Symptoms of Mercury Toxicity

This is a non-profit site offering educational information and broad based research on various health conditions, medications, supplements and therapies. In addition, this site provides information on how to naturally improve overall health, strengthen the immune system, and slow the aging process. There is a list of physicians who use alternative treatments, a newsletter and book review section, and a product guide. To access this site: Click on the link above or at the bottom of this page.

As I researched the symptoms of mercury toxicity, I could not find a complete list of symptoms anywhere so, in an effort not to reinvent the wheel, I included two links on my Links Page under Health Conditions.

The first link, "Dangers of Organic Mercury like that used in vaccinations" is missing the symptoms listed under #1 below. The second link, "Symptoms of Mercury Toxicity from mercury vapor exposure in dental amalgams" is missing the symptoms listed under #2 below. Please be sure to check out these two links to complete the list of symptoms for Mercury Toxicity. There is also a lot more information on each site that may interest you.

I also included four more links on the Links Page under Alternative Medicine. "Is Mercury Toxicity an Autoimmune Disorder?" by Keith W. Sehnert, MD, Gary Jacobson, DDS, and Kip Sullivan, JD, is a good overview of the situation listing still more symptoms associated with mercury toxicity.

The "Mercury Toxicity Analyst" is a very detailed list of symptoms with links to explanations of various terms, substances and causes. If you think you really have mercury toxicity, you can find your symptoms here and delve into them at a deeper level.

"Hope for Mercury Amalgam Poisoning" by William Campbell Douglass, covers how DMSA (di-mercapto-succinic-acid) that’s approved for lead poisoning, helps rid the body of mercury as well.

For the person who just wants a quick and simple way to find out if they have a problem with mercury toxicity, the "Mercury/Toxic Metal Sensitivity Questionnaire" is the place to go. It offers 30 easy "yes or no" questions. If you answer yes to five or more questions, it should alert you that you might have a problem that you may want to research further.

Good luck and good health,
