Mercury Poisoning and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Pleasant topic, no doubt.
But the fact is, there are lots of dear people that are struggling desperately with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s Disease and Colitis.
Am I positing that these are all the same thing. Not exactly. I’m not saying they’re not either. Truthfully, I am not sure one way or the other. I am sure that most Doctor’s don’t know the cause of any of them. These terms are convenient labels for a set of symptoms for which conventional medicine knows no cause. They only know medications that temper some of the symptoms. Sometimes at great risk to the entire body.
Now let’s see. What would be a source of mercury that could end up being utilized in our intestinal wall?
Fish? Amalgam Fillings (which constantly methylate? Given that both sources go primarily into your digestive tract, they are certainly two potential significant sources of mercury that your body might unwittingly use in constructing your gut wall.
How much research is there to back this up? Frankly, I don’t know. But I do like following a logical path. If you ingest a substance, isn’t it highly probable that your body will try to utilize it? Sure thing! Now shouldn’t your body know better than to use mercury to construct body parts? Well yes, but from the reading I have done, some forms of mercury can trick your body into thinking it is usable where it is in fact not healthful.
Mercury interferes with the enzymatic processes of digestion. So if your gut has a lot of mercury in the lining, how well do you think you will digest your food?
“Not well” is my conclusion.

Mercury occurs inorganically as salts such as mercury(II) chloride. Mercury salts primarily affect the gastro-intestinal tract and the kidneys, and can cause severe kidney damage; however, as they can not cross the blood-brain barrier easily, mercury salts inflict little neurological damage without continuous or heavy exposure.

While I don’t have the hard science nailed down, in my reading from the folks that do, it appears that mercury can take several different forms. And certain forms of mercury can be particularly egregious to the human body.
In my case, the day after I had my last three amalgam fillings removed, my body no longer felt at war with itself. Well, the Dentist that removed those three fillings commented that under the largest filling was the worst infection he’d seen in 30 years of practicing Dentistry. And I did not know it was there.
The bacteria under that filling were methylating the mercury and the result was extremely toxic to me. There is a Phd that talks about this sort of stuff at length in his book “Amalgam Illness” should you be interested in reading more.
Thanks for commenting.
All the best,
