Other Common Questions
From MercuryTalk
Below are answers to common questions we receive.
- You have mentioned Algin can reduce symptoms of amalgam illness even with fillings still in. This assumes we are constantly eliminating minute amounts of mercury daily. Why/how does mercury store in tissues/brain.
Because mercury binds strongly to sulphur which is abundant in proteins (cysteine) and many tissues, including the brain. Some is eliminated but there are several factors that differ from one person to the next that determine how much (APOE Genotypes, testerone levels, diet, etc).
- Why don't we just eliminate toxins through normal pathways?
90% of mercury excreted leaves via liver (feces), 10% via urine (kidneys) under normal, non-chelation conditions, so it does leave through "normal" pathways, just not quickly in many people.
- Will taking Algin interfere with nutritional absorption from food, or from dietary supplements.
Yes. Algin is very absorbent and will interfere somewhat with food and supplement ingestion. Take Algin away from supplements and away from food when possible.
- Any contraindication with antidepressant use?
None that I know of. Just be sure to follow the rule above.
- Can selenium really help?
Yes. Selenium is a mercury chelator and is depleted by mercury, plus, it's very important to the body.
- You mentioned coal burning plants triggering symptoms- which algin corrected. We have a coal burning steamship on our lake which plumes smoke high and comes through our windows (at library 1k downwind) at least twice a day (strong smell) for about 20 mins each time.
Unfortunatley, if it burns coal, it's likely to contain mercury.
- Is this a problem or negligible for added mercury exposure. Im thinking mercury is heavier than air and so would not drift that far with smoke?
Based on our research, and much to our surprise, mercury once vaporized, seems to float around quite a bit, but is a little like dry ice in that it eventually settles to low space. It does seem to be more fluent than dry ice however.
