After reading what you said yesterday about the amount of fish you eat every week then that doesn't really surprise me. I think it's well known that there can be high levels of mercury in fish and tuna has higher levels than other fish and yesterday you said you eat "loads" of fish, and said
I eat fresh sashimi grade tuna cod haddock salmon . Fish x5 times a week
As I said yesterday, cut down on your fish, this will reduce your iodine intake and hopefully eventually your mercury level may reduce. But you could discuss with your doctor, see what s/he suggests as a way to reduce your level or detox.
Hi thank you so much for replying .
Yes no tuna and fishes detoxing x researching what else I can do and start a protocol.
Thank you again x

Chouchou1234,
Reading above, yes tuna is a prime contributor of mercury. So are amalgam teeth fillings and I had all mine removed 8 years ago and had to chelate for months using DMSA, binders and antioxidants.
We get high levels of heavy metals not only from ingestion but because an excess may over-burden our detox systems or metals become inaccessible embedded in deep tissue/organs. Therefore, just reducing intake may not be enough to recover sensible levels and you might need to incorporate some other supports that help actually eliminate toxic load.
I don’t have metal fillings.
I’m very stressed and will speak to my doctor Monday. Very very
Stressed
chouchou - don’t panic 🙂 There are many ways to eliminate mercury, it’s ubiquitous and there are so many protocols and products made for this exact thing, you will be able to sort it out I am sure! Something as basic as TRS detox spray might do it!
Additionally, you know the source - the fish - so the likelihood is that it’ll start to hugely drop as you cut the source. Support yourself by eating and sleeping well to optimise your own detox pathways and I’m sure it’ll come down on it’s own now the fish is gone 🙂
thank you for the message. I just googled it looks great.
Does this work? I’m very impatient and want to get rid of it quickly - so need to tell myself not too. What are the side effects? Have you used it ?
I’ve ordered glutathione and vitamin c
Side note
I’m in tears. I had small dinner at 8pm and fell asleep as not sleeping well but couldn’t digest . Pain upper right side
. This is happening everyday almost . I took my night t3 and fell asleep woke up hour later in so much pain it’s upper right quadrant and vomited all undigested food.
So getting weaker by the day .
I can’t even lift my arms up .
Thank you again
Xxx
Chouchou, I am so sorry you’re having this intensely bad time. The stress of it sounds like it is also adding an extra layer of difficulty. Try not to blame yourself as I saw you did in another comment. We’ve all done/tried things that have backfired, and we’ve all had our reasons to do it. Cut yourself some slack.
In my experience, TRS does work, yes. There is a Facebook group that’s good and can give you specific mercury detox guidance. Your gastro may also be able to come up with some chelators as it sounds like he did the test?
BTW - I would suggest you steer clear of the “Andy cutler heavy metal detox” if you see that name around… just very punitive on the system and better to try least invasive methods first.
I’ll find the link for the TRS group x
This was the group I was in when I had very high levels of lead and wanted to use TRS x
thank you xx so much
Another night of no sleep in pain trying to digest .
Thank you 🙏
depending on what your doctor says, this is the product -
also. It may be of some comfort to look up Mark Hyman. Personally I find him quite… “salesy” shall we say, but back in the day he had a bad experience with mercury poisoning. He’s now completely fine 🙂
Can I ask where you got your test done as I have often wondered about my fillings? I read that they are harmless but I'd like to know for sure. I sent off a hair sample to be tested for sensitivities which included metals but think the company might be a scam as I have not received a reply.
hi I got my gastro doctor to do it on NHS . Finally it was a blood test and doing a pee test on Monday. About 2 years ago he test lead and aluminium but now will ask the full works.
How interesting. I am under a gastro who I see nextF riday so will mention it to him.
I had to beg for this test it wasn’t offered.
I think because I was always low weight - it’s a pat on the head you’re anorexic that’s why you’re tired and can’t move. Erm … now I’m heaviest I’ve ever been and more tired . etc
there Are various heavy metal blood test and urine tests inthink
Xx
Good luck
Thanks. you seem to have to beg for everything these days
I was very ill with extreme levels of mercury. The rule I follow: no tuna, swordfish or other large fish. Ever.This was not easy at first especially as I had frequently chosen these fish at business lunches.
I do not have farmed fish so, for example, I choose wild salmon. There are lots of different small fish species available both oily (e.g. sardines) and other.
My level of that dangerous toxin, mercury, has been normal now for over a decade.
what was your level? Mine 128 . No idea 🤷♀️ what that means .
Max is 25.
How did you detox?
