How Mercury Damages Your Brain


If you’ve ever questioned just how dangerous mercury is for your brain, this short film from the University of Calgary will put your suspicions to rest.

The film shows, in vivid detail, exactly what happens to your brain cells when they’re exposed to mercury, making it easy to understand why mercury has been linked to a host of harmful reactions like autism, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, infertility and many more.

KickThemAllOut.com July 1, 2007




Dr. Mercola''s Comments Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Despite its well-known dangers and role as a potent neurotoxin, many naïve people increase their exposure to mercury daily by eating contaminated seafood. Whether fish come from the ocean, lakes, rivers or streams, nearly all sources are contaminated with mercury, making them unsafe to eat.

And your brain and body can be exposed to toxic mercury through a number of other ways as well, from getting a flu shot to having a dental filling. Studies have found people with amalgam dental fillings can have mercury vapor concentrations 10 times higher than those in people without them. Also, simple activities such as chewing gum, drinking hot liquids and brushing teeth can further increase the release of mercury.

I urge you to review the various research and papers I have posted on my site regarding the issue, particularly if you are experiencing any of these symptoms:

  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Feeling “foggy-headed”
The above are just a few of the signs that let you know you may be suffering from metal poisoning -- a toxic accumulation of heavy metals in the soft tissues of the body. Mercury vapor is highly permeable and it will go through your skull bone like a hot knife through butter, and it will stay there firmly bound to sulfur proteins in your brain, causing damage to the microtubules that nourish your brain cells.

Oh, but the vaccine lovers stand by the "absolute fact" that mercury does not cause autism or other neurological damage. They insist that no study supports a causal relationship. Meanwhile, these pro-mercury people continue to discredit anyone who dares to prove otherwise. They try to assure parents that the mercury is out of all childhood vaccines, which is a lie. Then, they push flu shots on pregnant women and babies from 6 months old...which still contain the same amount of thimerosal as before! Then they tell us that autism can't be caused by mercury, because the numbers are still on the rise despite the fact that vaccines no longer contain it???? WHAT????                                    
Mercury is toxic and injecting it into babies is an outright crime!!!!

Murcury mutation--our next generation? Sad, isn't it.

Maybe we should take a good supply of good ole lye soap and run to DC and wash the murcury from our fearless leaders brains and see if that will clear their heads enough for them to be able to see what is really going on in our country. Think it will help? I have to answer myself on this one--NO! Voting them ALL out of office might! At least it might give them something to think about.

I am still pissed off at the University of Calgary for denying that Dr. Youngsoo Kim found the cure for diabetes there.  So here is the link www.prophecykeepers.com/dryoungsookim/index.html

Open comment to Dr. Mercola.  In the past I have purchased Way Healthier Full spectrum light bulbs from your store.  Do these contain any mercury?  I'm especially concerned because I recently noticed that the bulb appeared to be "chipping" and also there is a yellow stain on the white bulb stem.

Naturally I threw the bulb out even though it was still working because I felt it wasn't worth the risk of mercury exposure.  Mike Adam's article on mercury in CFLs made me worry.  The thought of a $2000 clean up for a broken CFL just is scary.

Bottom line question...  Is there mercury in the Way Healthier bulbs?

Hi Naturalways, I believe the mercury contamination happens when the bulb is busted.  Who hasn't cleaned up a broken bulb?  I have also found another way of detoxing your body.  It is with Bodi Detox Patches available at www.strausheartdrops.com.  These patches have been tested by a Health Canada certified lab and they contain no contaminants.  Be wary as there are other similar products which have not been tested.  They work as well as, or better than intravenous chelation.  You just put the patches on the bottom of your feet at night and the patches absorb the following:  mercury, isopropyl alcohol, benzene, beryllium, cadmium, aluminum, lead, nickel, asbestos, DAB dye and PCB's.  You can use hair analysis or live blood cell analysis to see the heavy metals leaving your body.  The patches contain the following ingredients:  wood vinegar & bamboo vinegar extract, houttuynia cordata extract, loquat leaf extract, chitosan, tourmaline, dextrin, vegetable fiber, vitamin C.  I find that this is a maintenance thing, as we are always taking in these chemicals, often unknowingly.

The word has to be relayed to all that vaccines are deadly poison, with mercury as only one toxin of many.

That smoking teeth video is quite something - thanks for mentioning it.  David Kennedy DDS (voiceover on it) is one of the few dentists I know of prepared to stand up to the peer pressure to toe the line on mercury and fluoride.
