I was reading one of Linda's posts about uk chelation when it reminded me of something that I had forgotten about. Not unusual LOL but when I was taken into a NHS hospital last year with a convulsion, there was a young doctor on the ward and Keith explained to him about Mercury fillings and the poitive test I'd had at a private hospital. I was offered IV chelation then, no problem, except I refused because I had'nt had my amalgams removed. This same NHS hospital does 24 hour urine tests for amalgam fillings, but they don't ask people to chelate, so these are pretty useless. But the point I'm getting at is why do they have this chelation available in the hospital? What else could they use it for and as I said, they were perfectly willing to let me have it! Its a puzzle Tracy x
