Mercury is seriously increasing in our environment from coal burning power
plants, dentistry etc. How could you prove that mercury is not a
contributor to anyone's health problems, whether mental or physical?
Read this and realize that if treatment was free, and safe, probably
everyone on the planet deserves mercury detoxification.
What is the dental component vs. the coal burning component? The answer to
that will depend on the individual, as that is where the mercury in fish
is largely coming from.
Here is an excerpt from this great well reference article by Mark Hyman MD:
"Whether your fillings are new or old, the mercury in them is constantly
absorbed into your body. And even if you stop being exposed to that mercury,
it sticks around. It takes up to 18 years for the body to clear half of
the dose of mercury from the body. Once mercury is in the body it comes out
only VERY slowly.
In fact, people with amalgam fillings have significantly elevated blood
mercury levels, three to five times more mercury in the urine, and two to
twelve times more mercury in their tissues than those without amalgam
fillings.
However blood and urine mercury levels don't necessarily relate to the
mercury load in your body tissues or severity of clinical symptoms.
Research on sheep and monkeys with dental amalgams has shown that blood
mercury levels remained low - even though their tissue mercury levels were
raised.
Urine mercury levels aren't much better as an indicator of your total
mercury load. They mainly reflect the cumulative dose of inorganic mercury in
the kidneys and there exists only a very weak correlation with levels in
other target tissues"

Mercury: Get This Heavy-Metal Poison Out of Your Body
10 Truths and Tips about Mercury Toxicity
1.Industrial exposure to mercury is significant and mostly comes from coal
burning (220 million pounds a year) and chlor-alkali plants.
2.The main ways that humans are exposed to mercury are from contaminated
fish and dental amalgams or silver fillings.
3.Mercury can affect nearly all your organs, especially the brain, heart,
kidneys, and gut.
4.Many chronic diseases may be caused or worsened by mercury, including
neurologic disease, ADHD, autism, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and
more.
5.Some of us are genetically better adapted to detoxify mercury than
others, leading to variable effects within the population.
6.You should reduce your exposure by avoiding large ocean fish (like tuna,
swordfish, shark, and tilefish) and river fish. Eat only small wild fish.
If it fits in your pan, it is probably okay.
7.Blood tests are relatively worthless for analyzing mercury toxicity,
unless you have had a significant recent exposure or eat a lot of sushi or
tuna.
8.Hair tests only check for mercury from fish, not from fillings so they
only give you a partial picture.
9.The only way to find out your total body load of mercury is to take a
medication with sulfur molecules that binds to the mercury like fly paper.
This is called DMSA or DMPS. This test should ONLY be done by a trained
physician and involves taking one dose of this medicine, followed by a 6- or
24-hour urine collection to see how much comes out. (In my opinion, the most
reliable testing is done by Doctorsdata.com).
10.If you are toxic and sick, you may consider addressing your dental
health by seeing a biological dentist who can safely help you deal with mercury
in your mouth.
