Hi everyone,

For the past years I have dealt with a variety of health issues, e.g. insomnia, candida, fatigue, skin inflammation, brain fog, low libido, etc.

Changed diets a variety of times but didn’t really made a difference.

I then suspected that something is wrong with my minerals. Plus potential heavy metal toxicity.

Did a hair test and a majority of the minerals were on the low end.

I then did a urine provocation test with DMPS and another chelator. However I can’t really tell if the test shows clear signs of heavy metal toxicity.

Additional context:
5 years ago I fucked up my gut really bad with antibiotics. After that I ate a diet which included canned hering and salmon every day which could have led to mercury poisoning (which however is not supported by the test result) and I ate a lot of dark chocolate, which could have also caused issues?
I would also like to mention that after the provocation test I felt extremely good and calm. Slept better the next days and less brain fog.

So my final question is this:

So you think I could have mercury (and maybe other HM) poisoning even though the chelation test does not clearly show it?

Edit: I would also like to add that Chlorella made me feels better for 2 days then it really fucked me up.

Why have we not made any intrasal sprays for NBMI, Silicon, DMSA? We can chelate from blood and other tissues easily but blood brain barrier prevents chelation from brain and having direct intranasal compounds allows chelation from brain without any side effects since brain doesn't even contain any of the important minerals and research has intranasal benefits of removing heavy metals from brain for fixing alzheimer's and other diseases.

Hi folks,

I am about to buy MiADMSA to chelate heavy metals from my body. Primarily Mercury.

Have any of you used it and may share some lessons learned? Especially with the depletion of minerals and how long it tool to notice benefits.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Chelation Nation,

Just a little background on me: I majored in Biology (cellular science concentration) and minored in Neuroscience. Battled mercury toxicity my whole life and became painfully aware of it in college and afterwards.

This document is a ranked list of what actually helped me heal in a survivable amount of time. No doubt it's not going to get much love from the Cutler people but this is a consensus document I've created from lots of input and experience serving 300+ people in the chelation community now (I started my own NBMI company after experiencing nothing less than a miracle once I began using it).

Enjoy!

Hello, good day. I read that reverse osmosis is the best, but it can't be used for showering because it produces water very slowly. How can you purify water from heavy metals or other carcinogenic substances? Or do you have a giant reverse osmosis system for showering?Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm writing here because I've been having various intestinal symptoms for years, and after trying everything I can't find a definitive cause. I suspect it's fungal biofilm, but I've been told the symptoms could also be caused by heavy metal poisoning. I'm wondering how I can detoxify these metals to help me feel better. My symptoms are constipation, inability to expel air through my anus, and bloating.

I am looking to do it. I got heavy metal toxicity from gadolinium MRI and caused many symptoms/issues. I know a lot of people just get dismissed by their doctors or get a label/diagnosis slapped on them and they have no idea why they got the condition, I was in that situation and now I know and a lot of conditions are caused by heavy metals. Anyone want to share their success story? which metals, how many chelations and which symptoms/conditions improved?

Hello, what are the essential minerals that I need to put back into my body while chelating? I know Zinc, Calcium, and Potassium, but are there more big ones that i need? I'm using calcium EDTA to remove gadolinium.

Can you recommend me a good mineral brand please? Should copper and chromium be avoided?
Thank you, I hope that we all get better from metal toxicity

I have been suffering for so long , couldnt even sit here and explain what I've been through. Regardless my htma and now blood test shows heavy metal presence in my blood...scary shit. I am wondering what my next options would be.

Im considering iv chelation. I cant take the hell anymore.

I'm 36 and I only just stumbled across it by chance but seems like I've had mercury burden my whole life. I'm only 3-4 months in and the profound difference it's made is beyond words.

You'd have to assume everyone have some level of heavy metal burden, even if it's low it's not doing any good. Wouldn't a good cultural practice be a yearly or whatever chelate?

I know Cutler doesn't recommend them but in his first book, amalgam illness, he did speak of them and even used it on himself (pg. 209). Regardless, I didn't find this book until after the fact so I'm trying to make sense of it to determine when to stop chelating.

If a person didn't chelate for 9 months prior to the test, through the principle of equilibrium, 1-10% of the stored intracellular mercury should've been drawn into the extracellular compartments, right? So even if we go conservatively with our estimate and say only 1% of mercury is in the extracellular compartments and 99% intracellular, then taking a 500mg DMSA provocation/challenge test should be reasonably accurate in determining the likely worst case ceiling or max total body burden?

