INTRODUCTION
This file contains a list of hyperlinks to some informative posts by Andy Cutler.  The idea being (1) to select some of his better texts on both common and uncommon topics and (2) to index these by topic so that one can find Andy's thoughts on a given topic (at least to some degree). Obviously, to do this right would be a GIGANTIC job.  This is only a small step in that direction, a start.  Enjoy!


ONIBASU SEARCH:
In January, 2005, ONIBASU (http://onibasu.com) became available as a means to search the message archives of Autism-Mercury.  This means that it is now MUCH, MUCH easier to find posts on any given topic -- so there is less of a desperate need for "ANDY_INDEX". For help with using ONIBASU, read  http://onibasu.com/faq.html

Using ONIBASU, you can search for posts by Andy Cutler, as follows:



WHO IS ANDY CUTLER?
Andy is a chemist who determined, several years ago, that he had health problems due to mercury. He read a lot and tried a lot of things, and eventually got better. In the process he came up with very definite ideas about what is helpful and what isn't. He is fairly well known as being one (of many) people with strong opinions on the topic of mercury detox. Andy gives lots of opinions and info on the autism-mercury list, and a lot of people ask his advice.  So much so that it is useful to make an index such as this, so that people can look up Andy's opinions on various topics. Among other things, Andy is known for being outspoken, direct, and controversial.
