Yes I understand it does chelate some mercury. What I mean is don't experiment with taking larger doses of iodine while starting ALA or DMSA. You won't know what's causing what symptoms and it will be harder to control detoxing symptoms.

Bromide detoxing symptoms are horrendous. Adding in mercury detoxing symptoms would create a lot of problems. Most likely the person would have a total break down and would have to stop everything for a few weeks.
