Its great you have done so well with chlorella but I have to stress again that it caused a massive relapse with me probably because I have autoimmune thyroditis and the excessive iodine and selenium in the chlorella affected my thyroid very badly making me extremely hyper, unable to sleep and completely wired. This naturally can only go on for so long before the inevitable crash of the adrenals and in my case the immune system too.
There are many many cases of people being badly affected by Dr K's protocol and Andy Cutler of noamalgam.com advises mercury toxic people never to touch chlorella. Of course we are all different but I feel it is too dangerous to mess about with it when one can use a proper chelator like DMSA which will definitely take out the heavy metals. Of course again one has to use a safe protocol and only chelate when all the amalgams are gone but at least with DMSA because it contains 2 thiols this will tightly bind the metals and take them out of the body through the kidneys. Chlorella cannot do this because it doesn't contain 2 thiols in the same way and there is a high probability of redistribution something to be avoided at all costs.
I feel the heavy metal issue is just too dangerous to mess about with and only safe protocols should be used. Personally I feel I did get a redistribution of metals after 2 months use of organic chlorella and the crash lasted nearly 3 weeks when I was virtually housebond.
Now one month later I am still having to build up my activities very carefully and its all happened because of my body's reaction to chlorella. My muscles are still toxic from it but regular acupuncture sessions are helping as is my FIR sauna.
Gigi, or others, does this make sense.

BRG, I have heard that story many times while I have been posting on this board.
My advice would be - do what you believe is best for you. Heavy metal detox is difficult at best and not at all the same for every person. Many ill people are ill because their detox pathways are defective. It could be a structural defect to where the structure has to be repaired first. Look at Cowden reasons for LED and sulfa residuals.
Chlorella is not a chelator and it only is used in the extracellular spaces and as a binding agent. Also for its complete nutritional value. All we have are mobilizers and it usually takes several agents to get the mercury all the way out. DMSA taken too early in the detox phase may well carry the mercury into the brain instead of the other way.
There is no agent that removes the mercury from inside the cell and carries it totally out of the body. It always takes several agents, depending on location, type of mercury, type of metal, etc.
I posted about this recently. The sequence of detoxing.
Find the best doctor you can and whom you trust. Dr. K. has been at this work for too many years, when most of the medical community, as still today, never considered mercury or lead to be a problem. "It's just fine in the mouth".!?
There are too many things to consider and treatment has to be different for almost everybody.
Please read the old article on www.neuraltherapy.com "mercury detox, obstacles, etc."
I know people are writing books about it?? There are some basic rules, but from that point on the individual patient has to be addressed to really get results.
I hope you really can find a good doctor that knows you, has learned things about you, and doesn't attempt to treat you by the book.
Take care.
Sharing my experiences.

I got heart palpitations while taking chlorella for the first time along with Green Magma, but I was also taking a couple of other things (homeopathic remedies for an abscessing tooth), and I still am not sure exactly what happened. I posted about it, but then forgot to get back to that thread....
What I did learn from my experience was that I do fine with the Green Magma, as far as heart palps go. I've continued to take that regularly and it is not the culprit.
It could have been the remedies I was taking, in combination with the chlorella and/or Green Magma.
I have never tried the chlorella again. I had to get some other issues with supplements straightened out before I took on another `experiment'. It takes me forever to learn how supplements affect me because my digestion is so sluggish. But I seem to have made significant headway on that recently, so things are looking up.
Based on some of the negative `press' about chlorella - including the experiences of others - I think I would use chlorella in moderation, and try to find another thing or two with a different action for detox.
I recently found someone in town here who does the ionic detox foot baths (and she is also a Kinesiologist), so I hope to try that soon ...... (she also specializes in Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)/Craniopathy, whatever that is, so I have much to talk to her about.)

I haven't noticed anything negative with Chlorella.

I feel it has been real beneficial for me during my metal removal slowly but surely from one crown and 3 fillings in the last few months.
I just bought my 3rd supply. My first and second was bought from Rainbow blossom 300 ct $16.99, 600 ct $23.49. Lady at the health food store used the swinging pendulum and it tested good to me.
Since then I went to Whole Foods and found a better chlorella that Gigi had recommended in her posts many times. My originial two were called cell wall form. This brand is higher quality of chlorella and is the pyrenoidosa.
Day before and for a few days after dental treatments I do 5-8, 200 mg, 3 times a day before meals 15-30 minutes.
Other days I just do 5 before dinner and bed. I started with just 200 ct package, then went to the 600 ct pkg. The Sun A chlorella 200 mg, 300 tabs of the better cost me $32.99.
I'm going to look on line and see if I can get it cheaper than that next time. But I haven't started the so called better formula yet.
