Hi Linda,

Apparenty hormonal issues are related to the control centre in the brain. When you have brain mercury, this upsets the endocrine system. I know mercury does block the action of iodine in the thyroid gland, but also let's not forget what happens from the brain.

I just located what I was after. Check this out:

Any ideas on how to determine which symptoms are from mercury in the brain

and which are from mercury in the body? Not that it really matters in
the
long run, just curious.

It is pretty clear from case reports (from patients, not MD's).

Endocrine problems, especially poor stress tolerance: brain.

Emotional volatility, difficulty teling what people are about: brain

Difficutly getting along with people, attention deficit: brain

Brain fog is about 70/30 body/brain. Mostly it does go away even without
brain detox.

Yeast is actually a brain related problem (it is controlled by inadequate
hormone levels, especially hydrocortisone) and while it improves with body
detox, it doesn't go away until the brain is cleared if it is a real bad
case.

Allergies, food sensitivities, chemical sensitivities do mostly go away
with body detox.

Fibromyalgia seems to be mostly body tox. Chronic fatigue seems to be about
70/30 body/brain.

I hope that's of help. It may also make sense to some people who may have spent a long time trying to detox their mercury, but may not used a proper brain chelating agent and/or not used it for a long enough time (or on the appropriate protocol). I think I come under that catagory wink
