Mercury Detoxification

I Got the Mercury out of my Mouth . . . Now how do I get it out of my Body?

Mercury a very nasty and tricky little substance.  Our personal exposure risk depends upon our lifestyle and, unfortunately, our dental history.  Mercury is so toxic that just a little bit of it will kill you.  Due to genetic and acquired conditions, some people are more susceptible to mercury exposure that others, however  there is no safe or harmless level of exposure . . . even one atom of mercury will cause some kind of damage to your body.

Because of its extreme toxicity, the body has two only choices when dealing with mercury-get rid of it or store it.   Unfortunately, most of us are not very good at eliminating mercury.  Much of it ends up being stored in the organs, tissues and cells of our body. Because it's very high affinity for fat, a lot of the mercury stored in our body ends up in our brain and nervous system . . . did you know that your brain is up to 80% fat?

Many children are being born with large amounts of mercury already in their system.  Because mercury is so fat soluble, it easily passes through the placental barrier and the blood-brain barrier.  This means that pregnant women with who have mercury filled teeth or who eat mercury laden fish pass mercury to their babies in large amounts. 

Over time, we accumulate enough mercury in our brain and other organs for symptoms of mercury toxicity to develop. Mercury contributes to over 100 known health issues, including:

If you have so called "silver fillings" in your teeth, mercury vapor is leaking from the fillings and escaping into your bloodstream 24/7.  Anything you do to warm up the fillings increases the amount of mercury released - drinking coffee or tea, chewing food . . . even brushing your teeth! 

The biggest exposure to mercury vapor from any source occurs  

when amalgam fillings are removed without following mercury-safe protocols . . . grinding on dental  fillings can increase your mercury exposure risk by a factor of 10,000.

Few dentists follow mercury-safe dental protocols . . . these protocols are not taught in dental school and they don't carry the American Dental Association's seal of approval, so it's just on their radar screen.  This is something I'm working very hard to change.  My goal is to see at least one dentist in every community trained to provide mercury-safe dentistry.  You can help me achieve this goal by subscribing to my Blog (click here) and following my Facebook page (click here).

Over the course of my career in medicine and dentistry, I've come to appreciate exposure to mercury as one of the top five reasons that people get sick.  Sadly, mercury has become a pervasive part of our environment . . . it's in our food, our water, our soil and our teeth.  Your total body burden of mercury is related to the following factors:

1. Have you have ever had any mercury amalgam fillings.   If so, how many?
2. Has your mother ever had amalgam fillings?  If so, how many?
3. If you or your mother ever had amalgam fillings replaced, were mercury-safe protocols used?
4. How much fish do you eat?  What kinds of fish do you eat?
5. How many mercury containing vaccines you've had over your lifetime.
6. How well did you choose your parents . . . certain genetic factors limit your ability to eliminate mercury through natural detoxification methods.

Removing the mercury stored in your body can be a complex process and is the topic of much debate.  Many detox protocols have serious problems:

• Some are very expensive
• Most are very complex
• Some produce serious side-effects
• Some are quite invasive . . . requiring prescription medications, injections or intravenous therapy
• Some don't actually eliminate the mercury from your body--they simply shift the mercury from one tissue compartment to another . . . the mercury just changes addresses

I believe a mercury elimination program is foundational to good health for anyone who has ever had mercury fillings, and especially for anyone who has had mercury fillings replaced without mercury-safe protocols.

The mercury elimination program I have developed is very gentle, virtually free of side effects, easy to follow, economical, non-invasive and is proven to eliminate mercury from your body.
