See book keywords and concepts |  According to Rudolph Ballentine, MD, mercury toxicity is being reported with increasing frequency by physicians as well as dentists. The two main contributing factors seem to be a diet high in fish and the common use of silver-mercury amalgams for dental work. Fish consumption alone may be enough to cause mercury toxicity. An article by the Canadian Medical Association in 1976 reported that Indians in Northern Canada, who ate more than a pound of fish per day, had symptoms of mercury poisoning. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Result: Widespread mercury toxicity in children, resulting in a sharp increase in neurological conditions, including behavioral disorders, infertility and autism. Ignorant, obstinate dentists continue to use mercury fillings today, and the American Dental Association remains in full support of this extremely dangerous heavy metal that results in the mass poisoning of children.
Your kid have a cold? It's probably because their tonsils need to be removed! Tonsils have no biological function anyway, doctors claimed. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Boyd Haley, the former chairman of the chemistry department of the University of Kentucky, and the world's leading expert on mercury toxicity, ran tests and said, "The magnesium oil is safe. There is a small amount of mercury in it but there is a several fold excess of selenium also. The selenium would react with the mercury, forming a mercury/selenium compound (HgSe), which is one of the most stable and least toxic of all mercury compounds." Dr. Haley found 30 times more selenium than mercury, "which would bind the mercury and render it much, much less toxic. | | The detoxifying effect of selenium on mercury toxicity is due to a formation of a biologically inactive complex containing the elements in an equimolar ratio. The complex is unable to pass biological barriers, placenta and choroid plexus and is stored in the liver and the spleen, even in the brain in a non toxic form. Mercury binds with selenium and selenium is needed for glutathione production in the cells. Mercury-selenium-glutathione interactions are crucial to anyone who wants to understand the consequences of mercury exposure and how to combat or detoxify from its poisonous effects. |

An article by the Canadian Medical Association in 1976 reported that Indians in Northern Canada, who ate more than a pound of fish per day, had symptoms of mercury poisoning. A 1985 study in West Germany of 136 people who regularly consumed fish from the Elbe River found a correlation between the blood levels of both mercury and pesticides and the amount of fish eaten. |

See book keywords and concepts | | It is important to remember that mercury toxicity is a retention toxicity that builds up during years of exposure. The toxicity of a singular level of mercury is greatly increased by current or subsequent, low exposures to lead or other toxic heavy metals.

See book keywords and concepts |  I anticipate that over the next several years we will hear more and more about mercury toxicity and how it too can cause significant damage to the brain. I would encourage everyone, but especially those with children, to avoid getting mercury amalgam fillings in their teeth. If you ask your dentist about possible alternatives to these mercury amalgams, he does have much safer options. (Don't run out and have all of your mercury fillings removed, though. If it is not done properly, it may cause more harm than if you just leave them alone. |
Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac.
See book keywords and concepts |  One of the symptoms of mercury toxicity is disturbed sleep.
Copper-lined pipes in plumbing systems can be another source of toxicity. A greenish brown ring in the tub, sink, or toilet can indicate that your water is contaminated with copper, which is toxic at high levels. According to Paul C. Eck, Ph.D., and Larry Wilson, MS, of the Eck Institute of Applied Nutrition and Bioenergetics, many of the most prevalent metabolic dysfunctions of our time are in some way related to a copper imbalance and/ or copper toxicity. |
Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It is interesting to note that the idea of a variable sensitivity to mercury toxicity was known as far back as 1888. Dr. W.R. Gowers, one of the great men of neurology, noted in his textbook in 1900 on diseases of the nervous system, A Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System, under the chapter on mercury poisoning: "The weakly suffer more readily than the strong, and individual differences in susceptibility vary greatly."
Another way mercury can damage cells is by interfering with protein synthesis, the building of proteins for the cell. |

