Hi Jose,

There are forums out there for just Cutler's protocol and then there are open forums that allow people to discuss anything in regards to amalgam/toxicity. I see your point, but remember that Cutler's protocol was not overly well known once and though it's becoming moreso, people still wish to have a place where they can freely discuss options/anything.

I too had amalgam removal done at first without protection. Goodness knows how I got away with it (or did I? I sometimes wonder). AT the time I seemed to. However, even though the last few were done WITH protection, I swallowed the grains of amalgam after the dentist removed the rubber damn and the assistant had failed to suck the removed amalgam out. I swallowed it. So yes, after that? I was extremely poisoned, very ill and that pretty much did it.

At any rate, it's a very long story. All my trials of trying this and trying that really didn't get me too far and once the mercury started to dump, I was REALLY in trouble. Every attempt at detox/chelation would produce intolerable symptoms and so bad, I'd almost go pyscho. Very close to being committed a number of times.

I finally stumbled on Cutler's protocol and that pretty much saved me I think. That's where I could detox my mercury and have my symptoms remain more stable, more sane. Not only that, it was more effective, so the mercury was actually coming out, more than just being moved around. No I didn't feel particularly good whilst doing it, I did feel quite ill, but that's because I was very toxic. However, I had no psycho symptoms! I was able to do this and start getting well.

I did not take care of thyroid and adrenals at that time - I needed to chelate and that's exactly what I did and that's exactly what started getting me well. Though some people may well need to take glandular support before chelating, so they are stronger to handle it. And supplements helped too. Mainly vitamin C powder with bioflavanoids, vitamin E and selenium and zinc. They were the main ones, but I'd recommend a person take more than this and do what Cutler prescribes.

Diet is also important. Treating candida, at least with diet, to my mind can be essential. Both for gut and liver, reducing yeast, supporting the immune system, supporting detox/chelation and handling mercury better by being stronger. Also, less strain on the glands. Candida itself can cause many problems too, alongside the mercury and there is no reason NOT to treat it, when diet alone can be of great help/support. Ridding mercury maybe the cure, but it is normally not easy to achieve, not quick to achieve and isn't so easily done in isolation.

Other supportive factors need to come into play. It is not easy to eliminate toxins either if a person is battling candida.

So yes, to be honest, I cannot really recommend anything else other than Cutler's protocol. I was years at it and wasted so much time, caused so much needless suffering and slowed down my healing becuase of messing around before I finally realised his was really the only one that was safer and worked.

Cheers
