Dr Rashid Buttar Heavy metals and other toxins have been linked to many human diseases, but determining exactly how they damage is not easy to demonstrate, that is, difficult until we look at what happens in the blood when exposed to contaminants like mercury and aluminum. Dr. Narasimham Parinandi, director of the lipidomics and lipid signaling laboratory at Ohio State University Medical Center focused their attention on the activation of an enzyme called phospholipase D, or PLD, in cells that line arteries in the lung. They exposed the cells to the inorganic, environmental and pharmaceutical forms of mercury, and observed that all three forms activated the enzyme. The activation of the enzyme involves a complex sequence of events in the cell membranes that in turn releases phosphatidic acid, which can damage cells in the vessel lining called endothelial cells. Mercury's link to heart disease can in part be traced to activation of this enzyme, which triggers a process leading to plaque buildup in blood vessel walls.1 Heavy metals can also encourage the blood to coagulate and therefore reduce the transport of oxygen. Scanning electronmicroscopy of platelets have shown that cell margins appeared irregular and wavy, with small pseudopodia-like protrusions from the surface after being exposed to mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As). Cadmium (Cd) caused loss of the general spindle shape, and the platelets assumed a round spongy appearance. All heavy metals examined effected enhanced collagen-induced aggregation.2 Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. They have a unique shapeknown as a biconcave disk. A biconcave disk is like a donut where the holedoesn’t go all the way through. The biconcave disk shape increases thesurface area of the cell which allows for a greater area for gas exchange. Heavy metals take part in activation of blood clotting and haemolysis which decrease equidistance and accelerates sedimentation of erythrocytes.3 Mercury can induce an increase of cholesterol as a risk factor of myocardial infraction and cardiovascular disease.4 Heavy metal toxicity or exposure to environmental toxins can also activate unusual production levels of soluble fibrin monomer (SFM), which is a clotting agent. Thick blood may also be caused by the presence of harmful pathogens such as fungi, viruses, bacteria, and parasites and these pathogens flourish in a heavy metal contaminated environment. These pathogens can actually activate a coagulation response in the body as a way to avoid being attacked by the body’s immune system. SFM lines the capillaries with fibrin making it impossible to transfer oxygen and nutrients to body tissues. A lack of oxygen and nutrients then creates an ideal environment for these pathogens to survive and cause illness. In Heart disease, the Blood flow can be blocked either by blood clots or byaggregated arterial plaques. For patients prone to excessive clotting orsystemic inflammation, the risk of heart attack or stroke will rise greatly. When numerous metals are present in the body, they have a “synergistic toxicity.†Dr. Boyd Haley, professor and chair of the chemistry department at the University of Kentucky, performed a study on rats and found that the mortality rate of rats exposed to a small dose of mercury or aluminum killed only 1 rat in 100. However, when the rats were exposed to both mercury and aluminum at the same time, all 100 rats died—a 100% mortality rate. 1 http://news.bio-medicine.org/medicine-news-3/Mercurys-link-to-heart-disease-begins-in-blood-vessel-walls-505-1/ 2 Journal of Environmental Pathology, Toxicology and Oncology http://www.begellhouse.com/journals/0ff459a57a4c08d0,177ba91370097b41,243158dd1cf7489c.html 3 http://www.curehunter.com/public/pubmed8030303.do 4 http://data.healthis.org/pv/200504/a05.pdf Legal Notice: The Author specifically invokes the First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and of the press without prejudice.
