Mercury Toxicity
Toxicity caused by excessive mercury exposure is now becoming recognized as a widespread environmental problem and is continuing to attract a great deal of public attention. A National Academy of Sciences study published in July, 2001 estimates that up to 60, 000 children born in the USA each year may be affected by mercury toxicity, and in March of 2002 an environmental group had charged the FDA of failing to warn the public of the dangers of mercury contamination from eating tuna, which contain high levels of mercury. World Health Organization reports that the amount of mercury-absorbed daily by the average human body is 0.3 micrograms (mcg) from water and air, 2.61 mcg from fish, and 17 mcg from dental amalgams (silver fillings). Research points out that mercury vapor is 80% absorbed into the blood, and that in animal studies, mercury vapor goes directly from the nose to the brain, following nasal nerve pathways. Amalgam fillings release mercury for as long as 70 years. Someone with 8 amalgams could release 120 mcg into the saliva per day. The maximum allowable by the EPA is less than 0.1 mcg per kilogram of body weight per day, to be absorbed into the human body. Dentists have 4 times as much of a body burden of mercury as an average non-dentist. Dental workers show 50-300% more mercury in hair and fingernails than the average population.4 Mercury Toxicity from vaccinations containing Thimerosal: This is one of the most debated issues on mercury toxicity. It is one that is steadily gaining public awareness ever since the link between autism and vaccinations became known. A little known fact before public awareness campaigns started is the fact that the preservative, thimerosal usually added to vaccines contain mercury. In 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) called for the removal of mercury from vaccines. Paradoxically, the CDC still continues to recommend the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. Symptoms: Adrenal gland dysfunction, anorexia, birth defects, brain damage, depression, dermatitis, dizziness, fatigue, hearing loss, hyperactivity, insomnia, kidney damage, memory loss, migraines, mood swings, nervousness, pain in limbs, skin rashes, schizophrenia, thyroid dysfunction, peripheral vision loss. Sources: Air pollution, dental silver "amalgam" fillings, freshwater fish (bass & trout), fungicides, insecticides, laxatives, paints, pesticides, saltwater fish (tuna & swordfish), shellfish, tap and well water, thermometers, vaccines. Kelatox: Only $199 for 30 suppositories.
