The download takes a few minutes, but it will make you a believer
of how toxic this substance is.
We know that people with mercury fillings give off gas mercury vapor
for the entire life of the filling. These vapors enter the palate,
tonsils, thyroid gland, and, via the nerves in the mouth, travel
to the brain.
In the brain, they damage neurons and pathologically cannot be distinguished
from Alzheimer's disease.
Mercury is not only in our mouths, but also in most fish, and in our
air and water. It is essential that all people get evaluated for
this because it is a treatable condition. In addition to causing brain
damage, mercury can interfere with the function of every organ in the
body.
It has even been reported to cause heart failure by poisoning heart
cells. Thyroid disease is very commonly due to mercury in that gland.
Fatigue, fibromyalgia, memory loss, headaches, insomnia are other
symptoms one can have.
Once mercury enters the body it gets bound to tissues. In order to
measure how much you have, a challenge test must be done to see
how much comes out. The challenges can be done by taking an oral
or Intra Venous chelator to pull it away from the tissue and out
into the stool or urine.
