Mercury Poisoning, Candida Yeast, Or Is It Both?

If you have chronic yeast infections or candida you must look into the possibility of mercury poisoning. The general line of thought is the body produces yeast as a defense against excess metals. The yeast cell binds and absorbs its own weight in mercury and prevents it from entering the blood stream. What the yeast can't deal with is disposed of as methyl mercury.

Methyl mercury now goes everywhere as it passes through the intestinal wall. The body's macrophages and master antioxidant glutathione try to clean up and detoxify this on-going mess. At some point they become weakened and depleted, tired, and worn out.

In an article in the November 28, 2002, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, "Mercury, fish oils, and the risks of myocardial infarction," the authors stated: "Mercury may promote arteriosclerosis and hence increase the risk of myocardial infarction in several ways. Mercury promotes the production of free radicals…and may bind selenium [so that it] cannot serve as a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase. Mercury may…inactivate the antioxidant properties of glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase. Mercury may induce lipid peroxidation, and mercury levels were a strong predictor of oxidized LDL levels…. Mercury compounds can also promote platelet aggregability and blood coagulability, inhibit endothelial-cell formation and migration, and affect apoptosis and the inflammatory response. Increased rates of cardiovascular disease were found in mercury-exposed workers, and mercury levels in hair predicted the progression of carotid arteriosclerosis in a longitudinal study."

The article found that mercury levels were directly associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attacks), and that this partially offset the protective effects of DHA derived from eating fish.

The New England Journal editorialized: "The notion that methyl mercury contributes to cardiovascular disease is certainly a testable hypothesis and one that warrants further testing."

At Michael Biamonte's health clinic, testing the mercury levels in his patients with various illnesses. Michael found that 84% of his patients with candida had elevated mercury levels, and that they were 60% higher than normal. The exact same numbers held for patients with parasites. 86% of patients with Epstein Barr Virus had mercury levels elevated by 68%. For those with chemical sensitivities 85% were 70% elevated and with chronic urinary tract infections 82% were 68% elevated. Most other conditions were much lower.

Dr. J. Trowbridge has written in his book "The Yeast Syndrome," that some doctors specializing in candida treatment have reported to him that they have discovered clinically that 98% of their patients with chronic candida also had mercury toxicity.

Recently the Environmental Protection Agency said, "One in every six women of childbearing age has enough mercury in their bloodstream to cause neurological damage to their unborn children."

Mercury accumulation levels in females are 2:1 over males. It accumulates in the central nervous system, the endocrine system, and every major organ, as well as the body at large.

It disrupts the pituitary, thyroid, hypocampus and adrenal gland. These disruptions help bring on fatigue, mind fog, short term memory loss, concentration problems, and headaches. People can lose their sense of balance. Women can develop early menopause and endodemitriosis from loss of proper hormone regulation.

If you have chronic yeast infections or candida you must look into the mercury connection. It binds to the yeast cell wall and when the yeast cell becomes saturated or has absorbed all it can, roughly its own weight, it disposes of the rest as methyl mercury.

Methyl mercury now goes everywhere as it passes thru the intestinal wall. The body's macrophages and glutathione try to clean up and detoxify this on going mess. At some point they become weakened, tired, and worn out. This weakening of the immune system hinders the bodies ability to heal.

It is a viscious circle that can go on forever if you do not remove the mercury while treating yourself for candida.

If this not enough; Drs. Mark Lustberg, of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and Ellen Silbergeld, of Johns Hopkins University, compared data gathered from the 2000 U.S. census and the massive Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

From this data and survey they estimated that 29 million people in the US had high levels, 20 mcg/dL or higher, of lead in their body's. Death rates of those in the study were also examined. The results turned out to be a little disturbing.

They found that blood lead levels ranging from as little as "20 to 29 mcg per dL were associated with a 39 percent increase in mortality from all causes. These low levels also were associated with a 46 percent increase in mortality from cardiovascular diseases, and a whopping 68 percent increase in mortality due to cancer".

Even lower blood lead levels, "measuring from 10 to 19 mcg/dL were associated with a significant 17 percent increase in mortality from all causes and 46 percent increase in mortality from cancer, when compared with blood lead levels less than 10 mcg/dL".

There are no safe lead levels!

