In the lab, enzymes have been clocked doing Two Million Reactions Per Minute ! (2,000,000 /min.) That means in a 24-hour period, they can do their job 2,880,000,000 times. Two Billion, Eight Hundred Eighty Million Reactions per Day)

At that speed, these guys could count our national debt in only 1,875 days. (5.1 years)

Today a typical adult carries ten Amalgams weighing a total of about ten grams, of which five grams is mercury. What little research there is on the rate at which mercury escapes Amalgam suggests about half a gram of mercury will escape from these ten fillings over the ten-year life of these fillings, and most of this mercury will be absorbed by the bearer of the amalgams. To put a half-gram in context, consider these facts: Half a gram of mercury dropped into a ten-acre lake warrants the promulgation of a fish advisory for the lake in Minnesota; the tennis shoes with mercury in them that were banned by the Minnesota legislature in 1994 contained half a gram of mercury per shoe. (0.5 gram in a 180 lb. body produces a concentration of 6.168 PPM.

There are about 1,501,430,636,558,496,585,414 atoms in 0.5 grams of mercury. Each and every atom of mercury is able to disable an enzyme or other critical protein in your body. Over ten years, if the body fails to remove this mercury, a lot of damage can be done. This 0.5 grams of mercury can produce a potential loss of 4,324,120,233,288,470,165,993,719,156,572 chemical reactions in your body.

That number of seconds equals 137,023,101,670,864,392,919,414.6 years.

As you can see, it is quite difficult to grasp the scale on which all these chemical reactions are occurring, and we are only considering one source of mercury and this one toxic atom. Tweet
