Mercury: The Mad Hatter Epidemic

Johnny Delirious, Laboratory Naturopathic Doctor • January 30, 2022

In the early 19th century in the East and in the West, Mercury was used as a medicine to treat illness. Little was known at the time about the harmful effect it had on the body. Just like blood-letting of that day, it was eventually learned that Mercury over time was not a sound or safe therapy. The common name was quicksilver because of its fluid metallic property. The gossip surrounding the dangers of its use quickly made the two-word name into a one-word slang term for the treatment that became known as quack medicine when referring to those doctors administering Mercury. In fact, the doctors who regularly used it for their patients were the ones known as “quacks.”


With over-exposure to Mercury the body can develop tremors and nervousness. In England during the 19th Century era, the hat factories used Mercury in the processing of the felt and the workers in those horrid conditions became over-exposed. This heavy metal built up in their bodies and they soon developed what they called “hatters shakes” at that time. The gossip continued about Mercury and the dangers of working in a hat factory. The famous classic novel written during that time, “Alice In Wonderland,” featured a wacky and nervous character called the “Mad Hatter.”

Needless to say, the wisdom of the street gossip began to associate Mercury with mental illness. Soon the factory owners began to limit their workers’ Mercury exposure. This was a step forward for the improvement of worker’s conditions and their lives. Will modern science and health departments teach and warn about those same dangers today? Yes, the research and warnings are there. But year after year, we seem to be exposed to Mercury more than ever!


Today, Mercury is found not just in air pollution and water, but in many products like skin creams on the market and people who continue to eat certain fish are getting an ample source of Mercury in their bodies. Even modern dentistry still uses Mercury amalgams to repair teeth. These amalgams leach Mercury into the bodies of dental patients continuously 24/7. Then we have the vaccines where some are loaded with Mercury and injected right into the tissues of men, women, children and even toddlers. So if there are modern warnings of the dangers of Mercury, it seems that modern science and health departments of the United States have not limited the use of Mercury in these immunization programs, products or foods. In fact, our exposure to Mercury in our society keeps increasing. When it comes to the flu vaccine schedule that many people of all ages follow, the Mercury levels in the tissues can rapidly reach the danger zone. Nervousness and the risk of autism increase. Consequently, I see the population becoming more and more “the mad hatters” of our modern world. Quite frankly I am shocked.

Many natural health researchers claim that the annual flu vaccine is by far the most dangerous medical product in the world. For many years I always maintained that chemotherapy and radiation treatments were the most dangerous conventional therapies, being far more detrimental to the body’s system than the supposed cancer-treatment benefits they provide. But soon after reviewing the data, which include alarming statistics compiled for over a decade by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/

the harmful side effects of vaccines—and what a big business the vaccine industry really is—became appallingly clear.


Mad hatters or not, profits primarily drive the decision-making for, and the marketing of, vaccines. You know what they say, whenever you want to pinpoint the truth about a debatable and growing trend, just follow the money. The immunization business is an apparent racket because one agency is promoting it, but it is also colluding with and supported by the federal government. The NVICP maintains that the CDC with the government’s endorsement promotes vaccine use for all citizens, including seniors, infants and even pregnant women. These vaccines coupled with neurotoxins are injected every year at an annual sum of over 200 million doses. That is big money. In fact, since 2006, over 1 billion doses of the flu shot have been administered. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, yearly since 2006, over 1 billion doses of the flu shot have been distributed. All U.S. vaccine manufacturers have been granted total legal immunity for any harm caused by their products, even though certain flu shots given to children in the United States still contain over 50,000 ppb of mercury. There are a few lawsuits and most pertaining to Guillain-Barre Syndrome get settled out of court. Nevertheless, there is a high amount of Mercury in many doses and the industry has government protection from most prosecution. With these astonishing amounts of Mercury, it is obvious that it has nothing to do with health and it is beyond normal profit margins. Indeed, this is a goose that endlessly lays golden eggs.


Ok, so now we know this is big business and a monopoly of the pharmaceutical industry being supported by the government. But just how dangerous is it? Many conditions can develop with advanced Mercury exposure, but in different people it can be a different outcome. The reality is the presence of high levels of this heavy metal has a multi-tiered effect. Not only will the neurological system suffer but also the endocrine system will suffer as well. For one thing, it is residual, meaning it cannot be flushed out of the body right away. Mercury will build up in the eyes and the kidneys, the brain, the thyroid and the liver. Yes, thyroid problems are on the rise. Many people who have received vaccines and developed hypothyroidism most likely have Mercury toxicity.


Excess Mercury has also been associated with the formation of cataracts and yes; intraocular lens implant surgeries to replace the natural cataract lens are also on the rise. With some unfortunate parents, cerebral palsy and mental retardation have been associated with Mercury toxicity from vaccines in their children. These health problems do not reverse. Some horrible side effects are Narcolepsy, Transverse myelitis and many other conditions. Conveniently, there are no long-term studies to test the safety of the influenza and other vaccines as the source of Mercury in many of these diseases. The bad news is most damages from the Mercury in the vaccines are permanent. Have we learned anything from our mistakes in the early 19th century 200 years ago? I am shocked to say we have not. Some countries and states like California have made vaccine schedules mandatory and because of this there are more mad hatters today than ever before!


