> Tea, thanks for sharing all the articles. Much of it is above my head so I'm wondering what you're concluding from all this. It seems to me that there is just a lot that is unknown and some things that are supposed to be helpful might actually be harmful. What to do?
JaneJane, you as always seemed to have grasped the idea. I was just putting out a warning and a suggestion to blueberry as well as to why the chelation may not have worked as effectively as expected. What to do, your guess is probably as good a s mine.
I'm hoping a lot of folk will think about all of this and add their thoughts.My thoughts ONLY...
1.seems to me we maybe should NOT be taking any extra selenium (in supplement form) anywhere near chelation
2. seems to me we don't need to add in extra selenium if we have maybe only one to 3 fillings of amalgam, maybe better to let body excrete it with aids like fibre, perhaps ALA, taurine.. but I'd need to think about this more and would like input from others on thisBTW My selenium blood levels have ALWAYS been above normal..too high, as have my mum's. We both have many amalgam fillings.
I assume, but do not know, this means the selenium in the blood tests is counting that bound with mercury?? And these tests are BEFORE selenium supplementation at all in any supplements.What concerns me is that journalist article Lar said he read about the Intuit in hospital dying when no acces to whale meat.. presumably the argument he was presenting was the lower selenium in the diet led to mercury excess from that stored in organs, That would have to assume the mercury-selenium bond breaks easily, which from my understanding is not true...so either the journalists is using his "poetic" license regarding facts( typical actually and expected), or something else is going on, or the bond does break easily when selenium (or perhaps iodine or omega3 ratio) is lowered...???
