Re: WAPF/coconut oil/mercury was: Cod Liver Oil news

[Guest guest]

Actually yes. I went to a talk on Friday afternoon by Dr. Galen Knight. He

said at one point that monolaurin in coconut oil can detoxify (not exactly

sure if he used that word) mercury. I haven't verified it but I thought

that was interesting. Later that evening, I went to hear Dr. Bev Teter talk

about transfats. I guess they are not equally evil. She mentioned almost

off handedly at the very end of her talk, that an MD friend of hers, had a

husband with early onset Alzheimers. He was pretty severe. Anyway, his MD

wife started giving him coconut oil and he improved tremendously in a

matter of weeks. Dr. Teter speculated that it had something to do with

coconut oil regulating sugar metabolism in the brain or something like

that. I wondered if mercury was involved. The next day Ross gave her

talk. At one point she said that there is no longer any doubt that mercury

is implicated in Alzheimers disease. AHA!!! It certainly lends credence to

the idea that fats chelate out heavy metals!

I plan to email these people and let them know how each of their talks were

connected!

It was a terrific conference. I encourage anyone to go if they have the

chance. Next year it will be in the Chicago area. You can also purchase

recordings of the talks on line. There is a link from the WAPF website.

Thanks so much Irene for sharing! This is great news... makes sense to me.

Sometimes, I've

been weary of all of these fancy chelate programs. Mercury has been with us for

thousands

of years (in our waters, etc.). I find it more believable that God created good

fats to naturally

chelate mercury out of our bodies in a gentle way >. I do feel for those that

have had

intense mercury exposure but hopefully the good fats will do the trick for them.

Well actually mercury in the quantities we are dealing with now has only

been around for a few hundred years. Pretty much since the industrial

revolution. Coal burning is a major source for polluting our waters. And

starting sometime a few hundred years back mercury was used in medication

and in making those top hats. (Where mad as a hatter came from). People who

wore those hats might have even absorbed it through the skin. But I am also

leery of chelation and I've heard too many stories of people being made

worse because of it. If fats will do it then that is the way to go.
