I have suffered from symptoms which I have just recently linked to possible Mercury poisoning such as concentration problems, metal taste in mouth etc but want to know why, if there are millions of people with loads of fillings in, are quite happy and healthy. The reason i think why some people suffer and not others is because of your diet. I have only just started eating quite healthy in the last couple of years( plenty of salads, fruit + veg) Since then i have noticed more symptoms such as brain fog, constant metallic taste intollerances to food, feeling depressed after eating sugar etc. What i think must be happening is that if you eat healthy your body must dump more mercury into your system so you start suffering more. But if you eat loads of fats and poor food then most of the mercury gets stored in fat instead of in your organs. toxins that are stored in fat will be safe temporary until broken down through exercise or diet e.t.c This could be why alot of people can tollerate it. What do think about this.

Hi Jamie,

Actually, there are more people sick today than most imagine. If you look at the numbers, we're in a virutal epidemic. Most just don't know because the media doesn't talk about it... but that's another story. Many (including me) believe mercury is causing a significant part of this epidemic.

Mercury symptoms happened to me suddenly—Within a few weeks or months. I believe this is because your body reaches "saturation". Once that level is reached, it literally starts spilling into the blood, which is when you experience symptoms. It's called "Stage 3".

In speaking with Brandon at Peak Energy Labs in Colorado, he said most notice this in their mid-thirties. Although it varies from person to person based on many factors, it does happen in a relatively short period of time for many people that I've spoken with.

There are many factors which influence this including (but not limited to):

-Body pH
-Amalgam Composition (35% to 70% mercury... big variation)
-Electrical properties (more mercury vapor leaves when surface voltage is more negative - Mine ranged from +3 to -7 microvolts when measured; My father ranged from +17 to -49 microvolts)
-Chewing Style
-Diet
-Genetic Factors
-The Synergistic effect of exposure to other toxins in addition to mercury (lead and arsenic are both common)
-Many other things

Just a thought.
