Hello Ken and all...
I have this book: http://www.noamalgam.com/ it is VERY good and the author
is a regular poster answering people's questions on this Yahoo Group:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/ his name is Andrew
Hall Cutler.
He has a Very Thorough mercury detox protocol and he goes into great detail
about what it takes to get Mercury out of your brain as opposed to just
getting it out of your body. Apparently, ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) crosses
the blood brain barrier to get the mercury out.
An important part of his protocol is the timing of the doses. He has a
"several days on, several days off" protocol and the timing of the doses is
CRITICAL - meaning you have to take your ALA every 4 hours including getting
up in the middle of the night to take your dose.
He uses DMPS for mercury chelation and does not recommend chlorella or
Cilantro. About EDTA, in his book he states, "EDTA is an intravenous
chelating agent for lead. It is not very selective and superseded for
practical purposes by DMSA. EDTA is used by alternative physicians to treat
coronary artery disease, intermittent claudication, and peripheral
neuropathy with some success. It is not generally helpful for chronic
fatigue and other mercury related symptom complexes. Physicians familiar
with EDTA may not be aware that it is not the medication of choice to treat
lead or mercury intoxication at present."
Regarding DMPS he states, "DMPS is a chelating agent for mercury and
arsenic. Currently investigational in the US. DMPS is a water soluble
dimercapto chelating agent that stays outside the cells. It mops up mercury
and suppresses symptoms very well. Large doses (e.g. 3 mg/kg IV) have been
associated with risks of liver damage, neutropenia, and other serious
adverse reactions. Deaths may also have occurred. There are no statistics
but best estimates are that the risk may be as high as 17% per patient
undergoing monthly DMPS therapy by injection. Lower intravenous doses
appear to be safer, but not safe. Intramuscular administration appears to
be associated with more sever side effects and a greater risk of adverse
reactions. It is also painful. If yeast or fungus infection occurs or
progresses during therapy, suspect neutropenia. Agranulocytosis can occur.
When used properly by oral administration every 8 hours DMPS if fairly safe
and works very well. Proper use is described in the text. Orally
administered DMPS relieves symptoms more promptly and completely than DMSA
for the duration of therapy despite the fact that no more mercury is
excreted. It is often tolerated by people who do not tolerate DMSA, or has
a similar side effect at a reduced level that may permit therapy. DMPS
increases the excretion of mercury in the urine but not in the feces. It
also increases the excretion of copper and other essential elements in the
urine, but this does not significantly affect the body's balance since these
are primarily excreted in the feces.
I have to run but sometime tomorrow I'll post what he says about ALA (Lipoic
Acid), Chlorella and Cilantro if anyone wants me to.
I HIGHLY recommend: 1) his book and 2) the Yahoo Group I listed links to.

Subject: Re: CS>Mercury toxification cure?
I think we discussed this before, folks. The cilantro
"cure" if I remember correctly, does not actually
remove mercury from the body altogether. The study, I
believe, said that it was able to move the mercury
from the brain to less dangerous locations, however.
I wish I had the information again. I could probably
find it if I look on the 'net again. Anyway, if one
is in serious need of mercury removal, EDTA treatment
will do it. However, the highest amount of mercury
removed involves between 10-20 treatments of something
like 3-4 hours hooked up to an IV with the EDTA
solution. There might be better ways but that is the
traditional one.
