Mercury Detoxification Simplified Paperback – August 20, 2014

This book introduces an important class of supplements for mercury detoxification: "natural chelators", which tightly binds to mercury to be safely cleared out by our body's elimination organs (kidney or liver)The key to mercury detox is to time the ingestion of supplements so that when taking mobilizing agents (e.g. NAC, GSH, ALA), the natural chelators has to be in the blood patrolling to bind to free mercury that prevents "redistribution". This way of detoxification doesn't create a healing crisis.Picture the detoxification process of mercury from inside out: 1. Mercury is inside our cells -> 2. cellular detoxification is stimulated and mercury is transported outside of the cell into the blood or lymph ( mobilization ) -> the liver or kidney pulls the mercury complex from the blood and excrete it as stool or urine.Every one of these steps can be blocked or not work effectively, otherwise we wouldn't be sick because of mercury.Many of the other detox approaches has correctly addressed many of the aspects of detox process, such as upregulating the cellular detoxification or supporting the elimination organs (kidney, liver and intestine). However, when the mercury or mercury complex gets into the blood, if it isn't efficiently be filtered out by the kidney the liver, redistribution of mercury to other tissues is quite possible. The natural chelators that circulates systemically safely binds and escort out the mercury prevents the redistribution and hence also the healing crisis (detox symptoms).

I cannot thank you enough for writing this book. I am glad you didn't wait to publish it because the timing was perfect! I have been suffering from the symptoms of extreme mercury toxicity since 2006. My exposure was from the combination of vaccines, mercury fillings and eating too much of the wrong types of seafood (swordfish and albacore tuna). In addition, I have genetic polymorphisms influencing Phase II liver detox which doesn't help matters either.I originally worked with a Naturopathic doctor who put me on DMSA-based chelation (I also had high lead levels as well). The first two rounds went well, but I suffered major issues with the 3rd round. Patients must be closely monitored during chelation (including mineral status) and it is my experience that most Doctor's do not pay attention to these important details over time. My mineral status became dreadfully low while I was on excessive levels of NAC with DMSA which caused substantial mercury migration vs. elimination. This screwed up my immune system, nervous system and almost everything else. I stopped worked with that Doctor once I realized she didn't know what she was doing. It took me another 8 years of working with various Doctor's before I found someone who could help me undo the damage done by DMSA.While this Doctor was helpful in getting my immune system back under control, it was clear that I had become one of the "sensitive" mercury patients who couldn't tolerate most forms of mercury detox. One pill of blue-green algae could send me over the deep end.Knowledgeable practitioners that really understand mercury detox are few and far between. I have yet to find any practioner that understands how to help a "sensitive" mercury patient.This book was extremely helpful because it made specific product recommendations like PectaClear and MetalSweep that seem to work for "sensitive" mercury patients.I have been using the PectaClear product now for 3 days and things seem to be going well without any strong reactions This is longer than I have been able to use anything else.I am very grateful for the latest research provided in this book. It has confirmed that the chemical-based chelation products like DMSA are very dangerous (consistent with my own experience) and provides natural and effective product options as alternatives.This book has given me hope that there is a light at the end of this very trying and sometimes very dark tunnel I have been suffering in for the past 8 years.My sincere gratitude for your efforts!UPDATE: 9/27/2014I stopped using the PectaClear because it started causing constipation. So, I tried Metal Sweep. I am thrilled with the results. I have now been using Metal Sweep for two weeks and have had no complications. This really is the only mercury detox protocol I have been able to tolerate. I have provided the product information to my Doctor and plan to continue using this as a cornerstone for my mercury detox protocol going forward. I have also recommended this product to friends and family.

