Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Al, Thank you! I'm sure it was Rich V. who wrote about glutathione depletion and mercury issues. His poster presentation has helped me to better understand the relationship between the two, and how glutathione works in the cell. It also was Rich who (via Carol) brought us Dr. Cheney's latest thinking. I know I'm not alone in being grateful for his input. What really got me about Dr. Cheney's report was that he learned that there weren't sufficient biding sites in the heart tissue to hold 22,000 times more mercury than the controls, such that the mercury had to be brought to the heart tissue by " something else. " Here's the quote: " A professor at the University of Kentucky whom I greatly admire analyzed that data. He determined that in normal heart muscle there are not enough mercury-binding sites to have that much mercury. He said the only way you could load that much mercury into the heart muscle was if something else carried it in. There may be a cardiotropic pathogen and/or an immune-system dysregulation associated with a cardiotropic pathogen that is required to load that much mercury into the heart. [Cardio: heart; tropic: affinity for, or influencing] " What could this cardiotropic pathogen be? By the way, I'll hazard a guess that the University of Kentucky professor Dr. Cheney refers to is Boyd Haley, PhD. He helps maintian an extensive website regarding mercury in its various forms.
