Yes. With Andy's protocol the only time there will be redistribution

will be at the end of a round (and that is minimized because of the

low doses of chelator used and taking it at the half life). By

increasing the round to a week one gets more chelation days, more

metals removed, ie more gain, for that one redistribution event.

3 days, 2 nights is the minimum time that Andy would recommend for a

round. Most people have difficulty increasing the number of days on

round because they get tired from waking at night. If a person can

chelate for a week, that's great. It's a good idea to do several

short rounds to get a feel for what chelation is like, get the dose

right, before extending the rounds.

I would like to know why there is a rest

It's to give the body some healing time.

TK--- longer rounds excrete more Hg and produce less redistribution [if

they are tollerated]

TK--- Read through the Andy index for many common FAQ's - rest is

needed for most people to help their body repair, heal and normalize.

Is it to allow the mercury time to come out?

TK--- no

---------Some people feel better on round, so like to do longer rounds, and

Andy says that's ok, as long as you can tolerate it. He says ALA is the most

side-effecty, so people may need to do shorter rounds on ALA. But one advantage

to doing a longer round, is less redistribution events at the end of rounds.

Example, if you do three day rounds, you will have two redistribution events per

6 days of chelation. If you did one 6 day round, then you would only have one

redistribution event, for the same number of days spent

chelating.----------Jackie

---------There are a number of reasons, which you can read about in the links

below, but basically, side effects usually grow as the length of the round

continues, and the body needs time to recover. Copper and zinc can accumulate

from continuous chelation, and possibly other things can get out of whack or get

depleted, like other minerals. So taking breaks allows your body to *catch up*

and/or *rebalance* in a sense.

The breaks are not to allow the mercury to come out, that is happening

*during* the chelation round.---------Jackie

-------I really encourage anybody with these types of questions to spend some

time reading at the below links. Jay and Moria have done us all a great service

by compiling so many important posts by Andy, these are very valuable resources

for us all. So please spend some time reading at these links, and you will

understand the protocol much better.-------Jackie
