It is impossible to avoid exposure to toxic heavy metals in today’s world.
This book explains how to diagnose mercury poisoning and shows how to safely remove mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxic metals from your body.
The case histories in this book demonstrate how exposure to these heavy metals can lead to allergies, anxiety, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, colitis, autism, ADHD, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s limit for mercury is an intake of 7 micrograms per day for a 70 kg person. If you have dental amalgams (these silver colored fillings are actually 50% mercury) the World Health Organization estimates you are exposed to 4 to 21 micrograms per day. Over decades this adds up to hundreds of milligrams of the element that toxicologists consider the most toxic non-radioactive element.
If you eat 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of tuna, you take in another 35 micrograms, or 5 times the daily limit for the average adult.
We are also exposed to mercury through some vaccines and pharmaceutical products. At home there are mercury containing CFL light bulbs and fructose syrup.
At the same time, the environment is contaminated with several hundred times the level of lead that our pre-industrial ancestors were exposed to. In animal experiments, mercury increased the toxicity of lead by a factor of 14.
It is no wonder that so many people are experiencing chronic health problems. Perhaps mercury or another heavy metal is the source of your health problems.

Let's face it, we are exposed to myriad toxins in our modern environment, but mercury is one of the most dangerous. It magnifies the effects of other toxins as well due to "synergistic toxicity" as the author explains.
Clearly written, well documented, and easy to read -- David Hammond has provided an important resource and guidepost for those of us dealing with Mercury exposure. As compelling as I found each chapter, I still had to put the book down frequently to consider the implications, and deal with my own upset regarding the exposures and effects I have endured.
David Hammond does go into aluminum use that I liked. Aluminum is pervasive in our society from cooking items to medicines and vaccines.
I stopped using anti-antiperspirants several years ago. The FDA requires them to contain aluminum. Why take a chance?
I guess I was expecting more personal experience than I have so far found in the book. Maybe that comes later?
I am up to Chapter 19 so far.
I had a hard fall just over a year ago. I am sure the supplements I have been taking saved me from at least a broken wrist. As it is, it took the better part of this year to get back to almost full function of that hand. Please ignore those who tell us that supplements only create expensive urine.

David Hammond's excellent, scrupulously researched, comprehensive, well-written and accessible book addresses the Cutler Protocol in detail, and every other topic you need to be aware of when getting on to the steep learning curve that mercury poisoning engenders. It's academically rigorous and profuse in citations.
Find out exactly what mercury does, how and why it's become such a problem, how to get tested for it, how to treat it and more.
I suggest reading this and Daniel Forsyth's first-person account The Mercury Diaries before heading deeper into the subject. Although they take very different approaches, they are both excellent primers that will get you properly acquainted with the story of mercury's malign spread from industry and medicine through the environment. It will also educate you about the illness(es) mercury causes and tell you what you need to do to make yourself better.
NB: I'm seven months into self-treatment (Cutler Protocol) and while there's some way to go yet I am seeing gains.
UPDATE: Nearly two years now since starting the Cutler Protocol. Major improvements, unquestionably.
Research the subject before you do anything more and do not let a dentist drill those fillings without them taking appropriate precautions.
The book is clear and well written, presenting lots of diagnostic information, research, symptoms descriptions & case histories, and instructions on how to implement Dr Andrew Cutler's chelation protocol, widely recognised as safest and most effective chelation protocol available. Whilst anyone deciding to embark on chelation will probably want to get hold of a copy of Cutler's 'Amalgam Illness' for more in-depth detail, this book provides more than enough information to facilitate diagnosis and get started. It also provides a good overview of the topics discussed in 'Amalgam Illness'; which can be quite heavy going for those unfamiliar with the condition.
