There's a lot of people here at CZ that have difficult illnesses, the Debate Forums are PACKED with obsessive/compulsives who clearly need some kind of intervention, and no matter what we try, many of us can't find a solution that'll allow us to stop trying 20 different "modalities" at once, and just live life in good health.
You might not think this post applies to you, but if you have silver Amalgam fillings in your teeth, or you've ever had vaccines (that really narrows it down!..lol) you might want to read this, or at least watch the videos at the end.

I've posted a few times about Autism topics, and have done my best to fully answer questions as they arise. But it's seldom possible to give a full answer because it's a complicated subject, so I thought I'd post an Autism overview (that I can refer back to) that describes what problems my family faced, how we discovered what was REALLY wrong, and the results we've gotten from the efforts we've made. Miracle-Mineral-Supplement is our latest attempt at solving the yeast/candida problem, but not in the way that you might think.

What I didn't know about vaccines and Amalgam "silver" tooth fillings (and you may not either!)
-----
Mercury is the 2nd most deadly biological toxin on earth, toxic to virtually EVERY kind of living organism, but especially problematic for humans.
During the 1930's, Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical company started selling the "silver" Amalgam filling compound containing approximately 50% mercury which is still used by 80% of all dentists to this day! Reputable testing was never done, and although mercury had been tried and rejected during the 1800's as unsafe for use, Eli Lily silver amalgam fillings were widely adopted because were easy to work with, and most people showed no INITIAL health problems from their use.
But that same decade, Eli Lilly also released a mercury-containing "preservative" called "THIMEROSAL", to be used in injectable vaccines. Up until the past couple of years (2001-2006) thimerosal/mercury has been used in ALL vaccines, that did not contain a live virus. Since 2006, MOST children's vaccines no longer contain thimerosal, but all FLU vaccines still do and many specialty vaccines are still given to children with thimerosal in them.
Since the 1930's, each successive generation of Americans have become progressively more mercury-toxic than the previous, due to the "biological magnification" that occurs when a percentage of a mom's body burden of unexcreted mercury is transferred to her baby during the 9 month gestation.
Most people can EXCRETE toxic metals to avoid getting sick from mercury exposure, but there's a genetic subset of people who cannot excrete heavy metals, and get very sick as a result. Mercury toxicity has been implicated in every sort of "modern" disease from allergies to autism, from cancer to crohn's disease, from ADD/ADHD to Alzheimer's disease and the list of suspected mercury-implicated diseases grows every year......The problem for ordinary people is.... HOW THE HECK do you know what part of ANY ILLNESS is actually a RESULT of being POISONED, 24 HOURS PER DAY, by dental fillings, eating fish, getting vaccines, or simply breathing mercury-laden pollution?

A little history of my "HELLTH".....
----------
About 25 years ago I was diagnosed with the early signs of Parkinson's disease. Although terrified about the implications for my young family, I wasn't particularly surprised to hear the diagnosis because I had family members die from complications of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease on BOTH sides of my family.
Of course, I was diagnosed more than a decade before the browser-based internet came into being, so sites like the Curezone, and groups like those at groups.yahoo.com didn't exist, even in the dreams of the "Pirates of Silicon Valley."
Speaking of dreams, I had terrifying recurring nightmares that I wouldn't DIE SOON ENOUGH to prevent my deteriorating condition from bankrupting my little family, and that we would run out of money too quickly to allow me to die and have my life insurance kick in and pay for the mortgage and the kids college. (And of course, once I was diagnosed with an incurable neurological disease, the chances of getting mortgage and supplemental income insurance to cover them , dropped to ZERO.)
The problem with neurological diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's (and other diseases like MS, ALS, and CP, etc.) is that they don't even give you the RESPECT of killing you quickly. They take away your ability to hold a job, then your physical strength, then your memory and finally your sanity, until you're unable to do anything but look blankly at the faces of your loved ones, with no recognition of who they are.
Well, I did everything I could think of to live healthy. I read everything I could find about the disease.
I lifted weights, taught more Taekwondo classes (my first love since I was a teenager), took handfuls of vitamins, worked hard outside after work (we have a small farm) and tried various diets.
