Hi Diana,

Here are some answers for you...

What are the problems with not being tested for a correct material?

Although there are many brands of filling material, they all fall into about 5 categories. All of the them have their pros and cons, but all of them are far, far healthier than amalgam. There really is no comparison.

How do you know when to go to the next phase?

Once you no longer have mercury symptoms increase when you increase dosages, you can move on to the next phase.

This amount of time can vary widely from person to person.

Is there anywhere on this site that gives Russ's day by day protocol of how many of each supplement was taken?

When I detoxed, I didn't know much about mercury and detox because I had just learned about it. Now, I've been reading and studying it for about 9 years so I've accumulated quite a mass of information.

For this reason, I think it's best to supplement according to each individual's condition.

If you're interested in mercury detox, I would probably use DMSA. If you're interested in solving other health issues, just let me know what they are and I'll see if I can tell you what people (or I) use for it.

Here's an article that speaks about DMSA chelation:
