Thanks for the 'Fast Facts" Russ. I have printed it out for memorization purposes. At the moment I am trying to educate myself about the genetics of the house cleaning apo E proteins and how they impact on excretion of mercury.

I feel that it is really important for us to educate ourselves about this topic. Due to the fact that most people think that we are nutters to be concerned about something so seemingly harmless, it is so important that we have the facts straight.

I am now working in mainstream medicine at the hospital - albeit nutrition but I am surrounded by paediatricians, academic research fellows in the fields of nutrition, paediatrics and genetics.

I am preparing myself for the day/s when I know that I am going to be confronted and bullied about the topic of mercury toxicity (especially at my workplace). One day I hope that I will not merely have to justify my position on mercury toxicity but can educate people about the dangers of it and how to overcome the effects of it with nutrition, chelation and removal protocol advice.

So glad this forum exists.
