Re: desperately need help, feeling trapped

The brand name chelation stuff is OK as an add-on, but it is not going to do the heavy lifting for you.

If I had to give you a short list of what I recommend after my own trial and error, it would look like this:

Chelation:
#1 = Get rid of any silver dental fillings
Read Andy Cutler's book "Amalgam Illness"
DMSA
DMPS (MercOut)
alpha lipoic acid
chlorella
lecithin
cilantro (after a year or so of just DMSA/ALA)


Detox:
Get in a sauna regularly--stay in 15 mins after your head starts to sweat

Take psyllium fiber every day to keep your bowels constantly moving to get the bad stuff out

apple cider vinegar (breaks up mucous throughout the body to keep detox pathways open)

Lugol's Iodine (for the thyroid)

Lots of vitamin C (5g-20g/day)

Vitamin D (at least 5,000iu/day) to boost glutathione and keep detox pathways open

oil pulling with sesame oil every morning

Do a few gall bladder flushes (olive oil, etc.) as your gall bladder is most likely full of toxic waste and stones

Multivitamin (I like NOW Foods "Adam")

NAC for the liver Tweet
