Hi, I assume you intended to write, "Why should one stop when missing a *dose* during the round?

Yes, Cutler's protocol instructs people who miss a dose to stop the round.

I wake a few hours after the end of the round to take extra supplements especially antioxidants--vitamin C, E and selenium, Zinc, magnesium, Ca citrate ( I have or had a cadmium problem), etc.

The antioxidants will help to defend your body from the mobilized--kicked up--heavy metals (HMs). We want plenty of antioxidants on hand to bind with the HMs and make it less likely that the HMs will bind with one of the more vulnerable part of the body--brain, thyroid, adrenals, liver, a hormone receptor related to the stress response system, etc.

I especially like selenium at this time since it binds quite well with a number of HMs. Although the HM will eventually unbind, I hope that it will happen when there is plenty of other antioxidants present rather than when a large amount of mobilized HMs are present.

Essentially I don't want my body's antioxidant defenses to be overwhelmed by the mobilized HMs.

So much of the Cutler protocol is designed to avoid "redistribution" of HMs from a part of the body that is not so vulnerable to them, to a part of the body that is quite vulnerable to them and holds onto to them rather tightly.

Cutler once explained this in a discussion with the moderator of one of the Yahoo groups.

Some people are quite vulnerable to that redistribution, especially their psych symptoms. They might get gains in other systems in their body while skipping night doses as HMs are removed from the blood and some other parts of the body.

This member's post should be interesting to you. He was actually not following AC protocol since he was skipping doses at night.
