Other heavy metals that cause a lot of health problems are aluminium,
cadmium, and lead. We are exposed to these, with mercury, in our daily environments, in abundant quantities, through
motor exhaust, cosmetics, cooking utensils, cleaning products, and other.
Many people working in the motor and other industries are exposed to high
levels of toxic metals. Likewise the many men and women who serve in the armed forces, where numerous noxious substances are
used.
It is not easy to remove mercury from the tissues once it has accumulated.
It can be taken up by the body in replacement of other minerals such as calcium, as these become depleted by the biochemical
activity of the mercury itself. When this happens, the mercury is not just an unwelcome visitor, it is an intrinsic part of
the structure of cell tissues.
However, it IS possible to remove, even when it has become deeply imbedded,
although it will take time, effort, and money.
On a positive note, since the early nineties, far more has been understood
about the widespread affliction of mercury poisoning, and doctors, biochemists, naturopaths and scientists throughout the
world have worked hard to make available the information needed to understand the problem, as well as to turn it around.
Removing Amalgam Fillings
If you suspect mercury poisoning may be an important part of your own health
picture, please research the subject thoroughly before having the amalgam removed from your mouth.
I.Try to find a practitioner
able to test
a)whether mercury is indeed
a factor
b)what replacement materials your body
will be able to tolerate.
This is important because one of the consequences of mercury poisoning
is an acute biochemical sensitivity to everything, resulting in allergies to foods, chemicals, etc. Some
of the materials being developed as a replacement to mercury may cause your over-sensitised system to react, so you need to
first identify ones that you will tolerate.
II. You also need to find a
dentist who has a more than superficial understanding of the problem, and
a) will remove the old fillings
in the appropriate order, and
b) protect you from inhaling
vapour and particles while the process is being carried out. Please read the following page re this :
Jonathan Frewing B.A.(Hons), Dip.FCT, based in East Sussex, can help on all aspects
of removing mercury from your body. See his contact details towards the end of this page.
Hesham El-Essawy is a highly
experienced dentist in Central London, who has been deeply involved in both dignified dentistry (also as tutor), and
the issue of mercury, having himself suffered serious health problems because of mercury. You can find out more about him,
and how to contact, by visiting
III. You will need proper
after care, ideally from a practitioner who understands the importance of rest, healing nutrition, and the lymphatic
system.
You will need an exceptionally nutritious food regimen, because the body
uses vitamins and minerals to chelate (bind) the mercury released from deposits in the body. Without these vitamins and minerals,
you will not effectively remove stored deposits from the tissue. High quality products for super-nutrition can be found at
Also very important is to take something which will absorb the mercury
from the intestinal wall, and evacuate it through the bowel. Otherwise, it may be re-absorbed from the intestine back into
the bloodstream and in this way taken back up by organs and other tissues, including the brain.
Psyllium husks will help :
1 tsp of husks soaked for five minutes in water, juice, or other liquid,
both night and morning, will help a lot.

IV. Things that may Help
Ethos footpads
These mix powdered crystals, herbs, bamboo vinegar, and other ingredients,
which are kept on the soles of the feet overnight, and draw toxins out of the body via the feet.

