how do I reduce mercury in my blood?

Question

I recently had my mercury checked and was told my mercury is high. Doctor said to eat no swordfish, dolphin etc. I never do. I do eat a fairly steady diet of wild freshwater fish. In the summer, trout, pike, bass, perch and sunfish. In the winter, mostly smelt and perch. Perhaps 5-6 times per week. Do eat a lot of nuts, beans and lentils but find I need a denser protein source. I do not have easy access to other protein sources. (Rabbit gives me the runs and I do not like the expense of bullets for deer or moose and I only have a .22 which is not big enough for bear. Occassionally I eat beaver and muskrat but only once every 6-8 weeks (only have a few traps)) Is there a way I can reduce my mercury without reducing my fish consumption?

Answer 1

there's a health food store product called Kyolic - it's a neutralized garlic product that claims to help remove heavy metals from the system. It's a very good product.

Answer 2

Cut out the freshwater fish. And NEVER eat fish livers. That's where the mercury is concentrated the most. Plus the place where you get the "freshwater' fish is polluted with mercury. I just read that the standards for industry to release mercury into the water had been relaxed years ago, courtesy of the Bush administration.
Mercury is very toxic!

Eat fish you catch in the frozen food section.

Answer 3

EDTA as suggested orally or even intravenously will not chelate mercury. Mercury is a cumulative poison and will stay in your body. It would be smart to cut out the fish since it sounds like that is the source of the metal. It sounds like you need to take a serious look at your diet.

Answer 4

Get some EDTA online. Its called chelation therapy and its used for heavy metal toxicity (lead, cadmium, mercury and the like). It simply binds with heavy metals, including calcium, and you excrete them with lots of water. Take a mineral supplement a few hours later to replenish the good minerals.