Mental Mercury poisoning symptoms can include:

  • Depression with fatigue and a lack of motivation
  • Feelings of hopelessness, fear, or impending doom
  • Personal relationships can become impaired
  • Becoming shy and avoiding social relationships
  • Restlessness, loss of self-control, and poor judgment
  • Intelligence can deteriorate as you become dull and slow thinking
  • Memory problems from lack of concentration
  • Periods of no dreaming activity or dreams become black and white
  • Irritability, excitability, fearfulness, restlessness, melancholy, depression, weakness, timidity, fatigue, indecisiveness, and headaches can all be symptoms at one time or another
  • Easily upset and embarrassed
  • Quarrelsome and neglect work and family
  • Loss of patience
  • Brain fog

    Early physical mercury poisoning symptoms can include:

  • Dizziness
  • Dry Skin
  • Asthma
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Daytime drowsiness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Cold hands and feet
  • Digestive problems
  • Increasing sensitivity to light
  • Profuse sweating or don't sweat at all
  • Reddening of the skin, especially face and neck
  • Tendency towards diarrhea alternating with constipation
  • Athletes feet and toenail fungus
  • Hair becomes dry, brittle, and thin
  • Receding gum lines that sometimes are spongy or bleed easily
  • Loose teeth, excessive salivation and bad breathe
  • Loss of sense of smell and hearing
  • A feeling of tightness around the head
  • Heart racing for no apparent reason
  • Women may experience profuse menses with abdominal pains
  • A sensation of rawness in the vaginal tissues
  • Puffiness of the face and legs
  • The biological clock gets thrown out of whack as a person can shift from and early bird to a night owl

    Organ health and mercury poisoning symptoms can include:

  • Mercury can affect the thyroid gland, usually under performing.

    You can test thyroid function by taking your temperature in the morning before you get out of bed. Leave the thermometer in place for at least 5 minutes. If the temperature is less than 97.5 degrees, there are problems with the thyroid regardless of hormone tests. Another indicator for women is the blood color during menstruation. It should be bright red, brownish indicates low thyroid levels.

  • Excessive urination. More than 2.5 liters or more than 5 or 6 times a day.
  • Subclinical adrenal function. Symptoms consist of weakness, fatigue, depression, weight loss, hypoglycemia, anxiety, and low blood pressure.
  • Mercury also interferes with the body's ability to regulate glucose. This can be recognized by feeling tired 2 or 3 hours after a meal and a sweet snack seems to solve the problem for a while.
  • It interferes with immune system function. You get sick more often and the sickness is more prolonged or serious. Recurrent bronchitis is a classic example. Increased allergies, asthma, and other respiratory complaints can be common.
  • Problems metabolizing alcohol, which leads to feeling bad after a drink or two.
  • The enzymes used by the body for detoxification become impaired and the body quits detoxifying itself. The victim becomes more sensitive to chemicals, air quality and foods.
  • It interferes with the oxygenation of the blood and rapid breathing and shyness can appear for no apparent reason.
  • You bruise easily and bleeding can be profuse when cut.
  • Body odor that smells like colostrum or milky sweet.
  • After having a bowel movement you feel like you are not done and have not passed the whole stool, yet you are unable to go.
  • Twitching of the eyelids followed by tremors in the arms, lips, fingers, and lastly--the legs.
  • Inability to focus the eyes followed by the inability to move them to look at objects. The person moves their head instead.
  • Acrodynia in children is rare but is caused by mercury poisoning.
  • Chronic yeast and candida infections

    Overall, a person may have long periods of great productivity in their lives followed by periods of being nonproductive. As the poisoning progresses, these periods of productivity become shorter and fewer in-between as the poisoning sets in slowly and progresses thru levels of increasing dysfunction.

    Many of these mercury poisoning symptoms are just like chronic yeast or candida, and often the patients misdiagnose themselves. Unless of course she most definitely has a vaginal yeast infection. Candida and yeast will actually attach themselves to the mercury molecule and the accepted theory is excess yeast is an immune response to heavy metals. We know it also attaches itself to the iron molecule as well and uses it as a means of travel. It must be removed from the body because of this fact or you will not get well.

    Most people associate mercury poisoning with the silver metal amalgam dental fillings that were in widespread use up until recently. Recently, a great amount of attention has been focused on autism and the mercury found in vaccines and for good reason. Cases of autism spiked, and have continued at almost epidemic rates since 1991, 2 years after the introduction of the MMR vaccine and the usage of thermosal (mercury) as its preservative.

