Chelating from Mercury

Hi everyone,

so I had the urine test and it finally came back that I have too much Mercury in my system.

so my MD (also holistic doc) wants to be chelate once a week with Thornes Captomer (DMSA) and also do an IV to chelate once per month for the next 4 months.

It seems when I did the one a week DMSA from thorne research (captomer)I had some mild adverse reaction. and I have of course also had one IV for chelation right before my urine test.

Is there anyway to chelate or detox from mercury using something that will not cause any negative reactions? i read something about cilantro supplements

My doctor also has me using a mineral supplement, Iodine supplement, and chlorophyll supplement.

any help would be appreciated... Im not that educated on heavy metal poisoning, specifically from mercury. We have an idea the mercury came from eating tuna (all forms of it)

so- i switched to salmon instead.

=)
