Hi Sunshine,

Yes, chlorella was a painful experience for me when I used it once during post amalgam detox period. I should really be stronger with my comments on it Sunshine. I think because some do well (e.g. even Cutler says some do well on high sulfur), is where I hesitate to condemn it under all circumstances. However, I think it's unnecessary to do chlorella regardless.

I remember taking it and winding up on the floor between the bed and the wall screaming. This was a typical and bizzare response to products or wrong methods of chelation in me. Sometimes I'd be up all night in torment. So yes, that should tell people that these things can move mercury into worse and more sensitive areas (all over the place).

Cilantro did nothing for me accept again, move mercury everywhere. I did not notice any improvements with it whatsoever. Though apparently some do, I'd not take the risk. Though I think Andy said some may use it IF they have chelated their body load of mercury and it's their only option if ALA proves a problem. But he does not recommend as he is not certain enough how it works to sort out a safe protocol. The risks are really up to the person.

Definitely out of everything I tried - nothing came close to Cutler's protocol, which got the mercury OUT of me, and out of me in a much safer manner. It also kept symptoms more tolerable and sane, rather than out of control and completely tormenting (how many times was I nearly taken to a psych unit after trying to detox my mercury outside of Cutler's protocol....alot).

All I can say is. This is a tried, tested and logical protocol that has been proven many times in it's effectiveness and safety for many people. I guess what I"m saying is, why do it any other way, when you have this to use? Why take unnecessary risks with such a potent neurotoxin like mercury? Mobilising mercury all over the place is not wise due to the damage it can do. The body does it's best to store it as safely as it can and we disrupt this by using wrong products or products the wrong way by erratic and wild movement. I've experienced that MANY times and I still wonder if damage was done by it....possible.

There are of course some people who have and do take the products Andy warns against and for some reason, do well. However, how many victims has Andy had to deal with that have NOT done well and he has to try and fix? If he can do so. Correcting the results of a wild mobilisation of mercury is not easy. Been there. Cutler's helped me out many times and saved my bacon from some terrible reactions.

another one that happened was a product given to me. Just nutrients to help with detox....hmmmmm. Well, ignorant I was. I barely checked the ingredients and didn't realise that it contained some ALA and other chelating agents. I wondered why I had the same horrific bizzare reaction, until I read the ingredients and figured out that it was because the stuff in it was moving/mobilising mercury. Because ALA was not being used according to Cutler's protocol, it was erratic and risky movement of mercury. And no doubt some would have gone into the brain.

I was then put on NDF (which is a chlorella in nanonised form and cilantro). This also produced a massive "healing crisis", but so bad, that I was bedridden.

Don't get me wrong, healing symptoms are not bad. But it's where they can become out of control and intolerable that things are not right. And that appears to be much reduced with Cutler's protocol, which is a testament to how well thought out it is, logical it is and safe it is (with many anyway).
