Binding and removing toxic metals: Protocols for safe heavy metal mobilization.
Chelation uses agents that bind to heavy metals, forming complexes that can be excreted through urine or stool. Different chelators have affinity for different metals. Proper protocol prevents redistribution of toxins.
| Chelator | Primary Metals | Route | Half-Life | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DMSA | Lead, Mercury, Arsenic | Oral | 3-4 hrs | Safest, doesn't cross BBB |
| DMPS | Mercury, Arsenic, Lead | Oral/IV | 8-10 hrs | Stronger mercury affinity |
| EDTA | Lead, Calcium | IV/Oral | 1-2 hrs | Cardiovascular benefits |
| ALA | Mercury (Brain) | Oral | 3 hrs | Crosses BBB—use carefully |
| Chlorella | Various (mild) | Oral | N/A | Natural binder, gentle |
Considered the gold standard for safe mercury detoxification.
Low, Frequent Doses
Every half-life to prevent toxin redistribution.
Around the Clock
DMSA every 3-4 hours, including through the night.
Rounds (72-96 hrs)
Minimum 3 days on, followed by equal or more time off.
Every 3-4 hours for 72+ hours.
Every 3 hours. Only add after 3 months of DMSA.
• Amalgams FIRST: Never chelate with mercury fillings in place.
• Don't Skip Doses: Missing a dose causes immediate redistribution.
• Start Low: High doses mobilize more than the body can excrete.
• Medical Supervision: Always work with an experienced practitioner.
