 Nobel Prize Worthy For Sure Mar 22, 2010
I'm not going to go into great detail here since so many other gracious readers have already done so. What I will say is that this book has truly saved my life. Seriously. After 15 years of misdiagnoses,one great doctor suggested amalgam illness, I then found this gem of a book, and now I am finally on the road to recovering from this nightmare. This book is the be all and end all of mercury poisoning recovery and, at times, the author's razor sharp wit will give you a much needed laugh. Yes, this book is science heavy, but the tone is not. Andy has penned this in such a way that is very personal and very comforting. To call Andy Cutler a hero is not excessive in the least.

If you want to feel BETTER while SICK get the book now! Nov 12, 2009
MR. CUTLER I WANT TO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR WRITING SUCH AN INFORMATIVE HELPFUL LIFE SAVING BOOK. For one year I saw (8) doctors who couldn't help me with diagnosis OR treatment or even alleviate the pains UNTIL I READ YOUR BOOK where you have written about what "to do/take while poisoned". The supplements and protocols you recommended were the only things in that entire year that helped me to feel well enough to go outside or drive my car. Just very sincerely, thank you Doctor, I am so grateful.

 A Great Way But Not The Only Way May 21, 2009
This is a controversial topic, but clearly one that is being examined more closely in public policy (cue: recent dubious study by CDC denying the link between mercury in vaccines and autism) as well as a touchy subject in the medical community for over 200 years.
Talk to 9/10 dentists and they will tell you the FDA has approved the use of mercury in amalgams and there is no danger of mercury vapor being released once the fillings are in place. I think the more telling fact is that in 1840, the American Society of Dental Surgeons denounced the use of amalgams and were disbanded in 1856 for refusing to use mercury. A group of 26 dentists formed the American Dental Association in 1859 and pledged the opposite (why you ask? amalgams were cheaper, faster, and easier to place than gold materials). Since then, the ADA has threatened to revoke the license of any dentist claiming to be a mercury-free dentist, so don't accuse your dentist of ignorance. I personally find it almost comical that although the FDA has warned of mercury of farmed salmon and other fish, it has yet to issue a red flag on dental amalgams, which can potentially be 100x more dangerous than the small amount of methylmercury coming from fish.
Ultimately, all this is only relevant when it affects your health. It might be true that even when mercury vapors are released into your bloodstream, they're pretty benign; that is, until you have a major health problem. Once mercury and viruses are in cahoot, they form a chicken-and-egg, symbiotic relationship. Recently, a lab test confirmed that my body is producing abnormally high antibodies to mercury and fibrillarin, a target in mercury-induced autoimmunity.
This book is targeted toward the "once it happens to you" constituency, not the advocacy crowd. It has sound recommendations and what not to do when chelating heavy metals from your body. It's written by a PhD in chemistry and his empirical study of both pharmaceutical and nutritional intervention shines through in his writing. He draws clear and concise graphs depicting where mercury can interfere in hormone production. Since heavy metal chelation is such a raw topic lacking clinical trials, I wouldn't rely on any single resource when dealing with mercury removal. Take bits and pieces from multiple authors/physicians and find the lowest common denominator.
My big takeaway from this book: 1) make sure your dentist uses proper procedure to remove fillings as improper methods can ironically worsen your situation. 2) Low dose oral DMPS or DMSA >>> intravenous challenges. 3) address adrenal, thyroid, immunodeficiency, and detoxification impairment to make these next few months bearable.

Mercury and Autism May 04, 2009
I have purchased a lot of books about biomedical treatments for Autism. They all have their place and I am better equipped to help my son recover having read them. That said, there is one book which stands above the rest. Amalgam illness is my go to book when I want to stop reading theory and start doing something. We are now safely and effectively Chelating our son. Andy gives you the tools to address other coexisting medical issues caused by the Mercury, while your fixing the root cause and getting the mercury out. I have used other doctor led chelation methods with no gains, within weeks of beginning Andy's protocol we were seeing results. If I could only keep one book it would be this one.

Hard to find information Jan 19, 2009
Dr. Cutler is to be applauded for writing a book that few others would be qualified to do.
I am interested in chelating my ASD symptomatic kids and chose to look at his protocal rather than the DAN! protocol because theirs is SO expensive (basically IV chelation). But, in reading this book, I realized how FAR SAFER Dr. Cutler method is than the DAN! protocol and am greatful to have come across it.
I recommend the Yahoo groups 'frequent-dose-chelation' and 'Autism-Mercury' to help with any questions you may have along the way. It includes past posts of Dr. Cutler which answers many specific questions.
My great thanks to Dr. Cutler.
