DE-MER-TOX ™

De-Mer-Tox™ Heavy Metal Detoxification Support DESCRIPTION De-Mer-Tox™ capsules, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, contain several vitamins and other dietary constituents that support heavy metal detoxification and may protect against the toxic results of amalgam filling removal. FUNCTIONS “Silver” amalgam tooth fillings are known to continuously release highly neurotoxic mercury vapor into the mouth where it is then absorbed into the brain. This mercury release is greatly accentuated during the extensive grinding required for the replacement of old amalgam fillings. There is some evidence that adverse metabolic and behavioral effects may be associated with this mercury exposure from dental amalgam fillings. Although symptoms of chronic, low level mercury exposure may be relatively non-descript, severe signs of toxicity may appear later in life. Research has shown that chronic inhalation of low levels of mercury vapor can inhibit polymerization of the brain protein tubulin which is
