The “How To” of True Heavy Metal Detoxification and Chelation Using Proper Heavy Metal Chelating Agents (DMSA) and Detox Protocols

The key to properly detox heavy metals and heavy metal chelation is using a true chelator or chelating agent within its “half-life” in the body. The half-life of a substance in the body is defined as, “The time it takes for the blood plasma concentration of a substance to halve (plasma half-life) its steady-state,” or when it has lost “half of its pharmacologic, physiologic, or radiologic activity.”[1] In other words, the chelating agent needs to be taken often enough so that there is sufficient amounts left in the blood and body to keep the metals from recirculating and redistributing to other cells within body tissues. In the case of dimercapto succinic acid (DMSA), it needs to be taken every 4 hours, which is its half-life. Taking DMSA at its half-life keeps the chelating agent at consistent enough levels for heavy metals to move safely and effectively out of the body. To explain this more simply, keeping the true chelating agents like DMSA consistent in the body is similar to having a hepa filter in your body extracting metals versus a feather duster. A feather duster just moves it around; a hepa filter permanently removes the toxins.

This process works and it saved my life and thousands of others. It is the only protocol that is both safe and effective. With that said, there is more to true heavy metal detox than using a true heavy metal chelator and understanding its half-life. I discuss this in detail in other articles I have written on true cellular detoxification and restoration. Maintaining cell function is critical for the heavy metal detox process to work smoothly and effectively. For example, raising and maintaining INTRACELLULAR glutathione is key to not just protect the DNA, but to keep the toxins, such as heavy metals, moving out of the cells. Glutathione doesn’t do a great job of taking heavy metals completely out of the body, but it does protect the brain from circulating metals like mercury. Raising glutathione in the cell also moves heavy metals out of deeper cellular “store houses” of heavy metals that also need to be removed. Please see my 5R’s of Cellular Healing and Detox articles for more information. These articles explain the importance and process of cellular preparation and detoxification:

Before I, or any other practitioner we train, begin any heavy metal detoxification protocol, we also prepare and restore critical detoxification pathways, which include the liver, kidneys, lymphatic and intestinal systems. You must keep these down-stream detox pathways open during the detoxification process or cycle. This is another important reason why it is necessary to work with a practitioner trained in this protocol. Now that we have this foundation, let’s go deeper into how to perform true heavy metals detoxification of substances like mercury and lead.

What is a Safe Heavy Metal Detox Protocol and Detox Cycle?

We already discussed DMSA and its half-life for proper heavy metal chelation. Next, we need to discuss the length and cycling of DMSA during a protocol. For example, it is necessary to take this oral chelator for at least 4 days before you stop. Typically, if you stop AFTER 4 days, little if any metal will be left in circulation to redistribute. If you stop BEFORE 4 days, very little, if any, heavy metals will redistribute and cause unwanted symptoms. Once the heavy metals are cleared from the “shallower stores” in the body, in approximately 4 days, a resting period must begin. Two (2) things happen during this resting period in the body. One, the heavy metals residing deeper in the tissues and cells will begin to move from higher concentration areas to lower concentration areas in the body. Two, detox pathways, enzymes, antioxidants, and nutrients etc. necessary for effective and safe detoxification are allowed to reestablish in the body. We have found that a 10-day off-cycle is sufficient for these two things to occur. Once again, you can see why utilizing a doctor trained in proper heavy metal detoxification protocols is helpful and at time necessary. Otherwise, your detox can become dangerous. We train our doctors on how to support the body in both the on-cycle and off-cycle heavy metal detoxification process.

The next 4-day on cycle will re-clear the heavy metal(s), such as lead and mercury, which have moved out of the high concentration cells and tissues during the off cycle. As I stated before, raising glutathione in the cell during the 4-day on cycle helps this process and prevents any metal from crossing into the brain and moving into other cells and tissues. Also, utilizing a binding agent in the gut helps to prevent metals that make their way to the gut during detox from being reabsorbed. This is known as “auto-intoxication” and is a classic oversight of most practitioners. Please see the R1 article HERE.

