Muscle weakness is pretty common with mercury poisoning. If it's in your bloodstream and not being aggresively cleared out it settles in places, muscle tissue for instance. You'll notice a lot of people complain of numbness with mercury poisoning, all related to have an overall effect of muscle weakness, your muscles are numb, thus weak. There are studies, one in particular, I have a link on this machine somewhere to it, maybe I can find it... but anyway one study in particular was where they put amalgam fillings into the teeth of sheep. Similar studies have been done with chimpanzees. then after a certain amount of time the animals are killed and xrayed. the majority of mercury in the animals will be in the gut every time, likewise the colon. Back to muscle weakness and numbness in this respect... as affecting your colon, leading to constipation, weak and numb colon and lower intestine muscles. If the mercury, or other heavy metals such as lead, many people with mercury issues also have issues with other heavy metals, logically, because the colon is weak (just like your back but you don't feel it the same way except going is slowed down), you also accumulate other toxins.heavy metals as a result. If you do not take aggressive action to clear the colon regularly the mercury/metals/toxins will seep through the intestinal wall and affect the surrounding muscles, resulting in a weak back. The longer the colon is slowed down the more spread of toxins you get and the longer it will take to get them out of your muscles/bones/nerves. Mercury is considered a nervous system poison. Thus the numbness. It especially affects nerve endings, which is why it hurt me to kneel or lean on an elbow when I was very sick. Even my heels hurt like heck. Which is why I limped and could not run for about 5 months. It often afftects the spine, which houses major nerve bundles. Mercury can seep through most body tissues, even the placenta, in the case of a pregnant woman. If it can bypass the placenta you can bet it easily seeps through your colon into your back and hips, for starters. It's a well known medical fact that toxins in the colon seep through the intestine and repoison the body unless aggressively eliminated by colon cleasning. When you chelate, some of the toxins are elliminated via urine, but mercury also likes to eliminate via the bowels. Chelating is good, but you have to remember that your simply dumping from one area, blood and tissue for instance to another, the kidneys, the liver, and the bowels.

So, given all of that factual medical information, it's pretty easy to say where the mercury sits, at first anyway, and why your back feels crappy.

The longer the mercury adversely affects your nerves and muscles the longer it will take to heal. Simple logic... if the muscles feel numb they are literally becoming weak because you do not use them that same anymore... and likewise they are becoming more defective day by day because of the poisons. which is exactly why I chose quick aggressive IV chelation. Because one day i was fine and literally almost overnight I felt like a cripple because of toxin overload. Which would also explain why I seem to be healing quicker. I never let it settle in in those big amounts that caused overnight trauma to me, I found a doctor right away.

Every time I get a big mercury (or other toxins) dump I get constipated. seems kind of self evident to me by now exactly what is happening. If I do not quickly get my bowels moving again, I start repoisoning myself, and it feels real crappy. pun intended.

Lead and cadmium and other heavy metals also cause muscle weakness. No one ever has simply an isolated mercury problem.