All of these things helped me feel better physically, but the progress of Parkinson's continued to stalk me like a leopard stalking an injured newborn calf that had straggled away from the herd.
Fast forward to 1998, when our oldest son had his first beautiful, normal healthy 9 1/2 pound baby boy. :)
I was so grateful that I actually lived long enough to see the face of my first grandson, and since I had physically conditioned myself, I was able to create some "work-arounds" for the symptoms of Parkinson's.
But after our grandson was born, he was given all of his recommended vaccines at the proper times and pronounced perfectly healthy....until he was about 18 months old, and had his MMR cluster of vaccines. (measles, mumps and rubella).
He came home SCREAMING from the doctor, and continued to scream, night and day, for the next few WEEKS. It was terrible to listen to, but his doctor simply dismissed it, saying, "this happens sometimes."
Well, long story short(er), we had no idea that 18 months is THE CLASSIC timing for the onset of regressive AUTISM. I had barely HEARD of the disease at that time!.
Later, we were DEVASTATED that our formerly perfect and healthy grandson was diagnosed as "Autistic" by the same pediatrician who ordered his shots. But we were so desperate for SOMETHING to do about our grandson's deteriorating condition, that I got a dial-up internet account and used the old "Hot Bot" search engine (this was way before Google was around) and came upon the "groups.yahoo.com" listserv discussion forums, which had an Autism discussion group with a couple of hundred members!
And I think it was in that group, that I came upon this jaw dropping quote from the late Bernard Rimland PhD:
"THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTISM AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, IS THE AGE OF THE PATIENT"
Well, of course, the doctors denied ANY CONNECTION between mercury (which was used in all children's vaccines back then, (except MMR) and the "ONSET" version of Autism OR Alzheimer's. (They still do!)
But since our grandson was deteriorating so fast. (no eye contact even to his mom, high pitched squealing and spinning in circles ALL-DAY-EVERY-DAY, wouldn't eat anything but milk, DOZENS of ear infections and anti-biotic shots) I was driven to AT LEAST TRY the recommendations of other parents, and TREAT AUTISM LIKE IT WAS REALLY TOXIC METAL POISONING.
Those years are a BLUR now, because we tried every conceivable diet, protocol, supplement, enzyme, and therapy, in order to reverse the deterioration of our grandson. But it wasn't until we CHELATED FOR TOXIC METALS, that we really saw progress in getting his little life turned around. It was after about a YEAR of mercury chelation, that we first saw progress with the other modalities we were trying. (diet, ABA therapy, supps, hyperbaric therapy, enzymes...you name it)
Since then, they had another son (another grandson for us!), and he too was autistic, although not quite as severely. But I've learned quite a bit over these past 10-25 years of dealing with neurological illnesses that doctors pronounced as "INCURABLE"
If you want ONE THING to take away from this rambling monograph, it's this:
AUTISM, ADD, ADHD, ASBERGER'S, PARKINSON'S, and countless other "MODERN" diseases ARE CAUSED BY ONE THING......UNEXCRETED MERCURY. Treating for anything else in these patients IS SIMPLY TREATING THE SYMPTOMS. There is no "complicated etiology" for the initial cause of these diseases other than the presence of mercury. But RECOVERY from these problems can involve any number of approaches AFTER YOU ELIMINATE THE MERCURY, if total recovery is even possible! (it's often not.)
Why am I so sure about this mercury stuff? It's because I've ACTUALLY CURED some of these conditions in my own family. MYSELF, and others, simply by chelating against the advice of our worthless pediatricians and the CRIMINAL A.M.A., which steadfastly denies that mercury is even a problem!
For myself, I realized that our grandkids had our genes, and that MAYBE Parkinson's was related to MY INABILITY to excrete the mercury in my fillings and shots I'd had over the years.
So I got my amalgam fillings replaced, did 4 years of chelation, and guess what?? NO MORE PARKINSONS SYMPTOMS! (I feel like cheering, just seeing it in print! :)
But before I show you the supporting videos, please pause for a moment and reflect on what this mercury problem means in the "bigger picture."
