[Fwd: Is iodine a chelator of mercury?]

[Guest guest]

And according to this wikipedia page, potassium iodide (iodine) is an

anti-dote to mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic poisoning...scroll down

to the bottom of the page to see and look at the box antidotes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_iodide

So my thought is, " Was it perhaps a low amount of iodine in the thyroid

which may have lead to accumulation of these heavy metals in the firts

place??? "

Here's something interesting....potassium iodide can cure and prevent

mercury poisoning.

Louis Melsen was born at Louvain, he spent four years in Paris,

working in Dumas's laboratory. Four letters from Melsens to

Chevreul, since 1951 to 1880, are commented on. Two letters relate

to Van Helmont and common interest of the two scientists in history

of sciences. The others recall Melsens's proposal that potassium

iodide can cure and prevent lead and mercury poisoning, and

Chevreul's researches about colours seeing.
