Some people can take high doses of chelators without much symptoms, yet do seem to be toxic based on reported symptoms. I haven't heard of many, but at least a few. I guess for them, even 10 or 20 rounds may not settle the question very well. If they don't meet the counting rules, then I guess they either have to go on faith, try the fractionated urine porphyrins, or at least re-assess symptoms and signs (Andy's checklist in AI) to decide if the mercury toxic diagnosis really does fit. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
