B-12 and Mercury Poisoning of the Gut

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

I’m no Doctor and while I have an Engineering Undergraduate Degree, I’m not much of a Scientist either.

I appreciate Science, but my point is that I am not coming at this post today with an air of anything but experience.

If you’ve read the www.healthmattersblog.com posts for any length of time, you know that I suffered from mercury (more…)

Mercury Poisoning and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

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.

Credit Question

Monday, April 7th, 2008

G’day,

You *might* be wondering what ‘credit’ has to do with mercury poisoning? Well, that is a story for another day.

In the meantime, I’m hoping you are doing well and you might be willing to help me out with a little credit ‘project’.

You see, the fact is, my company has published a book that deals with credit as a primary focus of the book.

And while we know our book answers many common questions people have about credit, we’d like it to answer even more of those questions.

The name of the book, in case you are curious, is “America, America”.

The questions about credit that are answered in our book are:

How to get credit?

How to keep credit?

How to repair credit? If you’ve lost it.

Here is a link to our website on a page where you can read more about it and purchase it if you can use the honest help right now…

www.crimsonbooks.com/wealth.htm

But what I really need help with is the following…

Please go to the following link where you can give me feedback about your most important question relating to credit. That will help me immeasurably with the book and to show my appreciation, after the survey is over, we will send you the first chapter of America, America. We will also answer your specific question.

Here is the link…

Post Credit Question

How do you know if you have mercury in your body?

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Simple. Really.

How best to explain might not be, but here is how it went for me.

My Doctor saved my life, in part from being able to interpret the data from two Hair Analysis Tests and a fair amount of other data. I can’t tell you how important the ‘other data’ were, but the Hair Analysis Test results were definitely important.

A Hair Analysis Test shows relative amounts of elements in your body. It will show that your body is excreting a significant amount of a particular toxic element, such as lead, for example. Or it could show that you are not excreting a lot of lead through your hair.

In my case, the Hair Test Results, which were analyzed by ‘Doctor’s Data’, showed that I was not excreting much mercury through my hair.

Most folks might say, well then, that ruled out mercury poisoning.

Well, not so fast. Another equally viable interpretation is that my body was so poisoned, that it had lost the ability to excrete mercury through this particular avenue.

What to do?

That is where we come to the “Challenge Test” or “Mercury Challenge Test”.

So, if you and your Doctor want to look into the possibility of mercury poisoning further, you can use the DMPS Mercury Challenge Test. I’ll talk about DMPS more extensively in a later post. Suffice it to say that DMPS “teases” or “Coaxes” mercury out of your body.

There is a pre-provocative aspect of this test, whereby you will provide a urine sample before you take any DMPS intravenously. Then you will take the DMPS via I.V. and for the next 24 hours collect all your urine.

Both of these urine samples are sent out to a highly qualified lab for analysis. The results are analyzed and you hear back from them a week or so later.

In my case, the pre-provocative test showed that I was not eliminating much (if any) mercury through my kidneys (my urine). So, this test result was similar to my Hair Analysis test results. Not much mercury.

However, when you see my post-provocative DMPS mercury challenge test results, it was amazing. The bar went all the way from the left of the paper to the right side of the paper.

I had lots of mercury in my body. Undeniable evidence of lots of mercury in my body. Even a little bit is not good for a chronically ill person. Since I was nearly dead when I did the test, it was obvious that I needed to get the mercury out. At the very least, it wouldn’t hurt to get some mercury out and at best, I could get better.

Because my body had lost the ability to remove mercury, I needed a way to get it out.

How did I go about getting it out? Primarily DMPS initially, then DMSA and the DMSA and ALA.

My next post dealing with DMPS, EDTA & DMSA.

I am happy to report that I have been getting better and it correlates very strongly with the removal of mercury from my body.

By the way, the challenge test didn’t do a thing to me in terms of how I felt. There are people that react to DMPS, but I definitely wasn’t one of them.
