As I posted elsewhere, there is an American acupuncture doctor who seems to think that a psychological approach may be in order in addition to any purely physical methods used: the older child, I guess that's teenagers & up? - would write down everything that's eating them, then burn that paper in a symbolic act of dumping all the poison. I guess this doctor thinks that how you get to have mercury lodged in your body is just as important as the mere fact of having it there. You know, the whole mind-body approach. I have no particular opinions on whether this works or not. But he seems to have a lot of experience in helping people with heavy metals.

As to young children who have mother's mercury, and who aren't able to write things down, I don't know. My son benefited greatly from ProAlgen for various problems that may have been caused by my fillings, though I have not had huge concerns myself...maybe it is true that the baby sucks up the mother's poison. God, what a ghastly world this is for those of us who don't know we are making mistakes!

In any event, a child whose mother has fillings would be deficient in all kinds of nutrients, it seems to me, as you alluded to. So, you could have the child tested, I suppose, and supplement accordingly.
