Don't blame chelation. Chelation is important, however one must take plenty of mineral supplements during the process, as those who are mercury toxic are typically deficient in essential minerals, and chelation makes this situation worse. While whelating, one must be sure to get enough sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. 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. I agree on supplemention, maybe Minerals in good amounts are fine but people using high supplements seem to not do well for long (It's a bandaid) and even decline over time and then wonder whats wrong or why they are imbalanced. I do not like high doses of supplements long term and never did, as you said FOOD is your supplementation. People can use things like Molasses for Minerals or Alfalfa etc., that would be alot better than just using straight up high doeses of things long term which can deplete your body more of minerals and in essence cause a problem. I can understand where he's coming from. He has malabsorbtion problems, so he supplements. But I still advice against it strongly. Supplementating with other than what I mentioned does not address the cause of malabsorbtion. We need to stop dealing with symptoms and get to the root. Mercury is only part of the root.
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
