Fascinating, but I need to learn more -- I also saw a functional medicine doc for most of 2023, did many blood tests, and she was concerned with my mercury and lead levels.
But upon researching, there isn't really a consensus on what's "too much" of either of these, or what's a "normal level" and it seems like it is something many functional medicine docs point to...which raises my suspicion levels a bit if it's the "one thing" that is causing so many ailments.

Interesting! Would definitely recommend the book- Toxic by Neil Nathan. Found that very valuable.. But yes, it's all a bit of a mine field isn't it..
