Why Does Mercury Exposure Appear To Be A Factor In Neurologic Diseases?
Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), Alzheimer’s Disease and Autism can all be related to mercury exposure. An experiment done at the Univ. Of Calgary School of Medicine was published in Neuro Report on March 26, 2001. This research examined exposure of metals to live snail brains. Snail brain tissue is indistinguishable from human brain tissue and contains the same proteins and tissues as human brain. Cadmium, lead, manganese and other metals caused no changes. When mercury was applied in the form of vapor the outer coat (myelin sheath) surrounding the nerve fiber was immediately stripped away from the nerve fiber. The myelin sheath is responsible for the protection and the nutrition supplied to the nerve fiber. Without this support tissue the exposed nerves can readily make improper connections and fail to work. The sites injured in this manner lead to the symptoms experienced by the patient.