However, there is light at the end of this pernicious tunnel. Many people who want an option in their health care treatments would be interested to know of a new division in the government’s Health and Human Services Department. Established in early 2018 in the United States is the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division. It is being set up as of this writing to allow citizens anywhere in the United States the right to refuse certain treatments, drugs or vaccines based on their religious belief or their conscience. For example, if they are a Jew or a vegan and want to refuse a vaccine because some of the ingredients are derived from pork, then they can refuse the vaccine without any problems. Or if someone who is in a 12 step problem and is clean and sober; they too can refuse any drug they wish in order to maintain their commitment to a life of sobriety. Importantly, if a parent in California decides they do not want to give their child vaccines they have a resource in the federal government to opt out and have their family vaccine free. What about you? Do you want your children to avoid being Mad Hatters? Are we really allowed to have more choices in our healthcare today? Finally there is real hope. Contact Conscience and Religious Freedom Division to find out your options -

Have you ever looked at the Periodic Table of Elements? These elements make up everything in the universe! Everything; including us. In fact, we are the microcosm of the macrocosm. In Biblical terms, we are made in God’s image. In chemistry, we are composed mostly of about 40 elements on the Periodic Table. Our make up is essentially the combination of elements made flesh, with the spark of spirit that gives us life.

 

In the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), the biological activity of 37 Elements is measured. They are: 15 important Nutritional Elements, 8 Toxic Heavy Metals, 14 Trace Elements. With the information of the HTMA, we now know what is available and being used in the body or what is lacking. Health begins to deteriorate when cell metabolism does not have the right foods and elements it needs. A mineral imbalance follows. Over time, function goes down and structure begins to lose its integrity. With the right foods and a balance of elements on a daily basis the body’s cells will repair and reverse aging.

 

The HTMA will show:

  • How to avoid disease states
  • Any toxic or heavy metal overload
  • A complete profile of 37 different elements
  • The correct diet schedule based on your biochemistry

Yes, deep tissue detoxification usually happens when you do sweat baths at a spa and get lymphatic drainage massage. But if that is not an option for you, the HTMA diet and supplement schedule, is the most effective way to detox the body that very few of the many health experts realize. For over four decades of reviewing HTMA results with patients the most unexpected outcome is the toxicity reaction from heavy metals coming into the blood stream that occurs when following the diet and supplement schedule. The program helps get the right minerals into the body's cells and then they are getting what they need and in rapid fashion they start cleaning house; that is dumping out all of their toxins. The intensive detox is imminent when all of your fifty trillion cells do this simultaneously. The result is your bloodstream is inundated with an intense toxic burden that causes discomfort. Now it would be good to review some back ground on this profound phenomena and why the HTMA is so important. The US Environmental Protection Agency, in a review of over 400 studies in 1979, found hair analysis to be a reliable indicator for the presence of many of the toxic metals. Hair gives a record of the body;s exposure over time and the metals are easy to detect and measure accurately in the hair tissue. However , hair testing only reveals what is in the hair, not the entire body load. The only way to measure the entire body load of a metal would be to biopsy every organ and tissue. This is of course impossible so the next best indicator is the mineral assay showing the metals in the hair. To be clear, hair is not a target tissue for toxic metals, but it is a tissue made of cells by the body's hair follicle and this record gives us a congruent correlation about the activity of the minerals in all of our cells. Included in the reports is the diet and supplement schedule to follow and in most cases the cells get stronger and will rapidly damp toxins. However this is not always the case. Reasons why some toxic metals may not be eliminated fast is due to several factors: If the metabolic or oxidation rate is slow, the body has less ability to eliminate toxic metals. They remain sequestered in other tissues and organs and will not show up in the hair. For this reason, those with a faster rate of metabolism, or fast oxidizers, often test with higher hair levels of toxic metals. They are not necessarily more toxins in these individuals, but they will eliminate metals quicker because of their fast metabolism. In all cases a nutritional balancing program is required to promote the elimination of the toxic metals and promote natural detoxification. The dietary and supplement program not only enhances the oxidation rate, but provides toxic metal antagonists, chelating agents and enhances the activities of the eliminative organs of the body. These measures greatly assist the body in eliminating the toxic metals, causing them to be revealed on hair analysis tests as they are being eliminated. These programs support the biochemical balance of the body and are quite different from simply giving powerful chelating agents or other methods that may unbalance body chemistry. Even with these measures, toxic metals stored deep within the tissues can take years before the body is able to eliminate them. For example, a patient smoked during her pregnancy and when she was a child. Cigarettes are a source of cadmium toxicity. However, it took about eight years on a nutritional balancing program before cadmium ever registered on his hair analyses. The same phenomenon can occur with mercury, arsenic and the other toxic metals. Once the HTMA is followed lymphatic drainage massage can help the body speed up the release of heavy metal toxins out of the body.

Oral zinc supplementation may offer significant benefits for patients with atopic dermatitis who exhibit zinc deficiency. While this study provides compelling evidence for its efficacy, further research is needed to establish standardized guidelines for zinc supplementation in managing AD.
