Hello Tia and welcome.
basically i am having my amalgams removed by the end of july and want to know what supplements are best to take to get rid of the mercury from the body.
About two-thirds down on this page is a section called mercury detox. It goes into detail about detox methods. I think it will help:
http://orbisvitae.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=45573#Post45573Detox is more of an art than science because you have to constantly monitor your body and see if you're mobilizing too much mercury or not.
i don't want to take DMSA or DMPS (I think tahts what its called). I would rather take ALA and cholerlla but i know that some cholerlla contains mercury. which brand have people had success with which is mercury free?
I originally used Sun brand chlorella when I detoxed years ago. It's also important to take Vitamin C and E, and Algin for protection during detox.
ALA is good, but you have to start with very small amounts.
Many people are having good long-term success with oral DMSA, but the FDA is pulling it from the market, so if you change your mind about it, it would need to be soon.
also is ALA a good supplement to take to get rid of the mercury from the body.
ALA is great for detoxing the brain, but again, start very slow. And be sure to read the article linked to above for details about ALA.
finally has anybody had any luck with a product called HMD
HMD is an excellent product, but it's very strong. It's so strong that it can make you feel bad when used on very mercury toxic people.
If you decide to use it, I would also add additional Algin. It does contain some, but I think more it necessary.
Glad to help and let us know if you have any more questions.
