There is one thing people seem to forget or might not even be aware of. If you are experiencing mental symptoms such as depression, anxiety, memory loss, concentration problems and brain fog, detoxing with antioxidants and minerals won't help. Mercury is stored in the brain especially the hypothalamus and this is where the main problem lies. No amount of supplements will cross the blood brain-barrier and remove from the nervous system. This is why many people who just remove amalgams and take vitamins don't find relief from the list of mental symptoms. The only substances which crosses the BBB and detoxes heavy metals are alpha lipoic acid and the herb; cilantro. Vitamin C also crosses the BBB, but it has no thiol binding capacity such as ALA (which has one). With cilantro no one knows yet what substance is pulling out the mercury from the brain, but it does so. These must however NOT be taken before all amalgams are out and body tissue have been detoxed for months using vitamins/minerals and high protein (meaning animal protein - not vegetarian protein which contain high copper) diet. The body does naturally detox quickly if given the right nutrition and healthy lifestyle - the brain however will not detox heavy metals. So taking algin, chlorella antioxidants and minerals will help body detox, but doesn't touch the nervous system problem at all..........

For those who are extremely sick both mentally and physically, the nervous system is the MAIN problem and must be addressed.
