See book keywords and concepts |  Certain symptoms of mercury poisoning are similar to autism, particularly defects in coordination and motor skills, visual disturbances, and immune suppression.14 In addition, many alternative medicine practitioners report significant improvement in autistic children when chelation and other detoxification therapies are employed.15
Other possible causes of autism include:
• Fetal alcohol syndrome: In a Canadian study, one in 54 children with fetal alcohol syndrome (a birth defect characterized by deficiencies in growth and mental capabilities) also had autism. | | After the fillings are removed, detoxification is performed to remove residues of mercury and other poisons from the body. mercury poisoning is recognized as a serious risk to the body, but Dr. Huggins stresses that "removing the fillings is only 5% to 10% of the solution. The rest of the picture is extremely complex, but can lead to remarkable recovery. Once you get started, however, the one thing that will destroy your recovery is improper nutrition. Eating just one food to which an individual is allergic can significantly interfere with recovery."
One of Dr. | | Other Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Additional risk factors for heart disease include genetic predisposition, hypertension, diabetes and insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, smoking, mercury poisoning, toxic foci (from gum disease, root canal teeth, extraction sites, chronic tonsillar disease), and nutritional deficiencies (especially coenzyme Q10, magnesium, and selenium).
Genetic Predisposition
A variety of genetic factors can play a role in heart disease. According to Robert A. Anderson, M.D. | | Colorado Springs, Colorado, mercury poisoning often remains undetected because patients' symptoms do not necessarily suggest mercury as the initiating cause. But the effects of mercury toxicity are potentially devastating and accumulative.
Mercury was first recognized as a poison in the 16th century, yet mercury amalgams have been used in dentistry since the 1820s. Mercury has been shown to bind to the DNA of cells and to cell membranes, causing cell distortion and inhibited cell function. | | Vitamin B12 is proving highly effective for decreasing symptoms of MS, especially when associated with mercury poisoning. Dr. Kingsley sometimes prescribes doses "as high as 12,000 meg once a week by intravenous infusion, usually with other essential nutrients. However, intramuscular doses are commonly 4,000-8,000 meg once a week, and this can continue for many weeks until the person has become mercury negative." He says that, in some cases, he has been able to stop a relapse. |
Alexander Hellemans and Brian Bunch
See book keywords and concepts |  Newton spent much of his later life trying to find the philosopher's stone, and may have gone mad from mercury poisoning caused during his experiments. Finally, Lavoisier, in the later part of the eighteenth century, put together a scientific view of chemistry that effectively wiped out the alchemical tradition that had persisted for 2000 years.
OVERVIEW
The Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution
One way to date the beginning of the Renaissance is from May 29,1453, the day the Turks captured the city of Constantinople and many Greek-speaking scholars escaped to the West. |
Richard Gerber, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Overt mercury poisoning has also become more widespread due to the concentration of mercury in certain types of fishes in our aquatic food chain. This is in addition to the widespread use of mercury amalgams in dental fillings, which may be causing subtle illness. Although minute quantities of many of these minerals existed in our environment for thousands of years, we have been able to build up a tolerance to their presence. It is only within the last century that toxic levels began to build up in the atmosphere and water supply. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  There are now countless incidents of chemical pollution causing disease in local citizens—from deadly mercury poisoning in Minimata Bay in Japan to the Love Canal in the United States where homes were built on top of a dump site. Industry, of course, claimed that this site was safe, but evidence was found of increased miscarriages, birth defects, and liver cancer in the local populations; further research revealed many carcinogenic chemicals at the site, including dioxins, probably the most toxic chemicals ever made by humans.
There are many instances where profits speak louder than people. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts |  Food intolerances, allergies, chemical exposure, and mercury poisoning may also be triggers. In MS, the infection causes the body to create misdirected immune-system cells called T cells, which secrete tumor necrosis factor (TNF). TNF, in turn, signals other immune-system cells called macrophages to attack the nerve cells. People with MS also have an abnormal blood-brain barrier that is "opened" by extremely small blood clots, which allows toxic chemicals to enter the brain.
