Gee TK, I don't know about this. Maybe chARCOAL DOESN'T ACTUALLY MOP UP

MERCURY BUT IT SURE HAS HAD SOME pretty amazing results for me.

The first time it saved my rear is several years ago before I knew much

about Hg and I took 100 mg of DMSA in one dose and got incredibly ill.

When I finally got the charcoal from the ER folks (I went to ER at 2:00

AM as there was none available in stores at that hour) I felt almost

immediate relief, even though I was still sick for another 12 hours or

so, it was very much better after the charcoal.

Then about 22 months ago before I first started chelating and was

having those incredible attacks, taking charcoal would help a lot and

got me through them. Once I finally started taking DMSA, then those

attacks started lessening in severity and subsiding, almost quitting

altogether over the months. Still, when they were the worst, taking

some charcoal would help significantly, as would would keeping my head

on ice.

So whether the charcoal is actually binding to the mercury or not, I

can not scientifically say, but from my experiences with it, it

definitely feels like it does. Perhaps it would mostly lessen any other

toxic overload to the point that the mercury did not bother me as

much...that is possible, but I have to insist that it has really helped

me in the past.

Just my two bits.

By the way, why would charcoal bind to all sorts of toxins and not Hg?

That makes perfect sense, and just that much was enough to help me a

lot when I was in the thick of it last year.
