I start my heavy metal detox today. I will be using DMSA (Captomer). This program prescribed by my doctor will rotate on a schedule of 5 days on captomer and 9 days off captomer. This is so I am always starting on a monday (or whatever day I choose as it’s a 2 week interval schedule). Captomer strips the body of minerals as it binds to the mercury because it also binds to minerals so the 9 days off are to replenish my minerals with supplements. This is vital as I don’t want to get even more depleted than I already am by the mercury. It is also advisable but not mandated to get colonics on day 3,4 or 5 of the captomer week as most of the mercury leaves the body by waste product and most people don’t get rid of their waste efficiently enough risking re-absorption of the mercury. I am supposed to drink more than 8 ounces of water a day to help flush my system. Here is the schedule I will follow:
