A member asked:

Why is it egg white and milk can be an antidote to heavy metal poisoning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acute phase: These are loaded with protein and can precipitate the metal cations. Don't rely on them and if there's any question, get with the poison control people. They are useless in chronic poisoning.
