I’ve heard of people having mercury poisoning and not knowing about it, but I never looked into it. Now I have.
It’s very possible that I could have it. You can have it too and not know it.
I’ll list the symptoms below but before I do let me ask you – do you have dental fillings?
If so, chances are that you have amalgam fillings in your mouth. Amalgam fillings are made from a mixture of metals (mercury, silver, tin, zinc, copper) and mercury makes up 50% of the filling content.
Chances are that mercury has been seeping into your system for the whole time you’ve had the fillings – that could be years or even decades!
It’s serious because the symptoms, when weighed individually, can easily be overlooked or mistaken for something else.
For example, if you’re irritable, moody, prone to depression, or indecisive, these could be the result of neurological disorder brought on by mercury-laced dental fillings, not a symptom of a ”personality disorder.” If you deal with allergies, high or low blood pressure, or halitosis, again, the cause can be mercury poisoning.
In addition, over the course of a lifetime mercury poisoning could cause serious neurological damage resulting in symptoms that collectively could be identified as multiple sclerosis.

The solution begins with removing the dentures as soon as possible and replacing them with non-amalgam fillings, like gold or ceramic.
Then, you’d have to undergo a detox to rid the body of all traces of mercury in your body.
I’ll share more as I learn more and go through my cleansing program.
