Mercury

[Guest guest]

I was tested for mercury about 5 years ago, and had really high levels -- > 99% level. I had removed my mercury fillings about 5 years before. I was eating fish a couple times a week, so I stopped the fish and tried a few things with chelation. Eventually, I decided just to focus on eliminating the intake of mercury and allowing the body to detox at its own timing. I take 200 mcg of selenium. Maybe I should be taking more?

I was interested in Chantal's post about iodine removing mercury. I have only seen casual references to this by Abraham and Brownstein. Does anyone have more information on this??? E.g., info on the research and how much mercury is being removed, the mechanism by which iodine might be affecting the mercury, etc.

I think Chantal's point is a good one. If you are moving mercury out of the cells, it is important how this is done to avoid having further problems created with mercury damage. Ideally, the mercury should have a good "escort" out of the body so that it doesn't just redamage other cells. What actually happens to the mercury when we take extra iodine???