------
Current and Future implications
-----
First, you have drug companies treating "we the people" like farm animals for their own profit.....knowingly keeping us sick and selling us "miracle cures" for the problems they know FULL WELL are caused by mercury toxicity that THEY are responsible for introducing into our bodies. (No, this is not "conspiracy" garbage, please suspend your disbelief until you watch the videos below)
Second, you have the problem of 80% of the people normally eliminating mercury toxins (from mouthfuls of metal fillings) into the public waste waters, which pollutes our streams, rivers, and ultimately even the food we eat as it works it's way up back up through the food chain. Net result? Every successive generation gets more mercury toxic!
Third, what happens when all these autistic kids turn adult age? (remember, it was only 1991 when the Hep-B shot became mandatory AT BIRTH, and vaccines became a major "PROFIT CENTER" for unscrupulous drug companies.) It's roughly 16 YEARS AGO that the autism rate started to rise parabolically, so the first flood of victims are just now about 17, ready to go into society on their own. (if they can) They are of normal size, strength and even intellect, but many (or most) are headed TO PRISON, because as their social incompetence turns to frustration, turns to anger, they'll become increasingly maladjusted, unable to hold a job, turn to drugs and crime to get by, and wind up in jail (we hope!) or more likely, homeless and desperate.
The COST of the "autism epidemic" is incalculable in human terms, but in strict dollars and cents, it's been estimated that caring for, treating, and incarcerating all the socially incapable vaccine injured kids born over the past couple of DECADES, will excede OVER 20 TRILLION (yes, with a T) dollars.
Do you have any idea where that 20 Trillion dollars is going to come from? And have you considered what will happen to the fabric of our society, when you have 1 out of every 150 boys, born in the past couple of decades, unable to fend for himself and is forced to live on the streets once his parents die? (if government can't fix social security, what do you think is going to happen with all these helpless kids?)
But don't take my word for it. Listen to these videos and if you aren't flabbergasted, I'll buy you a free happy meal from Taco Bell.

Wow, Hellth, what an amazing post. My heart goes out to you and your family and all the other families in our country who are going through similar experiences. People don't seem to want to listen when we tell them about mercury in the vaccines, etc. I am forwarding your post to some of those, hoping they will believe.
Your links are great. Thank you so much. God bless.
Mercury has been known for it's ability to cause craziness and rage since the Mad Hatter of Alice in Wonderland, but nobody seems to connect the dots when the evening news has glaring examples of madmen running loose killing kids in schools and popular films like "Jackass" showing people intentionally hurting themselves...for entertainment?
We have some family in the military, and the overseas vaccines series are LEGENDARY for their ability to make departing soldiers "flip out."
I'm in the process of trying Miracle-Mineral-Supplement on our grandkids, in an attempt to solve their " food sensitivity " issues, once and for all. It's still very early to tell, but they do seem to be responding to Miracle-Mineral-Supplement (4-6 drops once a day, each) with better attention in schoolwork and better ability to follow directions, etc.
Very interesting post. Thanks for sharing. Did you do the chelation yourself or through a clinic? IV or pills? I've read a little about and thought it sounded promising.
"Very interesting post. Thanks for sharing. Did you do the chelation yourself or through a clinic? IV or pills? I've read a little about and thought it sounded promising."
Hi NDScott, We wound up doing them ourselves, but we needed prescriptions for some of the stuff we tried, and back in the 90's, the traditional MD's had NO CLUE what we trying to do.
We had to go outside our HMO provider for someone who would take our money and listen to us in return. (amazing racket, the US medical community has set up for itself!)
We used capsules, broken down to dosage and mixed with fruit juice, administered with an eye dropper.
Later, we learned how to do Vitamin C IV's ourselves and that saved a lot of bad effects for me when I was chelating.
