nice to have you here

THANKS

do you have any experience with mercury poisoning?

i think this is the underlying cause of my problems

OKAY. HOW WERE YOU EXPOSED TO MERCURY? MY MASTERS DEGREE WAS IN TOXICOLOGY, SO

I HAVE SOME KNOWLEGDE IN THAT AREA.

On the basis of toxicologic characteristics, there are THREE forms of mercury:

ELEMENTAL

INORGANIC

ORGANIC

As much as one-third of atmospheric mercury maybe due to industrial release of

organic or inorganic forms. Regardless of source, both organic and inorganic

forms of mercury may undergo environmental transformation. Metallic mercury may

be oxidized to inorganic divalent mercury, particularly in the presence of

organic material such as in aquatic environment. Divalent inorganic mercury may,

in turn, be reduced to metallic mercury when conditions are appropriate.

Metallic or elemental mercury volatilizes to mercuty vapor at ambient

temperature, and most human exposure is by inhalation. Mercury vapor readily

diffuses across the alveolar membrane and is lipid soluble, so that it has

affinity for red blood cells and central nervous system.

Inorganic mercury salts may be divalent(mercuric) or monovalent(mercurous).

KIDNEYS contain the greatest concentration of mercury following exposure to

inorganic salts of mercury and mercury vapor, whereas organic mercury has a

greater affinity for the BRAIN, particularly the posterior cortex.

Within cells, mercury may bind to a variety of enzyme systems including those

of microsomes and mitochondria, producing nonspecific cell injury or cell

death.It has a particular affinity for ligands containing sulhydryl groups. In

the liver cells, methyl mercury forms soluble complexes with cysteine and

glutathione, which are secreted in bile and reabsorbed from the gastrointestinal

tract.

Inhalation of mercury vapor may produce an acute, corrosive bronchitis and

interstitial pneumonitis and, if not fatal, may be associated with symptoms of

central nervous system effects such as tremor or increased excitability.

In recent years, it has been claimed that mercury (vapor) released from dental

amalgam may cause various health effects. Increase in mercury in urine and

accumulation is several organs including the central nervous system and kidneys,

from the release from amalgam have been reported (son et al., 1988:

Langworth et al., 1988).

Mercurous compounds of mercury are less corrosive and less toxic than mercuric

salts, presumably because they are less soluble.

Most of what is known about the clinical signs and symtoms and neuropathology

of high-level or overt methyl mercury toxicity has been learned from studies of

epidemics in Japan and Iraq (WHO, 1976; Berlin, 1986), from studies of

populations eating mercury-contaminated fish (Skerfving, 1974).

My method of treatment will be herbal metal chelation, detox of liver, kidneys

and digestive system, far infrared sauna for excretion through sweat glands.

I hope this helps
