Measuring Mercury Mineral Toxicity

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

There are three methods of measuring mineral toxicity without actually taking a biopsy of the liver.

1.  Blood Analysis:  This measures only what is in the blood at the time of taking the sample.  The problem with this is not only that it is limited in time, but blood levels will vary considerably over time, giving very inaccurate measures.

2.  Urine Analysis:  This measures only what was in the blood a short time ago.  If a 24 hour collection is made, then it is much more accurate.   

3.  Hair Analysis:  Depending on the length of the hairs used, this can measure amounts over weeks or even months, and even years.  We can also measure using fingernails with the same general accuracy.

Here’s a major problem with all three methods.  Toxic minerals are filtered out of the blood by the liver, and stored there (or moved to other storage).  The liver WILL NOT release these toxic minerals UNLESS there is something in the bloodstream that can remove them from the body.

The two “natural” chemicals that do this are vitamin C and Glutathione.  There are also various chemicals called “chelators” that “grab” onto all minerals, and render them water soluble, thus excreting them via kidney and urine.   (Vitamin C and Glutathione are not exactly chelation chemicals, as they metabolize minerals, but the act the same way.)

Here’s another source if inaccuracy.  All the minerals present are measured.  This includes the minerals necessary for good health,  (Calcium, magnesium, iron, etc).
The toxic minerals are then measured against these “average levels” of nutritional minerals.  This means that if no, or very little vitamin C or Glutathione is present in the blood, no, or very little toxic minerals are released, and measured as a ratio with the normal (averaged) minerals, may show up as very low, and not toxic on the chart.

In particular, this inaccuracy is a huge factor in autism cases.  Let’s look at a hypothetical case of an infant from a mother with a less than toxic amount of mercury.
In the hospital or shortly afterwards, he gets a series of vaccines that use mercury as a preservative.  He already has a near toxic level of mercury stored in his liver, and this (huge to a small body) increase overloads his liver.The excess minerals are able to pass the brain blood barrier, and kill brain cells.  

Now it takes time for the liver to move some of the toxic mercury from the liver to other storage areas, and in this interim, the mercury is poisoning the brain.  Eventually, this movement is done, and all the toxins are stored and out of the bloodstream.  

Measure the blood at this time with any of the three methods above (perhaps months later), and the “apparent” level of mercury is well below the toxic level.  Autistic children are very short in Glutathione, and there isn’t enough vitamin C in most children to even begin to remove the amounts of mercury stored.  (The RDA of 75 mg will prevent scurvy, but is not even close for good health.)

Big Pharma knows all this.  Very few MD’s do.  Big Pharma is using blood and urine testing to “prove” that these kids autism wasn’t caused by the mercury.  Big Pharma is an expert at this type of lie and spin - witness their drug advertising.         

From the above facts, it is possible to get a much more accurate measure from any of the three analysis methods above.It’s simple to pre-load a person prior to testing with vitamin C.  For a few days prior to either the blood or urine testing, and for a month prior to the hair testing.  This allows the liver to release any toxic minerals from  storage into the bloodstream where they are neutralized by the vitamin C into a water soluble combination that is then filtered out by the kidneys and expelled.  (The hair and fingernail cells also accumulate minerals from the blood stream in the ration that they appear in the bloodstream.)

Why Vitamin C?  It’s relatively cheap; It’s very safe to use even in very high doses; most chelators are expensive, and Glutathione is difficult to get into the bloodstream for any amount of time.

In my former practice (80’s & 90’s) I helped many schizophrenics cure themselves using only vitamin C.I usually recommended 10,000 mg (10 grams per day in split doses for adults.  They were on this amount for perhaps a year, but after a week or so, they became free of the major symptoms.  The vitamin C “neutralizes the toxic action of minerals as well as taking it out of the body!

The amount in the RDA is ridiculous at best.  75 mg - Bah humbug!  Talk to a zoo vet and you’ll find that the RDA for a 150 pound ape is 4000 mg per day.  Humans and apes are exactly alike in basic metabolism and vitamin C need.  I’ve been taking 4000mg for many years, and I do not get infections from bacteria or viruses.  

The other good thing about vitamin C is that you can’t get into harm using it.  Take too much, and you only get diarrhea.  Even in infants and small children.  For infants under 20 pounds, I’d use 250 mg twice a day.        

There are several chelation materials used today.  Chelate means to “grab onto”.  The MD “standard” is EDTA.  This chemical is put in intravenously.  It’s expensive in “doctor” time.  Zeolite is another that can be used at home, but it’s also much more expensive than plain old Ascorbate Acid (vitamin C).   

Excess copper, particularly in women on the “pill” may cause schizophrenia, mercury can be a cause of depression.  Lead and mercury both cause brain cell death.  In order to really cure such, these toxic minerals MUST be taken out of the body.

Constipation is never a good thing to deal with. It makes a person uneasy and worried. Just imagine a balloon that’s filled with air but couldn’t burst.

The main culprit which causes the irregular bowel movement and constipation is the narrowing of the passageway and the blockage in the colon. This is the result of the compacted undigested food and unreleased waste materials which have formed in the colon over the past years. Studies also reveal that colon cancer can be brought about by certain unhealthy eating habits and irregular bowel movement.
