O/T, safe to take Lugol's iodine with fillings still in place? Andy?

[Guest guest]

I still have four amalgam fillings that won't be removed for several

years (until I'm done having children). I would like to start taking

Lugol's iodine for mild hypothroidism, but I can't figure out if it's

safe to take while I still have mercury in my mouth. I searched the

archives and read that it is not a chelator, but I keep reading that

some things (like cilantro) that aren't chelators do displace mercury,

or something like that, so I'm not sure if it's safe or not. Can

someone clarify this for me, and also explain what exactly things like

cilantro and NAC do to mecury in the body if they don't chelate it?

Thanks
