Re: Mercury and Other Questions - Help Needed!

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry that you feel so bad Ruby. Don't take the steroids or you may

(probably will) get worse over time. Kelp contains iodine and too much iodine is

as bad as too little.

I was tested for mercury by a homeopathic doctor. I also had a hair mineral

analysis. Mercury did not show up in my hair but my homeopathic test showed

mercury, lot's of it. It's in my body somewhere, my guess is it's primarily in

my thyroid and other glands.

I hope you feel better.

whether iodine or mercury in the kelp triggered my autoimmune condition. Since

it was triggered, life has completely changed. One medical issue after another

to the point I feel I am incapacitated to work.

i am on hydrocortisone right now, 40mg a day.

i saw on the internet that i cannot take both HC and LDN at the same time

because they cancel out each other.

Dr. brownstein says it is a myth that taking too much iodine (within reason)

is bad for you.

He prescribes 50mg.-100mg. a day. Japanese get about 12mg. a day.

I am not saying it didnt trigger your hashimoto but I will say that

autoimmune disorders

can be caused by mercury and as you know seaweed could be contaminated and

even if it was clean, the iodine stirs up mercury in your system and if your

body cant excrete it, you could get a autoimmune disorder like MS and hashi

etc.

So you are on the right path.

I dont trust hair analysis, the best way is to do a provoked urine test,

however

it is way too risky to get damaged during the test. They usually give you

dmps

and that can give you horrible side effects. so I dont recommend it.

Probably everybody has mercury in them. and the way I think is the safest

way

to get mercury out is chlorella, and since chlorella is a food and takes out

other

toxins like pesticides and bpa and all kinds of things, everybody probably

should be taking it. So I just assumed I had mercury rather than test it

and after I had my mercury fillings taken out, I did low and slow amounts

of chlorella to tolerance. Dr. Cheney says if you take it to tolerance then

you can pull all the mercury out of your body in 2 years.

do you have mercury fillings ?

Hair analysis is not my ideal test for mercury but Andy Cutler has counting

rules with hair analysis that can determine levels of mercury (so he says). The

hair analysis shows what is coming out through your hair. Mercury won't show up

but other elements that do determine the possibility of mercury, according to

Cutler. I had the analysis to determine my metabolic type and the condition of

my thyroid.

High levels of iodine/iodide are good until your body is replete. After that it

is a trace mineral and should be taken in smaller amounts. I think that if you

are exposed to bromine/bromide or any other toxic element regularly then you may

need more iodine than other people who are not in your situation. There is no

one-size-fits all dosage.

A high protein diet is good to reduce mercury toxicity according to Dr. Dietrich

Klinghardt. It's also good for my metabolic type. There is more than one way to

chelate. I doubt that there is a timeline for mercury removal. It may take

longer for some than for others. There are too many factors involved.
