Vitamin E is essential to protect you from the damage the mercury does when you chelate it out of the brain.

The essential supplements DURING chelation are:

vitamin E (every 24 hours)
vitamin C (every 6 hours)
Zinc (every 6 hours)
Magnesium (every 6 hours)
Lipoic Acid (every 3 hours - 4 hours at night)

If you can take other minerals and vitamins to reduce symptoms and support your body.

Before you start study cutler's protocol closely. You can hurt yourself if you don't understand what you are doing.


I won't jump into andy's thing without reading more, I know that the Kombu which contains the alginates helps mop it up out of your stomach and prevents it from reabsorbing, plus I never heard any negative about it so it can't hurt (Infact it could help). Thanks for the supplement listing though, I use the Zinc and Magnesium already and I am going to use the Vitamin E when I get it as well. I will hold off a little on the ALA and read more though, I love to study before I get into things.


In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