How Long Does Heavy Metal Chelation and Detoxification Take?

Perhaps a great mistake of practitioners is not telling their patients the reality of the time this process takes. If a practitioner states that the metals measured on a heavy metal challenge test can be removed in a few months, you know you are in the wrong place. They may even test you afterwards and say, “Look your heavy metals are cleared,” but this far from the truth. It took 20-40 years for heavy metals to bio-accumulate in your tissues, so does it make sense to you that it will come out that quickly? Of course not! No logical person would think it would once we stop and think about it. If it all came out that quickly, you would be permanently damaged or it could even be fatal. Your body is not designed like this. True detoxification and restoration must happen daily and relatively slowly. On average it takes 2 years to remove the majority of most heavy metals like mercury from the body. However, with my high mercury levels and genetically weak heavy metal detoxification pathways, it took me 4 years. Because of my genetic weakness, I still chelate periodically to maintain stability and performance. At one point during the detox (typically after a year), we purposely start to extend the heavy metal chelation off-cycles to provide the metals more time to move out of the deeper “store houses” or deeper tissues. There is also new research for those of you who are detoxing lead that states it can take up to 10 to 15 years for periodic chelation therapy. The reason for this extended period is that lead is stored deep within the bone and during certain life changes, it is released as a result of normal bone loss and regeneration. For example, one study indicates that seniors between the ages of 65-87 with high lead levels, who are losing bone as a part of natural aging, were nearly 60% more likely to die during the 12 year study. They concluded the lead being released from the bone is increasing their rate of heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes and weight gain. [2] In the case of lead, this amount of time and chelation sounds challenging, however, we teach our clients on this process and system and they are eventually able to do it on their own. We believe in empowering individuals by teaching them what to do and continue to do to get their own life back. This is how we are able to help individuals who have not been able to get their life back anywhere else.

Removing Heavy Metals from the Brain

After 3 months of DMSA ONLY cycling, we add a fat-soluble chelator to the protocol to expedite the metals from the brain. We call this the “brain phase” and this is where the real magic happens. Recalling what I said earlier, it is the mercury in the brain that causes the real problems and symptoms. Studies indicate heavy metals, mercury in particular, bio-accumulate over time in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which is the control center of the hormone system in the body. In Part 2 of this series, we discuss how catastrophic this is to how we function and live. The good news is to offset this damage, during the brain phase; it is typically safe and effective to support the hypothalamus and pituitary. As a warning, I have found that supporting these tissues too early may cause the release of metal before the rest of the body is cleared. This is another major mistake that poorly trained doctors make, causing their clients unwanted symptoms. Along those lines there is a timing supporting the thyroid and adrenals during detox and cellular healing. Violating the timing can cause weight gain instead of weight loss, restless sleep, fatigue, brain fog, irritability and irrational behavior.

I recall reading something that Andrew Cutler Ph.D., a great researcher who teaches a similar protocol, said…that after 6-9 months of the brain phase, some symptoms may come back but after you push through this time, your life really begins to change [3]. In other words, finally, the dimmed lights become brighter and you can start to see life clearly again with far less symptoms. Many of you reading this article are living in the dark and you did not know how you got there because the lights dimmed slowly over time and you never noticed. Life can get better when you remove the cause. I can say for sure that after a year, I was nowhere near being done but I had my life back. How do you know when you’re done? Dr. Cutler always said, if you can go 6 months without chelation and have no symptoms. In my experience, I believe a real measure is when you can go 9 months to a year, symptom free, without oral chelation therapy. I had said earlier that typically after a year, I tell individuals to try to go longer off cycles or allow more time for the metal to come out of the deeper tissues. During these chelation breaks, many symptoms start to resurface if you are off-cycle too long. I recall going 2-3 months without chelation (a very long off-cycle) and my wife would tell me I needed to get back on DMSA as she would see the signs and symptoms before I would or wanted to admit. She was always right. Literally, with one or two pills, I would be a new person. The lights came back on! Another time after 7 month off, I thought I made it but, again, my wife told me to get back on. This time I didn’t want to hear it. I fought her on it because I just wanted to be done this time, but she was right again. The metals just come out in waves like peeling back an onion. It takes time but you will get your life back.

