increasing evidence on Mercury poisoning and decided to buy a magnetic bath treatment that draws it out of your body.
That is bullshít, pure and simple, as any test of the black scum in the water would show.
There is no evidence linking autism and mercury, and plenty of circumstances where mercury exposure has been examined in excruciating detail. It does not stop charlatans selling chelating treatments, magnetic (mercury is not magnetic, by the way) cures and magical foot-detoxifying pads.
There's evidence showing mercury in the blood of autistics compared to NT's. But yes nothing solid.
There is no evidence against it, it is not in detail. The tests have only tested, urine, stool, hair and blood.
All of those are waste products (with the exception of blood which is extremely unreliable for mercury poisoning as a google search will explain to you).
They've only tested waste products, that's the reason they're unreliable.
The autism Mercury poisoning is different, i'll explain.
The body has a natural chelater, it's called glutathione, That's what flushes metals out of our body, normal mercury poisoning is exposure to an overwhelming amount and the glutathione eventually flushes it out.
In autistics they can't flush it out, so the body has to store it away concealed in fat cells. Which is why it doesn't show up in any of these studys. There's no glutathione to flush it into the hair, urine, stool, sweat, skin. So all these naive studies are bogus (unless you can find me a large scale study where there were fat/tissue biopsies (still not 100% but reliable), there's no proof against it).
Now what does prove this glutathione deficient type of Mercury poisoning is this:
The widely proven fact that autistics are glutathione deficient. If you are deficient you can't flush out metals, nothing else in the body can flush heavy metals out.
So using typical science what does that tell you?
