Aha. Now I get it. Thanks so much Bex for making that clear to me. It really is amazing just how much there is to learn about mercury poisoning and chelating etc. I guess that due to it's widespread detriment on the body it causes numerous ailments. I also find it amazing that when I was studying natural medicine (finished about 5 years ago) they didn't even touch upon mercury as a subject. I vaguely recall them mentioning something about chelation therapy for people with acute heavy metal poisoning. I don't recall mercury being singled out.

I have written down those vitamins and minerals that you mentioned on the inside cover of my Amalgam Illness book. By the way, I did end up using that Vivagen website that you posted to purchase my DMSA as I found out recently that my doctor who specialises in mercury detoxing etc does not sell DMSA. Go figure? I guess it must be a legislation thing. I didn't really feel like discussing it with him at the time.
