Effects of Mercury Exposure throughout the Lifespan - Sara Russell (March 2017)

Apr 20, 2017
“Effects of Mercury Exposure throughout the Lifespan” by Sara Russell was presented on March 16, 2017 at Silicon Valley Health Institute.

Her statement in newsletter:

"In this talk, I aim to present an introduction of the effects of mercury exposure through the human lifespan. Because mercury bio-accumulates during our individual lifespans as well as bio-accumulating from generation to generation via in utero exposure, each generation becomes potentially more mercury toxic than the previous one. This is particularly the case since the introduction of amalgam fillings approximately 150 years ago, which remain the most significant source of mercury exposure both for those of us who have directly have them placed in our mouths and to those of us who have been exposed indirectly, via in-utero exposure to mercury from exposed mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers.
Of course, there are other sources of mercury, and I will discuss the most common ones. Additionally, mercury not only bio-accumulates, passing from mother to offspring in utero, but mercury exposure pre-conception in either parent can alter the offspring’s epigenetics, increasing susceptibility to mercury’s effects throughout life.
I will discuss common signs and symptoms of mercury toxicity, noting that precisely because of mercury’s wide-ranging mechanism of toxicity, these symptoms may appear somewhat vague and each can definitely have etiologies other than or in addition to mercury."
