No Problem. You're wondering if mercury can cause constipation by accuumulating in the gut, well not exactly but it certainly can cause constipation.

Mercury has a very strongly negative effect on the endocrine system and the endocrine system controls everything in your body. Mercury has a high affinity for your endocrine glands because of their high concentration of halogens. Halogens are stronly electronegative atoms including Florine, Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine. Mercury has a strong positive charge on its atom (Hg 2+) and actively binds to halogens. The mercury that binds to your glands damages them and ultimately limits their production of their hormones. I think that mercury's most damaging effect is on the pituitary (the master gland which controls several others) .

Here is a basic mechanism of what happens: Mercury binds to the pituitary and lessens its ACTH and TSH production. The adrenals recieve less ACTH and produce less cortisol as a result. The thyroid recieves less TSH and produces less thyroid hormones as a result. Cortisol and thyroid hormones in general tell your body to use energy, and I stress that. The less of these hormones you have the less energy you use and the more sluggish your body and mind are. A sluggish body includes "strange heart beats", constipation, intolerance to exercise. A sluggish mind includes brain fog, poor memory, and negative emotions that include anxiety, negativity, etc.

Its great your looking into those glandulars. Make sure to get something with pituitary in it.
