Well, it might.

I worry that when someone is in a very fragile condition and feeling so horrible, that mobilizing mercury right away could make them feel much worse and then cause them to lose hope.

In the long run, I would definitely advocate chelating, it's just that K is in a low place and I don't know if mobilizing more mercury is a good idea now. Staying encouraged is important during the horrid symptoms that mercury induces.

I have seen some people, although a minority, experience an immediate benefit (feeling better) from chelating, so K could give it try, but if they begin feeling worse, it could cause a loss of more hope.

If they have the discipline to continue, I'm sure it will help in the long run, but I would tend to be more conservative in the short run in an extreme condition as this and try sweating first.

Hope this makes sense.
