"it would be very wise to first remove the parasites from your body and THEN attempt to chelate the heavy metals"
Interestingly, that is exactly the same approach that the DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) Autism doctors take. DAN doctors are a national affiliation/network of MD's who believe that Autism is treatable primarily with Mercury chelation work and gut/Candida work and a strict gluten-free/casein-free diet. Apparently, the Autistic kids typically have severe gut problems due to Candida, and Candida is aggravated by Mercury.
I am not Autistic, but I had seen a DAN MD just to get some guidance/knowledge/insight regarding Mercury chelation, and this DAN MD that I saw insisted that I must first do a protocol of anti-Candida prescrip meds and do a strict anti-Candida GF/CF diet before doing any chelation work. This doctor told me that I had to kill off the Candida first before doing any DMSA, because the sulfur in the DMSA would feed the Candida. I got no real benefit from the anti-Candida prescrip meds that this doctor prescribed; I tried about five different anti-Candida prescrip meds via this DAN doctor, tried one at a time in a specific DAN-directed sequence.
For the record, I got no new chelation knowledge from this DAN doctor; I was very disappointed to learn that this DAN doctor's "great" chelation plan was to eventually have me take oral DMSA down the road. You see, I had already done several bottles of DMSA before even seeing this DAN doctor (you do not need an MD to get DMSA), and the DMSA did nothing for me back then.
iloveamma, FYI, oral DMSA is nothing special; it is known as being only a very weak chelator of Mercury, it aggravates Candida, and it depletes good minerals. Perhaps the MMS itself can also eliminate your Mercury, and then you won't have to do any chelation at all. By the way, what tests have you done which indicate that you indeed have a Mercury problem?
iloveamma, as far as your own bad experience that you described above is concerned, no one can say for certain whether you are just having a classic case of MMS-induced severe die-off reactions or else a bad interaction with DMSA. Who really knows? I would say though, just stick with the MMS standalone at very low doses, because the MMS obviously seems to be doing stuff bigtime in you.
Hang in there,

Also, note that Three-Lac is strictly a gut-only product, that is, Three-Lac does not pass into the bloodstream and thus does not systemically work throughout the entire body, whereas MMS does pass into the bloodstream and presumably thus does work throughout the entire body.
The very latest status about me & MMS is that yesterday I tried one 5-drop dose of MMS (activated with 25 drops of 10% citric acid solution), taken with just added water (no added apple juice), and I successfully got the significant die-off reaction (of increased anxiety/OCD) that I was looking for, and which I needed to get to prove to myself that the MMS was still doing something in me.
I got considerably more die-off reaction from the one 5-drop MMS dose taken yesterday taken with just added water (no added apple juice), than I did from taking two taken on the same day 15-drop MMS doses taken 2 days ago taken with added apple juice and activated each time with 1 full teaspoon of 10% citric acid solution.
It seems that the added apple juice was somehow significantly diminishing the potency/efficacy of the activated MMS. As I previously posted about here, the added apple juice was instantly turning a weird dark brown color when combined with the activated MMS, which sounds to me like some sort of instant chemical reaction was taking place between the activated MMS and the added apple juice.
It seems that the activated MMS with the added apple juice seemed to just stop working for me (seemed to stop producing die-off in me.)
Now I will be using much less MMS, just one 5-drop dose per day activated with 25 drops of 10% citric acid solution, but taken with only added water (no added apple juice), sucking on a peppermint lifesaver while drinking the MMS drink to mask the bad taste.
