It is impossible to avoid exposure to toxic heavy metals in today's world.
This book explains how to diagnose mercury poisoning and shows how to safely remove mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxic metals from your body.
The case histories in this book demonstrate how exposure to these heavy metals can lead to allergies, anxiety, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, colitis, autism, ADHD, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
The Environmental Protection Agency's limit for mercury is an intake of 7 micrograms per day for a 70 kg person. If you have dental amalgams (these silver colored fillings are actually 50% mercury) the World Health Organization estimates you are exposed to 4 to 21 micrograms per day. Over decades this adds up to hundreds of milligrams of the element that toxicologists consider the most toxic non-radioactive element.
If you eat 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of tuna, you take in another 35 micrograms, or 5 times the daily limit for the average adult.
We are also exposed to mercury through some vaccines and pharmaceutical products. At home there are mercury containing CFL light bulbs and fructose syrup.
At the same time, the environment is contaminated with several hundred times the level of lead that our pre-industrial ancestors were exposed to. In animal experiments, mercury increased the toxicity of lead by a factor of 14.
It is no wonder that so many people are experiencing chronic health problems. Perhaps mercury or another heavy metal is the source of your health problems.
