Hi Jeanne,
I am sorry for my late reply! Thanks for sharing a bit of your background with the mercury poisoning. I hope you’re not still dealing with any other residual side effects. I’ve heard it can be really horrible and years back I read about chelation therapies. I’m going to look up the content you mentioned about cadmium and kidney disease. I have never heard of it before. I like the idea of using a sauna to help detox. I wish I had one. I’ll have to settle for sweating when doing yardwork. Thanks again for sharing this! I’m going to look into it!

I suffered minor kidney damage (-10 points) from DMPS IV chelation for Mercury toxicity. Mercury poisoning is pretty awful so I felt it was worth it at the time although today I would do it another way. Recently I listened to a presentation by Dr Dietrich Klinghardt who maintains that Cadmium poisoning is a key factor in the epidemic of kidney disease. It’s in auto and cigarette exhaust and electric vehicles apparently spew a lot of it. Calcium EDTA is the gold standard for removal, IV is fastest but expensive, oral is slower but affordable and effective. DMSA can also be used. The skin is often called “the third kidney” so regular sweating in a sauna can take some of the burden off the kidneys. I’ve also had success with the Kidney Coach program, offered by a Naturopath out of Australia.