True Hope and NO Gimmicks

Heavy metal toxicity is one of Three (3) major sources that I see at the root of so many different health challenges, especially those who suffer with unexplainable symptoms. I believe in my heart that God allowed me to go through what I went through and have victory over it, to bring this message to the millions that are suffering with no true answers. They spend thousands on the next gimmick or product with great marketing, but with little change to their well-being. I also know that God will use your suffering for a greater purpose as well. Never give up looking for the cause because it always exists, and when you remove it, the body really does heal itself; God designed it to do so. Continue to put your hope and trust in Him and ask Him to lead you to that cause…He will not fail you nor forsake you.

  1. I read your article above and when you spoke about God allowing this to happen in your life and to never give up, tears just fill my eyes. I also pray that my recovery in time, will be a light to others in my country where our dentists are still using mercury fillings (training medical schools as well). I have been putting off the chelation process as I still did not fully understand how to do it and I knew chloryphyll chelation was exceptionally dangerous.I bought Andy Cutlers book to educate myself but despite all the reading I still did not know what to do. I had the honeymoon period and now I experiencing the pain I had pre-dental removals. I have just contacted my doctor so that she can be trained to help me. And many others. Thank you!

  2. Hello again,

    Can certainly relate to the brain fog that slowly came over me, so slowly I really did not notice and chalked symptoms as “just age”. Thank you so much for sharing, I will re-read your article in full. You are a blessing to the world.

  3. So you only take GSH during the 4 day cycles? If you take it all the time, it sounds like it just redistributes the metals without a chelator?

    Also, when doing the infrared sauna routine (binders, oils, exercise, sauna), can this be done and should it be done on the chelating days?

    on the every 4 hrs. I’ve been putting off Culter’s protocol for years due to the frequent dosing aspect. I have adrenal exhaustion and not sure this is the best thing for it. however, I get up to urinate everynight at various times, I would just pop another pill whenever that is. to make a big to do about it stresses me big time and creates more insomina. so my question is, aren’t there binders that can be taken at night that have a longer half-life than 4 hours to mop up any residue if I go longer than 4 hrs for DMSA?

    i also have MTHFR mutations and need methyl supports. my main source of poisoning was from fillings and multiple vaccines. I understand very well your son and his sensory overwhelm and anger outbursts as a result of sound sensitivity!

    Thanks so much!

    • Hi Kelly,
      DMSA is typically taken within its “half-life,” so it stays in your system to do its work, and is taken in on-off cycles. Dosage is dictated by weight, but is often 100mg.

  6. Boy! This article just described everything i’ve been going through for almost 3 years now. I, too have 4 amalgams, 1 root canal. The whole process sounds overwhelming and risky; yet, the other recourse of not going through the removal/chelation is not an option to regain full health. At least now i can start the process. First how to find a biological dentist and a holistic doctor well-versed with the protocol for detox. Thank you Dr. Pompa!

  9. Can you please tell me if the protocol would be the same for other metals such as nickel, silver and tin? I just had a HTMA that showed high on all those, which are materials in the essure birth control implants that I had for 10 years. I just had them surgically removed intact within the fallopian tubes to avoid leaving fragments. Many women have had to have them removed and I’d love to hear any advice on whether the same protocol would apply. Thank you. Nic

  11. I’ve read quite a few articles by Dr. Pompa and watched a lot of the videos. He mentions that he had to rebuild his pituitary/pineal glands using Systemic Formulas GB when he was recovering from mercury poisoning. What is the general recommended usage of Systemic Formulas GB product for a person chelating from heavy metals? When’s the best time to take it and how much?

    Thanks,

  12. do you recommend getting all amalgam fillings out at the same time. i have about 8 from childhood and also 1 root canal. i’m nervous about the whole procedure because I already feel so awful. i have been tested through Dr.s Data and have a great naturopathic dr. who has a bio dentist that is experienced in removing mercury fillings. i just don’t know if I should have them all removed at once.

