- * Mercury penetrates the blood-brain
barrier around the brain, and as little as one part per million can impair
this barrier, permitting entry of substances in the blood that would otherwise
be excluded. Chang and Hartman, 1972; Chang and Burkholder, 1974
-
- * The effect of mercury on the nervous
system selectively inhibits protein and amino acid absorption into brain
tissue. So you get stupider and stupider. Yoshino et al.,1966; Steinwall,
1969; Steinwall and Snyder, 1969 Cavanagh and Chen, 1971
-
- * Mercury inhibits the synaptic uptake
of neurotransmitters in the brain and can produce subsequent development
of Parkinson's disease. Know any oldsters with the shakes? Ohlson and Hogstedt,
"Parkinsons Disease and Occupational Exposure to Organic Solvents,
Agricultural Chemicals and Mercury" Scandinavian Journal of Work Environment
Health Vol 7 No.4 : 252-256,1981
-
- * Mercury is nephrotoxic (toxic to the
kidneys) and causes pathological damage. Kidney damage would mean your
face would get pudgier and more edema-ridden as you got older. In fact,
all old people look alike today. None of them are recognizeable from their
photos at age 20. Nicholson et al, "Cadmium and Mercury Nephrotoxicity"
Nature Vol 304:633, 1983
-
- * Chronic exposure to mercury may cause
an excess of serum proteins in the urine which may progress to nephrotic
syndrome and peculiar susceptibility to infections that break into and
modify the course of any pre-existing disease.

after chronic exposure to inorganic mercury" Archives of Environmenal

Nephrotic Sundrome Following Exposure to Mercury" Quarterly Journal
of Medicine Vol 31: 403-418, 1962; Joselow and Goldwater, 1967 "Absorption
and Excretion of Mercury in Man and Mercury Content of "normal"
Human Tissues" Archives of Environmental Health Vol 15:64, 1967

- * Mercury fillings can contribute to
a higher level of mercury in the blood, and can affect the functioning
of the heart, change the vascular response to norepinepherine and potassium
chloride, and block the entry of calcium ions into the cytoplasm. No Calcium
in your cells you get squishy everywhere. Do I hear cellulite being mentioned?

et al, 1979
-
- * Mercury exposure from amalgams leads
to interference with brain catecholamine reactivity levels, has a pronounced
effect on the human endocrine system, and accumulates in both the thyroid
and pituitary glands, reducing production of important hormones. Without
hormones, we age, get wrinkled and die. Anything that gets into these glands
and causes glands to die deserves serious attention. Carmignani, Finelli
and Boscolo, 1983; Kosta et al, 1975; Trakhtenberg, 1974
-
- * Mercury induces the thyroid gland to
absorb an increasing amount of nuclear radiation from the environment.
Radiation triggers cancer. Trakhtenberg, 1974
-
- * Mercury can impair the adrenal and
testicular steroid hormone secretions, cause intolerance for stress and
decreased sexual ability. In rats, it causes subnormal fertility and sperm
production. The definition of an unhappy life is not to want sex and to
be screaming at each other all the time anyway. Burton and Meikle, 1980;
Khera, 1973; Stoewsand et al, 1971; Lee and Dixon, 1975; Thaxton and Parkhurst,
1973
-
- * Mercury in the body can produce contact
dermititis and reduced function of the adrenal glands (Addison's disease),
producing progressive anemia, low blood pressure, diarrhea and digestive
disturbances. Alomar et al, 1983
-
- * Mercury has a distinct effect on the
human immune system, especially the white blood cells. Mercury ions have
been observed to cause chromosomal aberrations and alters the cellular
genetic code. Mercury has the ability to induce chromosomal breakage, alter
cellular mitosis, cause a drop in T-cell production and kill white blood
cells. Maybe it's the cause of AIDS and all those kids born with birth
defects! Vershaeve et al, 1976; Popescu et al, 1979; Skerfving et al,
1970,1974; Fiskesjo, 1970
-
- * Mercury has an effect on the fetal
nervous system, even at levels far below that considered to be toxic in
adults. Background levels of mercury in mothers correlate with incidence
of fetal birth defects and still births.

- * Mercury in the human body can contribute
to intelligence disturbances, speech difficulties, limb deformity, and
hyperkinesia (hyperactivity resulting from brain damage). Abnormally small
heads and retardation were present in 60% of cases. How many hyperactive
kids in our nation today? Amin-Zaki and Clarkson, et al, 1979
