The Mercury Connection to Allergies and Immune Reactive Conditions: allergies, asthma, eczema, diabetes, autism, etc. in children and chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, lupus, psoriasis, oral lichen planus, multiple sclerosis in adults.
Review of over 1000 peer-reviewed medical studies and thousands of clinical cases found the following:
1. There has been a large increase in the incidence of allergic and immune reactive conditions such as allergies, asthma, eczema, diabetes, autism, etc. among children and in chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, lupus, psoriasis, oral lichen planus, multiple sclerosis, etc. among adults. (FS1, FS2, FS3, FS4, FS9, FS10)
2. Medical and clinical studies
document that a high percentage of people are allergic or immune reactive to
mercury to varying degrees, and that many millions are adversely affected by
such immune reactive conditions, including many disabled by related autoimmune
conditions. (FS1,
FS3, FS9, FS10)
3. Clinical immune reactivity tests
by medical labs document that high percentages of those with immune reactive
conditions or chronic conditions are significantly immune reactive to mercury
or other toxic metals.
(FS1, FS9, FS10)
4. Peer-reviewed medical studies
and clinical records document that many thousands of children and adults with
mercury related immune reactive conditions have recovered or significantly
improved after reducing exposures and proper treatment for mercury toxicity.
(FS1, FS2, FS9, FS10)
5. Studies researching the cause of the rapid of the
rapid rise in children’s immune
reactive and
neurological conditions identified the high levels of mercury
exposure from earlier and more frequent vaccinations that use mercury
thimerosal as a preservative; along with significant prenatal and postnatal mercury
exposure to infants from mother’s
amalgam fillings and breast milk.
(FS1, FS3, FS4, FS5, FS6, FS9, FS10)
6. Medical studies, Government Scientific Panels, and thousands of clinical tests by medical labs have documented that amalgam dental fillings are the largest source of mercury exposure in most people, and that exposures from amalgam fillings commonly exceed Government Health Standards for mercury. (FS5, FS9)
7. Medical studies have documented the
mechanisms such as immune reactivity by which mercury causes over 30 chronic
health conditions, and many thousands of cases of recovery
or significant improvement after amalgam replacement or mercury detoxification.
(FS9, FS10, FS1, FS2)
8. Mercury from amalgam fillings crosses a pregnant mother’s placenta and accumulates in the fetus at levels significantly higher than in the mother’s blood, and infants are also exposed to significant levels of mercury from mother’s milk in those who have several amalgam fillings. (FS6, FS5, FS8, FS9)
9. The reasons for high levels of exposure
to mercury in those with amalgam fillings include the volatility of mercury at
room temperature, oral galvanic currents between mixed metals such as amalgam
fillings and metal crowns, and currents induced by electromagnetic fields. This results in high levels
of mercury in oral air, saliva, and then to other parts of the body. (FS8, FS7, FS5)
10. Mercury is extremely cytotoxic(kills cells), neurotoxic(kills and damages neurons), endocrine disrupting(accumulates and damages the hormonal glands and hormone function including reproductive effects and effects on IQ of children), and immunotoxic(kills cells and damages the immune system and immune function). Mercury is the most toxic substance people commonly come in contact with and so toxic that the drinking water standard is 2 parts per billion. Exposure from amalgam fillings or vaccinations are commonly much higher than government health standards. (FS9)
11. There are similar immune reactive and neurotoxic effects from other toxic exposures such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, nickel, pesticides, organochlorine and organophosphate chemicals, etc. The effects of mercury and other such toxic exposures are additive or synergistic. (FS9, FS10)
