Re: Do I smell Troll?
Hypothyroidism has numerous causes including hypothalamus or pituitary dysfunction,
Lol and just what do you think is the leading cause of "hypothalamus or pituitary dysfunction"?
I can think of several things that have nothing to do with mercury.
This is where Mercury has it's most devastating effect.
excess estrogen,
caused by Mercury and Soy
LOL!!! Mercury does not increase estrogen and soy is an anti-estrogen as I have pointed out so many times. Try researching real information sites instead of paranoia propaganda sites.
exposure to other halogens,
Duh. Iodine will remove these halogens
And they can displace iodine as well. It all depends on levels and reactivity. But excess levels of any halogen, including iodine can be dangerous. That is why people need to be careful with supplementing iodine with thyroid disorders when they don't what is causing the low thyroid since it is not always best treated with iodine.
poor adrenal function,
Mercury
Not even close!!! Again, you really need to learn some basic chemistry and how the body really works. Adrenal dysfunction also has a number of causes, none of which are mercury.
chronic stress leading to elevated rT3 and poor T4 to T3 conversion,
stress caused by Mercury & dealing with your ignorance
See my last comment because mercury DOES NOT cause these other.
low iodine
Duh. Take iodine. But I referred to HYPER thyroidism to begin with, not hypo, genius.
ROTFLMAO!!!! You really should read what you wrote before making such statements. Here is your quote again:
"It is absolutely unfounded and ridiculous. Hypo, as well as Hyperthyroidism is caused by heavy metals like Mercury and pseudo-iodines like fluorine and bromine that occupying and block the cellular receptor sites normally reserved for iodine."
That is the problem with your making up lies MichaelB. There are always people willing to expose your lies.
and Hashimoto's.
Fancy euphemism for Mercury and Halogen toxicity.
You CLEARLY have no clue what you are talking about. Again, try researching some credible sites instead of opinion sites.
Mercury is not a "pseudoiodine". It's structure is not even close enough to occupy iodine receptors.
Didn't say it was occupying the thyroid receptors. I said it BLOCKED the thyroid receptors.
LOL!!! Slow down for a second and think really hard about this "genius". In order to block the receptor is has to occupy that receptor!!!
I DID post however that it can occupy the receptors of the hormones circulating in the bloodstream, rendering them useless.
You have said a lot of things that are not true.

"Mercury also has an affinity to bind to thyroid hormone rendering it available to be counted in blood tests, but inactive as far as function is concerned."
Any evidence to this other than opinion sites not backing up their claims?
Also keep in mind that mercury has a high affinity for fats, which is why the brain is so affected by mercury. The thyroid is not a primary target of mercury.
Of course it is, Doofus.

Again, you keep referencing opinion sites that have not backed up their claims with any real evidence. Do you have any real evidence?
"Studies have documented that mercury causes hypothyroidism"...
"As for hyperthyroidism, the most common causes of this are autoimmunity, which is not caused by heavy metals and excess iodine."
Lol- and you think "autoimmunity" just pops out of thin air? Mercury is the lead cause of autoimmunity.
Once again you have absolutely NO clue of what you are talking about. Most autoimmune conditions have been linked to pathogens. And there is adrenal dysfunction involved as well, which does not involve mercury either. I have addressed the real causes of autoimmunity numerous times in previous posts and my Autoimmunity write up.
But since you think you are such an expert on autoimmunity please explain to everyone here what autoantibodies are, why they form and what their role is in autoimmune conditions. If you can answer these then you will also know why mercury is not involved.
You are obviously the one who needs to do some research.
I do a lot of research. The difference is I research credible sources, not pseudoscientific, make up the facts as they go along propaganda sites like you do.
Thanks for demonstrating in public what an enemy to mankind you are, spouting off your dogma-laden, evil and ignorant pseudo-knowledge. You know nothing about health, healing, Truth, Reality, Mercury, or Iodine and should be banned from not just this website but all of existence.
When people start researching the subject from credible sites instead of your propaganda sites they are going to see how ignorant on the subject you really are and they will see even further past your games. When people respond to me with the name calling and personal attacks as you routinely do they are doing it out of desperation. If they wanted to shut me up they would post real evidence I cannot disprove. When they can't do this their only option left is to attack me relentlessly to try and drive me away so I will not present the truth anymore. So keep attacking me MichaelB because you are just showing everyone that you are clueless about the subject and therefore have nothing to come back with of substance to shut me up.