    Reply

    • Hi Heidi! According to Hal Huggins work, you must not cross the midline when removing amalgams. The midline is an imaginary line dividing the head into two halves at a point between the front teeth and between the eyes, so you likely need multiple appointments. Be sure to allow 48 hours in between appointments and get all of the removal appointments (amalgams, crown) accomplished within a 30-day period or less if at all possible.

      Reply

  13. do you advise having all amalgams taken out at once? i have about 8 plus 1 crown. what happens if you chelate with your amalgams still in? I have heard that messing with them can possibly make mercury toxicity worse, even with a bio dentist.
    thx.

  15. Hi, I’m living in Austria and I am stuck with the amalgam problem for 10 years now. It removed me from a “normal” life. I am really desperate and would need assistance. Recently I started to work with a non-medical practitioner, because I didn’t find a practitioner who would do heavy metal removal. There isn’t even someone who does a proper heavy metals test. But I know for sure that I am heavily intoxinated, because of 18 fillings (3 removed w/o protection 3yrs ago). I have stressors like 1 bad root canal (I think the tooth has to be removed). Since 2 yrs it went worse, cause the mercury moves more into my brain. This non-medical practitioner learned decades ago in a holistic clinic in Switzerland and does all the work, though working with a practitioner. She is the closest to understand the problem and with her I started 2 weeks ago. In a kinesiologic way she tested me highly with mercury. She also said that my system is not open for detox. Regulation process or so is not working? She gives me infusions with alpha-lipoic acid and immediately afterwards I get a protocoll of vitamines, trace minerals and amino acid-complex. She tested me very low in Vitamin C. She told me she works with a dentist who removes fillings properly, but now after reading your excellent articles I am confused what is the proper way to remove the fillings?? What shall I do? Who can guide me through the process? Thank you so much. Franz

  16. Hi. I am from South Africa. My 7 year old son was diagnosed with autism at age 3 and his symptoms are similar to the Dr’s described in the article, including speech and communication delays. A test this year revealed that he has heavy metal poisoning related to baby vaccinations. A heavy metal detox has been prescribed. He is currently on a diet and supplements to strengthen his gut, liver and kidneys. The doctor has mentioned that the procedure could take a very long time and nothing should be rushed. Does Doctor have experience in treating young children with my son’s condition? Will the procedure for him be the same as described in these articles? I am extremely nervous about the procedure but equally hopeful that we have finally found the right treatment for him.

    Thank you sooooooooo much! I had done nearly everything that was tried before DMSA. I almost had to go to the ER on multiple occasions trying to detox.

    I was attracted to this article because of research that I had been doing with DMSO and Baking Soda.

    I am excited to try DMSA since I have spent years trying to work with so many other medicines, but they have been slow.

    Thank you for making this article and for having it be online for free. I like it so much that I am going to send it to my ND. If I had a degree in something good, I would help others myself.

  51. I highly recommend anyone interested in doing heavy metal chelation to read Andrew Cutler’s book on amalgam illness. His position is that DMSA will not remove mercury from the brain. It will reduce the body burden though. Alpha lipoic acid taken every 3 hours round the clock for a minimum of 72 hours will eventually remove Mercury from the brain. A low dose is required to start to minimize redistribution. This is a very long and slow process. Takes anywhere from 2-3 years.

    • In Singapore, I have read, English is almost the only language people use. You should be fine with a Virtual Practitioner if your English is good – and from what you wrote you appear fluent. Keep eating cruciferous, but to keep your oxylates down, use steaming and boiling methods with your dark greens. Get out in the sun at least an half hour between 10 and 2 each day. Be sure your meats have K2 by assuring they are never grain fed even organic grains. Grains (in large amounts) are not for ruminant animals. You need K2. Look it up. Don’t take any calcium supplements unless your doctor requires it. Read “The Calcium Lie” if you can. Look at the Myers Way or Bulletproof diets for consistent eating and supplementing patterns that really work. Your mercury needs particular attention as you have noted, but you can only do what you can do … I’m sure Meredith has someone you can work with.

