RE Cold , mercury question for Mrs Barley and anyone?

[Guest guest]

Based on the info that you posted about mercury's effects in the

body,do you think chelation is effective in removing it?Also a

question for the TCM posters: How would TCM specifically address the

issue of mercury thats being stored in the body due to dental fillings

etc?I recently learned from my TCM doc that toxins can be stored in

different " layers " of the body with some being stored deep inside of

our systems.This was in reference to why acupuncture and cupping are

effective treatments for sciatica and low back.Very interesting.

While I have read many stories and articles from a good many sources

and spoken with various people dirctly, so as not to be swayed

unnecessarily, there are some that would lead me to believe that

chelation, if done oh-so-carefully and properly does indeed " work " .

It

is different for everyone.

 

Because some people are exposed to mercury and don't have the obvious

neuneurological (and other) symptoms, I guess it is because they

just

have a stronger constitution. Other people have one mercury filling

installed and they break down completely.

 

In any case, there are several different types of chelation, but from

what I am told, I would sure avoid the intra-venous kind, unless the

doctor is a real specialist in this. The " side effects " (really the

main effects) are horrendous. Chelation of any kind (various orally-

taken

substances or the foot detox patch) must be accompanied by

appropriate

diet and supplementation. If it was me I would put myself under the

care of a doctor with much experience in chelation of any type.
