SOURCES OF MERCURY

There can exist many possible sources of mercury contamination. Of all the occupational sources of mercury contamination the HAT industry is probably the most well known. The term MAD HATTER comes from the toxic effects that those who worked and molded felt hats would encounter after some time. Mental aberration and insane behavior would eventually consume those in the HAT industry as a direct result of the mercury. THE HATTER'S SHAKES is another term that would describe the tremors that would occur in mercury toxic hatters.

My experience has been that over 75% of all mercury toxic individuals receive the metal from these two sources.

Much as been written by dentists in the alternative field about the hazards of mercury fillings. I can attest that over 90% of all our patients with chronic immune deficiency are mercury toxic. Most of them score positive when tested to determine if their fillings are leaking mercury into their bodies.

ILLNESSES ASSOCIATED WITH ELEVATED MERCURY

The following data comes from my own research. This is statistical approximation based on close to one thousand patients we have had in my offices. For each condition mentioned, I will report next to it what percentage of all our patients who had that condition had elevated mercury. We will report here on a variety of conditions so as to show what conditions could possibly be rooted in mercury toxicity. PERCENT ELEVATED means how much higher it was compared to what it should be in a normal person free of excess mercury.

MERCURY'S ACTIONS IN THE BODY

It has been shown by many researchers that mercury has a profound effect on the immune system. I have discovered that mercury can be one of the most dangerous substances to the health of our T cells. T cells are a primary defender of our bodies against infections.

Mercury also seems to be able to inhibit the response of individual's cells to protect themselves against bacteria, viruses and other infections.

Mercury has been shown to store in certain areas of the body. The spleen and thyroid are the most interesting to me. When stored in the thyroid, it will directly reduce thyroid function, lowering one's metabolism and possibly causing hair loss, weight gain, poor energy, cold hands and feet and constipation. Storing in the spleen, it directly interferes with the toxic control system of the body that regulates the "fever producing mechanism".

Mercury directly interferes with red blood cell formation by blocking the effects of iron, copper and zinc in helping to form the blood cells. It also antagonizes the beneficial effects of zinc, iron and manganese in our bodies.

DETECTION OF MERCURY

The most reliable way to test for mercury accumulation is by testing one's hair. Hair testing has been used since the 1940's to detect toxic substances by forensic medicine. It has been used by veterinarians to determine the levels of both toxic and beneficial elements in livestock in order to select the best animal feed. 24-hour urine testing is very accurate providing it is done as follows: 1st collect a 24-hour sample. 2nd consume a substance which removes mercury from the body and then collect another 24 hour sample. If toxic levels of mercury exist the 2nd sample will contain more then the 1st.

ELIMINATING EXCESS MERCURY

In order to remove excess mercury, one must reinstate proper adrenal and thyroid functions. These glands help eliminate the metal by signaling both the lymph glands and the liver to remove it.

Selenium and alginate found in sea vegetables bind mercury in the intestinal tract so that it is not absorbed into the blood stream. Sulfur compounds such as those found in garlic, onions, slow cooked beans and eggs aid the liver in elimination of metals. Vitamin C, zinc, manganese, iron, molybdenum, vanadium, glutathione, super oxide dismutase all aid in the body natural pathways to eliminate the metal.

We are currently researching 2 new substances that are natural and seem to have the most potent effect in removing mercury.

LIFE AFTER MERCURY

Most patients whose mercury levels were elevated above 25% of the norm reported a very significant change in their overall health upon full removal. Many reported that their overall symptomatology cleared up completely. Most concluded that the replacement of their dental fillings with non-metallic types and the removal of the mercury from their body produced the most outstanding change in their health that they had experienced to date. I personally wish to dedicate this research to all my patients who have high mercury and who have traveled the long road to regain their health. Well done on hanging in there guys!
