There is *NO* association between Parkinson's disease and heavy metals. "Chelation therapy" is of no value in Parkinson's disease, nor, these days, of much value even in heavy-metal poisoning (lead, arsenic, thallium, mercury, etc.). Most heavy metal poisoning is now treated with kidney dialysis, as it is more effective and has less risk. "Chelation therapy" is quackery. Best, Bob *********************************** ROBERT A.
