Zinc is lost while chelating, however there is some concern that zinc might impede chelation, so zinc supplementation is probably best done between chelation rounds. Chelation might also be impeded by selenium, so I only take selenium supplements between chelation rounds.

It is important to focus on detoxification while chelating. One should take supplements that promote detoxification. Herbs such as licorice root, cayenne, turmeric, ginger, dandelion, milk thistle, red clover, burdock, and garlic.


Supplementation should be avoided other than iodine, salt, sodium bicarbonate. Food is supplementation. Garlic (and citric acid) will kill all the friendly bacteria, making the symptoms worse. Dead good bacteria will result in psychological problems since the bowels have to do with psychological mental health.

All your struggles beneath your disguise
Drink from the reasons that hold you alive
'Til we're safe from the wounds of desire and pain
You must rise from the mounds of desire and change
