Written by Amy Myers, MD It is estimated that fibromyalgia affects nearly 6 million or 1 in 50 people, causing chronic pain, particularly muscle pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, brain fog, or cognitive impairment, depression, and painful tender points throughout the body. Not surprisingly, conventional medicine focuses only on managing symptoms through pain medications and antidepressants. […]
Exposure resulted from consumption of fish during pregnancy or early life by Nancy Walsh, Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today July 09, 2019 Exposure to heavy metals through fish consumption in utero or during the first year of life was associated with a five-fold increased risk of subsequent development of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), Swedish researchers […]
JUNE 19, 2014 BY WESTON A PRICE FOUNDATION The FDA has long denied any harm from amalgam (mercurybased) dental fillings but a new study cites FDA data to demonstrate the fact that dental amalgam may indeed cause mercury poisoning in genetically susceptible children. The finding arises from a reanalysis of a key clinical trial cited […]
Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O.,D.A.C.B.N., MS, CFMP For over 30 years it has been known that many conditions treated by surgery could be totally cured with pennies worth of nutrients. But there’s no money in pennies of nutrients. Surgeon Dr. John Ellis wrote extensively about how vitamin B6 cleared the majority of carpal tunnel syndromes, and […]
By James P. Meschino, DC, MS In modern society, we are constantly exposed to heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury. These heavy metals have no essential biochemical roles in our body, and conversely, can cause us a great deal of harm if they build up to toxic levels. They bind to our tissues, […]
Here is an interesting article by Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. A growing body of medical literature has discovered the damaging effects of mercury on endothelial (the inner lining of blood vessels) function and vascular smooth muscle function. Mercury induces mitochondrial dysfunction with reduction in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), depletion of glutathione, and increased lipid […]
Date: September 22, 2016 Source: CNRS (Délégation Paris Michel-Ange) Summary: Mercury is a potent neurotoxin present in our daily lives and our body can accumulate it over the years. Food consumption, such as fish and rice, is the most common source of mercury exposure. Mercury can be found in dental amalgams, compact fluorescence lamps, vaccines, […]
Silver fillings, also called amalgams, are one of the most toxic and health damaging dental materials ever developed. Made up of approximately 50% liquid mercury with the remainder a powdered combination of silver, tin, copper, zinc and other metals, amalgams lodged in a person’s mouth over time have the very real potential to slowly but surely […]
Robert Lowes July 29, 2015 In January 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) appeared ready to prohibit the use of mercury-based dental fillings, or dental amalgam, in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children aged less than 6 years, and other groups considered sensitive to the metal’s neurotoxic vapors. The agency also was ready to […]
Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Mercury toxicity is the great mimicker of a host of health challenges. Here is a sample of what one should know about mercury toxicity. 1: Mercury is known to denervate nerve fibers, similar to the pathology of multiple sclerosis. In other words it makes it so the nerves do […]
For over 30 years it has been known that many conditions treated by surgery could be totally cured with pennies worth of nutrients. But there’s no money in pennies of nutrients. Surgeon Dr. John Ellis wrote extensively about how vitamin B6 cleared the majority of carpal tunnel syndromes, and other clinicians confirmed this. The normal […]
Date: January 21, 2015 Source: University of Rochester Medical Center Summary: The benefits of fish consumption on prenatal development may offset the risks associated with mercury exposure, new findings from research in the Seychelles suggests. In fact, the new study suggests that the nutrients found in fish have properties that protect the brain from the […]
Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Can’t lose weight no matter what? Could the weight loss culprit be something as inconspicuous as mercury build-up in your body? It is widely accepted that metal toxicity can impair neuroendocrine function. Simply put, this means that normal thyroid function can be impaired from toxic metals such as mercury, […]
Published: Jun 10, 2014 | Updated: Jun 10, 2014 By Kristina Fiore, Staff Writer, MedPage Today Pregnant women should eat at least 8 ounces of fish each week, which puts a floor — not just a ceiling — on the amount of seafood these women should consume, the FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced […]
Genetic polymorphisms of catechol-o-methyltransferase modify the neurobehavioral effects of mercury in children. Woods JS, et al. J Toxicol Environ Health A. 2014;77(6):293-312. doi: 10.1080/15287394.2014.867210. Abstract Mercury (Hg) is neurotoxic and children may be particularly susceptible to this effect. A current major challenge is identification of children who may be uniquely susceptible to Hg toxicity because […]
The Lancet Volume 13, No. 3, p330–338, March 2014 Dr Philippe Grandjean, MD Summary Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide, and some diagnoses seem to be increasing in frequency. Industrial chemicals that injure the developing brain are among the known causes for this rise […]
