MMMmercury — the new alt-med ‘cure’

Well, maybe mercury — and lead and arsenic — aren’t intended to be alt-med helps, but they’re present in many ayurvedic medicines in toxic doses.

But, that’s nothing. Mercury by itself is used as a “cure” in some ayurvedic practice, in a practice called rasa shastra.
Nearly half of the rasa shastra remedies tested had dangers levels of metals; several were 10,000 times over the U.S. safety limit.

MMMMercury — it’s what’s for Ayurvedic dinner!