These days, I imagine there are real doctors who have developed some expertise, but I'd be suspicious of ANYONE who tries to give "challenge" tests and glutathione pushes, etc.
didnt i read or hear somewhere that actvated sodium chlorite acts as a chelating agent. that it removes heavy metals such as mercury from the body? so in essence, if this is true, would we actually need to do any other type of chelation (oral or iv) considering how costly those other things (esp. IV chelation) can be? does anyone know where info. about mms and it's chelating effects can be found or read?
if mms is a chelator and can remove mercury or other things like that from the body, perhaps we have exactly what we need for our daughter right here at home right now???
MMS will oxidize the metals. When a metal such as mercury is oxidized, it is effectively neutralized and non-toxic to you. However, you will want something to help you remove it from the body. Make sure these pathways are moving well; bowels and kidneys. Exercising helps. Also, chlorella and/or cilantro. If there is a lot, it could be more than Miracle-Mineral-Supplement can handle; so your body is still dealing with it for a while.
"MMS will oxidize the metals. When a metal such as mercury is oxidized, it is effectively neutralized and non-toxic to you. However, you will want something to help you remove it from the body. "
Hi Jfh, I agree with you. However, cilantro and chlorella are difficult to dose, and there was supposedly someone who nearly died from juicing a POUND of cillantro and drinking it after an industrial mercury spill. I don't know if it was true, but the capsule chelators are uniform and dependable. Also, if you use ALA, you can get it at any health food store and it's very inexpensive.
Sure you can chelate yourselves! You just have to make sure that you don't have any metal fillings or root canal work with Amalgam hidden under the gums, and such.
About Miracle-Mineral-Supplement as a chelator....I've heard the argument about Miracle-Mineral-Supplement "oxidizing" the heavy metals and removing them, but in my experience, you need a sulphur-compound chelation base agent that will firmly ATTACH the mercury and drag it out of your body. I don't think Miracle-Mineral-Supplement will work very well for that, if at all. Mercury redistribution is a REAL HEALTH HAZARD, and many people learn the hard way about doing it right the first time.
DMSA, ALA, and DMPS are the chelators we used, and they all make your daily eliminations smell like sulphur. If it doesn't stink to high heaven, you're doing something wrong! :)
Also, imo, mercury urine and hair testing is an unnecessary expense, because if you've had fillings and vaccines, you have some level of mercury in your body.
so since my daughter has no fillings or root canals i could just go ahead and get started on some type of chelating for her(and myself,maybe)?
what would the protocol look like for her?
( my husband (jo14) is loaded with Amalgam fillings however,so he is not a candidate for this unless he gets them removed, correct?)
i had my root canals removed 10 years ago and i have never had any Amalgam fillings. however, in 1987 i began to work at a group home for developmentally disabled adults and i had to have the hep b vaccines (3 phase)-- and not so surprisingly, things started getting bad for me right aroung that time. i also had all the normal vaccines as a kid.
i have had iv chelation w/ edta in the past probably about 30 chelation IV's. would you assume that any mercury i may have had through vaccines would be gone through those IV"S already? yet, i often wonder why i still have the cognitive issues then?
you mentioned that you were giving your grand kids small doses of mms. what is your reasoning for this, i would love to know?
so, as far as my daughter, what would you suggest i do to get started chelating? could you reccomend specific brand name products that you have already used and provide me with a link?
hope you can respond to all my questions? thanks so much.
so since my daughter has no fillings or root canals i could just go ahead and get started on some type of chelating for her(and myself,maybe)?

Ananda, get some FRESH alpha lipoic acid and start out slow with your daughter, giving her a maximum of 1/2 milligram per pound of body weight every 3 or 4 hours. (except for when sleeping) (so, for example, if she weighs 100 pounds, you'd give her a MAXIMUM of 50mg of ALA every 3-4 hours, but I'd start out with 25mg, just to see how she takes it.
At the same time, give her 2000mg of Vitamin C per ALA dose, unless her tummy gets upset, then back off until comfortable. Also, give her a good quality multivitamin sometime during the day with food, and make sure she gets enough magnesium (by capsule or Epsom Salt bath) and make sure she's getting plenty of Omega 3's and 6's.
Keep her on this schedule for a minimum of 3 DAYS, then off for the next 11 days. (so you have 2 WEEK BLOCKS of scheduled chelation.
