Then there is the estrogen like activity of metals...

Copper, cobalt, nickel, lead, tin, chromium, vandate...
And how about cadmium's...

It disguise and dupes the extrogen recepter..

How about breast cancer..
How about the heavy metals that do leak over time in ones teeth..

Actually how much metals do we need in our bodies before damage
is done overtime...
It's in the environment as pollution as well....

Forget about it just being a neurotoxin...

We cannot keep our system pristine and clean,
because we are seperated from our toxic environment only by semi-permeable membranes..
skin and mucosal surfaces...

Toxins almost never come alone. They come in synergistically acting package-deals.

Pollution of heavy metals has been around in history alot longer
then recent.. It goes way back in time as well.....

Maybe lost in history as well going back even further.......

I wonder what effect that had on breathing in and touching and drinking
for their believed great qualitys in regards to health...

Effect they had on people in the past..
That got passed down through the generations in effect...

Alchemy lead to the discovery of amalgams as well....
There's nothing new under the sun...
In my beliefs...
