Mercury Can Directly Attach Itself To Insulin

It is also of importance to realize that this 50 percent response rate of insulin-resistant patients doesn't take into account the profound effects of minimizing the levels of toxins being released into your body. For example, mercury (which is continuously released as vapor from dental amalgams, as I have explained) has its own effect on insulin metabolism. Mercury can directly attach itself to insulin, as well as to several other enzymes needed to process insulin properly. This directly decreases the effect of the insulin that has been released, causing the pancreas to release even more insulin to get the job done. Thus the presence of mercury can be one more factor keeping insulin levels high in the obese patient around the clock. Insulin-dependent diabetics must always guard against low blood sugar after they have had their amalgams removed, since the requirement for injected insulin often drops significantly after this removal. Continuing the same amount of insulin supplementation after amalgam removal can sometimes result in a dangerously low blood glucose level. It would appear that mercury from any source can worsen ...
... the clinical problem of insulin resistance that we are trying so hard to avoid. Therefore, it would seem likely that the removal of toxins such as mercury would allow significantly more than 50 percent of obese people to get a favorable decline in their elevated insulin levels from the suggestions being made. At this point, it is also crucial to realize that any agent or factor that damages or lessens immune function will help mercury and other toxins to exert their toxic effects. Generally, the immune system acts to neutralize toxins, and anything that compromises the immune system magnifies the toxic effect. For this reason, immune system-damaging substances such as refined sugar can have a similar but less direct toxic effect on the body as mercury, since it allows whatever levels of mercury are present to be less neutralized and have a greater effect. This does not mean that sugar is as toxic as mercury. But it does mean that labeling a container of sugar with a skull and crossbones might not be overdoing it!
