It's considered bad to use anytime, not just while chelating. why is this? could someone explain? Chlorella has a single thiol in its chemical structure. This makes it good at grabbing mercury loosely and bouncing it around in the body causing more damage. It does not chelate. Many people have reported problems with chlorella use. It is also prone to contamination with mercury. -- > many thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Because it moves mercury around the body, but does not bind to it and remove it like a chelator would. My personal experience..bad stuff if your Hg toxic. I took 500 mg ONCE, and I will say ONCE! I did use it before removal and it seemed to be fine..not sure why. But once I had the fillings out..It made me feel so sick I wanted to be put down like a dog. I got a searing horrid headache, felt nauseas, shaky, weak, faint, sick and panicky all at the same time... I had to lay down and all I kept thinking is " my God how can I get this stuff out of my body and right now " . It definitely creates mercury symptoms. I ended up downing some activated charcoal and a lot of vitamin C to counter it. But..I flushed the rest down the toilet. There are people who claim to use this stuff just fine and chelate themselves with it. I have talked to a few..my opinion was that they were not that mercury toxic, or at least not as sick as me or lucky. > > Hi I seem to remember reading that chlorella is bad to use while > chelating? why is this? could someone explain? > many thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible/probable that the people who react the most severely are the ones who have high plasma cysteine, and need to limit their intake of sulfury foods and supplements.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Some chlorella has been tested and found to be high in mercury or other heavy metals - after all it is grown in water so is as toxic as the pond it was grown in. There was one company boasting about high mercury levels in urine from people using their chlorella. Boyd Haley (chemist) asked for a sample, tested it and found that the chlorella was high in mercury. There are possibly other reasons that we don't fully understand. Most toxic people I have spoken with have had some grief from chlorella. > > > Jackie wrote -.
