Brain Protection while chelating mercury
Notes relating to alleviating damage to the brain when mercury is mobilized.
Antioxidants for the brain
Someone asked about antioxidants for the brain:
Other brain antioxidants include all the usual antioxidant vitamins like C and E, as well as coenzyme q-10, the over the counter supplements vinpocetine and ginkgo biloba extract, and the Rx medication ergoloid mesylates (trade name hydergine). (Source: Cutler)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
-
Multiple sclerosis is caused by mercury poisoning in some people, and is reversible:
I have a couple of reports from people who got their MS into remission (normalization of brain MRI, dissapearance of symptoms) by mercury detox but can have it re-induced by getting a flu shot - presumably from the thimerosal. (Source: Cutler)

Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT)
-
Some kids do badly with HBOT, and it might be possible to predict which ones:
It is clearly a physical problem relating to the oxygen being toxic to them due to NOT needing it and being extra susceptible to oxidative stress. E. g. kids who are just toxic and don't have other problems generally will not do well. (Source: Cutler)
Now hopefully some of the HBOT advocates will behave ethically and provide information that allows one to tell which children will benefit and which will not, as well as how long lasting the effects are. E. g. in multiple sclerosis, HBOT is marvelous but wears off in a year or two. (Source: Cutler)