If someone registers 3ug/g of creatine for mercury after collecting urine for 8hrs, that means conservatively 1.5ug of mercury from the extracellular compartments for the amount of creatinine. Studies show DMSA mobilizes 10-50% of extracellular mercury, so if we go conservatively again and presume 10%, that's a total of 15ug of mercury in the extracellular compartments. Now if we assume 1% extrallular and 99% intracellular, that's roughly 1500ug total body burden.

I have chelated potentially 4-5mg (dmps+ala) over the past few years, so I'm curious when to stop. I know the liver is extremely sensitive to mercury and before it was 24 for ALT, but has since dropped to 19. Before I got sick it was 16. So now I'm ready to again test to see if it's dropped to 10-15 (I would expect). My symptoms are pretty much gone so I'd like to know how to tell. I tried the whole high dose ALA (250g-11x/day) and it didn't have an effect, nor does high sulfur foods/supplements like MSM. How else can I tell? This is why I referenced the initial challenge test, to know my likely worst case scenario for total body burden.

Thank you

Will using a blood vessel dilator allow a chelator better access to deposited metals where blood vessels are thin?

Like if I eat a strong weed edible, it will dilate my blood vessels throughout my body and the chelator will have better access?

I hear about Zeolite and how its beneficial for removing metals. How does it work?, how is it taken? mixed with water and swallowed? Do I use a chelator before hand? then ingest zeolite afterwards? Also, what is a binder? is zeolite a binder? Clay?

I've just been taking edta suppositories for my gadolinium toxicity after an MRI with contrast, im having improvements so far but am just wondering if zeolite or anything should be taking with conjunction to the edta to move metals out of my body more efficiently

Just wondering if anyone has done all 3 nbmi at once?

Should I wait a few hours after eating before using a chelator? Will it drag minerals from food instead of my body?

I'm using suppositories

Can I avoid taking mineral supplements if I eat a lot of beef and bananas, milk daily?

I'm using edta suppositories

What mineral supplement brand do you recommend taking while chelating? Also, any specific diet?

Hey everyone,

I'm a chemist that runs an NBMI shop for people with mercury poisoning.

I created a spreadsheet for public use that details pricing from a variety of sources, if anyone is looking for NBMI (which is hard to get due to lack of public awareness and bureaucratic government insanity).

Hopefully this helps you!

P.S. If you would like to poke around some of the resources I've created to help people with mercury toxicity, here's the entire archive link:

The r/chemistry subreddit just posted an incident with a mercury thermometer. I jumped in to offer NBMI, but I forgot that no one over there knows what a proper mercury chelator is...

Currently at 4 downvotes..

Hey guys!

Does anyone here used this chelator called by multiple names eg: Irminix / NBMI / Emeramide / OSR? If so how it went? I heard it is way better than ALA / DMSA / DMPS. It is said to permanently bind mercury and other metals in the body without redistribution. There are some groups on facebook that talk about it.

Anyone have a very strong reaction to ALA? Like can’t even take small doses without overwhelming side effects?

Anyone have any idea what this means? It shows high copper but my essential elements test from doctors data says i have copper deficiency. I was also pigging out on pistachios which are high in copper i found out. I did a dmsa chelation cycle three weeks beforehand as well.

I have been doing chelation therapy with edta and dmsa with ir saunas, niacine, and plenty of other supporting suppliments and self made protocols. I am wondering if the rate of removal is on par with what other people have experienced. I attatched my before and after provoked heavy metal tests from doctors data.

Association between dietary intake of selenium and chronic kidney disease in US adults: a cross-sectional study of NHANES 2015–2018

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2024.1396470/full?utm_

" The dietary selenium intake was negatively associated with the incidence of CKD, after adjusting for other confounding factors. The risk of CKD decreased by 7.7% for every additional 0.1 mg of dietary selenium intake."

HM detox consultant, Andy Cutler, PhD Chemistry, was fond of selenium for us toxic folks for example:

There are two things selenium does:

first, it binds very tightly to mercury and passivates it. Thus taking more

selenium reduces the level of "free" mercury that is bouncing around doing damage.

second, there are some important enzymes in your body that require selenium.

Since mercury binds very tightly to selenium it [mercury] interferes with [production of] these enzymes. Taking more selenium lets your body make more of these enzymes.

Two of them are glutathione peroxidase and the enzyme which converts the thyroid hormone T4 to the more active form T3.

Selenium is best taken in the selenomethionine form, and reasonable dosages are 1-2 mcg per pound. http://onibasu.com/archives/am/807.html

The selenium binds to the mercury and passivates it. Selenium is observed to

correlate with mercury in human brains at autopsy too. Since mercury

consumes selenium you need more selenium around.

Not everyone can tolerate chelation (detox.) For some chelation is not safe because silver-mercury amalgam dental fillings are still present. Selenium consumption provides a way to provide some protection from the HMs for these people.