It's VERY IMPORTANT to keep the VitC level UP during the times off, and if she develops weird problems like rashes and aches and pains, etc, it's almost ALWAYS yeast-related and you can take off for a while, or try the usual grape seed extract or Black-Walnut for yeast.
You should do this for about 1 YEAR before expecting to see dramatic results. But it's not as daunting as it sounds, because it's such a low, slow method that you will fall into the routine and not even think about it. We trade "FAST and DRAMATIC" for "SAFE and EASY" with this method.
"( my husband (jo14) is loaded with Amalgam fillings however,so he is not a candidate for this unless he gets them removed, correct?)"
EXACTLY right, and make sure he doesn't take multivitamins that contain ALA either.
"i had my root canals removed 10 years ago and i have never had any Amalgam fillings. however, in 1987 i began to work at a group home for developmentally disabled adults and i had to have the hep b vaccines (3 phase)-- and not so surprisingly, things started getting bad for me right aroung that time. i also had all the normal vaccines as a kid.

EDTA isn't recommended for MERCURY chelation if I remember correctly, as it was developed for LEAD toxicity. I've never used it, so I can't tell you for sure.
"you mentioned that you were giving your grand kids small doses of mms. what is your reasoning for this, i would love to know?"
There's an Autism researcher named Dr. Andrew Wakefield and he hypothesized that MMR vaccines worked in tandem with mercury-toxic kids to cause autism. He actually found measle VIRUS in autistic children's guts, which I thought might be a continuing source of gut inflammation, and therefore susceptible to the considerable Antibiotic power of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement dosing. So far, it certainly hasn't hurt with our grandkids, but I believe in going slow and not quitting before a protocol has a chance to work for a while.
"so, as far as my daughter, what would you
suggest i do to get started chelating? could you reccomend specific brand name products that you have already used and provide me with a link?"
Vitacost.com is my current favorite vitamin place, but any vitamin store will do, just so long as they have a high-enough turnover to make sure their stock is rotated regularly. Check for a STRONG sulphur smell from fresh Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Incidentally, if you just do some reading on ALA itself, I think you'll be very impressed with it as an adjunct to your daily vitamins.
hope you can respond to all my questions? thanks so much.
ALA is a very powerful ANTI-OXIDANT, and although JH doesn't mention it, I believe it's just as contraindicated as Vit C when dosing with Miracle-Mineral-Supplement .
So if your daughter is taking Miracle-Mineral-Supplement currently, you might want to concentrate on 3 days of ALA chelation, then 11 days off with Vit C in the morning, Miracle-Mineral-Supplement in the afternoon/evening.
Brain fog is a funny thing. You don't miss it when it's gone, then one day you wake up and realize, "hey, how come I can think so much better now?" :)
Hi - Could you please give me more information about not using ALA if you have Amalgam fillings. Is that what you meant?
I'm new here and am in the midst of trying to figure out if I'm having peripheral neuropathy from toxic heavy metal poisoning and was under the impression that the ALA helped with the detoxification.
The most toxic chemicals known to men can be million times more toxic then the most dangerous mercury compound, dimethyl mercury.
Dimethyl mercury, the most dangerous mercury compound, is not considered as toxic (by experts), as the top 10 most toxic chemicals known to men.
That doesn't mean dimethylmercury is not toxic ... it only means it is not as toxic as some other compounds created by some bacteria or viruses.
Dimethyl mercury is extremely toxic, but is not considered the 2nd most deadly biological toxin by any expert in chemistry.
The problem with messages on CureZone is that people keep spreading myths or half truths. By doing so, they take away from the credibility of the complete message.
If one part of a message is clearly wrong (there are hard facts proving it being wrong) ... how can we be sure that the rest of a message is not as wrong too?
When you say mercury, in chemistry, physics and in most sciences that means "elemental mercury".
Elemental mercury is not even close to the top 50 most toxic substances known to men.
The most dangerous mercury compound, dimethyl mercury, is so toxic that even a few micro-liters (few milligrams) spilled on the skin, or even a latex glove, can cause death. Dimethylmercury can be fatal within hours or less.
