According to one of the members who is reading a book by a specialist in chelation, cilantro and chlorella are NOT good chelators.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 I may be wrong, but looks like in order to get mercury out, one would need to get it moving. If not, it just remains embedded at a cellular level. That's what I was told by a doctor. Like most things, it's an individual decision. I would think that if it's moving and not supposed to be there that the body would do it's job and eliminate it.?

Problem is sometimes the more I read the less I know. I keep hearing that there are known cases of people who have gotten worse and it can't be repaired. I also heard that a lot of chlorella products contain metal! My doc recommended the chlorella I have which is supposedly manufactured theough glass tubes and is supposed to be safe. It's a relatively new process, I guess. I'm so confused! Arlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Before trying any new therapy or supplement..I'd really like to hear from someone on this site that has actually seen improvement other than read about it. There are hundreds of recommended cures out there for this disease and I cant afford another one without more proof. This MS has already cost me thousands over the past 3 years just in aides and supplements and I'm no better off. Has anyone here had definite improvement from chelation wether clay, chorella or what ever?? On 7-Nov-04, at 10:38 AM, Olin wrote: > My wife was tested with high mercury levels.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 If I might just chime in here. . . . Here is the deal to the best of my inderstanding. Chlorella is a good mercury chelator, but the problem is, is that it comes from the bottom of the ocean where guess what is found? - that's right - mercury. Now, one could argue that chlorella will remove more mercury than what is actually consumed, so there is a net loss of mercury. Sounds good, but not quite that simple. In a MSer who has been exposed to mercury [ie: anyone who has an amalgam filling or who has ever had a vaccine] before, getting more mercury moving around can upset the immune system which has already been sensitized to the effects of mercury. The end effects are too unpredictable to make chlorella a worthwhile product IMHO. Chlorella *might* be appropriate for someone who has no immune disorder, but not in MS. I know Dr. Mercola would argue with this and I do respect and agree with 95% of what he says. Not on this issue however. I would not risk it. The chances are too iffy and yes, you could very well end up in worse shape. If you want to chelate, do it the right way with DMSA or DMPS under the care of a physician. > Hi all > On the MS-DIET BBD board there is a lot of talk going on about merc > chelation.
