Just me, I made that recipe. It was delicious but I didn't add the chlorella. The devil is in the details. Chlorella is the key if the mercury is to be chelated out and not just immobilized.
I'm on day 2 of the metal detox. So far so good. I added digestive enzymes and no gas. My figures were off in the amount of chlorella to take. It's only 3/4 tsp. 3-4 times a day.
I will be a very, very happy woman if this clears up some fatigue, tinnitus and foggy head.
Thanks everyone for your help in getting this process started.
I need to find out if ALA and iodine actually chelates the mercury for excretion or if it immobilizes it only. Vit. C is suppose to get rid of heavy metals but I don't know if that chelates it or immobilizes it either. The devil is in the details.
I would say no, dont stop...you will probably see some reactions....herxes effect (is that the right wording?) you might get alot sicker before you start getting better, but dont stop...if it gets too bad, you might slow down a little, but dont stop...

Oh god, I forgot about the possible detox effect (herxheimer). I was hoping I'de be jumping around with a ton of energy and a brain sharp as a tack in a couple days. lol Not really, but this eye thing is really weird. My EYEBALL is detoxing. ! Metals Be Gone!!!
I've been thinking of my hormones being out of whack and my nutrients being low like B12 and zinc. For quite a while I've suspected mercury toxicity from growing up in Michigan eating fish from lake michigan 5 times a week. My dad was a professional fisherman. I also had many metal fillings in my mouth. All of them were taken out 8 months ago.
Before I go with getting hormone replacement and before my nutrient deficiencies are resolved with supplementation I think it's time to seriously to a mercury detox first. That may be the underlying issue to many of my health problems.
I have chlorella powder and cilantro tinxture but I'm kinda chicken to take them.
Anyone done a metal cleanse with a naturopath or with a program that you liked?
In the past I used:
2 months of what ever your normal diet is plus
Food Grade H2O2 35% 4 drops a day in a quart of water (do not excecced 4 drops..FGH2O2 can so easily be over done and almost everyone who takes it over does it)
32 oz of fresh juice vegetable ( mix in lots of cilantro)
Colonic daily with probiotic implant (do this until u can hold at least 32oz of water at a flush)
Master cleanse ( Squeeze Fresh Lemon Juice, then add Rich Maple Syrup, and Cayenne Pepper into Pure Water. 16oz or a day in the morning)
...But the above tech is way dated
The upgraded tech is now:
Humic and Fulvic Acid use as directed
Probiotic implant colonic daily.
I'd say the new tech is about 4 times more effective then the old and
that Humic and Fulvic acid are by far the best chelators I've ever see.
I stopped doing the mercury detox mainly because after doing it for 3 days I went to a hematologist who looked at my blood under a microscope. He didn't see any mercury and I took the chlorella and cilantro a couple hours before the appt. and 20 minutes before I put some cilantro tincture on my wrists.
I will continue to do the chlorella and cilantro periodically though just for overall metal detoxification.
Actually the old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" has a lot of truth in it. The malic acid and pectin are chelators.
Quite possibly the most effective and safest commercial product available for detoxing mercury and other heavy metals is a combination of PectaSol-C (Modified Citrus Pectin) and Algimate (Modified Alginate Complex), called PectaSol Chelation Complex. It's touted as being "The Only Oral Detox Solution Proven to Work in Human Clinical Studies" and is promoted and highly recommended by some well known alternative physicians/medical professionals - specifically, Robert J. Rowen, MD; Nan Kathryn Fuchs, PhD; Frank Shallenberger, MD; and Isaac Eliaz, MD, MS, Lac, who formulated the product.
I suggest you also read what the Life Extension Foundation has to say about the product (which they offer under the ecoNugenics label - same strength capsules but 50% higher recommended dose), including clinical studies, safety, etc., here:

I'm always interested in what Shallenberger and Rowan are doing..
Hi Beach Man!
Hi Arrow,
I'm glad you found my reply to your liking, but more important - hopefully it will help others eliminate their heavy metal problem with minimal or no side effects.

I'm still on the quest to clear out metals. So far I've stopped because my eyes have gotten blood shot.
Three options I'm considering now: Cyber-junkie found some EDTA suppositories that are a possibility. They cost a little over $100 for a months supply. My hematologist said to take 1 T. of apple pectin 2/x a day for 30 days. What Beachman suggests is taken orally and will cost about $200.
I went to a doctors office who does intravaneous with EDTA and DMSA to gather information. The cost will be huge compared to Beachman or Cyber-junkies idea with the supplements/suppositories. It'll be $225.00 per treatment with at least 10 needed.
The last thing I want to do is spend several thousands of dollars for a treatment that won't help me and worse yet create other problems.

What do you guys think?
mommysunshine,
Just a note of clarification about your above statement, "What Beachman suggests is taken orally and will cost about $200."
As can be seen in the second Link in my above Post, the cost of eight bottles of the product (plus free reports) is $199.95. That's an eight month supply for, as you state "about $200".
Also consider that one may not require the full eight months of treatment to accomplish his/her objective. In 2006 I had taken the Life Line Screening of my arteries. The results at that time for both my Left and Right Carotid Arteries were as follows:
MILD/MODERATE - Fairly low to moderate amount of plaque buildup not affecting blood flow velocities.
A few months ago, as I had had a mouthfull of mercury amalgam fillings, which have since been removed and replaced with composites, and as I have consumed (and continue to consume) a great number of cans of Chunk Light Tuna Fish (noted to contain small amounts of mercury) over the course of my lifetime, I took advantage of the sale on the three month supply, which I finished about two months ago. The intention, of course, was to gradually eliminate the mercury load from my body.
Then last month I again took the Life Line Screening. After performing his examination, the practitioner stated, "I find absolutely nothing. Your arteries are perfectly clear. Whatever program you're on, stay with it!" Of course that was music to my ears!! This time the report for both Left and Right Carotid Arteries reads:
Normal - Within Normal Range - Essentially minimal to mild plaque buildup. Blood flow velocities within normal limits. Your Carotid Artery Disease Screening results are Within Normal Range. This means that we have identified a negligible to minimal amount of plaque buildup in both of your carotid arteries, which is insignificant. The blood flow in your carotid arteries is also with normal range. Since the plaque buildup is not affecting the rate of blood flow, the velocity measurements for the internal carotid arteries will not be stated specifically in this report. However, your velocities fell below 110 centimeters per second, wihich is within normal limits.
As I had taken the product for the purpose of eliminating mercury from my body, the reduction, or according to the examiner the complete elimination, of plaque buildup from my carotid arteries was an unexpected but very welcome bonus! However, whether or not it was due in whole or in part to the use of that product or to the use of a couple of other products which I have been taking fairly regularly is still questionable. Nevertheless, I have since reordered and resumed the daily use of the product to hopefully at least downsize my mercury load.
