Toxic levels of mercury can cause or exacerbate autoimmune diseases, infections, unexplained chronic fatigue, depression, nerve impairment, memory problems, decreased mental clarity, bowel disorders, and many other problems that are seemingly unrelated. With laboratory testing and a thorough history and physical examination, experienced health care professionals can detect harmful mercury levels and formulate a plan of detoxification. Many mercury toxicologist have stated that no amount of exposure to mercury vapor can be considered totally harmless.
Prevention is always better than treatment of symptoms.
Check the labels of cosmetics and eat non-processed, organic foods when possible. With special laboratory tests , experienced health care professionals can estimate the mercury load within the body by how much is being excreted in the urine. This is done by the order and under the supervision of a licensed health care professional. Drugs, such as DMSA , may be prescribed. DMSA binds with mercury and removes it from the body.
