The present investigation was performed to determine the effect of 14-day oral administration of meso-2.3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) on the urinary mercury excretion and the potential reduction of blood and plasma mercury concentrations, and also to relate these effects to possible decrease of symptoms, allegedly associated with amalgam fillings. Twenty subjects, relating their symptoms to mercury from amalgam fillings, received 20 mg/kg DMSA or placebo for 14 days. Their symptoms and mood states were recorded during the study and at a check-up 3 months later. Interpretation was based on intra-individual differences. DMSA-treatment resulted in an average increase in urinary mercury excretion by 65% and a decrease in blood mercury levels of 0.04 microgram/L/day. At the check-up after 3 months, urinary mercury excretion had returned to the pre-treatment level. No treatment effect of DMSA was apparent on subjective symptoms and mood state. One statistically significant treatment effect was noted-a decrease in fatigue-inertia in the DMSA-group-but there was no demonstrable correlation with increased urinary excretion or decreased blood concentration of mercury. Three subjects showed hypersensitive reactions, probably DMSA-specific, at the end of the treatment period. This placebo-controlled study provides no scientific support for diagnostic or therapeutic administration of DMSA for symptoms allegedly associated with chronic mercury exposition from dental amalgam fillings.

"There has been a recent epidemic of autism in the US53 54 and many investigators believe that this may be partially related to the increased exposure infants have had to mercury through the preservative thimerosal that was included in nearly all vaccines until recently.55"

klinghardt protocol - mercury not just from vaccines, from mothers amalgams to child, environment (california gets pollution from japan and china, burning coal puts mercury into the air..chelation can also be done with chorella and cilantro

as well as dmsa and recommends chorella, activated charcoal or other to mobilise it from the gut:
5. DMSA challenge

DMSA is behaving more unpredictably and chaotically and crosses the blood brain barrier sooner. Whatever is mobilized with DMSA, we cannot conclude with reasonable accuracy where the Hg came from. All we can say is, that it is inthere somewhere. If the patient had a fish meal within 72 hours, the yield will be high. If the patient is chronically constipated, this time can be as long as 3 weeks. DMSA is believed to be superior to DMPS in its ability to mobilize organic mercury (Hg ++), especially methylmercury. A clinical tip: if a patient does not do well with DMSA, increase the dose or continue giving it, until the detox symptoms subside.

6. D-Penicillamine

D-Pen is excellent for mobilizing Hg intracellularly. High values on the D-Pen challenge suggest high intracellular Hg levels.

7. Selective mobilization of Hg from the gut

3 effective agents are available:

* chlorella pyreneidosa
* chitin and chitosan
* activated charcoal
--------------------------
this has been done since the 1950's but can not be patented into an expensive drug so will be called snake oil and voodoo by news paid by big pharma.

mercury/thimerisol still in some vaccines:

Thank you so much for your information,Jeannine.

Well if mercury in teeth fillings can be traced to autism as well as vaccinations, then why not.
