Latest on Mercury Detox by William Rasmussen (new hampshire)

5 Stars
May 17, 2009
This comprehensive book briefly discusses most of the factors relating to mercury and its detoxification. Its strong point is discussing the basics of detoxification, the many products available to accomplish this, and many of the different approaches to doing mercury detoxification. The sources of this information are clearly footnoted so readers can go to the sources if they want more information on any particular aspect. A significant point made in the book is the importance of avoiding too large an intake of mercury mobilizers that cause mercury detox symptoms. Symptoms are an indication that mercury levels in the blood are high enough to damage the brain and nervous system. The use of natural mercury chelators like NDF, Metal Free, and others, that chelate the mercury out of the blood and thus prevent symptoms is discussed. It is inferred that a detox that causes symptoms is dangerous and should not be used. What is not clearly discussed is the importance of matching fast mercury mobilizers with fast chelators and slow mobilizers with slow chelators. This is discussed in the Appendix of Lead Detoxification Naturally, the author's second book. Natural Mercury Detoxification's greatest deficiency is the lack of discussion of the issue of chemical chelators. Many mercury-toxic people have chemical sensitivities and environmental illness caused by chemicals. It is obvious to the author that these people need to avoid chemicals and use natural chelators. An important way that mercury damages the body is through dramatically reducing the detoxification ability of the liver and kidneys. This reduces the bodies ability to detoxify chemicals. When chemical chelators are used, any responsible doctor will do periodic liver and kidney function tests to make sure the body is holding up under the stress of the chelator. There are various protocols for the use of chemical chelators, such as 3 days on and 3 days off. This gives the body time to recuperate and prevents a breakdown of the body and additional health problems. Although many skilled practitioners use chemical chelators they usually closely monitor the patient, do muscle testing and have the patient on a significant daily supplement intake that can cost $200+ a month. However these skilled practitioners are few and far between and even under their care there can be negative reactions to chemical chelators. Although chemical chelators work more quickly I do not consider the saved time to be worth the extra wear and tear on the body or the extra financial cost of a heavy supplementation program. Natural chelators can get the job done at less cost and wear and tear on the body. And the extra time is not significant given that most people need to be on a maintenance detox program to keep their health improvements. In contrast, many of the natural chelators like NDF can be used on a daily basis and actually strengthen kidney function and liver function as they detoxify the body of mercury. NDF is available from AMAZON at $75 for 1 oz. Some practitioners of muscle testing find that if the body is muscle tested for natural chelators first, the body will never test positive for chemical chelators. A great deal of time and money has gone into creating natural chelators for a good reason. OSR, a new chelator created by Boyd Haley, has been found to reverse autism in children who had not been helped by any of the chemical chelators. An extensive article on OSR and protocols for its use will be in the May 2009 issue of the DAMS Newsletter (dental amalgam mercury syndrome). The Oct 2009 Townsend Letter contains "A Sensible Approach To Eliminating Neurotoxins" by Dr Klinghardt discusses his latest thinking on advanced mercury detox. The issue is $7.50+ $3 shipping. I consider him to be the authority on individualizing Mercury detox to fit the patient. He has seen hundreds of times more patients than Dr Cutler has. Neuraltherapy website is[...]. BioPure healing products sells his formulas like Matrix Metals sublingual spray 1 oz($115)which is a natural chelator like NDF. The other major deficiency of the book was not discussing Amalgam Illness by Andrew Cutler. Cutler wrote his book before natural chelators had been researched and made widely available, and as a result his book depends on chemical chelators in combination with ALA (alpha lipoic acid) for removing mercury from the brain and nervous system. ALA is a great product but the same cannot be said for the chelator Cutler recemends. Many people have had adverse effects from this chemical chelator and some experts in the detox field consider it obsolete. The shape of the chelator determines how strongly it bond with mercury and the size of a chelator/mercury molecule has an influence on how quickly it is eliminated by the body. Newer chelators hold mercury tighter and have a larger cobined size so they leave the body more quickly resulting in better results. If the size of the chelator/mercury bond is not big enough it can circulate in the bloodstream for a long time before it is eliminated by the kidneys. This resulted in toxic effects and free radical generation. This was a problem with some of the olded chemical chelators. In contrast the NDF molecule is so big that over 85% of it is out of the blood in 2 hrs provided 16 oz of water is consumed. The strong point of Cutlers approach is that ALA is taken in small doses every 3 hours so as to reduce or prevent large amounts of mercury being released into the blood stream and causing detoxification symptoms, which-as mentioned earlier-indicate that mercury levels in the blood are high enough to cause damage. However, I do not agree with Cutler about ALA being primarily a chelator. In my body it mobilizes twice as much mercury as it chelates, and therefore should be used with chelators, preferably natural chelators. The number of mercury-toxic patients who actually have good kidney, liver function and rapid bowel transit time and don't need to use a chelator with low dose ALA is (in my opinion) probably less than 20%. Dr Klinghardt is opposed to the use of ALA at the start of a detox probably for this reason. Using ALA with NDF as the chelator is not a good match because the NDF does not stay in the body long enough; taking NDF every 2 hours would work but would be inconvenient. PectaSol Chelation Complex is a new long-acting natural chelator that would work well in combination with low dosage ALA. As discussed in Lead Detoxification Naturally, the author has found PectaSol Chelation Complex to prevent mercury toxicity symptoms for about 4-5 hours. OSR, although much more expensive than PectaSol Chelation Complex, has been also found to stay in the body and chelate mercury over an even longer period of time. Cutler's book also discusses many subjects in depth, such as hair analysis, which was not possible in a book as short as Natural Mercury Detoxification. Cutler's book is recommended for people who want a heavy dose of mercury detox science and want an in depth discussion of the subject. I have found that NDF is well absorbed and effective at anytime, even after a meal if it is held sublingually in the mouth for 3 minutes without swallowing. This sublingual dosing enables me to use it throughout the day as needed. Initially I skipped breakfast so as to not interfere with the absorbtion of NDF in my stomach. Now I take my Cilantro mobilizer with 10oz of water, wait 5-10 minutes take 1 drop of NDF sublingually and have breakfast. Every 45-60 minutes thereafter I take another drop of NDF sublingually as needed, usually takeing 3 drops over 3 hours. If taken all at one time 6 drops of NDF is necessary to prevent symptoms. The quanity and type of mobilizer taken determines how much NDF I need and the timing. I have also found that NDF can neutralize the toxins from cinguatera and red tide shellfish poisoning thereby reducing the duration and severity of the reaction. My homeopath recomended I take the remedies at bedtime. I now strongly prefer first thing in the morning or set alarm for 5 am. That way you are awake as the detox symptoms gradually begin and can take NDF etc as needed. The author knows of an Autistic 2 yr old that had been Autistic for only 6 months following a low mercury MMR vaccination. The parents experemented with a hundred to one dilution of NDF. One drop a day of the diluted mixture caused a dramatic increase in the smell of #1 and #2. The child had a healthy constitution so the NDF probably triggered a resumption of normal detoxification that may have been suppressd by the chemical preservatives in the vaccine. There was a dramatic response of a reduction in autistic symptoms. Dosage was gradually increased to 3 diluted drops a day. In 12 weeks there was so much improvement that the diagnosis was changed to speach delayed. It is possible that the toxin causing the symptoms was rapidly cleared by the NDF or that the NDF stimulated detoxification. Continued daily intake is required to maintain normal detoxification in this child. More research must be done to determine if the 100-1 dilution was a factor in the rapid results or if some children just need only small amounts of NDF to get results. In the 6 years since I wrote Natural Mercury Detoxification, the amount of mercury in our air from coal-fired power plants in China and India has increased tremendously. I have had to double my daily maintenance dose of mercury mobilizers and chelators. I no longer believe that just taking chlorella with every meal is sufficient maintenance for most people. I believe that the vast majority of people are gradually accumulating mercury in their body, even if they don't eat fish or have amalgam fillings in their teeth.

