Effects of Mercury
In The Gut
Disables DPPIV enzyme (which breaks down casein and gluten) -->
undigested casein and gluten leaks into the bloodstream and the brain
Damages gut lining --> "Leaky Gut" Syndrome
In The Brain
Increased oxidative stress, glutathione depletion --> Neurodegenerative
Diseases
Mercury binds to and disables enzymes and structural proteins (neuronal
tubulin) --> brain cells vulnerable to toxins
Mercury is neuroimmunotoxic causing production of autoantibodies (IgG) to
neuroproteins and myelin basic protein
Organic mercury is detrimental to sensory functions, motor functions, and
cognitive abilities
In The Immune System
Adversely affect lymphocytes (decreased cellular response) -->
less ability to fight viruses, parasites, yeast, and bad bacteria (causing
frequent infections)
Increased humoral response: induces autoimmunity (allergy within self)
and overreaction to innocuous foreign material (allergy to environment,
food, and chemicals)
