Mercury toxicity is  serious health threat and needs at least consideration in most neurological illness, depression etc. We all have different exposure levels and different abilities to detoxify mercury so each person has to be considered individually. To keep this article short here I am going to reference a good article by Dr. Mark Hyman on what you should know about mercury toxicity.http://bit.ly/pmSyqj    Even his article is long so if you want the short attention span version scroll to the bottom of the article for the '10 truths and tips about mercury toxicity'.

How do we approach this issue at Winters Wellness Center?  First each person that see us fills out an online functional assessment that consists of 300 different questions that places your answers to the symptom questions into different categories such as heavy metal (mercury etc. ), nutrient deficiencies, adrenal, thyroid etc.  From this questionnaire we can determine how the body is being impacted and if metal toxicty is a priority or if something else could be the priority. If we determine from this and your health history that mercury or other metals metals may be a priority issue then we can test.

The tests involve testing if the immune system is reacting to metals thru a blood test called MELISA. The second test involves taking a substance DMSA which binds to mercury and other metals and measuring the metals that are excreted into the urine over the next 6 hours. If either of these tests show a problem we have very safe and gentle ways to help the body rid itself of this toxic burden and lay the groundwork for health restoratrion to occur.Again mercury toxicity is a serious problem - get more details in this article  http://bit.ly/pmSyqj  If you want to see if mercury and metal toxicity maybe impacting your health we have the tools and experience at Winters Wellness Center to help you.
