My LLMD had me chelating right from the start along with an aggresive abx treatment.
I actually feel better taking my dmsa for mecury and lead detox than if I don't.
Totally individual and how much you can handle.

I didn't feel comfortable adding another drug (chelators) to my protocol and have been having success with Pectasol Chelation Complex by Econugenics. 2 caps, 2x day and I can tell it's working. It's all natural.

I use the Pectasol Chelation Complex, too. I stopped it for a few days to do some testing, and I began having vision symptoms like those I've attributed to neurotoxins/metals in the past. They went away when I restarted the Pectasol.
You don't still have dental amalgams in place do you? If so, I'm not sure what, if anything, is safe to use.

I don't still have any amalgams I had them removed.
I just went to my holistic md to get test for heavy metal toxicity and then I believe to chelate she uses iv ill find out more in a few weeks.

I think chelation is required for many of us to start to improve. That said, I think it should only be done with your doctor and is not a do it yourself project.

I agree. It should be done under the care of a doctor who has considerable experience with chelation therapy.

agreed. unlike with pathogens, where the killing not the detoxing is the harder task, our bodies don't seem to know what to do with foreign substances such as metals once they're released.
Chelation needs to be gentle if organs aren't repaired. Ex: if kidneys aren't working, some metals won't go out efficiently. Same with leaky gut syndrome--metal recirculation.
I do take pectasol too--which always tests well--along with other binders that are more 'natural" so they have a smaller chance of leeching the good minerals away.
methylation cycle needs to be checked for any chelation to have long-lasting effectiveness.
