THIS IS FROM AN OUTSTANDING

The poisonous element mercury permeates our environment—including our tooth fillings—and, according to Lafayette-based Quicksilver Scientific, it unleashes a head-bangers ball of negative effects on our bodies. Can removing the quicksilver in your system change your life? We sent a writer to undergo extensive dental work and ingest developmental supplements to find out.
To overstate the obvious, quicksilver is mercurial, wiggling its way in everywhere. It permeates the fish we eat. It’s in the new CFL bulbs that light our world. It’s used as a preservative in certain vaccines, as a topical antiseptic and even in over-the-counter laxatives. It’s in the air we breathe thanks to burning coal (hello Valmont Power Plant!) and the incineration of medical waste and trash in cement kilns. George W. Bush rolled back regulations in the Clean Air Act connected to mercury emissions from coal-fired plants (but don’t just blame the former President, the bulk of the atmosphere’s mercury comes from volcanoes). And, of course, it’s in our teeth—and that could be a problem.
“It arrives to the dentist’s office in hazmat containers and leaves in hazmat containers,” says Chris Shade, owner and founder of Quicksilver Scientific (quicksilverscientific.com), a Lafayette, Colorado-based company that tests environmental samples for mercury and produces binding-agent supplements that remove mercury from your body. “You can be arrested by the EPA for dropping your filling on the ground … the only place that mercury is supposedly not life-threatening is in your mouth!”
But mercury poisoning is no joke, especially because we’re nearly all afflicted by the build up of its presence in our bodies, according to Shade—through the environment, our food, and our mercury amalgam fillings.
“Mercury can stop the body’s ability to get rid of toxins and has a tendency to accumulate in our intestines,” he says. “It causes irritation and inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. The door gets shut, so to speak, and nothing can get out. So the system gets overloaded with toxins, both metabolic and environmental.” Referred to as retention toxicity, this state (precursor to actual mercury poisoning) can lead to depression, sensory disorientation, and tremors.
These are not the ravings of some lone conspiracy theorist. As of June 1st, Sweden instituted a ban on mercury that will eliminate the use of dental amalgam fillings, which corrode and emit toxic mercury vapors over time that your body absorbs through its lungs.
It was to fight dangers such as these that Shade created Quicksilver Scientific. “Our binding agent reverses this inflammatory cascade,” Shade says. “It bonds to heavy metals and allows the body to eliminate the mercury. This opens up the body’s biochemical channels and makes normal detoxification flow again.”
But does it really work?
IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD
I decided to find out the only way that made sense. I would have my mercury amalgam tooth fillings removed and have Shade’s lab test my mercury levels before, during and after the dental work—this, while ingesting a regimen of Quicksilver Scientific supplements—and observing my mental and physical reaction. The supplements are so-called binding agents, organic compounds such as liposomal glutathione (a liquid antioxidant that goes into cells and helps bring mercury out), Intestinal Metal Detox (a powder formula of silica with some metal bonding groups that keep the intestine from reabsorbing the mercury forced out by the liposomal glutathione) and mixtures of compounds extracted from plants (pomegranate, ginkgo balboa, sea weed, and pine bark) to enhance my body’s powers of detoxification.
Shade’s mercury assertions struck an intuitive chord with me. I have struggled with depression off and on for years. Talk therapy, various yoga and healing practices and diet modifications have had positive effects, but I seemed saddled with an inability to eliminate toxic thoughts, as it were. Perhaps my amalgam tooth fillings were subtly poisoning me and clouding my brain? I also harbor a weakness for raw and pickled fish. Thanks to biomagnification—the process by which mercury moves up the oceanic food chain—large, and yummy fish such as swordfish, tuna and halibut store toxic levels of mercury.
Number 80 on the periodic chart of elements, Mercury (Hg) or Hydragyrum (Latin for “silver water”) is most commonly extracted from cinnabar, a red, vein-filling mineral found in volcanic rock. At room temperature, mercury exists in a liquid state, and it’s named after the Roman god known for his speed and agility. The Romans even extended the name to the red-hued planet closest to our sun, because Mercury moves across the heavens quicker than any other planet.