    Thermosal was and is used in many products as a preservative. Antiseptic gels, contact lense solutions, hemorrhoid creams, lubricating gels, and vaginal contraceptives. Fluorescent lights contain a high amount of mercury and if you are around one when the glass tube is broken, you may have breathed the resulting gas. Red ink used for tattoos contains mercury sulfide as the coloring agent. Tuna, swordfish, shellfish, and shark are all loaded with high mercury levels.

    Some other mercury sources are found in environmental air pollution or acid rain from coal fired power plant emissions, adhesives, talc and body powder, broken thermometers, cosmetics, all plastics, diuretics, fabric softeners, felt, floor waxes/polishes, fungicides, industrial wastes, laxatives, mercurochome, photo-engraving, skin lightening cream, suppositories, wood preservatives, hair dyes, batteries, Preperation H, solvent-thinned paints, and latex paints.

    The point is, mercury exposure can be a common occurrence for all of us.

    Cellular Zeolite To Remove Mercury

    If you suffer from any of the above mercury poisoning symptoms, you can treat yourself quite easily with liquid cellular zeolites. Zeolite is a negatively charged mineral that magnetically draws harmful positive charged metals and mercury to itself. It traps them in its cage-like structure and takes them out of the body with no overload on the body's detoxification system.

    Zeolite does not accumulate in the body and does not attach itself to body tissues. It remains suspended while drawing out heavy metals that are attached to body tissues. This process allows the body to dispose of the metals thru its normal detoxification processes. It reduces any die-off symptoms caused by the mycotoxins the candida can produce.

    Most zeolite products only work in the intestinal tract. That's because the zeolite molecules stack together to form large structures that are too big to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Cellular Zeolite uses zeolite that has undergone a patented process where the zeolite is heated, cleansed of all toxins it picked up when it was in the ground, calcium, magnesium and potassium are added to it in very small quantities, and then it is cooled. A four-day process. This process keeps the zeolite at a small size because it keeps it from stacking up. It is suspended in a liquid to further prevent stacking.

    As a consequence, research shows that 60% of the zeolite in Cellular Zeolite goes into the bloodstream where it does its job of detoxifying before it is excreted through the urine. 40% is eliminated through the bowels and was used to detoxify the intestinal tract.

    It has an affinity to first attract mercury, and then other heavy metals. Then it starts working on other chemicals and toxins and attracting viral particles to it. Not only is it a potent, fast acting heavy metal detoxifier, it is a virus and a Candida killer.

    A virus is too large to be captured in its molecular structure, but when a virus replicates it splits into viral particles. Cellular Zeolite attracts and captures these viral particles. This prevents the virus from replicating, and thus it kills viruses.

    One woman started out giving her 32-pound autistic child just one drop a day. It was so powerful that two drops were too much at first as her son was constipated and toxins and viruses were not being eliminated in a timely manner. Yet after a month of just one and later two drops a day, the pH in the intestinal track had been improved so much she counted 30 clusters of candida fungi coming out in a bowel movement.

    Cellular Zeolite is very good at what it does. It tends to work fast and is completely safe. Because it traps the toxins, few side effects can result.

    Cellular Zeolite is a powerful detoxifier and viral killer that can only be of benefit to someone with candida and high levels of mercury.

    Hi Dan,

    I thought you might want to know that I have used Zeolite for about eight months to have completely cleansed my body from Mercury and metals. I started with 10 drops three times a day and in the last two months increased to 20 drops. Zeolite has cleaned up all mercury in my back and shoulders specially around my spine!! It is a gift from Heaven. I see a European Chiropractor and he can test my body for Mercury and Amalgam using muscle testing. He gave me a clean bill now. I have no metals, fungus, he tested me for many bacteria and viruses and I was clean of everything!! I feel so much better and have a lot more energy. I thought you might want to know that since I learned about Zeolite on your website!!

    Thanks,

    Chris

    This is the cheapest place to buy cellular zeolites that I have been able to find. I recommend you start at 3 drops 3 x a day as long as you can stand the cleansing reaction. Your goal, if you want to be like Chris above, is to work up to 20 drops 2 x a day for 30 days. That will completely clean your body of everything.

    Metal and mercury poisoning treatment should be done right along with the yeast infection treatment found here.

    The best way to verify if you have high mercury levels is by a Fecal Toxic Metals Test because most mercury and other metals are detoxed through the colon. If you test high or in the high normal range for metals, then you need to reduce those levels to bring candida yeast under control.
