Mercury: America's preferred poison

Posted Sep 14 2008 5:34pm

This long but powerful article from Discover Magazine describes in chilling detail how America (and other nations) are slowly but surely poisoning themselves. I love the subtitle: "A little mercury is all that humans need to do away with themselves quietly, slowly, and surely"

In my book, Wellness Piece by Piece, I outline how I believe mercury played a very significant role in the health issues I have faced for nearly four decades.

When I had my 14 mercury fillings taken out in 1987, two major problems went away immediately: First, whenever I exercised, my heart would continue to beat for hours at around 120 beats per minute. That stopped totally when my fillings were removed. Second, my hair stopped falling out. I have today virtually the same amount of hair as I did in 1987. Both of these are known symptoms of mercury poisoning.

The main problem with mainstream medicine/science recognizing the insidious nature of mercury is that it's effects are usually not immediately recognized. Discover Magazine notes this by saying:

Scientists are at a loss to explain why mercury often takes months to exert its effects. “If we knew that, we’d know a lot more about how mercury poisons the brain,” says Tom Clarkson, a toxicologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

Discover also bravely addresses the very controversial issue of mercury in so called "silver fillings."

Many people have chronic conditions that seemingly appear out of nowhere and often take years, and even decades before realizing that the issues started some months after major dental work. So it was with me.

Silver-mercury fillings have never been tested for safety. “The amalgam question will never be solved until we do a clinical trial like those we do with other medical devices,” says Aposhian.

I pointed this out in my book, my blog, and in many discussions I have had. People are usually SHOCKED to learn that the substance that dentists use to fill over 100 million cavities EVERY year, has NEVER been tested for safety by the ADA or the FDA. And yet they SWEAR to us, this most toxic metal is safe to have in our mouths our entire lives! Scary but true!
