Mercury Toxicity

November 23, 1998

My recollection is that mercury-silver amalgams are banned in Sweden because

of the toxic effects. By the way, the large and comprehensive book on

alternative health has a very interesting section on mercury toxicity - it

literally mimics just about every known disease from the flu to heart

problems. A lot of what is discussed in this group could very well be mercury

toxicity. Anyone who needs to get the amalgams out, however, should find a

special mercury free dentist who knows how to remove the fillings. In

addition, it may be necessary to have a course of IV therapy specific to

mercury removal.

Thanks Saul. Is it ok to use this even before you have the amalgams

out? Deb

March 6, 2000

Dear Debbie,

Yes, cilantro can be used daily, and will pull mercury out of storage in

tissues and you will safely excrete it.

It won't touch it in your amalgams, because those are not 'inside' you in

the same way, apparently.

I have a recipe somewhere about taking it with olive oil, I think, and maybe

lemon juice. I will hunt for it.

Best of Health!

Thanks, Debbie, for the mercury & radiation articles. Here is recent info on Congressional hearings on the subject of mercury. THe web site is a dentist who removes mercury filings & has been fighting the mercury battle in dentistry for years. He has a newsletter you can subscribe to if interested.

Kay Heizer

http://www.nutrident.com

On July 18th, 2000, the Government Reform Committee of the U.S. House of

Representatives conducted a hearing entitled " Mercury in Medicine - Are We Taking Unnecessary Risks? " Although the major thrust of the committee has been the use of mercury(thimersol) in vaccines, an introduction to the subject of dental mercury was heard. Dr. Aproshian, Ph.D. of the U. of Arizona presented documentation that dental amalgam is the largest contributor of mercury to the body burden of non-occupationally exposed individuals.The Chairman of the Committee, Republican Dan Burton of Indiana, made several important points in an Opening Statement. Rep. Burton stated: " We al know that mercury is a toxic substance. Long term exposure to low levels of mercury has been linked to mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and central nervous system disorders. We assume that the FDA would protect our children from exposure to any level of mercury drugs. But that hasn't been the case. The FDA recently acknowledged that in the first six months of life children get more mercury than is considered safe by the EPA..........My grandson received vaccines for nine different diseases in one day. He may have been exposed to 62.5 micrograms of mercury in one day through his vaccines (preservatives). According to his weight, the maximum safe level of mercury he should be exposed to in one day is 1.51 micrograms. The is 42 times the amount at which harm can caused.......The FDA still allows mercury-containing vaccines to remain on the market " . Chairman Burton went on to say: " We have also been contacted by many individuals who have concerns about mercury in dental amalgams. While this is not the focus of today's hearing, it certainly warrants discussion as well. " Chairman Burton concluded: " How is it that mercury is not safe for food additives and Over the Counter drug products, but it is safe in our vaccines and dental amalgams? "

California Dental Board Instructs Dentists to Warn Patients on Amalgam

Mercury. In a landmark action, the Dental Board of California, dated June 30th, 2000, sent a strong message to the dentists of California. California dentists were instructed that they should: Discuss with their patients the different restorative materials. They are to inform their patients of the percentage of mercury in amalgam (approximately 50%) and other substances used in dental offices. Discuss with their patients potential sensitivity, allergic or adverse reactions to mercury, including reproductive toxicity.

National Academy of Sciences Reports on Methyl Mercury

A panel of scientist for the National Academy of Sciences has released its report on methyl mercury, culminating their 18 month review. The panel endorsed strict safety levels adopted by the EPA of 0.1 micrograms of mercury per kilogram of body weight per day. This standard amounts to 7.0 micrograms for a 154 pound adult and much less for children. For a 77 pound child, the maximum safe exposure would be 3.5 micrograms per day. Even organized dentistry acknowledges a daily mercury exposure level of 1-5 micrograms per day in a patient with an average number of amalgam fillings. Mercury toxicologists have concluded that amalgam fillings contribute an average of 10 micrograms of mercury per day, which is above EPA standard.

It should be noted that Health Canada and the British Dental Association both warn against placing amalgams in pregnant women and small children. Health Canada limits the number of amalgams that can be placed in adults and children. The American Dental Association still considers amalgams a safe material to use. It is still the primary filling material of choice for the majority of dentists.

Mercury Toxicity

This chapter is also taken from Dr. Gutman's book

MERCURY TOXICITY

The heavy metal mercury is an insidious but potent toxin that warrants special attention. It is all to common in our environment and is fraught with controversy, most notably when the topic of mercury amalgams(dental fillings) comes up. I have seen usually staid and sober medical and dental professionals coming close to blows over this issure at educational conventions. However, one of the tenets of the Hipporcratic oath is, " Above all, do no harm. " There certainly is sufficient clinical evidence to force a much closer look at the use of this important neurotoxin in clinical applications.

Mercuric substances can be either organic or inorganic. Inorganic forms include pure or elemental mercury (quicksilver), or the salts of mercury (mercuric chloride, mercuric oxide and others). These can be inhaled or ingested. High-risk occupations include dentistry, manufacture of batteries, explosives and jewelry, photographic development and taxidermy. Organic mercury comes in many forms, methyl-mercury being the most common- and also highly toxic. Poisoning by this form usually follows accidental ingestion. Farm workers, embalmers and producers of pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, bactericides, drugs and preservatives are all at risk.

