Re: 12 POINTS on MERCURY TOXICITY

So did you actually read the summation of the Omura study that you linked to at http://www.ithyroid.com/mercury.htm ? Here's an interesting snippet that confirms my earlier statements:

"In spite of considerable care not to inhale mercury vapor or swallow minute particles of dental Amalgam during the process of removing it by drilling, mercury entered the body of the subject. Precautions such as the use of a rubber dam and strong air suction, as well as frequent water suctioning and washing of the mouth were insufficient. Significant deposits of mercury, previously non-existent, were found in the lungs, kidneys, endocrine organs, liver, and heart with abnormal low-voltage ECGs (similar to those recorded 1-3 weeks after i.v. injection of radioisotope Thallium-201 for Cardiac SPECT) in all the limb leads and V1 (but almost normal ECGs in the precordial leads V2-V6) the day after the procedures were performed. Enhanced mercury evaporation by increased temperature and microscopic Amalgam particles created by drilling may have contributed to mercury entering the lungs and G.I. system and then the blood circulation, creating abnormal deposits of mercury in the organs named above."

Btw, chlorella is not a chelator in the sense that it is not a dithiol, which appear to be the most efficient chelation agents. Maybe it would be of benefit for some things however. Many mercury-toxic people do quite poorly on it, as it appears to stir up far more mercury than it eliminates.

Another problem is that a lot of chlorella is contaminated. I would like to see some solid third-party testing of the several brands of chlorella that are claimed to be grown in fresh water. Unlike Nordic Naturals and Maine Coast Sea Vegetables, I don't believe any of these companies continually tests their products for heavy metals.

As for NDF, here is some information on people's mostly negative accounts:
