Re: Amalgams out
That's like saying you can handle a 6-pack of beer without getting drunk but another person will be wobbly after two beers.
"I've had 12 -15 of those
Amalgam fillings in my mouth for 50 years. I have not one symptom of mercury toxicity.... I should be a bed-ridden on death's door victim, right??? THEY are selling us a bill of goods, and we're falling for it. [member #461]"
We all have different tolerances for various substances.
Furthermore some of us have been exposed to lead or other things that cause a much greater adverse effect when present along with mercury. Boyd Haley, former chair of the Chem Dept at the U of KY has done work on that subject. I'm sure his paper is available on the net. I previously quoted from it.

There are plenty of reports from people who were nearly disabled with a long list of symptoms and got their life back from doing heavy metal detox. I'm not suggesting that most people have this problem, but for a few it is hugely helpful.
R Cartland is an engineer with Master's in Physics, not the type of guy to be fooled easily. He was nearly bed ridden by chronic fatigue, etc while just in his 30's. He recovered after
Amalgam removal and detox. He reported his case--with the documentation you'd expect from an engineer--to the FDA back in 2010. He talks about it here.

Dr Mark Hyman writes in one of his books that he went to ten other doctors before someone realized heavy metals were involved his very long list of disabling symptoms. That was when he was still a fairly young doctor.

I followed the many posts of this high school Senior when I was a new member of a detox group. He was so confused, brain fogged and emotional in the beginning. I did not think he would ever recover; he seemed to be too far gone. He got much improved after a year of detox.

What if it is the child, not the mother, who has the bad detox genes? Dr A Holmes wrote about that. She had many more
Amalgam fillings than you and was still healthy enough to be a practicing doctor. Thankfully her formerly autistic son lost his label and was greatly improved after treatments including frequent dose oral chelation.

ARI surveyed 27,000 parents of autistic kids about the interventions that were helpful. Why was heavy metal detox (chelation) the BEST rated intervention?!