Mercury bonds easily with every other metal (except iron and platinum) to form amalgam substances. It was used extensively for this reason in Colorado’s hydraulic gold mining operations to bond with the miniscule gold flakes and help the gold sink through the flowing water-gravel mixture. (Curiously, the Roman god Mercury was also the god of thieves due to the metal’s ability to steal gold from the soil.) Before that, alchemists believed that mercury could be used to help transform lead into gold or even mercury directly into gold. Mercury is, in fact, just one proton away from gold (Au, 79 on the periodic chart), and Sir Isaac Newton, died from mercury poisoning resulting from alchemical studies.
Its use for medical purposes is long and varied, including as a de-wormer and to combat the symptoms of leprosy. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart likely died from mercury poisoning after repeatedly ingesting it to combat syphilis. Today’s most prevalent use, though, is in florescent lights. Yup, that’s mercury vapor inside those overhead tubes—even inside so-called “green bulbs”—that gets excited and emits light. Before the practice was banned in the U.S. in 1941, mercury was used by hat makers to separate fur from pelt in order to make felt. It was also used extensively in chemical manufacturing as a catalyst, to silver mirrors and within thermometers.
“It’s cheap, useful, everywhere… and, unfortunately, poisonous,” says Shade.
Gold was originally the metal of choice for tooth fillings but proved cost-prohibitive. Dental repair work turned to mercury amalgam fillings (which also contain a powdered alloy of silver, tin and copper) because of the material’s hardness, durability and price. The American Dental Association (ADA, ada.org) openly recognizes that mercury amalgam fillings release mercury vapors that people swallow and breathe, but the organization contests that the amounts are too small to be harmful. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, children with dental amalgam fillings do not experience adverse effects related to neurobehavioral, neuropsychological (IQ) and kidney function, as has been claimed. The FDA, meanwhile, states that amalgam fillings are only safe for adults and children ages six and above. (This begs the question: What is it about a six year-old’s physiology that makes her able to withstand mercury exposure?) The FDA recognizes that mercury works its way into breast milk and that mothers with amalgam fillings should consult their physicians. So are amalgam fillings 100 percent safe or not?
According to Shade, the ADA used to own patents related to mercury amalgam tooth filling material and is therefore not totally impartial in the matter. Although amalgam manufacturers own most of the patents now, they must pay for a “seal of approval” from the ADA, which also controls all dental school accreditations and started Delta Dental, the nation’s biggest dental insurance group. In other words, the ADA could see serious exposure should liability for health problems related to amalgams ever reach the level of class action suits, such as those the tobacco industry has faced.
“The organization should accept wider swaths of scientific studies,” says Shade.
Swedish professor Maths Berlin, for example, a former chair of the World Health Organization’s Task Group on Environmental Health Criteria for Inorganic Mercury, compiled a recent report for the Swedish government’s Dental Material Commission that lead to the country’s total ban on mercury amalgam fillings. After 33 pages of examination of scientific literature and reports, his risk analysis concludes that, “For medical reasons, amalgam should be eliminated in dental care as soon as possible,” citing reduced medical side effects for patients, reduced occupational hazards for dental practitioners and reduced mercury waste in the environment.
The poster child for this delicate debate, incidentally, is a former Colorado Springs-based dentist. Hal Huggins has railed against the dangers of amalgam fillings since the ’70s and gained some national notoriety in a 60 Minutes segment, which largely panned him for inflating the dangers of mercury amalgam and benefiting from his replacement filling services. In 1996, Colorado went so far as to revoke his medical license for “gross medical negligence,” which Huggins claims was done for “political purposes.” He still prowls events like the annual Health Freedom Expo (healthfreedomexpo.com) and preaches vehemently against mercury amalgam. His book It’s All in Your Head is a cult classic.
MERCURY IN TRANSIT
On May 13, Boulder’s Dr. Stephen M. Koral removed my three mercury amalgam fillings and replaced them with so-called white composite fillings. Koral has done “many hundreds” of similar procedures, and he and his assistant wore giant facial respirators and safety goggles when performing the procedure. Safety goggles were placed on me as well and an elaborate rubber dam was fitted around my tooth so no mercury debris could enter my mouth while suction removed the vapors. The City of Boulder requires air and water filters to be placed on the equipment of dentists who perform this work. The city also monitors wastewater for mercury levels.
“It does not give me pleasure to undo the work of other dentists,” says Koral, who has been practicing in Boulder for decades. He’s also the former president of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (iaomt.org) and has written extensively about the proper procedures for safely removing mercury amalgam fillings.
