MENTAL AND NEUROLOGICAL:
Inability to concentrate, insomnia, dizziness, migraine
and other headaches, forgetfulness, emotional instability,
irritability, unprovoked anger, fearfulness, anxiety,
nervousness, panic attacks, exaggerated response to
stimuli, electrical sensitivity, insomnia, tremors/trembling of
hands, feet, lips, eyelids, or tongue, ataxia (clumsiness),
vision problems, hearing problems and deafness, shakiness
or tremors, trembling, shivering, numbness, facial paralysis,
loss of self confidence, shyness, withdrawal, timidity, easily
embarrassed, electrical sensitivity, drowsiness, indecision,
depression, mood swings, a feeling of being disconnected,
suicidal tendencies, damages blood-brain barrier. Mercury
is considered a factor in causing Multiple Sclerosis, ALS
(a.k.a. Lou Gehrig’s disease, motor neuron disease),
Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and autism.
Mercury blocks glutamate re-uptake, makes excito-toxins
such as MSG and aspartame (a.k.a. Nutrasweet) even
more dangerous. Mercury is more neuro-toxic than lead,
cadmium and even arsenic and acts in synergy with such
other toxins.
ORAL CAVITY:
Bleeding gums, metallic taste, foul breathe, burning
sensation in the mouth, excessive salivation, ulcers in the
mouth, leukoplakia (white patches), oral lichen planus,
Bell’s palsy, gingivitis, burning sensation in the mouth or
throat, periodontal infection, oral galvanism (electrical
currents and voltages inside the mouth).
EARS:
Dizziness, ringing in the ears.
EYES:
Glaucoma, restricted or dim vision.
GASTRO-INTESTINAL:
Constipation, diarrhea, cramps, leaky gut, yeast disorders,
food sensitivities, indigestion, mal-absorption, colitis
(inflamed, bleeding colon), Crohn’s disease.
IMMUNE FUNCTION, AUTO-IMMUNE DISORDERS:
Mercury overexcites the humoral immune system (the Bcells)
even while it suppresses cellular immunity (involving
T-cells). Mercury overly activates the microglia (immune
cells) in the brain, causing more free radical damage and
release of two damaging excito-toxins, glutamate and
quinolinic acid. Weakens cellular immunity increasing
vulnerability to colds, flu, Lyme’s disease and other
infections. Bacterial, viral, fungal and mycobacterial
infections, aggressive and invasive yeast colonies and
biofilms as well as bacterial infections are more difficult to
overcome due to the suppressive effects of mercury and
the other toxic metals – tin, copper, silver, zinc, nickel,
chromium, palladium and cadmium – that are used in
dentistry. Periodontal infection is linked to the presence of
amalgam by many studies. Allergies, eczema. Illness such
as cancer, multiple sclerosis, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease),
lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, hypothyroidism,
Hashimoto’s disease, hypothyroidism, Grave’s disease,
and other auto-immune disorders.
Mercury Poisoning depletes glutathione, the main antioxidant
and detoxifier throughout the body, thus making
it harder to detoxify anything else, and making the person
more vulnerable and “chemically sensitive”.
CARDIOVASCULAR/BLOOD:
Causing red blood cells to clump or stick together, causes
abnormality in white blood cell counts (too high or too low),
sluggish lymph flaw making lymph vessels clog. Irregular
heartbeat, heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, feeble or
irregular pulse; high or irregular blood pressure; pain or
pressure in the chest, cholesterol damage and triglycerides.
Idiopathic myocarditis. Mercury will act synergistically with
other heavy metals such as cadmium (used in dentures and
root canals), lead, iron, copper, etc.
ENDOCRINE:
Mercury from amalgams easily concentrates in the
hypothalamus and the pituitary, resulting in mood disorders
and depression and disruptions of the entire endocrine
system; adrenal function adversely affect, depletion of
vitamin C in the adrenals; and the ovaries, resulting in stress
responses and infertility problems; low thyroid function
(hypothyroidism) – cold hands and feet, subnormal body
temperature, weight gain, obesity, sluggish metabolism,
slower intellect, depression, loss of libido.
Hyperthyroidism
and Grave’s disease are also possible. Fluoride also harms
thyroid function and other endocrine function.
REPRODUCTIVE:
Disorders caused by mercury include lack of sperm
mobility, toxic sperm, endometriosis (an auto-immune
disorder), PMS, infertility, miscarriages, cleft palate and
other birth defects, loss of libido (sex drive), poor sexual
performance.
