Sorry I'm late again to the party (It's been a long couple days for me). I didn't intend to post and then not be able to reply again for a few days, so I do apologize for the delay. I haven’t read the replies but I’m sure there’s some good info in there and perhaps your frustrations have already been addressed.

Yes, there's going to be conflicting advice on message boards. We are just regular people with different philosophies and intuitions about things. I’m sorry to say this type of stuff (amalgam replacement, detox/nutritional therapy, etc) is still in a bit of a rogue state with varying beliefs on what works best. And admittedly, many times the same ingredients may not work the same or as effectively for everyone. But the protocols and methodology are sound. Protect, Enable, Detox/Chelate (in that order) is how I see it. What you choose to accomplish this can vary.

You’re going to have to educate yourself as much as possible, and based on what feels right and sounds logical to you, make the best decision for yourself. We’ve all had to face that challenge here. If something is not working, try and re-experiment, but don’t give up. I personally really try to research the Science of it all and be very weary/careful with the fad-like exploitation BS remedies out there. And believe me there’s some of that going on, and that hurts the cause.

From some of your answers it sounds like you and a knowledgeable Dentist took precautions before and during removal, which is great! Well done. That’s half the battle, and despite how you feel now, you would have felt doubly worse (in my opinion) had you gone to a generalist. BTW, Did you holistic dentist recommend anything?

You are correct in that you really don’t want to “chelate” while Amalgams are still in your mouth. However, during this period, you want to ramp-up your body’s detoxification and protection abilities but limit mobilization. There’s a big difference between chelating versus enabling your body to detox and protect itself. The body will chelate naturally on its own without aids so the 1st step is to help this process along by putting in some protective/enabling mechanisms, as well as using some binding agents to carry the Hg out. I think it was a mistake to stop (if indeed that’s what you did) any protection/enabling methods because you misunderstood them as “chelation”.

Chlorella, all the sulfur-bearing substances, the amino acids, and the antioxidants are not chelators really. Although they attach to Hg molecules, it is typically only with the ones that are free-floating in your blood, cells, and intestines that your body has mobilized on its own or had an increased exposure from (amalgam removal). They basically help protect and enable your body’s natural detoxification pathways. Chlorella just sits in your gut and waits for Hg to be dumped. It then binds and carries it out. This is IMMENSLY important since 80-90%of Hg is eliminated through your stool. Take this away and your body re-absorbs Hg.

If you’re having problems with Chlorella, you can buy the broken cell version or take enzymes with cellulase. Or, you can also try another green food like Algin (some people have reported success with it), although I have no experience with that one specifically. Another colon detoxifier is the Bentonite clay. Taken by itself, or used with the famous P&B shakes work quite well while detoxifying Hg because you have to drink lots of water and the bulking agent acts like pipe cleaner moving metal toxins that accumulate on the sides of your intestines out of your body.

Sorry this all so confusing. I wish I could help more other than saying “don’t give up”. I think you’re (and definitely were) on the right path though. If you have problems, try to find another way or alternate way of taking/doing the same thing. I do empathize with your situation, but if you keep helping your body along, I promise you, you will feel better eventually.

Best,PB
