  • The biological clock gets thrown out of whack as a person can shift from an early bird to a night owl

    Organ health and mercury poisoning symptoms can include:

  • 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
  • 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.

    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 through 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.

    How Do We Get Poisoned With Mercury?

    Most people associate mercury poisoning with the silver metal amalgam dental fillings that were in widespread use up until recently. These fillings are a very common source of mercury poisoning because many of them do leak, especially if they have been in your mouth for over 10 years.

    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 thimerosal (mercury) as its preservative.

    Thimerosal was and is used in many products as a preservative. Antiseptic gels, contact lense solutions, hemorrhoid creams, lubricating gels and vaginal contraceptives.

    Tuna, swordfish, shellfish, and shark are all loaded with high mercury levels.

    Some other mercury poisoning 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, mercurochrome, photo-engraving, skin lightening cream, suppositories, wood preservatives, hair dyes, batteries, Preperation H, solvent-thinned paints, and latex paints. 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.

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