  72. Thank you for this! I would like a coach to detox properly. There is a biological dentist an hour from me in Washington State & I feel I have to get some old crowns redone because the porcelain is bonded to metal & I don’t know if there is amalgam under those crowns. Is there a coach in Northern Washington state or in the Vancouver Canada area? or close to the US/Canada border in Washington?

  73. Hi,

    Tested for mercury poisoning ( blood) it was in lower range , however I do have 2 medium amalgam fillings.blood works are normal, only few lesion on brain and spine.I doubt , it is heavy metal that has made my life miserable
    I live in India.Can I find Dr pompa trained professional here ?please help.

  75. Is it dangerous to take a single dose of DMSA for the challenge test, but then never take it again if the test results come back ok? Will you have circulating heavy metals that get redeposited in a harmful way from that initial dose?

  76. I’m presently going to a ND in Toronto ON and he is the only Doctor that was able to find out why i wasn’t recovering from depression and anxiety. Through hair analysis he found high mercury and lead toxicity! I have been sick for many years and i’m following a protocol now to restore my balance of vitamins and minerals. I’m also trying to clean up my gut as i have leaky gut.

    I haven’t discussed with this Dr. yet, how he plans on chelating these toxins and i’m interested to find out more about it and if you know of a doctor in Hamilton/Burlington, Ontario area that is trained in this procedure.

    Regards,
    Warren

  78. Hi. I am having my amalgam fillings removed by an approved dentist. How do I go through the chelation process? I would like to see someone in Fargo, ND or Sioux Falls , SD. My insurance pays in SD. I am also taking the Lyme test suggested by my chiro. My symptoms are: depression, migraine, chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, anxiety, insomnia. To go through the chelation, will I be able to continue my antidepressants?

  80. About 11 yrs ago my dentist starting removing my old amalgams 10 months later I had high blood pressure. My blood pressure has always been low not high. I then gained enormous weight without changing my eating habits. I found a physician who said it was heavy metals and it made sense when a plastic surgeon told me I had a nickel allergy and that is why my ear lobes split from pierced ears. However he gave IV chelation and every time I would get a buzz. Now I know it was just redistributeing the metals. I had over 50 or more of them but I still had high blood pressure weight gain and tired symptoms. I have being doing Andrew Cutler method since the end of July. Are there any physicians in Raleigh North Carolina that do his procedure? I worked for a large pharmaceutical for years and after I got a flu shot I was ill I guess because I was cheating the metals out. I also have a gene mutation that makes me get more toxic. I have always been curious about improving my health so now at least I have a plan.

    Reply

  81. Hi Meredith,
    1. Would it be possible to recommend a trained practitioner in Toronto or vicinity, in Canada?
    2. I have a few root canals, is that a problem if I want to chelate heavy metals or I can leave them in my mouth? I have had amalgam fillings removed 12 years ago. Other than root canals I only have composite fillings and 2 porcelain crowns.
    3. Does Dr Pompa’s protocol align with Dr. Cutler protocol ? I am curious if they use similar approaches.

    Thank you

  97. I just saw Dr Pompa on episode 9 of Vaccines Revealed. I have been researching the cause of my 12 yr old daughters symptoms for about a year now and when he described what he went through it was like I died and went to heaven. All the pieces of the puzzle fell into place and dots connected. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have purchased the gold edition of the series and his diet book already
    . I was already on the trail of vaccine damage and mercury and Stephanie Seneffs research but this put everything into perspective just perfectly. Chronic (not acute ) mercury poisoning fits perfectly with her symptoms. I now have the weapons and the will to help her. I would be very grateful for any information on a doctor in Vancouver BC area who would be able to help. I am separated from my ex and she is not capable of understanding all this so I have had to hire a lawyer in order to sue for sole custody just to help my daughter. This has given me much ammunition and so much hope.I will very much appreciate any help you can give.

