The Cutler Protocol is a Chelation method created by Dr. Andrew Hall Cutler. It is a mercury detoxifying treatment that also removes heavy metals and other toxins from one's body. This is done via supplements, ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) or drugs like DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), DMPS or EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). It is a process that involves oral (taking capsules), transdermal (application to the skin) or Intravenous administration (IV injection into body). The Cutler Protocol does not recommend the latter.
This protocol is used by thousands primarily to remove mercury caused by dental amalgams, mercury in general, and also mercury from vaccinations in Autistic persons. This method is most commonly practiced with either Alpha Lipoic Acid (Lipoic Acid), DMSA, DMPS or EDTA. The protocol does also assist in removal of: Nickel, lead, and other toxic elements.
The Cutler Protocol recommends using ALA & DMSA, taken orally.
Is oral chelation safe? There are currently divided opinions regarding the issue, however anecdotal evidence suggests that they do safely and effectively remove many different toxins. The chelators have everything to do with the outcome as each one is uniquely different. Some are a naturally derived substance, as in Alpha Lipoic Acid, and others are synthetic and powerful, such as EDTA, DMSA, and DMPS.
What is Chelation? Chelation is a process by which a substance in the bloodstream can attach or 'bind' itself to the toxin (heavy metal) and hold onto it while it makes its way through the digestive system, the liver and or kidneys and eventually out of the body by way of feces or urine. Many foods and herbs in nature have this chelating capability like cilantro and chlorella. However, the bind is weak and so some of the toxin is 'dropped', usually in the small intestines, before it leaves the body and is thereby re-absorbed into the body where it will settle in various organs and tissue and make you sick all over again.
Other chelators like Lipoic Acid, EDTA, DMSA and DMPS are very strong in their binding ability in that they do not drop the toxin so easily and are capable of 'escorting' these metals completely out of the body. ALA will seek out mercury and bind to it but it will not alleviate symptoms of toxicity as the chelator has to pull the toxin into the bloodstream in order to remove it from the body. DMSA, on the other hand, will also bind to the metals once in the bloodstream AND will alleviate symptoms associated.
There are many protocols, or methods, for removing these heavy metals. The Cutler protocol emphasizes a safe method in that it enables a consistent level of chelator (e.g. Lipoic Acid, DMSA etc.) to be in the bloodstream and thereby binding to the metal and escorting it out. This requires that the chelator be taken every couple hours round the clock even at night for several days and then resting without the chelators for the same amount of time. For example, most people do 3 day on and 3 days off.
For more information and for beginnning the Cutler Protocol his book "Amalgam Illness Diagnosis and Treatment" is a must read!
**the recommended chelators are Alpha Lipoic Acid and DMSA, if you prefer to only do natural supplementation it is perfectly fine to forego DMSA but ALA is critical and required per the protocol**

This is outstanding!
