> James,
What have you read. If you have read what I have read, it would seem obvious that mercury can cause many problems with the body, including the brain.
I just took a DMPS challenge test. DMPS is one of the provacating agents used to "test" mercury levels in the urine. I agree, its not a perfect test. At any rate, the test made me feel better for about 6 hours. Nothing pronounced, I just was feeling better. The next morning and day was horrendous. Extreme agiation, head pain, suicidal thinking, ect. Generally, it is accepted that if mercury is not effecting the central nervous system, then a provocation test like a DMPS challenge will not create a feeling of wellness followed by a worsening of symptoms.
In my case, the DMPS came in, stirred some mercury up, and then dumped again, creating the crash.
I'm not trying to argue here, but I just speak from my own experience.
