Right, as long as Andy Cutler is not a dentist he can yell about the virtues of DMSA all he likes. Just like you or I. As a biochemist he is also much more qualified than a dentist to discuss something like DMSA anyway.

Dentists are required to go the nutrition angle, it's not a choice they can actually make without fear of losing their license.They literally cannot recommend DMSA or DMPS. They can write you a prescription for painkillers though. if they want to treat mercury poisoning they have to study medicine to qualify as a physician. Dentists are pretty much on the bottom rung of the healing arts professions, assuming they can even heal as opposed to make someone ill that is. They are a notch or two above chiropractors, that is reality. I think they charge so much money because it's part of their con game. their prices demand respect even if their work or person fails to. I noticed that the costs of dentistry really went sky high when cosmetic dentistry became big. Now every dentist is a cosmetic dentist or a biological dentist trying to garner big bucks on specialty treatments, only a small portion of them actually have training in those specialties though. It's all about money.

My doctor sells DMSA too, but for the same price as I can get it online. His prices are quite reasonable, much better than any dentist I have visited of late. He doesn't charge above and beyond the labs for lab tests, anything.

I tried the bottled Goji, I think it is junk. Though I enjoy the claims so I bought a bush. It's just little and growing, still establishing itself.

Your doctor sounds like she is playing the dr dentist con game. I agree it is unethical what she is doing. I would look around for another. Get a board certified integrative med doctor if you really want to be happy. Where is that link I posted to that organization? It's in the website here somewhere. My doctor is one of the directors.

I know it sounds weird because it should be the other way around, but really good doctors and dentists are usually affordable. It's the cheapskate con artist type that charge the big big bucks and leave you laying in the road, from my experience.
