Hair Loss Alert: Mercury poisoning
Many
times, patients experiencing some hair loss may go helter skelter trying to
determine what is causing their hair to break or fall out to an alarming
degree.
Many times, patients experiencing some hair loss may go
helter skelter trying to determine what is causing their hair to break or fall
out to an alarming degree. In fact, even their doctor may be bewildered as to
what is causing the patient to experience hair loss when she has been doing
everything possible to live a healthy life. One possible suspect that is
causing your hair loss though is mercury poisoning.
Why mercury poisoning? Mercury poisoning is probably more
widely prevalent in our society than we realize. There is one case of mercury
poisoning of a five-year-old girl (the daughter of mystery writer Ayelet
Waldman) who became a victim because she loved to eat tuna. Mercury is
considered a neurotoxin that can cause brain damage, and to a certain extent,
hair loss (among a host of other problems.)
The National Academy of Sciences believes that mercury
poisoning is caused by society dumping its pollution into the earth’s bodies of
water. In turn, fish consume the mercury simply because they have no choice,
since they live in the polluted water all the time. The Academy recommends that
if you have to eat fish, choose those varieties which tend to have low mercury
levels. Note that the Academy did not say zero mercury levels ? perhaps that is
not possible due to the level of pollution of our earthly habitats at present.
The fish that are at the highest point of the earthly food chain (meaning, the
big fish like tuna or swordfish) are the ones that generally have the greatest
accumulation of mercury in their bodies because they eat more of the smaller
fish that are first exposed to mercury as a pollutant.
Another way you can get mercury poisoning is by having a
dental amalgam implanted into your defective teeth, which contains mercury. The
mercury becomes processed over time in your mouth into a vapor (gas) so that
you have no choice but to inhale it everyday. As much as 50% of the dental
amalgam which a dentist may use for your teeth could be made up of mercury
actually.
If mercury toxicity or mercury poisoning is really the
culprit, you may experience hair loss regardless of whether you are male or
female.
Should you feel alarmed by the possibility that you or
someone you know is undergoing mercury poisoning, you can always have a Hair
Tissue Mineral Analysis done. This means that the minerals that make up your
hair will be examined closely to find out what minerals seem to be present and
in what volumes. There are many illnesses that could be caused by a surplus or
a deficiency of certain minerals so a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis could be
useful to find any underlying yet hidden medical conditions as well in the
patient. The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis becomes even more important if you
have so many strange symptoms , and other tests and check ups cannot reveal what
is the cause. Hair loss can also be indicative of the existence of other types
of illnesses as well.
