Yes.

"The level of glucose in the blood is regulated by the hormone insulin, which is manufactured by the pancreas. The process of synthesizing insulin requires the formation of sulfur-based bonds between two chains of molecules. Mercury, by interfering with sulfur the binding site, can inhibit the production of insulin; an insufficient level of insulin can cause the glucose level to elevate. If your insulin is particularly susceptible to interference from mercury, your glucose levels can get high enough for you to be considered diabetic."

"I have seen cases in which glucose and cholesterol are in the proper range while the triglyceride level is elevated 100 to 300 points. This is quite a movement, since the desired range is 100 micrograms or less per 100 milliliters of blood. A difference of several hundred percent is quite significant when it concerns something that tends to make the blood serum thick. This is often due to the body's response to the presence of mercury. In some of these cases, the triglyceride level later dropped 200 points within three days after amalgam removal. In other cases, emotional stress will cause several hundred points of elevation. This is where a doctor has to balance nutrition against emotional stress against mercury in making a diagnostic judgement. When mercury is causing a problem with triglycerides, theough, changes are dramitic and fast following proper amalgam removal and replacement with compatible substances."

"If a person has 7 or more of these symptoms, there is a significantly increased possibility that mercury toxicity is a major contributing factor.

Comment
There are also references in Huggins materials that cite low cholesterol as a mercury marker. It seems that cholesterol can be influenced either way by mercury depending on diet and genetics.

Mercury blocks your ability to methylate B12 by interfering with the enzyme methionine synthase. The methylation of B12 is necessary to utilize homocysteine (and ironically glutathoine). This causes homocysteine to become elevated.


"Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood. Too much of it is related to a higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease (fatty deposits in peripheral arteries)."

"Evidence suggests that homocysteine may promote atherosclerosis (fatty deposits in blood vessels) by damaging the inner lining of arteries and promoting blood clots. However, a causal link hasn't been established."

It's very interesting to note that Thimerosal (the vaccine preservative) in inhibiting the methylation of B12, eventually results in the inability to methylate DNA, RNA and various proteins which is characteristic of autistic children. In other words, mercury (in Thimerosal?the vaccine preservative) very likely causes autism.
