To comprehend how mercury might induce sadness and anxiety,
we must first comprehend how mercury interacts in the body following the
placement of amalgam fillings. Mercury is unique in that it can change state
from liquid to solid to vapour. When amalgam fillings are inserted in the
mouth, this is what happens. The fillings are put as a liquid, which solidifies
afterwards. Friction from biting and tooth grinding, as well as consuming hot
liquids, erodes the amalgam over time, releasing mercury as a vapour.
Mercury is absorbed by mucosal tissue in the mouth, lungs,
and stomach once it is in vapour form. Mercury enters the circulation after
being absorbed by mucosal tissue. Mercury enters the circulation and goes to
important organs.
Mercury is especially
hazardous because it is bioaccumulative,
meaning it accumulates in the body quicker than it can be eliminated. This is
why so many people have mercury poisoning symptoms long after amalgam removal.
A 1989 research on sheep and monkeys explains how mercury is accumulated in
numerous regions of the body, as mentioned in our earlier article on safe
amalgam removal.
Mercury, like many
other pollutants, causes an excess of free radicals and a depletion of
antioxidants, resulting in oxidative stress. When there is an overabundance of
free radicals compared to antioxidant capacity, uncontrolled
oxidation ensues, destroying cell components and destabilising good cell
function. "The brain, with its high oxygen consumption and lipid-rich
composition, is especially sensitive to oxidative stress," according to
this study.
Mercury also inhibits
mitochondrial function, resulting in decreased energy and lethargy, aggravating
mental health issues. Mercury also causes inflammation, which suppresses the
central nervous system and contributes to sadness and anxiety.
