That is accepted, it is just the dose that is in question.

Journal of Industrial (?) Medicine?
What sort of dose is involved?
: ABSTRACT: "Long term exposure to low doses of mercury or lead
: can induce neurasthenic symptoms with slight cognitive deficits,
: lability, fatigue, decreased stress tolerance, and decreased
: simultaneous capacity.
: After exposure to higher concentrations permanent neuropsychological
: deficits can be seen.
Was the present paper demsonstrating that for particular doses?
The present paper gives a new idea of possible
: molecular mechanisms underlying the symptoms. Impairments of astrocyte
: function are probably important, especially due to their capacity to
: regulate the ionic and amino acid concentration in the extracellular
: micromilieu, brain energy metabolism, and cell volume. Recent results
: have shown that these functions are under monoaminergic control.
: Aspects of therapy are outlined."
Is that the same therapy which is done when amalgam removal is being done?
Has anyone done the therapy without the amalgam removal? What happenes then?
I don't dispute that a few people may have more trouble with any
substance. Composite eleicitied in me a perpetual get rid of it spit it
out horror worry. Glass ionomer is nearly tolerable.
