I've heard bad reports from it. There are people very angry at Hal Huggins who continually recommended EDTA chelation to patients, some of whom got very very badly ill by it. So I can see there is differing reports.

I don't know what I think. I've not tried it. I think as with anything, depends on the person, their own biochemistry and what works for them.

There is so much contradictions now to do with mercury. chelation, replacement dental materials, that seriously you could go nuts trying to figure it out. (I probably already am).

But, one thing is sure, mercury does need to somehow be stirred up in order to get it into the blood stream to be excreted. The idea is to minimise that so it does not bounce around too much and cause more damage on its way out. So that's the idea of fnding a way of chelating that keeps mercury as tame as possible in movement.

but again, some people seem to be able to do all manner of things, and their body doesn't need too much help to nudge it into excreting mercury. other people just have a terrible time and go bezerk anytime it's stirred up.

I woudl say the stirring up of mercury woudl definitely take a couple of weeks to begin to subside. IF it's bad enough, it could be longer, depending on how much was stirred up and how long it remains in that state, before it gets reabsorbed again. Also, it's hard to tell where it goes once that happens.

mercury is disgusting stuff, it is so hard to detox, yet can cause so much misery not only as it poisons, but as it gets moved around. It's like you feel kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
