Heavy Metals and Allergies

When I was tested for heavy metals, I was toxic in lead, mercury, antimony, arsenic, cesium,  nickel, rubidium, thallium, tungsten. So I was also interested in why I have hormonal and immunity problems. In a blog post that I posted just the other day, I found that heavy metals effect hormones and immunity issues. Tonight I find confirmation that heavy metals will also be one cause for allergies, of any kind.

It appears that heavy metals cause confusion in the body's immune system, and predispose the body to developing allergies. It has been my observation that those people who test positive for heavy metal toxicities also tend to have reactions to many more allergens than people who do not have heavy metal toxicities. By far the most common heavy metals that are problematic are mercury and lead, but cadmium, thallium, and a host of other metals can show up as well.

Mercury toxicity appears to most commonly be related to amalgam dental fillings, exposure to thimersol (a preserving agent used in vaccines and various liquid solutions used in medicine), and industrial mercury exposure. Although there has been much concern in recent years regarding mercury contamination of seafood, I have not found seafood consumption to be related to mercury toxicity in my patients. Most people probably do not consume enough mercury contaminated seafood for it to create toxicity issues. Click here for Source of this information.