Thank you
Mine is all from ridiculous amount of eating tuna . I have had disordered eating and thought tuna was a ‘safe’ food. Embarrassing to say
You need not feel embarrassed. This country (UK) has been very slow to warn people of the dangers of eating large fish.
I don't recall the number, just that it was at Critical level - higher than my doctor had ever seen. It was tested in the US in the early 2000s. I was told then to stop eating all tuna, swordfish and any other large fish.
Our oceans are so polluted that the longer fish live in them (large fish) the more mercury they ingest. Australia was quite aware of the problem with the oceans also, and of the increasing number of people with higher than healthy mercury levels.
By the way, as part of my effort to reduce my levels of mercury, I had my amalgam fillings removed in 2004. I knew many people in Sydney (where I lived then) having their amalgam fillings replaced.
what symptoms did you have. I’m not sure if my exhaustion is thyroid and not able to eat carbs or toxicity or combined
Exhaus
Sorry - finger pressed wrong button.Yes, I had meant to say that I was very exhausted. Toxins cause fatigue - I could not believe the difference when my levels returned to normal. That took quite a few months.
Because my levels were so high, I had supervised chelation therapy. I doubt that GPs know about it. It takes a highly qualified, professionally trained naturopath or similar and needs careful supervision.
I read about that but I’m so frail I’m so scared to do unsupervised.
I mean it’s so high do I go to hospital? I remember Tony Robbins doing a talk and he suffered from mercury poisoning and his was 126 … and he’s 6ft 7 … and he reports he nearly died he was so ill.
what I have noticed recently - memory is shockingly good and i remember ramdom details numbers almost photographic memory then the past 2 years for definite I don’t remember anything can’t find words but really bad.
How long does it take to detox? I’m so worried I can’t digest anything and my creatine is low my muscles are wasting away.
I contacted a professor of toxicology today and sent details to my gastro .
Thank you I’m just panicking a lot
Given your comments on your physical health, the detox is absolutely NOT for you. I was quite young and in reasonable health.
Also meant to say. The US testing I did had a different scale from here and different from the Australian scale. I do not think a straightforward comparison is possible
Would vitamin c help with removing mercury from your system?
I am taking liposomal c and starting glutathione too
I have been on high doses of NAC 1200mcg a day
Wow …. A friend of my husband just recently went into the hospital for scan of his kidney and liver and when he went back to talk to doctor about his scans the doctor asked him what are you eating?? He said I eat sushi everyday for lunch, why? Stop Eating Sushi you have WORMS in your liver.. eww apparently this can happen so Im not shocked about mercury poisoning from Tuna.
check out medical medium heavy metal detox smoothie, can highly recommend.
medicalmedium.com/blog/heav...
yes I do celery juice . Will start but can’t have orange juice and my iodine is slightly high so the dulse is very high iodine?
I dont have orange juice in mine either ( I add vit c powder instead ), its the rest of the ingredients are the most important for removing heavy metals. I really dont think the dulse will do you any harm even with high iodine levels. But if you want to make absolutely sure, you can join this forum and ask someone more professional. They will definitely help you.
great thank you
My concern now is it takes years ? To detox? I can’t even stand up I always thought it was thyroid.
It’s an absolute fortune to be healthy. But ordering now.
Worse thing is this is all self inflicted on my self by eating so much tuna due to years of body dysmorphia and very hypo thyroid undiagnosed
Thank you
Don't. Dulse is seaweed so high in iodine. The medical medium does not base his advice on scientific facts so be careful what you take from his writings.
yes that’s my concern . I was celery juicing and ended up with severe sun allergy . Xx
128 ! Range is 0- 25 - what unit of measurement?
From the Healthline link:
0 to 9 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) are normal and do not present a concern. A level of 10 to 15 ng/mL indicates mild exposure. Anything over 50 ng/mL may indicate heavy exposure to organic mercury.
Apparently cilantro "dislodges" mercury and chlorella "escorts" it of the body (rather thank letting it settle elsewhere). I don't know if it mentions that in the (random) link below, but I came across that about 20years ago when I was researching amalgam removals.
herbamedicine.com/powerful-...
thank you I read that too.
Jeeez I must be so toxic . Maybe that’s why I can’t digest anything? Exhaustion ? Numbness? I thought was thyroid
In a pickle
Thanks
thank you for the link z
Mercury from amalgam and tuna are different. As Dr Joel Wallach says: not all mercury is bad. He is expert on minerals so i believe him. Also i have a friend who had high mercury in blood from eating tuna everyday for years and he is completely heathy.
that’s reassuring xx .
