Nice try, Troll

 LOL!!!  Mercury does not increase estrogen 

Of course it does. And in many ways: (a) accumulation in the endocrine system; (b) specific cytotoxicity in endocrine tissues; (c) changes in hormone concentrations; (d) interactions with sex hormones; and (e) up-regulation or down-regulation of enzymes within the steroidogenesis pathway.

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.

Mercury is the number 1 cause of adrenal dysfunction, directly localising and affecting the gland and indirectly through the steroidogenesis pathways. Read again:

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.

Mostly your ignorance then.

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:

That is the problem with your making up lies MichaelB.  There are always people willing to expose your lies.

Learn to comprehend, fool. The thread is asking about hyperthyroidism. And you claimed iodine supplementation won't cure it, which is BS.

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!!! 

You are truly dumber than the boards give you credit for. Mercury can block 1 or more of the 4 iodine receptor sites. It does not mean it "occupies" the specific chemical bond that iodine is meant to have.

"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?"

You are pathetic! Stop wasting my time with this "no evidence" crap. The 'real studies' showing 'real evidence' are all referenced in that website: over 50 of them.

Once again you have absolutely NO clue of what you are talking about.  Most autoimmune conditions have been linked to pathogens.  

Pathogens can only proliferate with an impaired immune system. Mercury directly kills immune cells through fragmenting the nuclei and damaging the cell membrane integrity. Cells that are not killed are significantly damaged. Polymorphonuclear leukocyte functions such as phagocytosis and adherence are negatively impaired. Mercury also inhibits mitogen-induced proliferative responses in lymphocytes. 

 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.

Mercury binds directly to the major-histocompatibility-complex peptide as well as T cell receptors, thereby chemically altering them and acting as a mechanism for producing MHC-dependant autoantibodies. It also binds B and T cells together.  

It has long been known scientifically that metals like zinc, mercury, nickel and beryllium activate lymphocytes to proliferation in the absence of mitogenic lectins. It is known as "metal induced lymphoproliferation".

Not only does Mercury proliferate B and T-lmyphocytes, it also increases the interleukin expression, the expression of class 1 and class 2 major histocompatibility complex molecule of various cell types, leads to hypergammaglobulinemia with increases in serum immuniglobulins Ig G and E, and increases the expression of polyclonal antibodies into self-antigens as well as non-self-antigens.

Once again- 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.

There is nothing 'pseudoscientific' about reality, or the endless volumes of research done by intelligent and ligitimate teams of scientists and doctors to demonstrate the nature of that reality. You are just a jackass, that's all.

(bitching truncated) ... shut me up.

I just did!
