Mike, the other day you posted the following message re dental mercury: > >Hi all- > Many of mom's PD symptoms seem strangely similar to symptoms of heavy >metal toxicity.

The idea of removal is a scam. If you have access to the Web dial in to www.quackwatch.com which is a site that serves as a guide to health fraud. Go to the section entitled "Questionable Products and Services" and read the article called "Mercury Amalgam Scam." I urge all members of the List who have not visited this site to do so. It is fascinating. -------------------- Sid Roberts 67/dx3 [log in to unmask] Youngstown, Ohio
