Hi Jim,

There are differing opinions and protocols when it comes to mercury chelation. Not everyone responds well to the same protocol, so don't be discouraged if you've tried something and it didn't work for you. Some people don't tolerate DMPS or DMSA very well and need to detox more slowly.

Heavy Metal Detox does not contain DMSA, but it does contain ALA (alpha lipoic acid), NAC (N-acetyl cysteine), and a few other substances that can help chelate mercury and other heavy metals. The formula also contains algin, but I personally recommend taking extra Algin whenever you are taking chelators...you don't want to reabsorb the mercury you're trying to eliminate.

As with any chelator, I'd also recommend lots of antioxidants like Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids and Vitamin E with Selenium.