All the folks criticizing grammar are missing the importance of this writing. The information here contains tremendous amount of information regarding this issue. Perhaps it could only be appreciated by those having traversed the same paths. I had all my amalgams out 16 years ago along with IV and oral chelation (I assume it was DMSO, but not sure) I became increasingly ill, could barely eat for over 10 years, had tumors in my colon, major liver issues, etc etc. I have persisted and recently found I still have amalgams buried under crowns, which my dentist recommend be replaced but at the time I could not grasp the gravity of the situation. For years I didn't know why I became so ill, and had I had this book then perhaps I could have saved an enormous amount of pain, suffering and money. I purchased this book because all the things that HAVE HELPED are listed here and explanations given as to why those particular substances are helpful. He also explains Chris Shade's work, which I have found to be of enormous assistance in finding my way out of "Heavy Metal Hell".If you are a newbie this book might be overwhelming and not easy to totally understand, but I believe it can be one of the best guides for you, and you just need to educate yourself to understand the importance of what is written here. Unfortunately the mercury toxic brain is not the best functioning brain, but I suggest you get the book and if you have a loved one to help you, have them read it so they can assist you as you will forget why and how different things are important. The substances that have helped be the most are binders recommended by Chris Shade, Modified Citrus Pectin, ACZ nano, all of Chris's liposomal products (phosphaditylcholine, Colorado Hemp Oil. bitters, etc) and a couple of products not mentioned in this book: ASEA and Patrick Flanagan's Megahydrate. I would like to thank the author for putting this out, and of course we are gathering new info every day, but being an intent researcher I feel this information is most current and reflects the things that have been most helpful, and I am one of the difficult, sensitive cases.Thanks you William for your efforts. I appreciate your work very much!

I am so thrilled that I found and bought this book - the advice and guidance within it is so invaluable and practical. It provides a balanced and thoughtful opinion on mercury detox and associated resources that are out there to help us achieve great health again as best possible.William has trialled many of the products and protocols and gives great insights alongside a step by step approach - and a great deal of his own experience and results to help guide you on your path.I am at the start of my journey, highly sensitised from heavy metals, with amalgam fragments in my jaw and gums alongside cavitations - somewhat daunting. I look forward to using the knowledge and information in this book so wisely set out to guide me on my path.

Mercury detoxification is a valuable topic because virtually all of us have been exposed to mercury to some extent, and a large number of us will eventually suffer greatly from its powerful long-term toxic effects. Unfortunately mercury toxicity and detoxification are topics which most doctors are woefully ignorant of, leaving most of us with few alternatives for healing. Mr. Rasmussen has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into gathering the best scientifically validated data he could find into one place.However, as extensive as this reference is, much more is needed. This book gives information on a wide variety of substances which are known to help remove mercury, but lists only one clear protocol for actually using such substances, and that protocol relies on products which are no longer available. This leaves readers on their own to sort through the long lists of supplements to create their own healing protocol. Unfortunately, because of mercury’s impact on cognitive function, energy levels and memory, I believe many of those who are most in need of mercury detoxification will have difficulty understanding all this information well enough to put it to use.In my opinion, much better guidance on mercury detoxification is given in the “Medical Medium: Cleanse to Heal” book by Anthony William. Chapter 17 offers a clear and simple “Heavy Metal Detox Cleanse” protocol that relies entirely on natural food ingredients, while Chapter 23 offers many cleanse recipes, including the “Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie” referenced in Chapter 17. But the book goes far beyond mercury detoxification: other cleanses are also presented (and recommended) prior to the heavy metal detox itself, supplements are recommended for assisting the liver, brain and other tissues to cleanse and heal from the long-term damage caused by the toxins, and then there’s a prioritized list of foods to reduce or avoid because they’d interfere with the detoxification. It’s also claimed that this cleansing protocol works not only for mercury but also for aluminum, lead and many other toxic metals, as well as the alloys they can form within the body.Another book in the series: “Medical Medium - Revised and Expanded Edition” links a wide variety of mysterious and often chronic and/or “incurable” medical conditions to the heretofore unknown combinations of toxins plus viruses that actually cause them, indicating which of them most likely involve heavy metals such as mercury. Without this essential understanding, permanent healing is very unlikely in many and perhaps most cases of mercury toxicity.While the Medical Medium information has not yet been scientifically substantiated, the natural foods and supplements that are recommended are at least clearly safe to consume. Meanwhile, the many high ratings and reader testimonials of healing are a clear sign that most of the readers are being helped by the books. Up until now I’d never seen any book with so many testimonials stating in one way or another that “this book saved my life.”Personally I can attest that every word that Anthony William has written regarding mercury toxicity rings true to my experience over my several decades of experience with it. That experience includes an acute mercury poisoning at age 21, gradually declining health and extensive Alzheimer’s symptoms by the time I reached age 38, and then using various mercury detoxification protocols to gradually recover my health and cognitive abilities. I’m convinced that mercury detoxification methods saved my life, and the medical medium protocol seems more effective than any other I’ve tried during all these years.
