Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Even the mainstream recognise that we should attempt to avoid ALL forms of mercury. Most will only mention fish & dental amalgams though. The health effects of mercury exposure depend on its chemical form (elemental, inorganic or organic), the route of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact), and the level of exposure. Vapour from liquid elemental mercury and methyl mercury are more easily absorbed than inorganic mercury salts and can cause more harm. Reduce exposure to all forms of mercury whenever possible. Both mercurochrome and merthiolate are no longer the antiseptic washes of choice used in hospitals or as OTC products, probably because of the mercury absorbed through the skin. The last I saw of merthiolate (thimerosal) was in a military hospital in 1983. The high level of dentist suicides has been attributed to the inhalation of mercury vapour. A few years ago there was earth-moving equipment at a local beach removing several cubic metres of material due to a minuscule amount of mercury. I wish I could remember the amount that contaminates 1cu mtr of soil. However, I found this which is a good indication of how little it takes: Abstract. There was public disclosure in 1983 that the sediment and soil in the floodplain of East Fork Poplar Creek in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, were highly contaminated with mercury. A search of available literature as well as federal and state regulations failed to provide an allowable level, guideline, standard, or criteria for mercury in soil. Therefore, an equation was developed for the calculation of an allowable concentration which considers a daily intake and various pathways of exposure, such as inhalation of ambient air and dust, ingestion of fish and other food, and ingestion of soil. The equation was solved by the best available current information; however, it can be altered as more information becomes available. The allowable concentration of mercury in soil was calculated to be 12 µg/g. This is 0.000012gm:1gm!!!! A review of available literature and contact with various state and federal agencies failed to provide a prescribed " safe " level of mercury in soil. A " safe " level of mercury is the concentration that will not be harmful to humans and will not be transformed into a form that will be harmful. From: marcitrix <marcitrix@...> Subject: Mercury Vaccinations Date: Thursday, September 25, 2008, 5:18 PM I just wanted to throw out there that there is a big difference between having mercury INJECTED versus INGESTED. Having on your body versus injected into your body. I am not an expert on this, but as with so many other ingredients in vaccines it not only has to do with the toxin but the origin of entry. The body is designed with natural detoxifiers (the liver...) when something is injected it completely bipasses this natural system. I just wanted to throw this out there that I believe there is a difference and that is why everyone who is taking cod liver oil supplements and played with the mercury from a thermometer or cleaned up one of those stupid new light bulbs isn't toxic.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Their argument is it's a different kind of mercury.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 It is a different kind of mercury...but if you ask me, ethyl mercury is extremely dangerous because it's fully synthetic! Perhaps some peoples' bodies just excrete it and it causes " no harm " but a lot of peoples' bodies will not know what to do with it and therefore it causes GREAT harm. Seriously, idiots. Besides...derive a synthetic form of a known neurotoxic, highly dangerous chemical and call it safe?

[] yeah, that was my opinion too. what part of small from toxic is still OK? I'm not willing to experiment. If that " small " amount was what caused the susceptibility of 's autism..then obviously it wasn't very " safe " was it?! [] synthetic anything.. I'm not for that.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I had a Nutrition Response Test done last week and went back for my results... The body scan showed two brain stressors: Mercury and parasites She recommended Tinture of Cilantro My question is this, as someone who is considering using iodine (for nodules) doesn't iodine detox mercury, too? Weighing my options at this point... Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Alagonza, I doubt anyone could determine whether you *needed* both iodine and cilantro for your stores of mercury. I think it's more a matter of how much detoxing can you tolerate? I have huge amounts of mercury in my body, esp. in my brain, so in addition to the Lugol's I take for all kinds of healing (125 mg. now, topically, 3-4 x/week) i am also going through 1-2 bunches of organic cilantro a week. However, I do stop the cilantro every so often as is best to do with any herb. On 1/20/2011 3:54 PM, alagonza2000 wrote: I had a Nutrition Response Test done last week and went back for my results...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Sorry... I was looking at either iodine or cilantro for the mercury... My thought was, since I would like to try iodine, that I would use that instead of the cilantro if it would lower my mercury burden... It was done through muscle testing....

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I would also like to know about this. And BTW, my hair test was super low, but my urinalysis had very elevated mercury. Hal Huggins states that if the hair test is above 1.5 ppm or *below* 0.4 ppm, it's an indicator of mercury toxicity. It's an observation he has made, and he thinks that super low levels indicate that the body is retaining mercury.( " It's All in Your Head " , pp. 89 and 101) What actually happens to the mercury when we take extra iodine??? > > Zoe > > > > I did the hair test for Mercury.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 The mercury you are excreting can't hurt you. A lot of mercury in your urine is a GOOD thing, because your detox pathways are flushing it out. (Better out than in, when it comes to mercury.) The hair test shows mercury that you were excreting in the past. (A low hair test & a high urine test MIGHT indicate a recent exposure, but the testing is really iffy, in my opinion.) This is why a really LOW value might indicate mercury toxicity; if you are suspiciously low, then you are not excreting it.The problem is that most of the tests test excreted mercury. There is no test that shows the mercury trapped in your organs -- & THAT is the mercury that is harming you. (There is a urinary porphyrin test, but that shows a marker that is related to mercury.) Most of us aren't willing to undergo a brain biopsy to see how much mercury is trapped in our brains.Dr. Brownstein has a Youtube video in which he shows a graph of a patient who excreted a lot of mercury after going on the iodine protocol, but I don't know if any long-term, systematic research has been done on this.AnneOn Jan 20, 2011, at 8:44 PM, wrote: I would also like to know about this.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 You might want to do some serious reading before you tackle this. (Although there are HUGE disagreements about chelating mercury, so the reading will make you a bit crazy.)For example, as you say, iodine can promote mercury detox. (I don't know if it does in every case. The Brownstein Youtube video on this shows test results for only one patient.)I have also seen reports that people who use 2 detox methods at the same time sometimes get intense synergistic detox -- sometimes more than they bargained for. So if you are detoxing with iodine & add another major detox regimen, it might be too much of a good thing.I have also read that cilantro should never be used for detoxing mercury without chlorella, or something else that escorts mercury out of the body. (What I have read is that cilantro stirs it up, but does not escort it out, so you need a companion supplement to do the escorting.)All in all, be very careful, & cut back immediately if you start to have bad symptoms. If mercury gets stirred up & not excreted, there can be long-term damage. Every protocol seems to work for some people, & go badly wrong for others.AnneOn Jan 20, 2011, at 3:54 PM, alagonza2000 wrote: I had a Nutrition Response Test done last week and went back for my results...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Any chance of you getting rid of those fillings. I know that people have used some chelating agents with fillings still in place without dire results, but some report problems. (In part this depends on the agent used, but people just differ.) One line of reasoning is that something like cilantro can pull mercury out of the fillings...I used chlorella while I still had fillings -- nobody told me any better -- & it helped with my gut issues without causing me any problems that I could tell. (But then, chlorella is reputed to mop up rather than pull...)But most of the stuff I have seen recommends against chelating with fillings still in place...AnneOn Jan 21, 2011, at 7:38 AM, alagonza2000 wrote: Anne- Thank you.

I did read that about chlorella with use with cilantro... Disturbed this 'practitioner' didn't tell me that.. My other concern is that I still have mercury fillings. She said using the cilantro will open up my cartoird (sp??) artery so the toxins can escape as need be... I would never use iodine and cilantro at the same time... I was just trying to use one product and I know I need iodine because of the nodules on my thyroid... Overall, I would just like to get rid of this anxiety that I have been challenged with for over a year and feel 'normal' again...
