rate, mental impairment, grinding of teeth, fatigue and low
endurance. Weak bone, hair and fingernails. Skin conditions.
Conception issues and weight loss. Glandular disorders, weak tissue
respiration, defective reproduction functions, seizures and
convulsions, possible cramping, paralysis. However, calcium
deficiency is the reason for cramping.
Toxicity: Known to be highly toxic when inhaled or taken intravenously.
Excess symptoms are CID or the human equivalent of Mad Cow
Disease.Mercury (Hg)
Food sources: Many types of fish, especially tuna
Toxic sources: Contaminated fish, dental amalgams, water supplies,
thermometers, some batteries, manufacture and delivery of petroleum
products, fungicides (for grains and cereals), florescent lamps, hair
dyes, cosmetics, combustion of fossil fuels, fertilizers,
pharmaceutical preparations (diuretics and hemorrhoidal, etc.). This
source of mercury might suppress the immune system and the
body’s natural defense against infection and disease.
Uses in the body: Mercury salts are used in medicine, agriculture, and
industry and accumulation of toxic levels is possible. Mercury alters
the shape and function of enzymes. The body accumulates mercury
in the kidneys, nerves, blood, liver, bone marrow, spleen, brain,
heart, skin and muscles. The developing infant is very susceptible to
mercury toxicity during pregnancy. While pregnant and/or breast-
feeding, eat in moderation any fish that tends to be high in mercury.
Deficiency: Mercury settles in liver, spleen, kidneys, intestinal wall,
heart, skeletal muscles, lungs and bones. Immediate gastrointestinal
disturbances, loss of appetite and weight, inflammation of gums,
difficulty chewing and swallowing, metallic taste in mouth, thirst,
nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen, bloody diarrhea.
Toxicity: Excess mercury suppresses selenium, causes severe emotional
disturbances, cell destruction, blocked transport of sugars (energy at
cellular level), increased permeability of potassium, loss of appetite,
depression, tremors, decreases senses, peripheral numbness, poor
memory and especially neuro-muscular conductors. Has been linked
to MS and Parkinson’s. Has been associated with heart attacks (Mis).
