Anyone try ACC heavy metal detox protocol? Thoughts?

I think 'MarkF' ??? or something like that on the forum is the most experienced here in the ACC protocol. Hopefully he will chime in.

If you are seriously considering it I would read through their pinned facebook posts and consider buying the Doctor's Data heavy metal and mineral hair analysis test. Once you get the results you can post them to the facebook group and a moderator will tell you if you meet one or more of the rules for mercury toxicity.

Aloha,

I might be the only only one hanging out here still but curious if there are others. However if you search in the forum you’ll find post going as far back as 2012 with people stating they have had good results on ACC.

I go into everything with a pretty high level of skepticism. I did with Cronic Lyme itself, ILADs, LLMD.s and also doing with ACC.

A short summary is.

*In ACC mercury due to amalgams and Vaccines is possible cause for many chronic conditions.

* How it happens is Mercury disrupts you body’s ability to manage nutrients. Also disrupts certain organs, Adenal, Thyroid, and brain being the most common. So by being malnourished, you are susceptible to all kinds of things.

*ACC addresses the issue I 2 ways. Chelates (pulls) the mercury out very slowly. 1-4 years. However that’s actually small part of the protocol. The other half is that he determined what supplements your missing based on your symptoms. So by supplementing correctly, you can start to feel better in about 6 weeks.

*Now I’ll admit is take a lot of dedication. Also you really cannot duel treat. I’ve been at this for about 16 months. Why ACC people would not stay is many of the treatments you all reccomend here on this site are considered dangerous for a mercury toxic person. It’s hard not to comment and by doing so we are consider out of step from a typical chronic Lyme point of view. Which is that no one treatment is the tight treatment.

* So ACC agrees with that POV partially. There is only one way to ultimately get cured. Get the mercury our. However where we agree is that it’s effect on a body it invidual and therefore the supplements a person need can Ben very specific.

So how am I doing. Pretty well actually. I’ve been benefiting significantly from the suppliments but also I’m stating to feel my body changing for the better. Most of my food tolerance are gone I’ve just joined at SNAP fittness and will very slowly start to work our, I can manage work and vacations Ok but just can’t overdue it yet, I can drink a litttle at night while on vac but absolutely no day drinking, Last my career is rebooting. I ve realized I’ve been sick way before my heath crash and am close to being healed from that event 2 years ago. I’m now addressing issues I had when I thought I was not sick.

In short , pretty amazing.

I hang out here for opportunities like this.

Thanks

Mark

BTW most naturopaths are utterly clueless about mercury detox, they want to use herbs and plant to chelate mercury and it just ain't happening. You need real deal mercury chelators if mercury is your issue. Cilantro and chlorella often times just make everything worse in the long run.

Now if you only have very mild mercury poisoning then thats a different story.

you need to get the hair test done and post results to the ACC group

Yes for some ACC does not work, for others it does.

PS @Lapis_29, yes I've learned the how Naturopaths are re: heavy metal detox. That is what makes this even more baffling and me questioning a little of the ACC model.

Why aren't naturopaths and doctors that do so called chelation embracing this method if it is the be all end all? Thanks!

After Andy died his co author posted about the behind the scenes truth. Andy did a few rounds of his own protocol and then quit because it was too much for him to handle. And yet he still created this very strict protocol with strict rules and his followers act like he is/was an infallible deity. Its absurd. The guy couldn't even stick to his own protocol and yet he demands everyone else do it. I find that to be incredibly dishonest and the reason I don't take him and his cult's rules all that seriously.

Very happy he sounded the alarm about mercury, he did a lot of great things no doubt. But creating a cult around a strict protocol that some found to be very harmful was not good.

And you are doing what everyone in ACC does, try to probe and find one small deviation from the protocol so you can proclaim thats why it didn't work. And yet Andy himself couldn't even keep to the dang protocol. Nah, not interested in playing that game.

If it works for you great, but for some it absolutely does not. And stop spreading the BS about the OSR we get being counterfeit. Its from the same lab that the inventor gets it from. Its the real deal, and it works. If you don't want to do it, great. But don't spread dishonest misinformation.

I pretty well versed in both statements you made along with the particulars of OSR. It's well known Andy stopped ALA to finish his research. As to the other statement about my spreading BS anyone interested can go in the FB site and asked where to get it. I would hope if you are doing a group buy your not stupid enough to repackage it prior to distribution. Again, while I agree it shows promise, it has not been fully vetted and approved by the FDA for human consumption. You guys even admit yourselves your guinea pigs. Hey I'll be the first to line up when it's tested and dose is determined. However, I expect I'll be done with ACC by that time.

Yes as to my questions. No you cannot deviate on many things. So if your not willing to stick with the protocol, you should not try. And yes the strict rules are for a reason. What works, what does not, and what is dangerous. I've spent over a year reading posts on ACC and not on OSR. Most if not all that are unsuccessful deviate in some from. However the sad fact is there appears to be some that have a low threshold on every thing they take and do not better with OSR. Some but not all.

Hey at least we can agree on one thing. Mercury is bad, very bad.

We should all do out own research and make our choices

The strict rules were something Andy came up with just by thinking. Not by experimentation or by case studies or by clinical experiences of real life patients. And even he couldn't stick to them. So I don't take them seriously, and I don't take the ACC religion seriously either.

Yeah, there's lots that doesn't add up. I mean just looking at the poor man. He was younger than my mom and looked ancient and now dead, bless his heart. The fact that there are no or less than one healthcare provider that specializes in ACC chelation (that I'm aware of) is enough to make me scratch my head. Gonna try it but I have concerns.

He was 61 when he died? If so....yah...he looks 70 in the photo I saw.

What did you end up going with osr or acc?
