I got mercury poisoning from dental amalgams culminating in a significant loss of hair or alopecia arreata, eczema, and angular cheilitis (tears in the corners of my mouth) -- annoying symptoms, but relatively mild. I did about 7 DMPS treatments and simultaneously took DMSA after testing for 14x Mercury and 6x lead max levels. Did not like it due to the de-mineralization. However, this got rid of all my symptoms.

Afterward, I continued to detox, but did it slowly with natural methods. My favorite methods became cilantro/chlorella, TCM Herbal mixes and calcium bentonite clay. I used all frequently for past 6 months.

More recently, I used a footbath detox about a dozen times. I believe it mobilized a lot of mercury stored in my muscles. Initially i felt great, but started noticing the first angular chelitis since first detoxing.

I have used Chlorella sporadically, but very often for last 2 years and never had an issue. However, since using the footbath, the chlorella now makes me violently ill for about an hour.

I have been taking hot baths in edible pascalite clay. Two of them cured my chelitis and are making me feel better. Despite being very fit already, I also noticed that I was oddly stronger after the baths.

Question 1 -- Are the foot baths dangerous because they mobilize so much more than they really remove?

Question 2 -- Did the chlorella reaction happen because i mobilized so much mercury and am more sensitive now? Then is should go away eventually and I can resume taking it?

Question 3 -- the clay bathes seem so much stronger as a detox than I expected? No side effects? Does anyone know whether this is normally the case? I tend to throw about a liter or two of hydrated pascalite into the bath or onto my skin and get into the bath.

(A Liter of wet clay is about 3/8th of a cup of dry clay since it expand so much) I also use a TDP FAR Infrared Lamp when i sleep or to make the clay stronger.
