MERCURY TOXICITY
Mercury is a fat-soluble toxic heavy metal and is considered
to be the most toxic non radio-active heavy metal. Despite its dangers and
known role as a neurotoxin, many people have it implanted in their mouth,
injected into their bloodstream, or are consuming it daily in fish.
In February, 1998, a group of the world's top mercury researchers announced
that mercury from amalgam fillings can permanently damage the brain, kidneys,
and immune system of children.
Other toxic effects of excess mercury include increased risks of:- heart
attack, angina, arteriosclerosis, deafness, toxicity, kidney damage, auto-immune
diseases, liver damage, arthritis, muscle weakness, alzheimer's disease,
autism, depression, epilepsy, headache, insomnia , impaired learning ability,
MS, numbness and paralysis, speech impairment, lung damage, birth defects
, male and female infertility, miscarriage, dermatitis as well as contributing
to digestive problems, allergies, candidiasis, menstrual and menopausal
symptoms - the list is endless.
Dental Amalgams
Mercury makes up about 50 percent of every amalgam
dental filling, also known as 'silver' fillings. It contains a mixture of
metals such as silver, copper and tin, in addition to mercury which chemically
binds these components into a hard substance.
95 Percent of people with disorders of the central nervous system such as
MS, epilepsy, paralysis and migraines also have silver dental fillings.
This begs the question, would you want mercury, one of the most powerful
neurotoxins on the planet, embedded in your mouth, only inches from your
brain? The answer is obvious.
Vapours from amalgams are released continually, and studies have found that
those with these fillings can have mercury vapour concentration 10 times
higher than people without them. Simple activities such as chewing gum,
drinking hot liquids, and brushing teeth can increase the release of mercury
even more as can grinding the teeth, computer terminal exposure, exposure
to magnetic fields, presence of gold fillings or gold crowns (even if covering
mercury fillings) and braces.
If you decide to have your amalgams replaced with non-toxic
materials, the most important thing is to find a dentist who can remove
your amalgams safely. Any dentist can technically replace your amalgams,
but if they don't employ proper precautions much of the mercury in your
fillings will go straight to your brain. Secondly, I would recommend getting
healthy BEFORE you start on your fillings. Even a good dentist will likely
liberate some mercury in the removal process and you want your detoxification
mechanisms optimised prior to removal.
With Bio Health Energy Medicine it is possible to have removed existing
mercury from the body along with other toxins and pathogens before contemplating
changing your amalgams. After amalgam removal it is advisable to have a
follow on Bio Health Energy Medicine to remove any liberated mercury and
dental metals.
Vaccines
Thimerosal, a mercury-containing vaccine preservative,
is still widely used in vaccines, including those routinely administered
to children. Thimerosal contains close to 50 percent ethyl mercury by weight.
Children are particularly sensitive to the mercury as their nervous systems
are still rapidly developing. Years ago, health related organisation in
America recommended that thimerosal be removed from vaccines as soon as
possible, yet it's still present in many vaccinations including Hepatititis
B, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and Hib.
Over the past decade, the prevalence of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders such at attention deficit disorder have been increasing at epidemic proportions, and many experts believe that mercury from vaccines is at least partly to blame. It is thought that a child's reduced ability to excrete mercury - children's detoxification abilities may vary greatly - also plays a role. New research has found that Electromagnetic Fields from constant exposure to computers, mobile phone us etc seem to be linked to this reduced mercury excretion.
Fish
Tragically, our oceans are largely contaminated
with industrial pollutants like mercury. Ocean and farm-raised fish pick
up these toxic chemical residues, which bio-concentrate in their flesh.
The larger the fish, the more problematic because big fish eat smaller fish,
thereby getting an even greater dose of accumulated toxins. People who regularly
eat fish have higher levels of methylmercury than those who don't. Some
species of fish are prone to accumulating mercury. The amount of mercury
in fish varies according to the mercury content of the water in which fish
are caught. Mercury levels are generally higher in predatory, long-lived
fish at the top of the aquatic food chain (due to them consuming other mercury-contaminated
fish).
Species most prone to mercury contamination are:
Cod, halibut, mackerel, marlin, pike, sea bass, shark, swordfish, tuna (including
tinned tuna). Also seaweeds, fish oils and shellfish can be contaminated.
Remember the warnings issued by the government to pregnant and nursing women to limit their consumption of oily fish due to mercury concerns. Pregnant and breastfeeding women can transfer mercury to their newborns, causing significant neurological problems.
Even if you are a man or not planning to become pregnant, mercury from fish can still accumulate in your body and cause serious problems down the road.
Other sources of mercury
- Batteries
- Canvas
- Burning coal
- Cosmetics: mercury is used as a preservative in some cosmetics - especially in women's eye makeup. Currently the FDA (Federal Drug Administration of the USA (permits up to 65 parts per million of mercury to be included in eye makeup).
- Fluorescent lights contain Mercury vapour
- Plastic
- Mercury is a component of tobacco smoke
- Drinking water
- Thermometers
- Certain medications
- Fungicides and pesticides
Mercury Removal with Bio Health Energy Medicine
With the Bio Health Energy Medicine method of treatment,
not only can we identify the presence of mercury within the body, we can
be very specific about the organs/areas affected. We can then administer
an individualised energetic resonance to instruct the body to remove the
mercury from these areas. At the same time supportive measures are given
to the excretory pathways and stressed organs.
A typical mercury removal treatment lasts several days and is part of a
series of treatments that remove all metals and heavy metals along with
chemicals etc to help restore the body to good health.
