Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

So I wanted to do a video on mercury toxicity.

First thing, let's talk about the symptoms.

Muscle weakness, poor coordination, which is damage in the brain usually.

Peripheral neuropathy.

That's a problem in your fingertips or your toes where you have numbness,

burning, tingling, tight pain, or sensation. Skin rashes, anxiety, what's that, poor memory,

trouble speaking, trouble hearing, trouble seeing. And then you also have a series of symptoms that relate to higher amounts of adrenaline, like excessive sweating, tachycardia, which is increased pulse rate,

increased salivation, high blood pressure, and insomnia. And that is because Mercury binds with Sammy. It blocks the

ability for Sam E to work. Maybe you've heard about or seen Sammy in certain nutritional products.

Well, Sammy is needed for adrenaline breakdown. It's needed to break down certain neurotransmitters. And so if you

can't break down adrenaline, for example, you have too much adrenaline. So that's one of the

problems with mercury. The second problem with mercury is that it inhibits selenium, especially the

selino enzymes or the enzymes that work with selenium. So,

Mercury inhibits those enzymes, which have everything to do with being an antioxidant. So,

for example, the brain, which consumes a tremendous amount of oxygen. So we have a lot of

oxidation, not many antioxidants. You're going to have a lot of problems with

muscle weakness, poor coordination, poor memory. Those are all related to the brain. And also,

you need these enzymes with selenium to restore vitamin C and vitamin E networks. So without selenium,

you're going to have a much lowered antioxidant network.

Now, if your child is toxic with mercury, there are some slightly different symptoms.

The child might have red cheeks or nose. Now, just because your child has red cheeks or
