Andy Cutler thinks the only agents that will effectively remove mercury have a double thiol (sulfur and hydrogen molecules), and those agents are DMSA, DMPS, and ALA. He doesn't believe EDTA is helpful for mercury toxicity, and I have read studies that say EDTA is harmful for mercury toxicity. > Lynn > > > There is also IV chelation therapy (EDTA) available for heavy metal toxicity. > > > Linn > > > > > On Jul 16, 2006, at 10:12 PM, Lynn McGaha wrote: > > > > I've asked this before with no replies.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 True. I'm not sure of Dr. Cutler's opinion about using EDTA for other heavy metals, which is why I specifically discussed it in reference to mercury. And if people have amalgam fillings, chances are they have mercury in them.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 My gut feeling is that this will have the same issue as Kelp since it is in the sea. I may be wrong but you can ask company how clean of halides and mercury it is.
