I have asked myself this very often if the damage is fully reversible.

It would be very interesting to know how exactly mercury causes brain

malfunction and where it does damage.

Maybe it does more real 'physical' damage by killing brain cells etc.

or more in a sense that it blocks and interferes with a lot of

processes.

What i do know is that:

1. It causes oxidative stress.

2. It poisons the mitochondria and interferes with energy production.

What i would like to know is if in iatrogenic chronic low level

poisoning cases a significant number of brain cells and other

structures die and this causes the malfunction or if the brain cells

dont die but become less efficient because of the poisoning and this

causes the problem?

Maybe Andy can explain this? Or did he already do this?
