Mercury chelation and detoxification efficiency

[Guest guest]

Dear Stephen,

 

From the literature that I have read, due to the corrosion resulting from oral

chemical reactions, and the tremendous force upon the teeth from chewing,

within a few short years as much as 50% of the mercury has left the fillings,

and is deposited in major organs, such as the brain, liver and kidneys, slowly

poisoning them and causing toxicity, reactivity, chronic immune dysfunction and

morbidity. Even after amalgams are replaced, toxicity from old fillings

insidiously continues to poison those organs into which it has settled. Mercury

is extremely difficult to get rid of, and does not leave those organs unless it

is chelated out. That is the process that Chana went through, and after a year

of chelation therapy, and periodic checks, the levels of mercury had been

significantly dropped. The ability of the body to naturally detox, through the

liver particularly, along with using nutrients to augment the process does

indeed depend on the efficiency of the eliminative organs, but, IMO, mercury is

a unique poison, as its method of toxification

through amalgam leakage places a such a burdon that the body is unable to

detox from no matter how efficient or healthy.

 

Respectfully,

 

Yehuda

Hi Yehuda,

I made no comment on dysbiosis (but it is an inevitable consequence of

heavy metal poisoning) but i did comment `the poor detoxer bit`. that was

because 1 year after amalgams were out she still had a high mercury burden. I

work a lot with the mercury issue and I reckon that average detox time is 6 to 9

months. If I got a mercury reading after 1 year of detoxing I would assume

either a very poor detoxer or a problem with the dentistry and some amlagam was

still in situ. I was going to bow out of this because it is clear to me that you

have explored that avenue very thorough. Anyway i answered your question.

 

I wish you and yours well.
