Hey Wallace777,

I just read one of your previous posts where you say you are taking 200 mg of DMSA three times per day, and taking ALA on your off days.

If you want to follow Cutler's protocol, this is not correct and according to Cutler you are getting yourself into serious trouble.

I say this because of some of the questions you have asked. I know that when I was doing mercury detox initially and not knowing what I was doing I ended up hurting myself. If you have followed people's personal stories you have learned that detoxing mercury can be a dangerous thing to do and we all need to be careful.

What doesn't help is conflicting advice among the professionals that we patients refer to for help. Cutler says not to use chlorella, but Klinghardt and others say its use is fine. Reading deeper I found that 1 in 5 people can react negatively to chlorella before we even get to the science involved.

For this reason, we all need to be careful, read a lot, and don't use a lot of mercury detox drugs unless we at least have an idea of what we are doing.....easier said than done, espescially with brain fog.

One reason I am currently residing at this group is Russ' advice to start slow, add items one at a time, and see how these vitamins, minerals, and chelating agents affect you personally. I got into trouble previously by jumping in before I knew what I was doing (easy to do), and also by following the advice of some of the smarter people I know in this field.

What I discovered is that some of us are extremely sensitive to parts of the major protocols that others use. The protocol that got them better made me sicker. The truth is that I because so many supplements are required in Cutler's protocol (and other protocols) I really don't know what part made me sick.

That is why I started over again, this time with one item, and then each day I would add a single item to make sure my system was able to handle it okay.

I found myself getting really sick from just beginning with fresh cilantro. When my system finally settled down I began adding the supplements one at a time, and finally added chlorella, which also hit with strong symptoms.

In short, I started over taking full responsibility myself for everything that was happening to me. Slow and measured. I'm right in the middle of this process so ask me how it is going in a few months.

In the meantime, I'll continue asking questions and following everyone's posts to try to learn everything I can about this crazy mercury detox world we are all caught up in.

God help us all....