There is no one conventional treatment for MS (see under Considerations). |
Arthur C. Upton, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | After scientists were able to document the toxic effects of mercury poisoning in felt workers, its use in felt manufacturing was banned in most nations.
Solvents
These are volatile liquid organic compounds that easily vaporize when exposed to air and dissolve other organic compounds. Solvents, such as benzene, carbon disulfide, methylene chloride, methyl »-butyl ketone, and »-hexane, to name a few, are extremely useful in many kinds of industrial processes. Cleaning fluids, glue, plastics, and gasoline are among the many products that contain solvents. |
Dr. Cass Ingram
See book keywords and concepts |  The most commonly occurring type of mercury poisoning is due to chronic exposure. This exposure is primarily in the mouth via mercury amalgam dental fillings. Research indicates that mercury fillings poison the kidneys, brain, adrenal glands, and liver. The best means of treatment is to remove the mercury load from the body. Existing fillings should be removed and additional ones should be avoided.
All mercury compounds are aggressive poisons. They act by destroying the protein of human cells, in other words, they decimate human enzyme systems. |
Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  They suffer a variety of bewildering symptoms that are typically related to mercury poisoning, ranging from depression, tiredness, and irritability to bleeding gums, swollen neck glands, burning sensations, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat, headaches, and muscle tremors. Mercury has been shown to depress the immune system.
The American Dental Association protests that mercury is stable when mixed with other metals such as silver, tin, and zinc in a filling. But mercury fillings have never been tested for safety by the FDA, and dentists themselves keep scrap amalgam in an airtight jar. | | The EPA has banned mercury from indoor latex paint because of the dangers of mercury poisoning, yet the vapor level in a patient's mouth after chewing during a typical meal is sometimes as much as ninety times higher than the vapor level in a newly painted room. Progressive dentists are therefore offering composite fillings as a safer alternative — and the white composite looks better than the old silver fillings as well!
Removing all your fillings is a drastic measure that can itself expose to you high levels of mercury. |
Andrew Chevallier
See book keywords and concepts |  The treatment was very often worse than the illness, with some patients dying and many more suffering from the long-term consequences of mercury poisoning.
Hippocrates' saying "Desperate cases need the most desperate remedies" was taken very literally, as is evident in the incredible excess of purging and bleeding that developed over the next three centuries in Europe and North America. These practices reached a peak in the "heroic" medicine of the early 19th century. Its leading proponent, Dr. |
Kenny Ausubel
See book keywords and concepts |  Before long, however, the hideous aftermath of mercury poisoning surfaced. As Griggs observed, "Since toxic substances were readily absorbed into the bloodstream through the open wounds to which they were applied, many of these apparently innocent and wonder-working cures must have left a trail of deadly side effects in the form of systemic poisoning. The new generation of progressive surgeons were probably blissfully ignorant of the damage they were doing. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Symptoms of mercury poisoning include:
• salivation
• stomatitis
• diarrhea
• neurologic signs (trembling, dysarthria, ataxia, irritability)
• changes in mood and affect.
Interest has grown in the possible ill health effects of mercury liberated from dental amalgam fillings as well as the increased consumption of fish contaminated with mercury.43,44 Another potentially significant source may be contaminated or adulterated Chinese and Ayurvedic herbal medicines. |
David Brownstein
See book keywords and concepts |  The number one source of mercury poisoning is dental fillings. Dental amalgams (i.e., fillings) contain approximately 50% mercury as well as other metals, including nickel. The World Health Organization estimates that the largest source of mercury in humans comes from fillings implanted by dentists. The amount of mercury from fillings is over ten times more than for all other environmental sources combined.2
Mercury is also found in sources other than dental fillings. The following are some of the other sources of mercury:
1. Fish
2. Water-based paint
3. Polluted water
4. Fungicides

Arthur C. Upton, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | About twenty years ago, a group of cases of mercury poisoning occurred in the Midwest among people who ate canned tuna fish with a high mercury content. Although thousands of people had eaten the fish, only those who ate the tuna daily became ill.

