Congratulations on your removal.
Do I really need to wait until all the mercury is out before starting a detox program? What are the risks?
Mercury detox generally involves introducing extra sulfur into your system. Mercury detox is almost always about sulfur. If you still have fillings in, it's believed that this sulfur can increase the mobilization of mercury from fillings because mercury binds to sulfur. It's generally believed that any sulfur-based detox should begin only after all amalgams have been removed or you risk increasing your mercury exposure.
If in fact the answer is yes I DO need to wait, then what can I do in the meantime to control the mercury in my system? During that period I would definitely use your recommendations to alleviate mercury poisoning symptoms, Russ -thanks so much for sharing those!
Algin, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.
Algin 4 caps 3 times per day between meals.
Is algin before & after the procedure, and activated charcoal under the tongue during it, my best defense? Should I consider chlorella before & after? Is it just ALA I should avoid until all mercury is removed?
Algin can - and should - be used with amalgams still in... and after they are removed.
Chlorella should not be used before all amalgams are removed because it contains massive amounts of sulfur. That is why chlorella is used for mercury detox.
ALA should be avoided before all amalgams are removed. After amalgams are removed, ALA should be started in small amounts (12 to 25mg) only, slowly working you way up as described in the mercury detox program in this forum. Too much ALA is the most common cause of severe mercury symptoms after mercury removal that I've found in the numerous people I've spoken with.
If there are other mercury symptoms (there are about 200) that you experience, they can be dealt with on a one-by-one basis. Whether they be thyroid issues, depression, joint pain, headaches, constipation, etc., there are temporary solutions that can help until the mercury is out.
Hope this helps.
