I was 49 years old and had been experiencing bouts of horrible abdominal cramping followed by multiple bowel movements that became increasing liquid, culminating in a mess of whitish discharge (the lining of my colon) and blood. These bouts were occurring with greater frequency (from once a month to twice or more) and intensifying; I was growing desperate, anguished, and fatigued. So I had to proceed with the next step: replace my three gold crowns. Research Mercury Toxicity and Digestive Disorders. When intestinal permeability is increased, food and nutrient absorption is impaired. Dysfunction in intestinal permeability can result in leaky gut syndrome, where larger molecules and toxins in the intestines can pass through the membranes and into the blood, triggering immune response. Progressive damage can occur to the intestinal lining, eventually allowing disease-causing bacteria, undigested food particles, and toxins to pass directly into the blood stream.

Dysfunctions in intestinal permeability have been found to be associated with diseases such as: Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) Ulcerative colitis Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Crohn’s disease Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Eczema Psoriasis Food allergies Autoimmune disease and Arthritis Symptoms commonly associated with LGS include: Abdominal pain Indigestion Diarrhoea Anxiety Chronic joint pain Chronic muscle pain Mental confusion Mood swings Poor memory Poor immunity and recurrent infections Bloating and Fatigue. Thread: Mercury poisoning and Ulcerative Colitis at Chelation Support Forum (ThreadID: 68045) Hello Mike Your post caught my eye. It reflects my own story quite closely.

Oceanus : How Does Toxic Mercury Get into Fish? By Cherie Winner :: Originally published online : In print Vol. 48, No. 2, Dec. 2010 Most everyone has heard by now that we should limit our consumption of certain fish because they accumulate high levels of toxic mercury.

Oceanus : How Does Toxic Mercury Get into Fish?

But nobody—not even scientists—knows how that toxic mercury gets into the ocean in the first place. Here’s the mystery: Most of the mercury that enters the ocean from sources on land or air is just the element mercury, a form that poses little danger because living things can get rid of it quickly. The kind of mercury that accumulates to toxic levels in fish is called monomethylmercury, or simply methylmercury, because it has a methyl group, CH3, attached to the mercury atom. The problem is that we don’t know where methylmercury comes from. That’s the puzzle Carl Lamborg, a biogeochemist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), is trying to solve. Minamata Bay was one of the worst cases ever of methylmercury poisoning, but sadly, it was not unique. Next steps.

A prestigious MD and his Ph D. pal are touting a book stating vitamins and nutritional supplements are a con game. These people obviously don't recognize the poison loads some people are carrying. They don't seem to appreciate how disruptive toxins such as mercury are to the bodies chemical processes. The ability to digest, absorb, incorporate and synthesize from food requires bio-chemicals that are all dependent on properly functioning metabolic processes. Processes that can be severely disrupted by metallic poisons.

These people have a near monopoly on our health dollars. At $2 a day, the money for my mercury free dental restorations, and chelation treatments would have covered 6,000 days, or 16.4 years of nutritional supplements.
