Sorry to butt in but I noticed that you don't have Selenium on your list, this is a very important chelator of heavy metals such as Mercury, cadmium and lead. For any Mercury detox I would definitely add this to your detox regimen. Also and importantly certainly of Mercury toxicity can be confirmed by a blood test. Doctors don't seem to be interested in my experience as they go n the evidence presented and to them mercury amalgam poisoning doesn't exist.
My advice is to get a test for Mercury to be absolutely certain there are good labs such as Genova Diagnostics. Although you will need the advice and help of a nutritional practitioner/functional medicine practitioner for many tests at a lab.
You can also have a look at this regarding Mercury Toxicity.

I have at least 10 amalgam fillings and it's certainly true that very small amounts of Mercury vapour are emitted from the fillings every day. I wonder whose clever idea it was to put one of the most toxic metals second only after Plutonium in peoples mouths! Dentistry has taken the opinion that Mercury amalgam is not dangerous and doesn't appreciably affect health, of course if they admitted it then they'd have some explaining to do, and it would be costly. The official stance is that it doesn't affect health so it's doubtful that a doctor will test you for Mercury toxicity.
