Ole I would buy Dr. Cutler's book so you can understand where he is coming from. You can't detox mercury with natural foods. It is not safe.

Garlic isn't a mercury chelator. All it will do is stir it up in your body, but not allow it to be excreted. You will have increased symptoms and could actually get permanently worse. Also if you experience a lot of symptoms with garlic it could in fact be yeast die off or parasite die off and NOT mercury.

With the DMSA it was designed to be used in children for lead poisoning. It has the right molecular composition to grab onto mercury without letting go (2 or more Thiol groups). Chlorella and cilantro do not have the necessary molecular structure(1 Thiol group) to remove mercury from the body. When these two pick up mercury there is a greater chance of it being dropped off into another part of the body. This can all be read on pages 199-204 in Dr. Cutler's book.

I edited that part in because I was concerned about what you said about DMSA and garlic. I wouldn't trust garlic to chelate mercury.

I have always called it dizziness. I'm not even sure what vertigo is! haha I am unable to drink alcohol at all. It makes me ill within 3 sips. Just the smell of it gets me going and it's hard to explain to friends why you don't drink. They think you are weird or something.

Just the other day I had a tiny drink of kahlua and chai. The rest of my night was ruined. The heart palpitations started. The blood pressure fell and the heaviness in my body started. My body can't metabolize it.

My sugar intake is pretty limited. I gave up chocolate and most sugary foods are full of bad ingredients. I've cut high fructose corn syrup, msg, all artificial sweeteners and GMO foods out. This is a lot harder than you'd think. We now shop exclusively at Whole Foods because the stores around here are terrible. You can't eat out, can't drink American beer, you can't really do anything sociably without worrying about what's in the food. Getting a cup of coffee is a problem because of fluoridation. Diet is very important. If I was still eating McDonald's I'd be much worse off.

My one uncle told us we were too skinny and that we needed to start eating anything that tastes good because that's what he does...Apparently telling someone they are "too skinny" (normal weight) in front of the whole family is okay. But telling them they are too fat is bad. I HATE family gatherings.

You also asked about constipation and I've never had that problem. All though according to some natural health doctors they say you should be going 4-5 times a day and I definitely don't go that much. I don't eat enough food to go that much...LOL I only eat about 1200 calories a day and I STILL GAIN WEIGH....GRRR.
