It somewhat confirms a suspicion of why people start gaining fat. Maybe the fat is a way to get pollutants isolated away from the body when the body can't expel them.

Desert Eagle Posted January 28, 2009 wow I read at mercola's site that HFCS is bad sugar but reading that it has mercury rather surprised me. I also read about chocolate having heavy metals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gendao Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) The problem with all this added exposure is that mercury bioaccumulates in us over time. Which means that if your mercury intake > your output, you will have a growing problem on your hands. Â Worse off, our brains are basically mercury sponges and most any mercury we absorb gets converted into inorganic Hg2+ mercury and often stored there. Â Meanwhile, the pineal gland is also a fluoride sponge. Â Â So, I think for health and spiritual growth reasons, it is important to reduce exposure to and chelate these 2 toxic substances out. That we now get "extra" exposure to in our industrialized society. Â Right now, I'm trying 3-10mg of supplemental boron daily and tamarind to flush F out. Â Chelating mercury out is trickier and riskier. You need to really know what you're doing before you attempt this, or you could just redistribute mercury around your body. Typically, people use EDTA, Zeolite, DMPS or DMSA & ALA in accordance with specific protocols. It can be a slow, incremental process that can easily take at least 6 months or more. And it's definitely not something you even want to attempt if you still have mercury amalgam fillings... This stuff is in ketchup, bread (to include wheat), and soda.

Exactly, the body is known to encapsulate toxins just like an oyster does to form pearls. I venture to guess that this might be one basic operative mechanism behind some weight gain, cancerous tumors and excess calcifications.

I don't know how proven it is yet, but as I said, I do find it quite plausible... In fact, I think detoxing is going to be the next "yoga" (yuppie health trend) in 5 years.

Â let me know how removing fluoride/mercury works out for you. i don't brush my teeth with toothpaste anymore and if the boron works for you i'll check it out too.
