Yes, on top of what mercury does directly, the stuff it allows indirectly is almost as bad, or as bad. It allows toxins to enter the brain, as it damaged the blood brain barrier. So things that normally might not get in, will. On top of this, it allows candida to overgrow inside the body, often becoming systemic. Candida just on it's own can cause a myriad of symptoms, amost identical to mercury, not to mention mental suffering and odd mental fears/paranoias and behaviours.

An example of it, is I become fearful if thephone rings or someone knocks at the door. i actually almost have a panic attack. now that is NOT normal and even I know that in my own state. I get scared when someone is coming to talk to me.

I was never that way once. I fight it, but it's impossible. To be able to get a handle on any of it, I have actually got to be in a better state of health. Candida diet helped some of this, but things have slipped back and the symptoms have rushed back with a vengeance.

Goes to show some, perhaps many of the poor sods in mental hospitals are probably very sane, but being made "insane" or mentally unstable by goodness knows what toxins or illness.

They all serve to disrupt normal processes in the brain and exaggerate any response or distort it.
