Yeah, the heavy metals thing. Always a little bit confusing. It's been mentioned so many times by alternative medical types as a big factor in PD - how many people know somebody who has actually gotten him/herself significantly better through blood chelation? I know the glutathione IV works for some.

I didn't have my ayurvedic medicines tested, but my Indian doctor assured me that it wasn't an issue when I asked him about it (for whatever that response is worth...not saying he's right or wrong....) I had my mercury fillings removed and my blood appropriately chelated after that, and can't say that it helped much at the time...but again, by that time I was on significant meds which I am convinced makes it hard to evaluate anything because it can so undermine any other adjustment.
