My Experience With Mercury Toxicity

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Joovv. Mercury enters our bodies from many different sources, including mercury vapors in ambient air, ingestion via drinking water, fish, dental amalgams, occupational exposures, home exposures, over-the-counter products, and more. There’s no doubt about it: mercury is the most alarming, disease-causing source of environmental toxicity that I see daily in my practice.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I share my own experience with mercury issues and give you a comprehensive plan for reducing your exposure and healing from mercury toxicity.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Joovv.