Although primarily a neurotoxin (nerve poison), mercury can cause a broad range of problems, including kidney failure, severe nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, oral lesions (stomatitis), lung inflammation (pneumonitis) and rashes. It affects the nervous system with symptoms as subtle as emotional instability, anxiety, memory loss, and lethargy. The expression " Mad as a hatter " has an interesting basis in fact. Hat-makers in the nineteenth century used elemental mercury to form and weigh down their hats, and often paid a high neurological price of repeatedly handling this toxin. Serious mercury poisoning includes tingling or loss of sensation in the extremities, poor coordination, tremors, slurred speech and tunnel vision. These symptoms can progress to paralysis, coma and death.

Traditional treatment of mercury toxicity requires binding of the metal to larger organic molecules, a process called chelation. Chelating agents may be administered orally (e.g. D-penicillamine), intramuscularly (e.g.Dimercaprol, BAL) or intravenously. Once chelated, the mercury complex is eliminated through normal excretion of urine or stool.

It has been long known that glutathione is a primary cellular defense against mercury toxicity. It starts out by effectively quenching the formation of the free radicals. Even more critical is its ability to bind directly to mercuric compounds, enabling the cell to expel and the body to excrete them.

A recent article from the International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health measured the impact of mercury exposure on glutathione levels. Forty-two workers from a chloralkali factory exposed to elemental mercury were compared to seventy-five non-exposed workers from a lime production plant. As expected, blood levels of mercury were higher in mercury workers, but so were levels of lipid peroxidation. Evidently, the detoxifying effects of glutathione peroxidase were significantly decreased.

In the laboratory, many studies have shown how glutathione protects cells from toxicity. By raising GSH levels, a team of toxicologists from the University of Arizona was able to decrease mercury-induced kidney damage. An Argentinean team had equal success using NAC to preserve renal (kidney) function. Similar positive results were found using glutathione monoester, selenium, and other agents to enhance glutathione levels.

Experimentation on the liver, nerve and small intestine and other tissues, and even in fetal development verify that mercury drains the glutathione system, that decreased gluathione levels lead to increased toxic damage by mercury, and that elevating or sustaining glutathione significantly protects cells against mercury poisoning.Get HUGE info at http://www.cures for cancer.ws, and post your own links there.

Hi all.....I've been living a nightmare. Several months ago I wrote

you saying I feel my brain had been captured by aliens. Well, what is

was/is is mercury toxicity after having had five mercury fillings

removed. The dentist did not adequately prepare me and I had a blind

spot thinking I was draining well enough. The misinformation out

there is unbelievable. Chlorella has mercury in it. There is only on

e German company that produces mercury free chlorella and it's made in

glass tubes (E-Lyte). Although I've been working with homeopath Dr.

S. Yurkovsky, I finally eeked out Dr. Kane, fatty acid

specialist in Haverford Penna. She has me on a high fat diet and am

taking all sorts of fatty acids to melt away the mercury molecules.

Please take care, my friends, when undergoing mercury removal. It is

awful stuff. IT went right to my brain and is of course, now

systemic. I've had horrible insomnia, depression, despair, strange

sensations in the head and am electrically sensitive. Can't go under

any flourescent lights (the whole world is flourescent. They give off

mercury vapors). Closed my acunpuncture practice and have been

housebound and extremely sensitive to sounds. Some people's voices

just make me so irritated.

Please keep me in your prayers and if you know of any really good

suggestions, I'm open. ALpha lipoic acid is a no no and so is

I'm going to do a piece on all the misinformation out there. They say

things happen for a reason -- Dr. Kane got into mercury after she gave

birth to her son and he started having strokes (the dentist drilled a

hole into her gum and stuffed it with mercury).

Well, we are living in very toxic times. The thought of us walking

Hi is,

I have found a source of Clorella that is mercury-free. It is manufactured by Wild Rose in Canada. A product called Metal-Free (homeopathic) is the most potent and effective means I have found that will pass through the blood-brain barrier to eliminate mercury residues. One also needs a homeopathic drainage remedy to take it out of the body. Metal-Free is not cheap, but it does the job. Available from Biotics Research in Texas, 1-800-231-5777. I would be interested to see the research that indicates fatty acids will remove mercury from the brain.

is,

I can commisurate with the problems you've gone through. I see the situation you went through very commonly in patients who come to me after the same experience. They go to any dentist to have their mercury amalgams out with no preparation and as a result their mercury levels markedly rise with the consequences you enumerated. If one wants their amalgams out, they need to see a dentist who is trained in this procedure.

Unfortunately, most dentists are not aware of the consequences of their procedures. They still believe that mercury is safe in your teeth. They are also not aware of the tooth/accupuncture meridian association. SO CAVEAT EMPTOR when dealing with dentists who are not trained!!!

Hi is,

you might like to check into Dr. Youngs pH balancing information at www.innerlightinc.com/balanceph

or at one of his books, e.g.

The pH miracle - Dr. Young, AOL publications.

Alkalizing is supporting detox and might help to bring a number of your issues in balance again.

All the best,

Werner

June 10, 2003

alexis,

i know exactly, what you are going thru.....

check out the homepage www.royalkadin.com

clear is a wonderful formula to assist in detoxifying.

also try: www.purehealthsystems.com

nanocolloidal detox factor works quite efficiently.

ask azizah clayton, what nutrients are needed for the body to detox.

and then: alkalize! alkalize! alkalize!

the detox foot pads also work during the time, when the body organs are not

strong enough to do the detox work.

good luck!
