Mercury May Play Big Role in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A study done by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden links mercury and heavy metals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. They found:
- That 83% reported long term health benefits following dental amalgam removal; 22% no change, and 2% worsening.
- These findings were not only subjective. They found that among persons with CFS, their lymphocytes (or immune cells) were more reactive to heavy metals compared to healthy individuals, particularly to inorganic mercury, phenylmercury and gold.
