| That's the secret of health. Mind, ,spirit ,body, diet and environment are oft times imbalanced by very minute changes over along periods of time. Such is the case with mercury and other heavy metals available from multiple sources. Some people are little effected while others manifest symptoms that defy conventional diagnosis and treatment. From hair dyes to frequent eating of fish , to smoke stack emissions, to mercury based Fillings ,to vaccines with thimerosol, to broken thermometers, to broken fluorescent bulbs, to playing with liquid mercury , we are all exposed in various ways to this most toxic of elements whether in its methyl form , its vapor form ,its liquid form or combined form in amalgam . Often it is a matter of a small exposure that puts the patients health over the line | |
