Re: 12 POINTS on MERCURY TOXICITY

The consenses of the scientific community is that vitamin C is a chelator of mercury.

Biologic dentists use vitamin C IV drip during amalgam removal because it binds to mercury.

The University of Michigan chelation information was cited using scientific studies.  If you would like to dispute vitamin C as a chelator of mercury, please contact the University of Michigan. 

I think people ought to be able to read the study  and judge for themselves.  Hmm, I wonder who the "Center for Improvement of Human Functioning International, Inc., " is...  It is from 1994 and here it is:

Mercury excretion and intravenous ascorbic acid.

Dirks MJ, Davis DR, Cheraskin E, Jackson JA.

Center for Improvement of Human Functioning International, Inc.,
Wichita, Kansas.

We tested the hypothesis that intravenous ascorbic acid increases
urinary excretion of mercury in subjects with low mercury levels from
dental amalgam, food, and other sources. From 89 adult volunteers we
selected 28 subjects with the highest mercury excretions (2 to 14
micrograms/24 h). We administered intravenous infusions of 500 ml
lactated Ringer's solution with and without addition of 750 mg of
ascorbic acid/kg body weight, up to 60 g ascorbic acid. Average mercury
excretion during the 24 h after infusion of ascorbic acid was 4.0 +/-
0.5 micrograms (mean +/- SEM), which was not significantly more than
after infusion of Ringer's solution alone (3.7 +/- 0.5 micrograms).
Lead excretion was similarly unaffected. If ascorbic acid administered
intravenously benefits some persons with suspected adverse reactions to
mercury, the benefit in subjects similar to ours appears unrelated to
short-term enhanced excretion of mercury or lead.
