Frequently Asked Questions about the Andy Cutler Chelation Protocol

Q: What is the Andy Cutler Chelation protocol? A: The Andy Cutler Chelation protocol is the safest method of removing heavy metals, such as mercury, from the body. Developed by Dr. Andy Cutler, a biochemist, the protocol is based on the use of chelating agents, which bind to heavy metals and help to excrete them from the body.

Q: Is the protocol effective in removing mercury from the brain? A: Yes, the Andy Cutler Chelation protocol is highly effective in removing mercury from the brain. The key to the protocol is the use of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), which is a chelating agent that can cross the blood-brain barrier and effectively chelate mercury from the brain.

Q: What chelating agents are used on the protocol? A: DMSA or DMPS {you don't use both at the same time}, are the main chelators that help remove mercury from the blood and organs in the body. ALA is used to chelate mercury and other heavy metals form the brain.

Q: How long does the protocol typically take? A: The length of the protocol can vary depending on the individual, but it typically takes several months to three+ years to complete. The protocol is typically done in rounds, with each round lasting 64-72 hours, followed by a 4 day break period called off round. The length of the protocol can also depend on the individual's level of mercury exposure and the length of time that the mercury has been in the body.

Q: Is the protocol safe? A: The protocol is safe when done correctly. However, it's important to note that the protocol can cause a wide variety of redistribution symptoms, such as fatigue, headaches, and muscle aches.

Q: Is the protocol suitable for children? A: Dr. Cutler's protocol is safe for children as young as 12 months. To read about success stories from parents who have used this protocol with their children, read them here.

Q: What are the possible side effects of the protocol? A: The protocol can cause redistribution symptoms, such as fatigue, headaches, and muscle aches.

Q: Do I need to follow a special diet while on the protocol? A: No, there is no specific diet that needs to be followed while on the protocol. However, it's always a good idea to eat a healthy and balanced diet to support the body's detoxification processes.
