Answer 1

Ask your doctor to run a blood test.

Answer 2

INORGANIC MERCURY

Unlike elemental mercury, inorganic mercury is usually poisonous when swallowed. Depending on the how much is swallowed, symptoms may include:

Burning in the stomach and throat
Bloody diarrhea and vomiting
If inorganic mercury enters your blood stream, it can attack the kidneys and brain. Permanent kidney damage and failure may occur. A large overdose may cause massive blood and fluid loss from diarrhea, kidney failure, and death.

ORGANIC MERCURY

Organic mercury can cause sickness if breathed in, eaten, or placed on the skin for long periods of time. Usually organic mercury causes problems over years or decades, not immediately. In other words, being exposed to small amounts of organic mercury every day for years will likely cause symptoms to appear later. Regardless, a single large exposure can also cause problems.

Long-term exposure will likely cause neurological symptoms, including:

Numbness or pain in certain parts of your skin
Uncontrollable shake or tremor
Inability to walk well
Blindness and double vision
Memory problems
Seizures and death (with large exposures)
Medical evidence suggests that being exposed to large amounts of the organic mercury called methylmercury while pregnant can permanently damage the baby’s developing brain. Most doctors will recommend eating less fish, especially swordfish, while pregnant. These recommendations are made to be extremely cautious. Small exposures are unlikely to cause any problems. Women should talk to their doctor about what should and should not be eaten while pregnant.

Answer 3

Heavy metals are a simple standard test screened for if requested at your Dr. It will probably not be fully covered by your insurance. Celation or Chelation therapy will remove metals from your body. There are many qualified therapists, nutritionists and holistic healers that can help you here. There are raw fruits and vegetables that do the same, I believe fenugreek is one of them My mother has metals poisoning and is about to get Chelation therapy. Go to Wild Oats, whole Foods or Vitamin Cottage and speak to an herbalist there, maybe you have a pharmaca?
