You're welcome smile

I'm glad to hear you're doing well with chlorella and cilantro! For me, it was risky. Cutler's worked well. Much safer, less redistribution of metals, and more of them were pushed out, rather than pushed around and forcing my body to try and do something with them and getting very hurt in the process quite often.

Sulfur hurt me quite a bit when very mercury toxic. I was well aware that it moved metals around though, but made me very sick in the process. Again, others do very well on sulfur and find it most helpful. You'll find people really vary with this.

For me a successful detox programme is not about eliminating detox symptoms, (which I think can be unrealistic when moving toxins), but keeping them tolerant or vaguely tolerant, whilst successfully removing mercury in the process. The kind that over time, the improvements inbetween begin to last longer and longer and the bad times because less and less.

I still believe that ALA (alpha lipoic acid) is necessary, even for those who say they feel better. There is often hidden stores of organ/brain mercury that may wind up causing future problems, particularly when something else comes along to knock the immunity down. Such remaining mercury may keep a person more vulnerable too. We don't often realise we can still have significant hidden stores of mercury when we are feeling much better. Very poisoned people who have been that way for such long periods of time, forget what it's like to be REALLY well. One might confuse 50% to 100% for example and exist like that quite well until a future problem comes along.
I don't know about Cutlers being much safer since the others are a food, thats just my take on that there.

You also mention the metals bounced around in your body and redistribution, wouldn't the Algin or Apple Pectin which trap it take it out and stop it from going elsewhere in abundane? Thats what it is supposed to do right? I always think of that and want to try it to see how it works.

I am not saying anyone is wrong and I am right, but I just read up and thats just a theory of mine when it comes to this mercury detox stuff. Cilantro I did well on! I took too much one night and felt weird, but otherwise I did really well on it for a few weeks. I used to tolerate Chlorella great too, do I still? I have no clue maybe I can try it again.

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.
