I just had a mercury test of my hair which measured in at 1.01 (1.0 or less being the U.S. government suggested target value). I also had all fillings removed and changed to composite 3 years ago (fatigue for about half a year afterward - feel great now). There is a specific protocol recommended by a friend who suggests eating cilantro with raw fat (raw cream is good) to help chelate heavy metals out of the body over time. Mercury crosses the blood-brain barrier so it is a good idea to keep mercury levels way down due to the neurological damage it can do. Do you eat deep sea fish a lot? You may want to cut back on certain fish and emphasize other fish / shellfish known to have less mercury (search the Internet for fish mercury lists, etc.) If not from fish then there could be another environmental circumstance (past or present) that might be affecting you. For example, as a child, I played with mercury thermometers, broke them, and used the mercury to shine up pennies and dimes (using my fingers). I'm sure I got plenty of mercury into my system due to my youthful ignorance. Then there are other sources: energy production (coal burning), manufacturing, etc. Regards, -=mark=- Kristina Carlton wrote: >[snip] > >I have a lab result that indicates my mercury level is 32.4 while the normal range is 0 – 12.