Follow the advice in this book and you will get much much sicker. Poor chelation redistributes mercury in the body and makes you ill. Not understanding that chlorella is NOT a chelator and that you HAVE to chelate with ALA on a very precise, rigorously dosed schedule is a recipe for pain, illness, and ultimately, death. Instead, try Amalgam Illness, by Andrew Cutler.

The 'book' was more like a pamphlet that could have been sent as a letter. It was sent in a large box with lots of empty space, and the mailing cost me more than the booklet itself. Sending it as a letter would have meant money saved.

This book (and the books of Hal A. Huggins) is/are the best in case of dental amalgams and disease. Just read it and you"ll be convinced. It is very usefull because of the detoxification after removal of amalgam. It is very difficult how to do a detoxification. So it is very helpfull. In my opinion the books are very clear. Simon

Best Overview on How to Deal with Toxic Mercury Ever Read by Seidr Thought Memory (United States)

Natural Mercury Detoxification by William Rasmussen, M.A. is the best empowering book for individuals damaged by mercury poisoning. Friends from a cult group had excessive dental procedures particularly many root canals to them before release. At least one was rendered in an almost vegetative state. For years, he stumbled around not sure why he could only cope and not live. I like a lot that Rasmussen even mentions the effective holostic RIFE machine's usage in combination of tests, procedures, types of information, nutruition aids, etc. etc. This book isn't telling you what to do, but gives a clear overview of the available techniques and views by professionals on their application. This booklet is a short but very well considered overview of Mercury toxification and the approaches of how to fix it. Of importance for those suffering from serious toxicity, experts in this field are recommended over a normal dentist who may still use allergic materials or metals. In fact, many of the mercury detox experts disagree about how and if the silver fillings and especially root canals should be removed since it can be a dangerous procedure releasing the mercury vapors to brain and nervous system. Those who have had the mercury in their mouth a long time also have electrical conductivity as these things are leaching into the system day after day. Here is a quote that speaks well to the situation overall that some cult victims and probably many people experience: "mercury toxicity dissipates the life force, drains the body's electrical energy, and paralyzes the immune system. this leaves the body so weakened that it does not have the strength for unessential problems." The book also recommends supplements, but recommends against them until certain works are done. The risk in the brain is the highest followed by nervous system. In the mouth, the mercury is also triggered by electrical currents which increase 4x over originally when put in several years earlier. Over time, these things don't get better and the electrical aspect increases. Of course, this book comes with all the disclaimers required to survive in this current society. But if you want to think for yourself and take your health back, read it. Also consider a RIFE machine. Every family should have one and use it often.
