Really? . . . I thought those people were called Lawyers! They're good at persuading people of something in the absence of evidence.


Sorry, I couldn't resist the opportunity to make a lawyer joke at the expense of the family business. lol!

Anyway, I don't know about anyone else, but after having gone through what I have, I prefer to gather my resources and information from a variety of places, including but not limited to:

1. The statues who are in search of a pedestal -- so chuffed with their own sense of self importance whilst they sit in their Ivory Towers of Academia.

2. The demi-God doctors who are "practicing" clinically.

3. The tenacious and tinkering scientists -- even if sometimes they are only performing research that might be privately funded from an entity that might present a clear conflict of interest.

4. The eager and enthusiastic alternative and complementary practitioners -- even though they might not be able to completely look at the entire picture of our complex medical problems.

5. The long-suffering souls who have experienced medical problems similar to mine and have valuable first-hand experience from being in the same trenches as me.

In my view, I think it's good to try and learn as much as possible from every source you can find. Then you collate the information, digest it, and see if it might apply to your own particular situation.

Also, after having been around the block more than a few times in my life, I've found some immutable truths. For example: Some of the dumbest people I've ever encountered were people who were Mensa Society members. And some of the brightest and smartest people I've ever known curiously would never be able to complete an application for submission to the Mensa Society, much less be accepted by that esteemed, pious, circle of brain power.

Rather than posting only contrary thoughts, jill, do you have anything that you can share with us that might help us in our quest to free ourselves of this Hell on earth that is Mercury Poisoning?
