I would personally go slowly with the Heavy Metal Detox, primarily because now that all your amalgams are out, your body will most likely start detoxing on its own. Dr. Cutler's book Amalgam Illness refers to this initial period of detox as the body getting rid of its "fast pool" of mercury. Some people may be able to handle detoxing right away, while others need to wait several weeks or a few months.

If you feel strong enough to start detoxing, I would recommend taking plenty of Algin, which will help prevent mercury from being reabsorbed and redistributed. Lots of vitamin C with bioflavonoids is also important. We use Citrus Bioflavonoids from Nature's Sunshine...it works great, is very high quality, and provides 500mg of vitamin C plus 50mg each of lemon/orange/grapefruit bioflavonoids, rutin, hesperidin and rose hips.

Vitamin E with Selenium is extremely important for mercury detox. I take either 400IU or sometime 800IU a day. I've recently read an animal study that showed that selenium binds with mercury, forming a "biologically inactive complex" that is "unable to pass biological barriers, placenta..." Because selenium works together with vitamin E, you want to take both together, like in Vitamin E Complete with Selenium.

That's the daily regimen we use: Citrus Bioflavonoids, Vitamin E Complete and Algin. For added chelating/detox, add Heavy Metal Detox. If you have certain health conditions you want to focus on, then add additional herbs/vitamins.
