[size 4]You have heard all the bunk about mercury, now here is the truth...[/size]
[size 4][/size]
[size 4]what you havent been told is the sorce of the dangerous mercury that every one has been screaming about... and no it is not from coal burning plants as stated, it is a natural acuring event.[/size]
[size 4][/size]
[size 4]You may need to be a chemist to understand the chemical compounds, you dont need to be a chemist to understand that your body can create Organic Mercury the most dangerous type of mercury. [/size]
[size 4][/size]
[size 4]Mercury by these sorces is the least of your wories, for there are far more dangerous heavy metals.[/size]
[size 4][/size]
[size 4]This sorce dose talk about dental mercury but that is not the dangerous type, but is a health risk.[/size]

[size 4]at the bottom of this post I will provide links to my sorces. You will do well to look them up.... [/size]

[size 4]Organic And Inorganic Mercury
There are two kinds of mercury. The simple one atom (Hg is the chemical symbol) mercury is called "Inorganic Mercury". The other type of mercury is called "Organic Mercury". The Organic mercury is more dangerous since it can easily penetrate cell walls, is easily absorbed in fatty tissues, and is easily absorbed into nerve and brain cells. For this reason, some feel Organic mercury is 100 times more dangerous than Inorganic mercury. The word "organic" refers to something that connects well to life.
The Organic Mercury is a mercury atom attached to a CH3 molecule (carbon + 2 hydrogen atoms). CH3 is called a "methyl group". The mercury from fish is Organic mercury and it's chemical symbol is CH3HgCH3. Another kind of Organic mercury is one that is produced in the body by mixing Thiolmethyl Transferase (an enzyme, abbreviated THT), [/size][url "http://www.beatcfsandfms.org/html/HealYourGut.html#gutgas"]H2S[/url][size 4] (gas fermented in gut), a methyl donor (someone who donates CH3) to get CH3SH; and then the CH3SH mixes with Inorganic Mercury (Hg) to get CH3SHgSH3C, which is a form of Inorganic mercury. The THT enzyme steps is actually needed to detoxify the poisonous H2S gas to get it out of the body. When the Hg picks up the CH3 to become Organic, it is said to have been "methylated". In this example, the H2S gut gas "methylated" the mercury. Mercury in the body is usually "methylated" in the colon, since that is where it picks up the chemistry to do it. And, since the H2S originates from bad gut bacteria or fungi, one could say that these indirectly methylate mercury -- just one more another reason to heal your gut. Also, it is possible that one can have inorganic mercury from amalgam in their body for many years without symptoms, and only get into trouble when their gut starts to produce H2S gas from bad bacteria or fungi, and subsequently starts to methylate the Hg into the CH3 Organic form of mercury.
Other Heavy Metals
Other heavy metals such as Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Tin, Barium, and Nickel are extremely dangerous if not more dangerous than mercury; subsequently it is recommended that one test for all heavy metals when they do the DMSA challenge and the Hair Analysis tests. One may think they don't have arsenic, for example, because that was in a movie based on a play and it is unlikely someone fed them a poison. It turns out that Arsenic can be found in cigarettes, brake fluids, auto exhaust, diesel fumes, and paint. In fact, many heavy metals can be found in paint.[/size]

[size 4]what it dosnt do is provide information why one lake is contaminated with mercury and every body of water down river conected to that lake is not contaminated nor are the fish which can swim freely from lake to river to lake.... that one has me scratching my head....[/size]