“There’s a certain amount of anxiety and legality around what I can and cannot say with a dental license,” Koral admits when I press him for his opinion on amalgam. “It’s not legal for me to say that your mercury amalgam fillings are poisoning you. That’s a medical statement. I can point you to the research, though.”
Shade received his PhD at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he invented a mercury speciation technology for identifying organic and inorganic mercury. Most laboratories only test for “total mercury” (organic and inorganic), which only tells part of the story, as identifying what kind of mercury is present allows researchers to better identify the source of the contamination. Most of Shade’s current revenue comes from testing environmental samples (Dow Chemical DuPont and the State of Colorado are major clients), but he’s also developed a binding agent supplement for removing mercury from the body through the intestines. He tailors treatments to remove “inorganic” mercury (from vapor sources like amalgam, which is less mobile in the body and tends to stick to the liver, kidneys and intestines) and methyl- or “organic” mercury (which we ingest from fish and is more mobile and circulates in the blood, binding to amino acids in the intestines and crossing the blood brain barrier and the placental barrier). Worldwide, the majority of new fillings are still mercury amalgam, but, in the U.S., the practice is decreasing, according to Koral. Only about 50 percent of U.S. dentists still use amalgam fillings, he notes, pointing out that mercury makes up 50 percent of the weight of those fillings, “about as much as was used in handheld thermometers, which have been phased out for good reason.”
Despite the fact that Colorado’s Dental Patient Act allows patients to choose what type of fillings they want, the ADA donates lots of money to politicians making appointments to state dental regulatory boards, according to Koral, and continues to disseminate information downplaying the risks of living with mercury in your body.
“[This ADA lobbying], in my opinion, leads to industry-favorable governing,” he says.
Before the dental wok, Shade pulled samples of my blood and had me collect urine samples before and for weeks after. He even tested my breath, which registered off the charts for mercury vapors, compared with his rosy, amalgam-free breath.
After about five weeks of testing, my data set bore out Shade’s theory that fillings can cause people to retain mercury. The mercury levels in my blood and urine shot up after having my fillings removed then leveled out (and presumably came down, although the testing stopped before that phase). On May 12, the day before having my fillings removed, my mercury blood level was at 2.85 nanograms per milliliter of blood and went down to 2.64 over the next four weeks. The inorganic mercury in my urine—reflecting the vapor absorption from my fillings making its way slowly through the kidneys—however, started at .2 then shot up to .6 and leveled off at .4. With less mercury in my body, my digestive tract and cells became more efficient at excreting toxins.
“Remove the source and allow the mercury to dump,” says Shade. “The key here is that mercury can create an inflammation state that limits the ability to excrete. Once the mercury is out, the body relaxes and releases.”
OSHA says that 0–20 nanograms of mercury per milliliter is acceptable, while the National Research Council, FDA and EPA recommend keeping blood levels below 5.8 nanograms per milliliter. My levels were well below these guidelines, but genetic influences make it problematic to identify at what point people start developing symptoms and how severely.
“It’s like shrimp—you can’t select a safe level that people should eat, because some people are allergic, so an average between tolerant and allergic people is an irrelevant number,” says Shade, who is a strong advocate of genetic screening to identify people’s capacities to withstand mercury. “People are nervous about the ethical ramifications [of genetic screening]. But I see people who come through my lab with extremely high levels of mercury that exhibit mild symptoms and people with half those levels that are completely debilitated.”
THE RESULT?
Companies like Quicksilver Scientific need to compile more complete data sets to help prove the effectiveness of their products, but anecdotally, I can unequivocally state that removing mercury from my mouth—and the mercury bottled up in my body, as a result—has improved my quality of life. Within the first few days, I experienced renewed mental clarity and physical energy thanks, I believe, to not dosing myself with mercury vapors with every breath. I also experienced a lightness and absence of magnetism in my mouth. (For instance, I can now bite silverware without shuddering.) My emotional states are more stable, and I just competed in my first Olympic distance triathlon.
In short, having less mercury infesting my cells has felt like the difference between swimming with clothes on and without. Having shed this heavy metal and cleansed my body with natural supplements, I’m less of a drag on myself.
