"So we have journal papers that say lipoic acid crosses the BBB, lipoic acid
chelates mercury (and tons of other stuff), lipoic acid increases urinary
and fecal excretion of mercury, lipoic acid is effective for treating
mercury poisoning in a variety of mammals, lipoic acid prevents the
pathological brain changes characteristic of mercury poisoning, and we have
a bunch of adults who tried it and have had their neurological and centrally
mediated endocrine symptoms cured. This set of facts leads me to conclude
lipoic acid effectively chelates mercury out of the human brain. It is up to
you what you make of it.

Errr, not so fast Andy, DMPS does not cross the BBB and I had massive releif of endocrine and neurological symptoms. Remember having a discussioon with the Doc about this. Would seem that once you start to bring the levels of Hg in the body way down, the body starts to shift the Hg out of the brains (higher concentration) to the body (now lower concentration of Hg). And it seems to this all by itself.

Regards.
