I felt comfortable with the dentist's recommendation. I think at the time (2000), the bloodwork was going to cost around $300?

Anyway, my dentist gave me Dr. Klinghardt's protocol to follow 2 weeks before my removal, which I did. I used NSP products for everything except the chlorella...I used Sun Chlorella because at the time, it was the best quality I could find after doing some research.

Today, there are some differing opinions on what works best for mercury detox. Klinghardt recommends chlorella, Cutler doesn't. I haven't found any definitive answer to this question. From personal experience, chlorella seemed to work just fine for me...I don't recall having any bad reactions to it. Again, at the time, chlorella was what was recommended, and I took it along with plenty of Algin.

Basically, once all your amalgams are removed and if they're removed correctly, your body should automatically begin detoxing on its own (according to Huggins' studies, about 80% of people will begin to auto-detox). Anything you can do in addition is just extra. Obviously, you don't want to detox too quickly (which people have a tendency to do and then they get sick).

In my experience (and my business partner, Russ), getting the amalgams removed safely was the most important thing. Replacing the amalgams with as safe a material as possible was the second most important thing. Thirdly was doing gentle, slow detoxing using lots of Algin, high-quality vitamin C (Citrus Bioflavonoids), high-quality vitamin E (Vitamin E Complete with Selenium), and then lots of pure water, fresh vegetables, etc.

I'm sure there are a lot of new detox products and therapies available now. Some of them may work well, others may not. If you're interested in trying something new, just be sure to learn as much as you can beforehand.

But for myself, my life has changed completely around and I'm feeling healthier and stronger than ever. I try to eat as healthy as possible, eating organic whenever I can. I use Nature's Sunshine Products almost exclusively because of their quality and purity (they voluntarily comply to California's Proposition 65 - the strictest manufacturing guidelines in the U.S.). I've done massages, saunas, etc. (Just make sure to take extra Algin and vitamin C.) Nothing extreme or terribly expensive, and I'm doing great.

By the way, our dentist only charged between $150-$250 per tooth (back in 2000). I've heard of people getting quotes for $10,000, but unless you need special work done for things like crowns, root canals, etc., that kind of price seems excessive to me and I'd look for another dentist (but that's me).

I hope this helps. There probably isn't 1 "perfect" program to follow that will fit everyone's needs. Just try to relax and take things one step at a time. As you come across new information, feel free to post it here on the forum and ask for feedback. We all have been or are going through this and many of us have done some different things.

These are just my experiences, for what they're worth. Hopefully, this will help some.

Hi!
As for Chlorella, i'm taking 1000 mg of it each night now- with 950 mg of Algin-- It seems to really work for me best when I take it at night. Andy scared me when he said never ever use Chlorella. I respect Andy Cutlers protocol and I do think he knows what he's talking about. Being that my name is 'BOLDY loxx, I have to be bold and branch out and test things anyway--- and sofar, am not having bad side effects with Chlorella.

Like Laura says, the Algin is reccomended to use with it -- maybe that's why Im not having bad effects.

Keep the colon and bowels clean when taking this-- so the Algin can sweep everything out with the Chlorella into the toilet bowl. Prune Juice, Castor Oil (Hexane free natural type) Senna , Cascara Sagrada or Psyllum Husk with lots and lots of liquids wiill help keeping the colon flushed to allow a channel for the mercury, and sludge to escape in the right direction.

I personally am trying that Dieter's Tea with the Senna-- and its helping me.

Last week, after weeks of using Chlorella/Algin , I noticed that the afternoon's bowel movement was pitch black and horrible smelling.

I believe some mercury came out in that bowel movement from the Chlorella/Algin. Maybe it was trying to come out for weeks, but the Senna tea helped it move along.

I personally am having good luck with the Chlorella-- as long as I take the Algin, and as long as I keep the colon clean and 'unplugged"

Try it and see. I know some people have had success with the Chlorella, yet there are those who couldnt tolerate it. thank God for Algin!

Does anyone know if you can use the same methods for clearing mercury out of your body if you don't have any fillings or any other metal in your mouth i.e., if your mercury & other metals got into your body by some other means?

what order do you take the algin and chlorella ????does one need to be on the digestive system first????to help the other to get out ????
thanks, miriam

Yes. Algin is particularly beneficial for absorbing heavy metal contaminants (i.e. mercury, lead, etc.). It will help whether you have mercury from amalgam fillings or from other environmental sources.

If you're feeling healthy and want to detoxify a little more aggressively, you might consider trying a product like Heavy Metal Detox, which contains cilantro, N-Acetyl-cysteine and Alpha lipoic acid to pull mercury out that has been stored within the body tissues. There's also Enviro-Detox, which is a more general detoxifying formula that helps cleanse and strengthen all the detoxifying systems of the body. (I would recommend doing one first, then the other, but not both at the same time. I would also suggest taking extra Algin, especially with the Heavy Metal Detox since it will be pulling mercury out of the tissues...you want to make sure it gets absorbed and eliminated from the body and not re-absorbed back into the bloodstream.)

I agree with Laura but, if you're going to take the detox supplements (which are really good by the way), make sure you start with low doses for at least a week to see how you're feeling, then up it little-by-little.

There's no reason mercury detox has to be miserable, perhaps only a little uncomfortable from time-to-time.

Hi Laura,

I had my amalgams removed last Thursday from a regular dentist. I wasn't protected or anything. Now that I have the amalgams removed and replaced with composite how do I begin to detox and what do I detox with.

Angie

hi miriam : the information out there is overwhelming ,It would be much more simple if there were just one protocol ,but as so many of us have found out ,(that just aint so) it's not a one size fits all in this case ,for me I just decided to let my body do it's own detox at it's own speed however long that will take ? every time I tried to use any type of chelator ,even natural my body just couln't handle it ,so my body made it's own choice , I don't know where you are located but I am in northern michigan my dentist is on the (iaomt ) list of safe removal dentist he is very reasonable and I recommend him very highly I was charged $1800.00 for nine fillings I decided not to do the compadability testing but he can do that also,it's just another option

Miriam,

If you are anywhere near the Massachusetts area, there is a dentist who uses all proper protocol and is very reasonably priced, they even have an MD who specializes in detox on board now.

As for your hair analysis, If it is to design a mineral and supplement program than its ok. If you are doing it to see if you are mercury toxic there are better tests now, namely a porphoryn test. It will tell you 100% if you are mercury toxic and how much damage it is doing. There is no more guess work. Get some information here

As for the protocols, I've tried just about all of them, and the Cutler protocal has changed my life. Chorella, cilantro, other agents just made me worse. For some it seems to work. There is much evidence that chlorella itself is not standardized and can have mercury in it as well. There is no known safe protocol for cilantro. Knowing what I know now, I probably would have started with the cutler protocol and if it didn't work, moved on from there. The cilantro/chlorella route, just hasn't been studied and articulated enough with proven results for me to give it credibility and priority in my list. Also, you may be one of the lucky ones who feels better (I am) when detoxing.,
