There is evidence that chlorella binds to metals. Yes. What’smissing is evidence as to how to safely use it. I’ve read reportsfrom adults who have suffered greatly–i.e. become more mercury toxic–because of chlorella. I would never use it on my son who is, amongother things, poisoned with mercury and other metals.
If you want to remove the toxic metals from your child (and if he ismercury toxic it is likely he has not excreted other metals such asantimony or aluminum properly either) do so by using a safe protocolbased on the half-life of known and safe chelators. Go to autism-mercury yahoo group. They have, IMO, the best information there foryou. I’ve been using the Andy Cutler protocol for 11 rounds with myson. He just ran up to me because “Boobah” finished and hugged me andlet me smooch his face 10 times then he looked into my eyes andsaid “fffffin” (for muffin). This would have never, ever happenedbefore I started chelating.
Chelating improperly IMO will make kids worse. Not chelating whenthey need it will leave them worse off for the rest of their lives,again, IMO. I’ve researched metal toxicity and chelation for manymonths and although I’m not the world’s expert, I’m pretty conifidentthat I’ve learned what is safe and what works. Stay away from thechlorella. Check out autism-mercury.

I have read good stories, and several really nasty stories. So if youdecide to use it, watch for negative reactions.
Most kids will do okay with lecithin, but some won’t.

The chelating kids newsgroup may have more experiences to draw upon.