See book keywords and concepts |  We also have the problem of mercury toxicity from ingesting fish.
There are also many problems associated with eating flesh and animal produce such as milk and eggs. For example, Dr. Saenz, a pediatrician, reported in the February 1980 edition of the Puerto Rico Medical Association Journal that an epidemic of premature sexual development was connected to the eating of hormone-rich animal products. The segment of the population primarily affected were female children ages one and up. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In his view, people in general looked upon mercury toxicity as being as serious as asbestos and DDT poisoning, more serious than lead paint and auto emissions, and slightly less serious than PCBs and uranium mining.
Dr Vimy also reported the results of his studies with sheep to the Washington State Dental Disciplinary Board Public Hearing. He placed mercury amalgams in sheep and studied what happened to the mercury. Within 30 days, substantial amounts of mercury were taken into their tissues. The same occurred with monkeys. | | More dentists are familiar with mercury toxicity and have developed methods for helping determine whether there is a problem. They take special precautions not to expose themselves to mercury. Even their associations, who stoutly defend the use of mercury, advise their members not to be exposed to it. They think it is all right to maintain continuous exposure in one's mouth but not in their offices. Even undertakers now have to be careful. So many bodies being cremated contain mercury, there is a great danger that the mercury vapor will injure them while they are working. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Some of the greatest quackery in the world right now takes place in dentists' offices; and dentists strongly deny the problems associated with mercury toxicity and mercury fillings. Of course, I don't mean all dentists, some dentists are slowly coming around to this issue. In fact, these selected dentists are leading the change; they are pioneering dentists, just as those in the world of medicine that are trying to change conventional medicine. |

See book keywords and concepts | | What causes the brain to be especially vulnerable to mercury toxicity is its total dependence on critical energy supplies, and its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are known to be susceptible to oxidation injury (lipid peroxidation). The brain utilizes energy at an enormously high rate, consuming 25 percent of all of the blood's glucose and 20 percent of all the oxygen, even though it comprises only 2 percent of the body's weight. Even in the deepest of comas, the brain's metabolic rate is slowed by only 50 percent. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Even lower levels may produce symptoms that most physicians would not even connect to mercury toxicity. Symptoms such as frequent colds, joint pains, autoimmune disorders, and subtle neurological dysfunction, such as an inability to think clearly, poor memory, headaches, and emotional disorders, may never be linked to real but undiagnosed metal toxicity. We do know, as I will show, that even very low levels of mercury can interrupt numerous cellular functions, especially in brain cells (neurons). | | Extrapolating from this study, we see that when we are dealing with very large numbers of people, for example 200 million in the United States alone, this puts over sixty million people at a very high risk of mercury toxicity. Within this number are a significant percentage of people with low levels of antioxidant defenses and other metabolic derangements that place them at even higher risk. | | By 1982 over 1,773 residents of the area were suffering from severe mercury toxicity, and 456 of these people eventually died. A follow-up study found that in truth over five thousand people were suffering from mercury-related neurological diseases. Most of the survivors continue to suffer severe neurological effects of the exposure.
In 1971 Iraqi officials reported that 6,530 people were severely damaged by, and 459 people died from, ingesting corn treated with a mercurial fungicide. Later, more accurate figures indicated that 50,000 people were poisoned and over 5,000 died. | | First let us explore the history of mercury toxicity.
Where Does Mercury Come From?
Mercury occurs naturally across the earth due to degassing of the earth's crust. This constant release of the earth's supply of mercury into lakes, streams, and oceans releases anywhere from 25,000-150,000 tons per year; however, most human contact with this deadly toxin comes from man-made sources such as dental amalgam, beauty creams, mirrors, medications, vaccinations, coal-burning, and other industrial uses. Fossil fuels such as coal may contain as much as 1 ppm of mercury. |

If mercury levels are elevated, indicating mercury toxicity, another chelator, EDTA, is used to chelate the mercury from the system. EDTA, ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid, is a weak acid used to remove heavy metals and it is considered beneficial in reversing atherosclerosis. |
