Yes, if it is from mercury exposure it is probably that the mercury is

interfering with the normal functioning of the adrenals. When the

adrenals are stressed and can't produce enough cortisol for the

person's needs, they get overstimulated and can produce extra

testosterone as a by product. In the later stages of adrenal fatigue

(much later), they would produce less testosterone.

What else might underlie such a phenomenon? Helen

Dean is right - it wouldn't be just testosterone that is raised in the

early stages of adrenal fatigue. DHEA probably contributes too.