In case of the most toxic chemicals, it is enough with a few nanograms. (nanogram = 1000 times less then micro-gram = million times less then milligram)
Compounds of mercury tend to be much more toxic than the element itself, and organic compounds of mercury are often extremely toxic and have been implicated in causing brain and liver damage.
Through bioaccumulation in the environment, methyl mercury works its way up the food chain, reaching high concentrations among populations of some species. Larger species of fish, such as tuna or swordfish, are usually of greater concern than smaller species.
There is no evidence that moderate consumption of fish in the U.S. poses a significant health hazard. One recent Harvard Medical School study of mothers and their infants suggests that the nutritional benefits of eating fish outweighs the potential drawbacks of methylmercury.
Ethylmercury is a breakdown product of the antibacteriological agent thimerosal which has effects similar but not identical to methyl mercury.
Here's a list of the most poisonous chemicals known to men.
Toxicity varies from one species to another (i.e., what may be poisonous for a mouse may be more/less poisonous to a human) and within a species (i.e., age, sex, genetics all affect susceptibility to a toxin).
#1 tetanus
1 nanogram/kg
mouse, human
#2 botulinal neurotoxin (bacteria)
1 nanogram/kg
mouse, human
#3 shigella (bacteria)
1 nanogram/kg
monkey, human
#3 palytoxin (coral)
60 nanogram/kg
dog (iv)
#4 diphtheria (bacteria)
100 nanogram/kg
human
#5 ricin (from castor beans)
1 microgram/kg
human
#6 aflatoxins (mold which grows on nuts, legumes, seeds)
1-784 micrograms, depending on type of aflatoxin
duckling (oral)
Elemental mercury (pure mercury) is readily absorbed through the skin. However, because mercury has a very high surface tension at room temperature, it does not wet the skin (as water would) and the contact area is therefore limited (reducing absorption rates). Materials with high surface tensions tend to form near spherical droplets which do not conform fully to topologically complex surfaces like skin (the mercury touches the papillary ridges, not the grooves). Nonetheless, handling mercury with unprotected hands has resulted in cases of severe mercury poisoning.
Mercury vapour is rapidly absorbed into the body through the respiratory tract during inhalation. Chronic exposure, even at low concentrations in the range 0.7–42 μg/m3, has been shown in case control studies to cause effects such as tremors, impaired cognitive skills, and sleep disturbance in workers.
Mercury is only poorly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
Mercury occurs inorganically as salts such as mercury chloride. Mercury salts primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract and the kidneys, and can cause severe kidney damage; however, as they can not cross the blood-brain barrier easily, mercury salts inflict little neurological damage without continuous or heavy exposure.
As two oxidation states of mercury form salts (Hg+1 and Hg+2), mercury salts occur in both mercury(I) (or mercurous) and mercury(II) (mercuric) forms.
Mercury(II) salts are usually more toxic than their mercury(I) counterparts because their solubility in water is greater; thus, they are more readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Occurrences of mercury poisoning
The phrase mad as a hatter is likely a reference to mercury poisoning, as mercury-based compounds were once used in the manufacture of felt hats in the 18th and 19th century. (The Mad Hatter character of Alice in Wonderland was almost certainly inspired by an eccentric furniture dealer, not by a victim of mercury poisoning.)
An early scientific study of mercury poisoning was in 1923-6 by the German inorganic chemist, Alfred Stock, who himself became poisoned, together with his colleagues, by breathing mercury vapour that was being released by his laboratory equipment — diffusion pumps, float valves, and manometers — all of which contained mercury, and also from mercury that had been accidentally spilt and remained in cracks in the linoleum floor covering. He published a number of papers on mercury poisoning, founded a committee in Berlin to study cases of possible mercury poisoning, and introduced the term micromercurialism.[25]
The term Hunter-Russell syndrome derives from a study of mercury poisoning among workers in a seed packing factory in England in the late 1930s who breathed methylmercury that was being used as a seed disinfectant and preservative.[26]
From 1932 to 1968 methyl mercury was released into the sea around the city of Minamata in Kumamoto prefecture, Japan. The toxin bioaccumulated in fish, which when eaten by the local population caused the largest case of mercury poisoning known. Minamata disease caused the deaths of over 1000 people and permanently disabled a great many more.
