There are a lot of mercury detox protocols out there. They use many different chelators, supplements, diets, gadgets, and other products. But all those protocols are ineffective and the majority of them are actually very dangerous. Some people get better when using protocols like that, and then think it's because those protocols work. But that's not true! The reason why those people are getting better is because they had their Amalgam fillings removed. When you remove your fillings, the concentration of mercury in your body starts to drop. It keeps on dropping for a looooong time, and during all this time the patient might be constantly improving even without any detox treatment. But, by only removing Amalgam fillings a patient can only improve to a certain extent or might not improve at all. This depends on how hard is his body holding on to mercury. The bottom line is, if you don't use Andy Cutler's protocol you can never get completely cured! The problem with other protocols is that they only mobilize mercury, stir it around, and then dump it again in the most sensitive tissues. That's why they are so dangerous. Using protocols like that is actually a lot worse than using nothing at all. But Andy Cutler's protocol is different and here is why. Every chelating agent has a specific half life, which means it will only stay in the body for a certain time. Once the levels drop, the mobilized mercury resettles. And what Andy Cutler's protocol does, is that it keeps constant level of chelators in the body for a long time. This makes it possible for these chelating agents to actually escort mercury out of the body and not just stir it around. His protocol achieves this by very frequent administration of chelators. If you're currently using some protocol you should stop immediately. Even if you've been using one specific protocol for a long time without any adverse reaction, it's still possible it will hurt you the next time (however, there are protocols out there that are not dangerous, but that's only because they don't mobilize mercury at all). If you want to get completely cured, then you'll have to get familiar with Andy Cutler's work and use his chelation protocol. There is no other way!

You can buy his book "Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment" on his website: http://www.noamalgam.com/
You also need his second book "Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities", which you can also get on his website: http://www.noamalgam.com/hairtestbook.html

Andy's Cutler's protocol is, thanks to Moria Merriweather, also described on this site (follow the links): http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/
But be aware this site is no substitution for the books. You have to get them also, they're essential.

You can also check these forums but be careful who you listen to. I personally don't trust anybody but Andy Cutler, and i only follow his advices.

PS. In this post I'm not quoting Andy Cutler! I'm only explaining things the way i understand them.
