Trying to put together a detox for heavy metals. I know everyone is different and damage can be done through chelating improperly. I haven't started yet. BUT I have had mercury amalgams removed (3). I like the idea of using bentonite clay and Everyday Fiber. I also have a heavy metal supp which includes algae, nac, magnesium, ala, seaweed. Don't want to get the cart in front of the horse if you know what I mean. Want tp take it slow. I'm not interested in IV chelation as I have heard it can be harsh. Don't think my kidneys can handle hardcore chelating. I think I want to get intestines detoxed first and go from there.

Does anyone have experience in this arena? If so, would you mind sharing what you have done or what has worked for you?

Healing Everyday,
Meanmom

Hi meanmom, I just wanted to let you know that I only edited your post to put a title on it so that you will get those that have some ideas or experience with this attention and some possible help.

I bathe in the bentonite clay & epsom salts. I use the Aztec brand from Amazon. Just don't get your hair in it because it makes it feel yucky. I sometimes mix some up as a mask while I'm at it.

I use it for my kids too. My youngest had a lot of heavy metals in her hair test. Every single one went down in 3 months. I can't directly say it was the baths, because I also give her green smoothies 2-3 times a week and occasionally Nutramedix Sealantro at night. However, something was working so I'm going to keep doing it.

For example, her Aluminum level went from 6.2 to 3.2, Uranium .72 to .27. The other numbers are not so drastic. I plan to retest in February in hopes they keep going down. I want some of them to totally disappear!

I believe Redmond Clay is food grade. I have some but have not used it yet.

I have also done oral DMSA chelation. Put that on hold for awhile since I've got a lot going on with herbals/antibiotics. I followed the Andy Cutler protocol.

Thanks K07. Do the green smoothies include cilantro?

No, but I should! I was putting a scoop of Green Vibrance in them but have since cut down on that due to an article I read about it containing arsenic. I also use nutramedix sealantro which is a chlorella/cilantro mix. I do it right before bed.

I found a liquid bentonite clay - not sure whether that is worth trying.

Right now I'm taking cilantro tincture and chlorella from Biopure. Also upped my glutathione, vitamin c and magnesium. Just temporary until I have a follow up with my LLND.

my llnd believes heavy metal toxicity to be the 1st line in the weakening of the immune system and the main reason why majority of lymies dont kill the bacteria....SO my 2nd course of Lyme treatment involved I.V chelation which was HORRIBLE because it caused severe muscle cramps. After 8 I.V sessions I then did oral supplementation but that also caused muscle cramps.

Im not sure how or what to think about the technique they use of measuring the levels, as its a provoked testing method. It does seem though that there shouldne be ANY measurable amounts-right?

My new ND doesnt seem to be interested in considering heavy metal toxicity at all; so hopefully the chelation I DID HAVE was effective.

good luck to you, and hope your treatment is helpful

Meanmom - thought of you today - i added fresh cilantro and chlorella powder to my green smoothie. Tastes pretty bad but if it works I'll suck it up!
