What is Mercury Toxicity?
Dr. Huggins poses some questions that you might ask: “Am I mercury toxic? Can you test my mercury levels? Just what is mercury toxicity anyway? These are common and confusing questions. Mercury attacks many systems in the body. If it attacked just one, like the polio virus or measles virus do, it would be quite easy to identify. The diagnosis of mercury toxicity is based on both the number of changes and the degree of these changes. White blood cells usually increase as a response to the introduction of amalgam. If these cells go up from 5000 count to 7000 count, this is not especially notable. If the count goes from 5000 to 50,000, then we are talking about leukemia. This is quite notable. The white cell count bears much more weight in diagnosis at 50,000 than 7,000. Many measurable areas can be affected by mercury. Excerpting from our 1989 edition of the Applications Textbook, here are some of the mental gymnastics involved in generating a diagnosis: Consider: White cells above 7500
