I take it the majority of people here avoid seafood all together. I do too, but i must say I do miss my salmon. Do you think it's still a bad idea to include wild alaskan salmon in my diet considering the following: "Alaskan salmon are among the purest of all ocean species. In addition to residing in the most remote and pristine waters left on earth, Alaskan salmon are relatively small, short-lived fish that feed at the lower end of the food chain. Consequently they grow free of hazardous levels of contaminants found in larger, longer-lived carnivorous species." http://www.deliciousorganics.com/controversies/mercuryinfish.htm

Hi JK98,
True, it might be ok. I'm just saying that we are always told the risks are low, but I often wonder what their idea of low is, and what our body's idea is....because we became poisoned in the first place indicates that low level toxicity from mercury is indeed an issue for those with reduced capacity to excrete what they take in. For healthy people, this is insignificant.
I guess it depends how sick a person is. I'm pretty sure Cutler doesn't think there is much of a problem with it either. I personally choose to stay away. I cannot handle anything making me worse.
Coming from someone who can't even enter a dental office without becoming more poisoned, that should indicate that I really cannot handle it at all. I'd love to eat my sardines again, since they are one of the healthiest foods to consume, but I'm just too scared frankly. I can't trust myself at all. I'm always teetering on the edge of a complete breakdown in health. If I was a bit stronger, like I once was? (even with my mercury toxicity), I'd probably be ok.

Here's a link to the vital choice brand of red salmon which is recommended by Mercola. It seems like the best choice and has been lab tested. Costs around $7 a can here... quite hefty, but better than take out. I can afford about 2 x cans a week. http://www.mercola.com/forms/salmon.htm

$7 a can? How large? Imo eating ordinary sardines at about $1 a can might be a more sensible idea. Most salmon is safe enough though, especially if one is eating under a pound a week total. Sometimes there is inexpensive salmon available. I don't mind paying a bit more for extra quality, however I avoid $7 small cans of fish.
One could diversify the type and brands of fish they eat if they are worried that a specific batch might be higher in mercury. While some batches do test higher than others, with low mercury fish such as salmon or sardines, even if a batch has double the average level of mercury, the total amount of mercury in a small can is still quite small. One needs to be reasonable about this, and not be too fearful. Salmon or sardines has around 1/20 th the level of mercury that tuna has. Mercury tends to concentrate in larger and older saltwater fish that eat plenty of other fish, such as tuna, swordfish, bass, etc. Sardines tend to have a very short life span. Salmon are freshwater, and also have a very limited lifespan.