Box 5.3 NUTRITION AND NEUROTOXICITY (continued)
This example illustrates the importance of a varied diet. Not only are most fad diets lacking in certain nutrients, they may also unwittingly result in a dependence on a food that may contain toxins. |
Ruth Winter, M.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  Among problems reported to the FDA were symptoms of mercury poisoning, swelling of the face and neck, jerking of hands, skin rash, burns, and stomach distress. Mercury was banned from cosmetics in 1973. SKIN BRACER • There is little difference between shaving lotions (see) and skin bracers. A skin bracer may have a high alcohol content and may also be used as a body refresher after a bath or shower. It is made mostly of water, alcohol, and perfume. Toxicity depends upon ingredients.
SKIN CONDITIONERS • Emollients, humectants, moisturizers, protectants, and soothers. |
Thomas Bartram
See book keywords and concepts |  The term is now increasingly used for mercury poisoning in all ages, in one of its many forms: atmospheric pollution, cereal grains, fish living in polluted waters, escape of vaporised mercury from teeth fillings, cassettes, camera mechanism, etc.
Symptoms: sweat rash, photophobia (intolerance of bright light on the iris of the eye), wasting, rapid heart beat, weakness, swollen ankles, diminished reflexes.
Alternatives. Assist the liver in its task to eliminate poisons, and to cleanse the lymph system. Adults: Gotu Kola, Sarsaparilla, German Chamomile: teas. |
Patrick Quillin, PhD,RD,CNS
See book keywords and concepts |  Lead poisoning is much more common than mercury poisoning. Though our use of lead is starting to be reduced, lead is a clearcut immune poison and has been targeted by the Environmental Protection Agency as a "top priority" cleanup item. Chelation therapy involves injecting chemicals (like EDTA) that put the heavy metal in a molecular "cage" and carry it out of the body in the urine. Chelation therapy may help to reduce heavy metal toxicity, which is assessed by mineral excretion in the urine or by hair/nail analysis.
-Reduce intake of poisons. | | With more than 90% of the American population sporting at least a few mercury fillings in their teeth, the subject of mercury poisoning has become a hot topic. Lewis Carroll's classic book, Alice in Wonderland, showcased the "mad hatter" as representative of an industry that whimsically used mercury to give stiffness to formal felt hats. Mercury is a deadly poison, and putting it in the mouth to erode over the years and eventually be swallowed is just plain ridiculous. |
Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts |  It wasn't uncommon for a hatmaker to lose his sanity after a lifetime of breathing fumes from mercury-treated felt. mercury poisoning is very serious.
THE DANGER OF NUCLEAR POLLUTION
In addition to chemical pollution, perhaps our friends are not aware of all the nuclear pollution that ends up in the world of the fish. The fish are attracted to the warm water near atomic reactors. They may consume plankton and sea vegetation and other fish that have absorbed radioactive waste that has leaked out of these reactors, and become radioactive to some degree. |
Dr. Mary Dan Eades
See book keywords and concepts |  Some experts have even thought CFS is the result of anemia, chronic mercury poisoning from amalgam dental fillings, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, sleep problems, and fungal infections. Many people with CFS have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a muscle disorder. More than likely, the cause is a combination of factors. The syndrome strikes far more women than men, for reasons that are not clear, and causes a host of recurring and persistent symptoms over the space of 6 months to several years. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, leukemia, lupus, Parkinson's disease, and reproductive problems (including birth defects). "Mercury can pass through any tissue in the body," Dr. Huggins says. "It disrupts normal metabolism anywhere it goes, crossing the placental barrier and the blood-brain barrier; therefore, it can be involved in almost any disorder."
In the 1990s, Dr. Huggins interviewed 1,320 patients who were suffering from mercury toxicity. |
