> You NEED to read Amalgam Illness by PHD Andrew Cutler. Immediately. Keep taking the selenium, but stop the other stuff. You need instructions on how to do this very dangerous stuff safely. The book does that.
The book is excellent and contains lots of technical information (vs. the kind you get from Mercola) on supplements.
> There are backfire websites with scary horror stories of what happened to people when they took cilantro, chlorella, ALA, chelation IVs,
> A common phenomenon is to feel really good right away as that mercury is moving, and then really really worse later after it resettles somewhere new.Been there, done that. I think it settles in familiar places though. Mercury has an affinity for glands (pituitary, adrenal, thyroid). When it hits the thyroid and adrenal I think that's anxiety hits hard.
>You need a double sulfur molecule to bind the mercury solidly all the way, which comes only in DMSA, DMPS, or ALA.
Or the new "expensive" things like PCA-rx and NCD as mentioned here: http://www.health-spy.com/
> There are only 3 chelators. DMSA, available on the net. DMPS, available by prescription. And ALA (alpha lipoic acid).
There is a study that pectasol chelates mercury and removes via the kidneys:

> Vitamin C as much as you can handle.
> Vitamin B complex what you are comfortable with.
> Selenium 400mcg, +or- 200mcg...selenium binds to mercury, does not mobilize it or chelate, but somewhat neutralizes its toxic effects.Zinc antagonises copper, molybdenum and spirulina remove mercury from the kidneys.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are essential in the synthesis of sulfur-ontaining amino acids, and must be included in the mercury detoxification regimen. Mercury causes rapid turnover of thiamine in the brain by converting it to thiochrome. Interestingly, the symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency and mercury toxicity are almost indistinguishable.
Vitamin E works with selenium to neutralize mercury.