Noni Juice
This is the juice of the fruit of a tree that grows in Tahiti and some
other islands of the South Pacific. The juice has undergone considerable scientific testing, which has shown it to contain
remarkable 'adaptogenic' properties. This means that it helps the body to set itself to rights, in a general rather than a
specific way, which can however produce improvement of a specific nature. Having used it myself, I can vouch for its marvelous
healing capacity.
The products available in the UK are not all of a high quality however.
My preferred source is :
Chlorella
In particular, Prime Chlorella, is a form of cultivated
algae similar to Spirulina. It contains an exceptionally high nutritional spectrum, and this form has its
shell cracked using a technique which does no damage to the nutritional content, yet renders that more readily absorbable.
This is the site of Alex Howard, 0845.226.1762, and is
worth visiting.
This site provides lots more information, including some less well known
products that may help a lot.
An extract of special seaweed with extraordinary benefits to health. The
site also has good information about mercury poisoning.
V. More Information
Good general information on mercury and its insidious dangers.
This is the site of the World Natural Health Organisation :
This is a husband and wife team providing a very comprehensive array of
treatment of the mouth, and the whole body, where mercury or previous dentistry work has seriously affected the health. Much
of their expertise comes from Sweden, where mercury in dentistry has been banned for many years. The site also includes a
fantastic resource on mercury and its dangers. They are based in Hertfordshire, UK.
This site gives the personal experience (tortuous) of Clover Kreger, who
has struggled for years with chronic fatigue syndrome. It includes much useful information.
VI. Testing for Mercury and Other Toxicity
a)Mechanical
During the latter part of the last century, scientists and doctors throughout
the world began to discover ways of testing the human being which yielded subtle and extremely useful information which could
then inform the choice of remedy. This work developed out of acupuncture, homeopathy, and biophysics.
The Vega machine was one of the earlier pieces of equipment available on
the market, and was initially used to determine allergies. Since those days (the eighties), a wealth of more refined technology
has evolved.
The following links may help you learn about these, as well as find
a practitioner who can test you.
This one gives a good overview of what this form of testing is - an Australian
site.
This is a company producing equipment, in the USA - some useful information.
This is a clinic in Petersfield, Hampshire. I cannot vouch for their effectiveness,
not having had their treatment myself. There are more and more clinics of this nature appearing on the UK scene, as the whole
problem of environmental toxicity has become more understood, and the equipment accessible.
Here you will find biographies of some of the key developers of quantum
medicine equipment and lots of other helpful and interesting stuff. Some parts of the site were 'under development' when I
visited. There is also a link to some very helpful articles.
Quite a mixture - you will need to search for the useful bits, but they
are there.
This is a group of medical personnel working with doctors specifically
to test for underlying metal or other environmental causes to health problems. Highly regarded.
A hospital (UK) that was founded by Dr Jean Munro, one of the first medical
doctors to voice the view that allergies were real, (rather than 'all in the mind'), and becoming increasingly common
as a result of environmental pollution. It has many years experience with patients suffering even extreme symptoms such as
schizophrenia, etc.
b)Human Touch
Kinesiology was developed by Dr John Thie, in the sixties,
as a way of testing for imbalances that were weakening local and general body function. He called his method Touch
For Health. As more researchers entered the field, Touch For Health was developed into a range of approaches, which
all had as their key concept the understanding that the body itself can tell us what is making it ill, and what will help
it recover, via the strong-weak responses of neuro-muscular pathways.
It is possible to learn how to test yourself, as well as others, using
the basic tool of locating a strong muscle, exposing it (which may mean just thinking of the thing) to a material you want
to test, then challenging the muscle to see whether it has remained strong, or has become weak. The muscle becomes weak if
the substance (or thought/feeling) has a negative effect upon the organism.
However, this method is not necessarily applied with true skill. To do
so, the practitioner needs to be able to maintain a neutral mental and emotional and physical state themselves, as their own
thoughts can affect the outcome of a test. Many people use the test without this understanding.
The following site is the home of a professional UK organisation of long
standing. It does have a search facility to find a practitioner in your area. If you wish to follow this route, do ring the
practitioner first and find out as much as you can about their approach, and experience - specifically whether they have tested
for multiple environmentally-related toxicity. You need someone who can relinquish their own preferences, instead approaching
work with you entirely from the attitude of 'what does this person need' and 'how can I best provide that?'.
I am including this site because although it primarily gives information
on training (which some visitors to 'Help Yourself To Health' may want to undertake!), it also is a link
to a very interesting form of testing and treatment. Dr Savely Yurkovsky,
originally from the Ukraine and working in the US, has evolved a method of testing closely related to kinesiology, yet which removes
the risk of subjective distortion of results, very quickly discovers the priority for treatment, and treats using a special
range of homeopathic and herbal remedies. The principle is that any treatment for environmentally related illness needs not
only to identify the key toxin, but especially to return the cell 'terrain', or environment, to a condition in which it has
the vitality to effectively remove that toxin.
Jonathan Frewing
B.A.(Hons) based in East Grinstead, East Sussex, England, uses Dr Yurkovsky's method, and is highly recommended. He has a knowledge
of the subject that is both broad and detailed, including the specifics of nutritional treatment which are of crucial importance.
He is able to identify key organs with reduced function, and find the exact remedies to give them the necessary support. His
number is :

One of the many effects of mercury poisoning is that the myelin sheath
protecting the nerve fibres of the brain and nervous system, are unable to regenerate themselves. Electrical impulses travelling
along the fibres may jump fibre, resulting in a shorting out of messages to muscles, organs, and other parts of the brain.
Good recovery requires that this state is attended to by the highest possible quality of concentrated nutrition, which MUST
include absorbable essential fatty acids such as organic, virgin coconut oil, and deep rest free from stimuli of a mental,
emotional or physical nature.