Widespread mercury poisoning occurred in rural Iraq in 1971-1972, when grain treated with a methyl mercury-based fungicide that was intended for planting only was used by the rural population to make bread, causing at least 6530 cases of mercury poisoning and at least 459 deaths (see Basra poison grain disaster).[27]
On August 14, 1996, Karen Wetterhahn, a chemistry professor working at Dartmouth College, spilled a small amount of dimethylmercury on her latex glove. She began experiencing the symptoms of mercury poisoning five months later and, despite aggressive chelation therapy, died a few months later from brain malfunction due to mercury intoxication.[18][19]
In April of 2000, Alan Chmurny attempted to kill a former employee, Marta Bradley, by pouring mercury into the ventilation system of her car.[28]
The first emperor of unified China, Qin Shi Huang Di, was driven insane and killed by mercury pills intended to give him eternal life.
Acrodynia epidemic
Acrodynia is a type of mercury poisoning in children characterized by pain and pink discoloration of the hands and feet. The word is derived from the Greek, where ακρος means high (as in:in an extremity) and οδυνη means pain. As such, it might be (erroneously) used to indicate that a patient has pain in the hands or feet. However, acrodynia is a disease rather than a symptom.[2] Also known as pink disease, erythredema, Selter's disease, or Swift-Feer disease, acrodynia was relatively commonplace amongst children in the first half of the 20th century.[29] Initially, the cause of the acrodynia epidemic among infants and young children was unknown; however, mercury poisoning, primarily from calomel in teething powders, began to be widely accepted as its cause in the 1950s and 60s.[29] The prevalence of acrodynia decreased greatly after calomel was excluded from most teething powders in 1954.[29]
Medical procedures
Because elemental mercury often passes through the GI tract without being absorbed, it was used medically for various purposes until the dangers of mercury poisoning became known. For example, elemental mercury was used to mechanically clear intestinal obstructions (due to its great weight and fluidity), and it was a key ingredient in various medicines throughout history, such as blue mass. The toxic effects often were either not noticed at all, or so subtle or generic that they were attributed to other causes and were not recognized as poisoning caused by mercury. While the usage of mercury in medicine has declined, mercury-containing compounds are still used medically in vaccines and dental amalgam, both of which have been the subject of controversy regarding their potential for mercury poisoning.
Thanks for the reply White Shark, but it seems to me that you're "picking up pennies in front of the steamroller" here.
First, you're quoting Merck toxilogical studies, and Merck is one of the main PERPETRATORS of vaccine fraud!
Did you watch the IOMT.org film where the MERE PROXIMITY of mercury to brain tissue, "denuded" them like flowers dying on high speed film?
If you went to a doctor with a stomach ache, and told him, "Doc, I'm having trouble keeping food down, with my regular daily prescription of ARSENIC. Can you help me with the pain?", he'd probably write you out a prescription for a STRAIT JACKET!...lol
Yet, isn't that EXACTLY what we're trying to do, when we attempt to cure ourselves of various medical problems, while simultaneously allowing mercury to outgas from our metal fillings, 24 hours/day? (and mercury IS a lot more toxic than arsenic!)
I don't want to get side tracked here, so let's just stipulate that mercury is ...what?.... "pretty darn toxic"? Can you live with that assessment? :)
Chlorella is a very effective binder of metals, not a chelator, and cilantro actually pulls metals from the brain.
Zeolite (in powder form, NOT liquid) is also a very effective binder.
I am using both chlorella and zeolite with the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement to help with binding fungal die off, viral die off and whatever else is being eliminated.
Douie
John,
My understanding is that there is a difference between a chelator and a binder, and these words have been erroneously used interchangeably.
The metals will attach to the chelator (like DMPS, EDTA, and DMSA) and be dumped in the gut for excretion, but if they are not bound up in the gut with something like chlorella, they can easily be re-absorbed into the system. Chlorella has a "mop up" function in the gut.
There is not much evidence pointing to chlorella actually chelating.
