Mercury Detox

Q: Suggestions for detoxing from mercury toxicity would be helpful. Thanks. Stephanie Costello

 

A:  Hello Stephanie, thank you for writing with your interest.  I have heard the concern of mrecury toxicity before.  I would be most interested to nourish the body's ability to process unwanted elements, mostly by nourishing the liver with herbs such as Dandelion, Yellow Dock, or Burdock.  In addition, seaweed is a supreme ally in these situations.  Here are a few articles, the first having many wonderful recipes to help bring seaweed into your diet.  I would recommend this rather than supplement products, usually lacking in quality, like the last article supports (I included it simply for the mention of seaweeds helping remove mercury).

You will see in the last article Cilantro mentioned.  It is also mentioned in this thread from our forum about detoxing from dental mercury: http://www.susunweed.com/weedforum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=3516.

 

Let me know if I can help in any other way.
