I think you should interview me. I cowrote "The Mercury Detoxification Manual ," with Andy Cutler, PhD who wrote, "Amalgam Illness" and "Hair Test Interpretation." He was a research scientist with a PhD in Chemistry from Princeton. He figured out a chelation protocol for mercury and other heavy metals. We have a 95,000 member support group for people recovering from chronic mercury toxicity. There are also several resources for learning how to chelate children. We have been plugging away at helping people for decades now, mostly in obscurity because we don't have the kind of marketing that the zeolite people seem to have.
Andy said that zeolites do not move any metals. He thought that the results people experience are due to modulation of the gut microbiome. All these kids have dysbiosis and adrenal challenges because of the metals.
It takes years of plugging away at this tedious protocol to fully detox. It is not something that is an easy sell. People want a solution that works right away. That is not possible with metals. You can't. move them very fast because they are so poisonous.
You worked with Andy Cutler?! OMW! I followed him on the Autism-Mercury group for a long time. What a brilliant character! I have both of his books.
Mercury isn't talked about much any more.
I did hair analysis on my son and myself years ago. My son had very high aluminum. He was dx'd wIth Crohn's. My mercury was from the left side of the chart all the way across the page to the right edge of the page. I had my amalgams removed later, which probably made things worse because I didn't have a savvy dentist.
Are you familiar with Freya Koss' story? Amazing. Her site also has excellent information.
I've read conflicting information about zeolite. Dr. Klinghardt warns about things that stir metals up, may redistribute the metals, but don't necessarily excrete them. Same with cilantro. I do think shilajit works.
Yes I did. He died in 2017 alas. I really miss him and being able to ask him questions. He had all this knowledge right there in his head.
There is a new book which I cowrote with him. That is how I learned everything I know because he was quite rigorous about what he made me study. I am a French major! Never took a chemistry course in my life.
Have you done research that extends beyond mercury? I am curious since many people have heavy metal toxicity of more than one metal. For instance, many years ago when I was tested prior to a chelation protocol, I was elevated in lead, cadmium and cesium (not Al not mercury). Could zeolite be effective for some heavy metals but not others as some research has suggested? I for one, would love to hear more about your mercury research and findings!
Yes. In the book we talk about other metals, too. We use hair tests to look for metals. They are not straightforward to interpret. For instance mercury is often not excreted in to the hair. But it does mess with mineral transport across cell walls and this will show up in patterns in the essential elements.
No. According to Cutler, zeoloites do not move metals. If people are feeling better from using them, it is for some other reason.

The advantage of having no technical background is I had to understand the concepts myself and was then able to explain them to other lay people.
