What can I use to detox while I still have amalgams? I'm not well enough to have them removed right now and I always feel my detox options are limited ....
I don't want to mobilize mercury (which, for example, chlorella might do).
Help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like death warmed over.

Do *not* try to detox with your amalgams still in your mouth. It will just draw more mercury into your system. Don't make the same mistake I did!!!

Are you trying to generally detoxify or detox specifically mercury? There are lots of things you can do to detoxify without mobilizing mercury.
Some things specifically detox heavy metals. I'd probably stay away from those things until you can get the fillings removed.

Thanks, TestyTommy. Sory to hear you've been feeling bad ... What happened, if I may ask?
Sparkle, thanks for responding. I am just trying to generally detoxify. Can you give me some pointers as to what does and doesn't mobilize mercury?
I've been finding conflicting information online, and I'm dealing with so many issues right now that I would need to research 24/7 to get a handle on each problem.
So if someone could point me in the right direction as to what I can use without mobilizing mercury, I'd truly appreciate it.
My LLMD uses ALA, for example - and I've heard it can mobilize mercury. Same thing with chlorella. I read that it *can* mobilize mercury, yet my LLMD says, "Oh, we haven't been worrying about that too much. We've been using it ..."
What the heck? I just need some reliable information :-(

Charcoal I don't think mobilizes mercury, neither does baking soda (for foot/bath soaks).

Some people do P&B shakes which are psyllium seek hulls & bentonite clay. You can also add activated charcoal.
Just be sure to take this away from any drugs or supplements since it will absorb them, as well.
Some people are sensitive to psyllium but I never had any problems with it.
There are all kinds of targeted cleanses. Are there any particular body parts that you are trying to cleanse? There's lots of info on Curezone.org if you want to look there.

Takesumi charcoal and bentonite clay are two good detoxers.
Sweating is a good detoxer, especially if you can get an FIR sauna - far infrared sauna, the little tent you sit in, takes me about 1/2 hour to sweat.
I just watched a dental health summit. They did not recommend detoxing the mercury but rather, having the amalgams carefully removed by a biological dentist who knows how to remove amalgams carefully.
They also said there's a bloodtest that will show which replacement materials each person will do best with.

Thank you, Robin and Sparkle. You guys are brilliant, I'm very grateful!
Robin, I've been planning on having my amalgams removed. Should have done it a couple of years ago when I was feeling better. But my LLMD was against it at the time ...
I will look into Takesume charcoal and bentonite clay.
Sparkle, how did you do on chlorella? Did it help? Thanks for the chlorphyll link, will read ...
I guess I'm trying to detoxify my brain, mostly. I have Babs duncani, and I'm dealing with lots of neurological symptoms -- the biggest of which is disequilibrium/swaying/boat rocking.
I have this symptom 24/7. I feel it's neurological, not related to any ear issues (have absolutetly no hearing issues, knock on wood).
The swaying gets worse each time my babesia headache/head pressure gets worse - along with brain fog; then I feel like twenty trucks hit my head.
Burbur/Pinella helps, but I was looking for more stuff to detox. I will look into everything you suggested.
Again, thank you!

I found this article but it's a bit complicated.

Thank you, sparkle. I'm only now getting the chance to thank you for your last post.
I'm kind of scared of coffee enemas. Mostly I'm worried about not doing them right ... May have to bite the bullet.

A good way to start may be to try a plain water enema first - just to get used to doing them. It is kind of a hassle doing the coffee enemas but alot of people swear by them.
I haven't done one for a while but I'd like to start doing them again.

Nula, I made zero progress getting rid of heavy metals until I removed my amalgams. In fact my metals got worse trying to detox them with my amalgams in. My doc was surprised they were actually going up instead of down.
I too was never well enough to have them removed (lyme, lots of co infections). Yet as soon as they came out I felt better. The more I got out the better. I don't think I would have made any progress at all if I didn't get them out. Even taking out a few helped me.
Try to find a way to get your amalgams removed. I suggest a biological dentist if you can afford one. Also, you gotta TRY coffee enemas. You will feel much better in 15 to 20 minutes. It's easy. If you're like me, you will wish that you'd done them sooner. :)
