Using the Andy Cutler Protocol

to Address Mercury Poisoning

By Rebecca Rust Lee

ercury is poisonous. However, mercury’s effects

are very often misunderstood because the havoc it
Mcauses can masquerade under a variety of differ-
ent names, including autism, chronic fatigue and multiple

sclerosis. Mercury can affect practically every system in

the body, producing a staggering array of symptoms rang-
ing from anxiety and depression to full-blown psychosis;
from asthma and allergies to autoimmune disorders; from

scrambled hormones to neurological disease. There are lit-
1
erally hundreds of other symptoms of mercury poisoning.
Different people experience different mercury toxicity symptoms,
depending on their individual biochemistry, but many people carry around
a mercury burden that is more than their body can manage. Although symp-
toms may come and go, mercury-related illness typically is progressive. A
person might start off with anxiety and depression, treat the anxiety and
feel better for a while, and then go on to develop hypothyroidism, allergies
and asthma. Other common heavy metals like lead, arsenic and antimony
have similar properties and display similar patterns of symptom variation
from person to person.
