About Mercury Toxicity

Mercury toxicity can cause depression, arthritis, dermatitis, dizziness, fatigue, gum disease, hair loss, excessive saliva, memory loss, muscle weakness and insomnia.  High levels can cause brain damage, blindness and paralysis.  Mercury is a cumulative poison which is found in our soil, water and food supply, as well as fungicides and pesticides.  Large fish are particularly suspect.  Mercury is also found in cosmetics, dental fillings, fabric softeners, printer inks and tattoo ink, plastics, polishes, solvents, wood preservatives, and even some medications!
