Thanks for the detailed response and link. I think I may be going overboard on the sulphur . . . my daily regimen goes something like this:

- dmsa: 200 mg every four days (this is what my homeopath reccommended, although I notice everyone else I've read suggest much higher doses)
- selenium: 200 mg on dmsa "off" days
- alpha lipoic acid: 300 mg/day
- chlorella: 1500 mg/day
- MSM: 1500 mg/day
- Vitamin E: 400 mg/day
- L-glutathione: 300 mg/day
- Amino Acid Supplement: 3000 mg/day (which includes methylsulfonylmethane)
- Zinc: 100 mg/day
- Vitamin B Complex
- Omega 3 EFA supplement
- Flaxseed oil: 1000 mg
- Probiotic cultures: 500 mg
- Vegetarian multivitamin with spirulina, chlorophyl, garlic, bee pollen
- Colloidal minerals (on dmsa "off" days)
- Echinacea: 300 mg
- Vitamin C (with calcium): 3000 mg/day

It's been three weeks since I've had my last amalgams removed (16 total) and I have to say, I feel worse, not better. When I had my first quadrant removed, I had a 3-week layoff before my next quadrant, and after 2 weeks, I felt fantastic: better than I've felt in a long time. I then proceeded to have the other 3 quadrants removed, one quadrant per week, and since then, I have gone down hard and can't seem to get back up. In retrospect, I regret having the other 3 quadrants removed in such a short time span (12 amalgams in 3 weeks) as I believe that an unusually high amount of mercury was released into my system without giving my body enough time to recover. My dentist, who has treated hundreds of patients with chronic mercury poisoning, suggested the sooner the better. My experience says otherwise, however.

I see the Green Zone product you recommended has alot of good things in it, including milk thistle, which I understand is good for cleansing the liver. I'm assuming the amino acid supplement I take is as good as, if not better than, a protein drink.

Are you still taking dmsa, even at this late stage?
