It depends on what metals you want to remove. Some folks say that selenium

inhibits lead and cadmium, knocking it out of the body. I haven't seen alot

of evidence to support that though. There is evidence though that both

selenium and E help mitigate the negative effects of many types of metals

toxicity and that selenium is especially important in arsenic toxicity

because arsenic depletes the body of selenium.

The DMSA (and ALA, according to a few folks on this list) actually binds with

toxic metals and removes them from the body. You chelate with DMSA and you

boost the body/keep the metals from hurting you as badly with selenium and E.