“Your body did a big exhalation this spring and summer,” Shade tells me later in his typical Boulder-speak. In my words, I pissed poison for 40 days and 40 nights—a physical and emotional purging—and I feel reborn.
Mercury may be ubiquitous but at least it’s not in me.

WRITTEN
December 13, 2010
I got a call from Robert Slovak this morning.
Robert is the principal for Original Quinton Marine Plasma,
one of my Godsent remedies that I believe in and use
on a daily basis.
Most of us are mineral starved.
This is a tragic condition,
in his book "The Chemistry of Man,"
Dr. Bernard Jensen describes the work of Homepath V.G. Rocine.
Rocine in the early 20th Century identified 20 chemical types
of people. Dr. Bernard Jensen felt honored to be
one of the top students of Rocine. Jensen took
the Rocine work to new heights.
Through looking into the iris, Dr.Bernard Jensen
could identify what organs of the body were underactive
or overactive, as well as the organs that had toxic residues that were
slowing down their function.
He would then work very hard to restore
the function of the four primary elimination organs.
He went to the garden.
He knew his foods. He knew what foods were ideally
in balance in each of the foods he recommended.
He adapted and perfected the Rocine material
to improve health.
He created specific balances within the body of
more than 350,000 patients through matching diet
with need. Dr. Bernard Jensen was a master of
using Food as Medicine, and the Rocine work was
a foundation of his work.
ON TO HEAVY MEDAL POISON
AND SOLUTIONS TO RESTORE FUNCTION TODAY
So what does this have to do with heavy medal poisoning,
and the cutting edge work of Robert Slovak,
principal of Original Quinton Marine Plasma
and his new ally Quicksliver Scientific,
the cutting edge lab that can identify specific
heavy medal poisioning?
A combination of Original Quinton Marine Plasma
when partnered with the advanced tests of
Quicksilver Scientific can not only procoke
heavy medals out of the tissue and into the blood and lymph,
but through the testing of Quicksillver,
can identify specific kinds of mercury in the body,
and then, then, help the body restore function.
I am just a beginning in this,
so below you will find some outstanding links
that explain more of the process and the science
behind this.
As Phillip Armour, editor in chief of Cowboy Magazine
writes in this outstanding report,
Mercury in Almalgams are doing disaster in the body.
Robert Slovak tells me that "Amalgans are running the show."
in summary,
Quinton will provoke them into the blood stream to be eliminated.
Quicksilver's remedies can get them out of the body.
With the Quinton allow, the toxins can keep recycling.
with the additon of Quicksilver products, the organs
can be restored to function.
THIS IS OF COURSE IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
We are dependent on the mineral balance,
as Dr.Bernard Jensen pointed out to fulfill our destiny.
Rocine identified specific types of people
and how their unique balance asks them to have
certain foods.
The combination of Original Quinton Marine Plasma
and Quicksilver can bring us back to a place in health--
and this is my sense--where we can move on to
fulfil our life purpose.
MY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT
I have been using Original Quinton Marine Plasma
in combination with Kurchi Bark, an Ajurvedic herb
to improve persistent IBS and intestinal toxic reaction
that I have had for many years.
Now with the coming of Quicksilver in combination
with Original Quinton, I feel a bit frightened.
Am I willing to feel that good?
Robert tells me that many of us wonder.
Why is this or that remedy, or this or that
procedure, not working as best we hoped?
IT is because we have the equivalent of Malware in our OS.
Mercury poisoning is the malware.
It's effects are pervasive.
Can we improve the condition enough without yanking
the amalgams out of our mouth?
I do not yet have the full answer on that one,
but I feel encouraged that we can make strong improvement
in our health through partnering the use of
Original Quinton Marine Plasma with Quick Silver products.

HERE IS A BLOG I FOUND THAT DESCRIBES
WHAT THE DETOX PROGRAM
http://www.cocoonnutrition.org/blog/2010/10/imd-detox/
This paragraph caught my eye:
Clinical trials of IMD have revealed profound benefits
of use: Individuals with various autoimmune disorders
reported reversal of disease–related symptoms
while experiencing a continuous decrease in blood mercury.
Quantitative and qualitative data gathered during these initial
clinical trials indicate that Quicksilver Scientific’s Intestinal Metals Detox
(IMD) (1) continuously lowers blood mercury levels, intercepting
mercury in the enterohepatic pathway, (2) optimizes
transporters that move glutathione and conjugated
toxins into the intestines for excretion, and (3) alleviates
some symptoms of pervasive diseases.
