No doubt that everyone will have to make this decision for themselves. In my experience, eating fish brings on symptoms just like when I still had amalgams in, but not as severe. Using Algin, I'm able to avoid the symptoms almost completely. I will take 4 Algin about 30 minutes before dinner and 4 immediately after, then 4 more a couple hours later. It makes all the difference in the world, and I do it mainly so I can "cheat" and enjoy a piece of salmon at Carrabba's once ever month or two.

I also take Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids and Vitamin E with Selenium before and after and the next day for additional protection.

Nevertheless, mercury is toxic and potentially kills cells and causes damage in anyone who ingests it. No one is immune to mercury. I grew up in a medical family around many doctors and have learned that doctors are often very careless. They have a "it won't hurt you" or "it's no bug deal" kind of attitude when they really should err on the safe side.

Hope this helps.
