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\\u2019s no doubt about it: mercury is the most alarming, disease-causing source of environmental toxicity that I see daily in my practice. 


In today\\u2019s episode of my series I\\u2019m 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.
