I can tell you from personal experience and from somebody with completely screwed up detox pathways, that exercise has been one of the things that has been VERY powerful towards detoxing or at least aiding detox for me.

Not just with sweating, but increased oxygen, helping to mobilise stored toxins, getting the circulation moving, the lymph moving, the muscles working etc etc. I would say absolutely this is essential. I have not used a sauna ever, but this has been very effective.

The best of any exercise I have tried has been my trusty ole treadmill. This really started to increase my detox power. Especially good if you, like me, have anxiety problems with leaving the house, or you just feel like garbage and want to stay indoors.

I got a good quality one, paid it off, and made sure it has inclines, so that I can walk "uphill", or at least a slight incline to increase/intensify the activity and of course, the detoxing that goes with it. Been probably one of the best purchases I have ever made and it's still with me after about 8-9 years.

I find I usually require a day break between exercising and this also allows my body to catch up to the toxins loosened by the day before. Sometimes I may even have two days break if required. I usually only do about 30 minutes of walking on a slight incline. Then I do a few strengthening exercises for my arms and legs. Just push ups and stand ups basically.

I found when I started exercising that toxins started to come through the eyes. A strange kind of feeling of "dampness", not unpleasant strangely enough - hard to explain. and other symptoms, including an increase in appetite also. Like things are beginning to flow more.

Now if this can work for me who has severe problems with detoxing, then it should be helpful to others also. I cannot even respond to chelation properly, so this for me is something I really rely upon to keep things in a moving state. perhaps other things happen too. It feels like the toxins are being turned into a form that my body can better excrete (if that makes sense). I can't really explain the sensation.

You can also have baths and make them hot (not hot enough to where you feel woozy though). And add epsom salts to it, or a combo of baking soda and sea salt (1 cup or more of each). This encourages sweating and helps with toxin release apparently and I think it worked for me pretty well at one stage. I think I need to do this again.

Apparently garlic can help make toxins water soluable, so they are more easily excreted, so I've heard, but this would depend upon your reactions to sulfur as to whether you can tolerate garlic. I'd recommend the raw food, rather than supplements, as I've been injured by it in supplement form. If however you find it's causing too many problems in mercury symptoms, then you do not need to continue with it. It is indeed a strong mobiliser of toxins.

And of course, getting enough iodine (which mercury blocks the action of). I found increased iodine intake was crucial! I had traded my iodised table salt for natural rock salt (thinking I was doing the right thing), but I had not realised the damage I was doing by the lack of iodine in that particular natural salt, until I got so ill I could barely move. Testing was done and showed my iodine level was very very low. as soon as I took iodine, I improved with a day or two and noticed an increase in detoxing also, as well as some energy. So much so, I had to take breaks from it or lessen the dose until my body adjusted more because of the detox symptoms.

And of course the importance of diet goes without saying. Without that, the body may not be able to respond to much else (at least mine doesn't). I got so ill without a good diet in place, that it didn't really matter what I took, my body was too ill to even respond or utilise it. And antioxidants are also very helpful and by increasing your body's ability to detox too.
