Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 > 1) Could you refresh our memories about the biochemical mechanism of > mercury exposure, which enhances, as you claim, mental acuity? Personally, I don't believe that mercury globally enhances mental acuity, but rather drives a person down the path of obsessive specialization. It stands to reason that the person often becomes quite adept at things within their limited field of interest, to the exclusion of other pursuits. " Enhanced mental acuity " is certainly not a description that places appropriate emphasis upon the negative cognitive apects of mercury poisoning. My wife and I are in the process of trading away some of my son's ability to " specialize " for increased prowess in socialization. To date, the tradeoff has been one that puts smiles on our faces. Additionally, I now feel much better about myself as a parent. To hell with " mental acuity " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