MY RAW NOTES
WITH ROBERT SLOVAK
Robert just called.
He is explaining to be about the "extracellular matrix."
This is the "miieu interieur" as it is called in French.
This is the work of Claude Bernard 1850.
Claude Bernard is the man responsible
for the quote "The terrain is everything."
The Equivalent Biological Matrix runs the body,
Robert explains. This term is the same as
the mileu interieur."
The Equivalent Biological Matrix to explain
in terms we can understand is the
biological operating system of the body--
sort of like Windows, or Mac, or Linnex
have an Operating System, an OS.
HERE IS THE CRUX OF THE PROBLEM
Have you ever wondered why healing takes
so long or you cannot get the results you expect
from expensive work with healing practitioners?
Robert tells me, and this is the crux of the problem.
whatever remedy you use to make a positive shift,
this remedy or treatment has to be administered by the
biologic matrix--in other words the OS.
Most of us have the equivalent of Malware,
or Computer Viruses in our OS.
Whatever we do or take in are slow to work
and procedures are slow.
We have the equivalent of Malware," Robert explains.
WHERE DOES ORIGINAL QUINTON MARINE PLASMA FIT IN?
Where does Original Quinton Marine Plasma fit in?
Ocean water is the basis our evolution.
We were created in a biological matrix of
3.5 billion years of evolution that existed
in a promordial isotonic ocean
of the 92 elements of the periodic table-- in balance.
I want to repeat that word, in balance.
When I worked with Dr. Bernard Jensen,
I called this Equivalent Biological Matrix
"A pattern of wholeness."
"Today, we don't ever have the micro mineral,
no less have them in balance!" Robert tells me.
QUESTION ANSWERED
The body needs to be prepared to receive healing.
The equivalent Malware in us
is "intracellular heavy medal toxicity."
I ASKED ROBERT A VITAL QUESTION
I have a friend who I introduced to
Original Quinton Marine Plasma.
She has become really good at testing out
her own remedies, but this product does not
check out for her. "Why does Original Quinton Marine Plasma,
not check out for her?" I asked.
Robert responds
The issue is, she likely has amalgams in her mouth
and/or heavy medals in the body.
Amalgams are the primary cause of heavy medal poisoning in the body.
When a person has heavy medal poisoning,
and they take in Original Quinton Marine Plasma,
this is like holding up a cross to a vampire.
SAY WHAT?
Quinton will provoke the heavy medals
to come out of the intracellular Biological Matrix
into the blood and lymph system--
but, and this goes back to the work
of Dr. Bernard Jensen--if the toxins are delivered there
but pathways are dysftuntional--
the toxins will be recycled through the system
again and again.
Dr. Bernard Jensen taught me about the four eliminative
organs. Included are the kidneys, liver, intestines and skin.
Kidneys are shut down with any amalgam
in the mouth.
How do you get rid of it?
How do you break the cycle?
Robert just came back from a seminar where
they was the topic of discussion.
He has been excited for over a year about
the program from Quicksilver Science in Boulder.
They have the most advance program for identifying
the specific kind of mercury poisoning we have.
QUICKSILVER IN COMBO WITH ORIGINAL QUINTON
MARINE PLASMA WILL DO THE JOB
IMD intestinal metal detox in combo with quinton isotonic and
clearway herbal formula provokes medal out of cell,
and restores the function of the eliminaive pathways/
This removes mercury stuck in intestine
that get in it every day.
IMD, dumps
and graps on to the Mercury
that Quinton will provoke out of the system.
Quicksilver Scientific, he tells me, has the world's most sophisticated
test blood of urine and hair.
This is called
mercury speciation.
Other labs do not do this kind of test.
I AM GOING TO DO THE TESTS
AND REPORT BACK TO YOU
I have amalgam in my mouth.
This test is going to tell me what kind of mercury
I Have. I also have had persistent IBS
and a tendency toward diarrhea.
It has improved some the last six months.
"Amalgam is running the show in the body," Robert tells me.
PARTNERING COMING UP
Quick silver in Boulder
has made a breakthrough, Robert says.
Original Quinton Marine Plasma will partner
with Quicksliver in Boulder
to take on Amlgan that is running us.