  103. Dear Dr. Pompa,

    Wow…you’re story and mine are so very very similar…I’ve been sick for 10 years…I’ve had a “group of specialist” that just don’t know what to do?! God and I have had some deep, dark talks…I thought, too, it would be easier to give up! And just last November, I just quit taking my meds, ate whatever, drank whatever, and just wanted to be normal, you know? Just normal again…
    I’ve battled systemic lupus, BARRETTS esophagus, cancer, and thyroidectomy. I went from no scars on my body, to 15 scars in ten years…a vibrant, fun, positive, woman to a frail, fatigued, just surviving.
    Then, a friends biological dentist heard of me, and as a charity, he removed my Mercury fillings at no cost to me. I was so grateful,,, and still believe that was a God “wink”* from above.
    Although the fillings were removed, I wasn’t properly educated in what to do next. I was given 2 charcoal tablets, and a piece of paper with 4 detox supplements, and DMSA, but no directions on how to take it or the timing? Do you take activated charcoal too with DMSA? And what is the propert time to take liposomal glutathione and the DMSA? Morning? Night?
    I also saw that in order to help make your own bodies glutathione, NAC is very helpful. Is this true?
    I’d love for you to just say to me…Take this in the morning,take this in the afternoon, and this at dinner…can it be that simple?
    Would so appreciate your expertise and help!
    Can you help me?

  104. Hi I live in Switzerland and have discussed detox with several drs. One gave me DMPS caps and told me to take one a week for 4 weeks then report back. He also did some IV chelation again one IV each week, no prep and no post IV chelation.
    After reading on various places I got very concerned that it might be doing more harm than good.
    Are there drs that will help over Skype. I have a strong medical background and have been detoxing liver, GB, lymph for several yeas and use an infrared sauna frequently and daily when I have time.
    I also follow a very healthy diet no grains, dairy, soy, corn, sugar and so on.
    I have the hypothalamus pituitary problem dr Pompa talks about. I have not been able to find a dr here to help with that or even understand what I am talking about. I have a bioresonance device that showed me that my HPA axis is broken.
    I also have mitochondrial dysfunction but it’s clear it’s due to the toxic metals I have.
    So is there anyone you can refer me to for coaching online?
    Thank you for your reply.

    • Hi Katia!
      We do not advise detoxing while pregnant or nursing, but detoxing prior to pregnancy may help set-up your body for a healthy pregnancy! At least a month of time between detoxing and prior to pregnancy may be helpful, and we do not suggest beginning detox again until after breast-feeding is finished 🙂

    • Genetic testing for methylation is available, but does not always paint a clear picture (it’s far too complicated), and doesn’t necessarily correlate to one’s detox ability.

  114. I’m interested in finding a doc that knows this protocol in the Chattanooga, TN area. Or, in getting with Dr. Pompa wherever he is. My husband (age 55) had 11 amalgams, a biologic dentist in our area has taken out all but three. The last three will come out on July 6. I’m concerned about the protocol–on top of Mesenteric Pinniculitis and leaky gut, my husband also has severe chemical gastritis. He’s currently on prednisone and can’t get off it. It is keeping the inflammation at bay, but it also is not letting the gastritis heal.

    I hope you have some answers for me. Thank you.

  127. Have been reading a lot on this. I am confused with the protocol described in the Brain Phase true detox product(https://revelationhealth.com/collections/detox-and-cleansing/products/true-cellular-detox-brain-phase-941-30-day-supply). It appears you are not taking ALA every 2-3 hours OR overnight, the commonly prescribed protocol by most. Everything I have read is this critical to avoid re-depositing and to ensure mercury leaves the body. Thanks for clarification. Also do you typically recommend challenge testing or something like Shades tri-test without challenge? Thanks for clarification

    Reply

    • Hi Alex!
      Thanks for reaching out. ALA (contained in BrainDTX supplements) is taken with CytoDetox during the Brain phase; since Cyto has a different (i.e. longer) half life than DMSA, this twice daily time interval has been found to be effective to help remove cellular toxins. For product support, please call Revelation Health at 888.600.0642 🙂
      Challenge testing can be a great idea to gage pre-detox status and progress; we suggest working with a practitioner for guidance, and like the Doctor’s Data urine toxic metals test (24 hour urine collection). Best!
