True chelators are identified by the presence of two dithiol groups. Many health practitioners and doctors use compounds such as chlorella, cysteine, NAC and glutathione, claiming they are chelators. But these are ineffective, because they are not actually chelating agents, as they do not contain two or more binding groups (dithiol groups), rather they contain only one thiol group. These compounds can make matters worse by causing redistribution of stored metals, by mobilizing them from their storage sites, but failing to bind and excrete them. This is like stirring up a hornets nest.
Other compounds that can chelate or move metals around. Do not use these:
CILANTRO - Coriander/Dhania – although this is a natural chelator known to cross the blood-brain barrier, its half-life and method of action are unknown at present. Therefore, you are advised to steer clear of methods advising its use until its safety has been properly evaluated.
CHLORELLA - is not a chelator as it contains only one thiol group (sulfhydryl group). It can pick up mercury and move it around, but it does not strictly chelate it and hold onto it. This can cause a lot of oxidative damage as mercury ‘bounces around’. Chelators are dithiols (they contain two sulfhydryl groups) and hold on to mercury tightly and safely. Beware of protocols using chlorella for chelation.

Die herdistributie van kwik waar over gesproken wordt, merk je aan symptomen als brain fog en knallende hoofd- en nekpijn. Dat heb ik dus ervaren vorig jaar toen ik de combi koriander/chlorella voorgeschreven kreeg terwijl m'n amalgaamvullingen nog aanwezig waren (double bad).
