How To Tell If Mercury Toxicity Is The Cause Of Your Mysterious Symptoms

Changes in environmental mercury levels have been dramatic in recent decades; industrial exposure to mercury is significant and mostly comes from coal burning and chlor-alkali plants. The more mercury we are exposed to, the more we are likely we are to be toxic. The main ways that humans are exposed to mercury are from contaminated fish and dental amalgams or silver fillings. And while some of us are very good at detoxifying mercury and other toxins, some people have genetic variations (called polymorphisms) that make them more prone to metal toxicity. Mercury can affect nearly all your organs, especially the brain, heart, kidneys, and gut, and many chronic diseases may be caused or worsened by mercury, including neurologic disease, ADHD, autism, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and more.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss how they test for, diagnose, and treat mercury toxicity. Dr. Hyman also shares his own personal experience recovering from mercury poisoning.
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices functional medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools to Prevent and Heal from Breast Cancer explores the functional medicine approach to keeping your breasts and whole body well.

38 years ago I was pregnant with my son and had a tooth infection when I was about 1-2 months along. I knew nothing about the dangers of mercury fillings at that time because dentists ALWAYS said it was perfectly safe!!! The dentist filled my tooth with quite a bit of mercury. I remember a couple of weeks later I started spotting and rushed to the emergency room. I retained my pregnancy but when my son was born, he was born with his bladder on the outside (Bladder Exstrophy). It is a fairly rare birth defect and I had no idea why this would happen. After becoming a huge researcher for many many years, I came across medical journal articles saying that mercury placed in first trimester of pregnancy can cause neural tube defects! MERCURY IS TOXIC!!!! My son has had to pay the price of this "big lie" put out by the dental association and has had 26 surgeries to date due to his birth defect!!!!

When I was a child, my father kept a little glass aspirin bottle full of mercury in his desk drawer. Why ??? he did this with 5 small children in the house is beyond my understanding.

The most important factor in acknowledging mercury toxicity that I could learn is that when you look at the affinity of mercury to occupy Zinc gate receptor sites. I believe it was your studies or someone with the same last name that revealed this. All NMDA receptors have these zinc gates on them, and mercury will occupy them. When an individual learns all of the characteristic traits of mercury toxicity, they are identical to zinc deficiency symptoms. I do not believe this is a coincidence. Thank you for sharing and posting.

Also, when they're talking about detoxing heavy metals they're not talking about sketchy over the counter supplements, they're talking about DMPS and DMSA chelating agent drugs. Detoxification with chelating agents works and has been used by doctors for acute heavy metal toxicity for thousands of people, is safe and has even been used on children who were exposed to heavy metals. As for the "detox" supplements you're referring to, I agree, definitely do your research and know exactly what you're putting in your body.

Most people are afraid of metals and other chemicals that they don’t understand it’s exactly why understanding chemistry is important, some of my family members are so obsessed with detoxing and miracle elixirs that they ingest silver supplements, which doesn’t fix anything but silver isn’t really harmful either it’s just neutral, the only issue is that if you ingest enough you’ll eventually turn blue.

Thank you for the discussion. It would be much better for a layman to structure the points you raise and you suggest. In other words, kindly write those points on a board or on the screen.

Last mercury filling was removed, not safely over 4 yrs ago. I went to bed in good shape and woke up with pain everywhere. Started detoxing immediately and it started to work, but then I plateaued. I've tried over and over and I'm still in a lot of pain. I also had a hair analysis done about 2 years ago and found that I still had a little mercury, but I had even more aluminum. I am drinking a water high in silica because multiple doctors online have said it gently removes the aluminum. I now am thinking of getting a CT scan of my teeth because I have multiple root canals and they could be at least part of my problem. There are no Functional doctors near me, or biologic dentists but I will start checking an hour or so away in Colorado Springs.

[@gekke1252]

Look into OSR or NBMI there is a facebook group.

[@ezzybro1]

Dentists that aren't properly trained in amalgam removal will often leave amalgam under the new filling. Have a look into the Andy cutler chelation protocol and visit a smart certified dentist.

Silica breaks down the immune system. Fiji water is bad. I learned about this from Tony Panteleresco Herbs n Beadworks you tube. My car only wanted Fiji water. That Silica destroyed her immune system she came down with a huge bone cancer.

I work in a crematorium. We have a machine called an abatement system which collects mercury from the fumes given off by the cremator. It regularly spews a mixture of mercury and activated carbon into the air in our workspace. I’ve been worried about it for a while and think myself and my colleagues are all showing signs of poisoning or at least high exposure. I did bring it up but was ridiculed.

I've been struggling since 2015. I found functional doctors, paid a premium, and they were incompetent, I have seen many doctors, and 3 functional doctors, 1 of which promotes themselves as environment toxins specialist, and this person I had to push for certain tests, after an hour pf arguing I told her "I am the customer, I am paying for it , I want the tests", so she ordered the tests. When the results came in, she said they were ok. I got the tests, I researched every aspect of them and put together a response to that "specialist" I provided explanations with references, and the conclusion that I found I most certainly do have toxic metals, and so much that my body is not excreting them. So don't go thinking that the tests mentioned in this video will necessarily show toxic metals if you are toxic. There are other indicators, such as medium selenium levels in urine while high levels in Packed RBC Toxic and Essential Elements. This is because selenium has an affinity with mercury and will be bound to the mercury. There was more to my tests, much more, but I do not excrete much with dmsa etc, so the challenge test is good, but you need to know what else, because if the challenge test shows nothing, you can't assume there is nothing, you can be so bad that your body isn't able to release them. I have seen not less than 25 doctors, and I can say with absolute certainty that 100% are incompetent. Now, sure they may be able to help someone with a rash, or toenail fungus but even with these conditions, they will just attempt to treat the condition directly, instead of doing there job properly and work on root cause. I have seen a few of Marks video recently, and he seems quite good, and I would say it is likely because of his direct personal experience with toxic metals, so he is worth watching, but be aware of other indicators when no toxins show up. Supplemental glutathione is very dangerous for me, horriffic symptoms even from just 10ml liposomal for a couple of days. or just other forms of supplemental glutathione. Even avocados, mushrooms and spinach will ramp up symptoms when I eat about 150g combined each day after 4 days. Edit: Since I struggle with glutathione foods and supplements, I take daily 1g of nigella sativa seeds ground and heated in a cuppa soup , these have been researched and found to increase the natural glutathione level in the brain and body. I did try much more but wow, my symptoms went crazy. Also another is melatonin, I can only handle about 2mg a day but only for a few days, then stop.

I recently had a cavity fixed where the dentist put amalgam and left mercury that was on the good half of the tooth. Within a few days of having that tooth worked on I started having a funny taste in my mouth which I thought was metallic. Back and forth with various dentist to end up at a holistic dentist where I replaced all of the work and put in amalgam and had two other Mercury fillings removed. All done with the proper protocol for mercury removal in a holistic dentist office. I thought that would fix the problem but I find myself still having an odd taste in my mouth. I also suffer from a hiatal hernia so my doctor is saying that that is possibly the cause. I'm at a loss as I was convinced it was from my mouth that was where the issue started and I fixed what I thought was the problem and here I am still with the problem. Any thoughts on this?

[@patriciafranco7722]

Ask the holistic Dr. to check you for Candiditis. It sounds as if you have chemical allergies. The mercury has already leached into your body. I am so surprised that he didn't suggest getting tested for Candiditis or chemical allergies. Good luck....
