Mercury Poisoning: The Undiagnosed Epidemic

Excellent overview of the deleterious effects of mercury poisoning, and the ways that one can mitigate physical and emotional repercussions through a specific chelation regime. Put more simply, David Hammond provides both a thorough problem statement, and an avenue through which you can find a solution (healing). The author was personally affected by mercury-containing switches at a car smelting facility where he worked, and was able to rid himself of a good measure of the toxicity burden he was carrying.Let's face it, we are exposed to myriad toxins in our modern environment, but mercury is one of the most dangerous. It magnifies the effects of other toxins as well due to "synergistic toxicity" as the author explains.Clearly written, well documented, and easy to read -- David Hammond has provided an important resource and guidepost for those of us dealing with Mercury exposure. As compelling as I found each chapter, I still had to put the book down frequently to consider the implications, and deal with my own upset regarding the exposures and effects I have endured.

As someone with 5 amalgam fillings, I purchased this book to learn about how mercury affects my health. It was extremely eye opening to learn about the toxicity of mercury. Highly recommend this book.

Having been diagnosed with mercury poisoning and having had to immerse myself in research for several years, I enthusiastically applaud this book. Mr. Hammond has done an excellent job in tracking down reliable data, evidence, and solid backing to show what patients have known or suspected all along--that mercury is more of a problem than most people would guess, especially with vaccines that DO cause autism, mercury amalgam dental fillings, and the pollution in our environment. As a patient who endured horrific years of suffering until an accurate medical diagnosis was found, I think countless thousands of patients will come to rely on this book to regain their health. This book is well written and is easy to assimilate the understanding of how mercury is affecting us and how to recognize the misinformation that HMO's with a profit-driven agenda have been misleading us. This book is an excellent companion book to Dr. Andrew Cutler's book, "Amalgam Illness."

This is an easy to read book on mercury poisoning. It is mostly based on the work of Andrew Cuttler and his protocol on treating mercury. This book is a much easier book to read and understand than the Cuttler book however it does not have the comprehensive information in it that the Cuttler book has. This Protocol seems to be a popular grass roots movement that is taking the treatment of mercury poisoning into the hands of the individual and not the health care provider. The protocol is fairly easy to follow although can be challenging to actually implement - you have to take supplements every three hours for at least three days (with days off)-- and this can go on for a couple of years. There is very little actual research on the most effective way to reduce the body burden of mercury - although Cuttler explains this protocol with a lot of science. There are many different (and conflicting) protocols that are advocated in both books and from health care professionals to reduce mercury - this book does not cover anything other than the Cuttler protocol. This approach has a loyal following that you can join in Yahoo groups. Overall, this is a solid, east to read book on the subject.

I had been having bouts of vertigo, anxiety, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, sleeplessness, one time I was driving on the freeway, and felt as if I was driving upside down. Had to stop the carImmediately. Terrifying. I knew something was drastically wrong. I went to my physician, who gave me typical medications for those ailments, but nothing was effective. A friend had suggested I see her integrative doctor, and the high lab results are attached. I can’t tell you how valuable this book has been for me. Get it, it will change you life.Oh and don’t eat tuna sashimi 3x/week for a year like I did.

This is a great, comprehensive book. The author takes inspiration from his own extraordinary life experience and uses that to fuel his journey through the published literature in a desperate attempt to resolve his serious and wide-ranging symptoms. He does a very good job of synthesising the research and presenting it concisely and clearly. The concerns he raises about our exposure to heavy metals is very convincing and more than a little scary. Fortunately, he also documents approaches to remedying the problem.

This book was an easy and excellent read, people that are mercury toxic have a very hard time comprehending anything, never mind how to get healthy, and most who read this book are reading it for a reason, trying to get healthy, so to Charles Ashbacher, your statements are insulting, its obvious that you, if there is a you? have never been mercury toxic, otherwise you would take any help you could get, as for the book, it was written perfectly, short chapters so as not to confuse the toxic mind and one could learn and also look back to reference with ease. Hopefully it will be banned permanently and our children and grandchildren can live the life they were supposed to and not be robbed like we were, hence the reason David wrote the book. Keep fighting the fight and Mercury Poisoning is a great weapon in this war, good luck

An extraordinarily good book, full of fascinating and critically important information, it's not a wishy washy book full of new age conspiracies, it's the opposite, based on ruthless examination of scientific evidence. Because of the all pervasive occurrence of toxic metals, and other toxic substances, in the modern world, this book has life-changing advice for everyone. It has information I have never come across before, and I think anyone who reads this book is definitely doing themselves a great favour. Although based on in depth study of scientific research the writer, through his mastery of the subject, has a light and easy style which makes the subject matter easy to understand.

Go low and slow and careful main advice with a detailed chelation protocol. Tons of information on different metals, chemicals and hormones relate and how to recognize, diagnose and treat heavy metal toxicity.

I am mercury toxic and am presently treating myself using the Cutler Protocol. If you are here because you're wondering if you or a loved one have mercury poisoning but you don't know what the Cutler Protocol is yet, read this book and that essential information will be revealed to you.David Hammond's excellent, scrupulously researched, comprehensive, well-written and accessible book addresses the Cutler Protocol in detail, and every other topic you need to be aware of when getting on to the steep learning curve that mercury poisoning engenders. It's academically rigorous and profuse in citations.Find out exactly what mercury does, how and why it's become such a problem, how to get tested for it, how to treat it and more.I suggest reading this and Daniel Forsyth's first-person account The Mercury Diaries before heading deeper into the subject. Although they take very different approaches, they are both excellent primers that will get you properly acquainted with the story of mercury's malign spread from industry and medicine through the environment. It will also educate you about the illness(es) mercury causes and tell you what you need to do to make yourself better.NB: I'm seven months into self-treatment (Cutler Protocol) and while there's some way to go yet I am seeing gains.UPDATE: Nearly two years now since starting the Cutler Protocol. Major improvements, unquestionably.

If, like me, you've suffered from various seemingly unconnected but chronic illnesses and health challenges for many years, you may find in this book the single strand that links them all together. And, more importantly, you may finally find a way to resolve them once and for all. Mercury poisoning is pervasive, difficult to diagnose and masquerades as, or is commonly misdiagnosed as, many different chronic conditions, often causing years of suffering. However it can be resolved via chelation which, while not a quick-fix, is effective and safe if conducted in the right way.The book is clear and well written, presenting lots of diagnostic information, research, symptoms descriptions & case histories, and instructions on how to implement Dr Andrew Cutler's chelation protocol, widely recognised as safest and most effective chelation protocol available. Whilst anyone deciding to embark on chelation will probably want to get hold of a copy of Cutler's 'Amalgam Illness' for more in-depth detail, this book provides more than enough information to facilitate diagnosis and get started. It also provides a good overview of the topics discussed in 'Amalgam Illness'; which can be quite heavy going for those unfamiliar with the condition.

Well written, easy read.
