Here's an interesting article on how the UK organic food standards are being gradually weakened:- Supermarkets accused over organic foods Pressure to ease...
Just in case there is still any question about the dangers of mercury in amalgams and immunizations, here is a fascinating article refuting a New York Times...
Well, as I stated in the previous debate re mercury, the evidence from numerous studies in Europe appears to disprove the mercury-autism link, at least as...
Interesting article re obesity apparently affecting cognitive ability. Not sure if it applies to RPDers' body-size as well, as other factors might well be...
Geoffrey, you do people a disservice by pushing forward what is clearly propoganda. At least it is clear to people who actually have at least a little first...
If I didn't have first-hand experience with mercury, I might be swayed by the arguments put forth in those articles. As it is, I am 100% confident that...
Well, you are entitled to your opinion, and it's always useful to have views from all sides on any one subject, anyway, rather than just the one. I was merely...
I was referring to the claimed "cures" of autism, in general. As far as I'm aware, chelation therapy, well-known for a number of harmful side-effects, is the...
I do believe there is a lot of herbs that can do harm if used for a long time but blue and green algae or spirulina can be used for a long time. Sea grass will...
Andy Cutler's book "Amalgam Illness" has an explanation for why some mercury chelation treatments are harmful. The problem is, it is a little-understood...
Geoff. I do agree with you on a few things. One, the whole mercury in fish idea is basically more propoganda. There are far worse sources of mercury in our...
All I can say on this matter is that I sometimes visit a number of online forums which have some Aspies(ie people with Asperger's) as members and some who are...
I think the genetic factor is the missing and often overlooked piece of the puzzle here. From what the current research is telling us, a person's unique ...
You've got a good point here. Cutler points out exactly which gene predisposes people to mercury effects. I have loaned out my book so I can't tell you exactly...
Geoff, Interesting observations. Let me comment on some, from information I have gleened from Andy Cutler’s book: All I can say on this matter is that I...
The trouble with all these mercury-claims is that mercury exists naturally in the environment, quite aside from that produced by humans. If mercury were,...
Geoff, Good retort, as always. However, you made the point that mercury, bound up in organic/bioavailable compounds, is relatively benign. You are, of...
The trouble with the amalgam theory is that only extremely tiny amounts of mercury are released over time, at the microgram level. And exposure to mercury via...
Okay, we have a bit of natural uranium in our bodies. Does that mean we are immune from radiation emitted from nuclear power plants and weapons? Completely...
Geoff, why the stubborness to face reality on this issue? Of the many errors you have made in your argument, one stands out to me as being most in need of...
Geoff, The problem with threshold theory is that it makes a specious argument that all humans, because of their genetic likeness, have the same threshold for...
If tiny trace amounts of uranium in our bodies don't harm us, then tiny trace amounts of a far less toxic element, mercury, cannot harm us either. Stating, as...
There's no really plausible analogy between a food and an element in Nature. Food is a combination of complex substances taken in large amounts on most days,...
According to your own statement, the woman's measurements of mercury were at most 800 ng for any one person. ng is short for "nanogram" which is a billionth...
Actually, this will do nothing to invalidate the theory because the issue is not vaccines, per se, but rather mercury, which can enter the womb through the ...
Geoff, I used the analogy of food to simplify the discussion. Dismissing this analogy does nothing to invalidate my argument. Besides, there is no validity to...
Hi there! I have been interested in raw paleo eating for some time, but I'm afraid to take the plunge! I have numerous health issues including parasites, ...
How did we do it? Get over our conditioning? This question seems largely rhetorical. The fact that you are asking this question on this website should be ...
