... sad that a Mercury Fillings/Mercury Poisoning forum has become an advertisement for cigarette smoking.

I have no relation to tobacco companies or tobacco related businesses. My sole connection to tobacco is as a user who was curious enough to check the scientific literature, beyond what media and paid experts are telling me about. To my own greatest astonishment, I found that scientific research, sponsored by the antismoking interests themselves, has unambiguously demonstrated numerous health benefits of tobacco smoking along with their biochemical mechanisms, while failing to demonstrate any harm from it after half a century of intense search for any such harm.

All they are showing to this day as the "harm" are thousands of replicas of the same statistical association between the smoking and various diseases they already had in 1950s (when this scam was hatched), which is no different than statistical association between the use of aspirin and headaches or between the use of sunblocks (or sunglasses) and sunburns. Tobacco smoking is protective and therapeutic against the very diseases or their causes or side-effects that they blame it for.

Further, finding of the glutathione (and numerous other antioxidant & scavenger enzymes) and neutrophil upregulation in smokers, as well as of numerous biochemical pathways via which tobacco smoke is neuro-protective (e.g. MAOI, nicotinic receptors, acetylcholine, CoQ10, vascularization) explained to me why I smoked -- it is the most potent medicine against mercury toxicity and subsequent detox support there is, bar none. No natural remedy or pharmaceutical comes even close.

Hence, it is something that other victims of mercury toxicity ought to know. You are welcome to study the scientific materials at the links provided, or just try it (with understanding that it is an exercise, a la aerobics for you immune, endocrine, detox and nervous systems, hence you need the right supplements, right pacing and warmup, right mindset,...) and find out for yourself. I don't make cent, whether you do it or not. Just as you can take DMSA or DMPS the wrong and the right way, you can go both ways with smoking. I share these findings and experiences as everyone else does here for other supplements and techniques they tried themselves and found to work well. It simply feels good to do good.
