You can Google thioctic acid (lipoic's other name) or on PubMed with mercury as a second word in the keyword searches.
You will find many confusing things.
If you believe you have a mercury overload, you can get tested for it.
I cannot vouch for the information about Cutler. He remains controversial, at this time.
I think people who test high in mercury, should consult an environmental physician specialist for advice.
