I have a friend who gose spearfishing alot, at least once a week, catching makeral and all that stuff and they eat everything hey catch. Well her father decided to have one of the fish tested for mercury this time (why i haven't the foggiest), so he chopped it up and shipped it off to a friend of his at a lab.
The mackeral had 1.0 mg/kg DL units of mercury in it.
Is that bad? How bad is it? I don't know squat about it and every where i go i can't find any thing out. Dose any one here know?

i'd like to know this too. its very rare that you see an actual amount. usually all i see are general terms like 'high', or 'low'.
does anyone know what amount the WHO use for fish, and in people?

"At present, there is no suitable boilogical index of the mercury concentration in critical organs such as the brain..."Handbook on the Toxicology of Metals, Vol 2 pg. 402 fr Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment pg. 8(3) "Blood mercury levels should not exceed 100 parts per billion (ppb)."Thomas Eyl, MD fr It's All In Your Head by Dr. Hal Huggins pg. 34(3) "...a few micrograms... ...severely disturb[s] cellular function... ...mercury inhibits the growth of nerve fibers at much lower concentration."R. P. Sharma & E. J. Obersteiner fr It's All In Your Head by Dr. Hal Huggins pg. 34(3) "Alfred Stock, Ph. D., of Germany (1939) and I.M. Trakhtenberg, Ph. D., of Russisa (1969) identified toxicity at very low levels. Dr. Stock found problems if the air contained 2 micrograms per cubic meter (2 mcg/m3) and Dr. Trakhtenberg found problems at 1 mcg/m3."fr It's All In Your Head by Dr. Hal Huggins pg. 34(3) "The FDA recently acknowledged that in the first six months of life children get more mercury than is considered safe by the EPA. The truth is that sometimes kids go to their doctor?s office and get four or five vaccines at the same time. My grandson received vaccines for nine different diseases in one day. He may have been exposed to 62.5 micrograms of mercury in one day through his vaccines. According to his weight, the maximum safe level of mercury he should be exposed to in one day is 1.51 micrograms. This is forty-one times the amount at which harm can be caused."Opening Statement Dan Burton (R-IN), Chairman Government Reform Committee ?Mercury in Medicine ? Are We Taking Unnecessary Risks?? "...average adult dose without harm... 0.2 ug/kg/day"U.S. EPA (1996) "0.47 ug/kg/day"WHO (World Health Organization)

i have 15ug/g of creatine. the test says that 3ug/g of creatine is the limit. so i'm about 5 times the upper limit but it depends on who you use as the guide. in the end it doesnt really matter to me, any amount is too much. a couple of stats stick out in my mind: mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive metal. Mercury is not an essential element so any amount could be toxic.
i have heard that michael moores next documentary is going to be about pharmacetical companies. i wonder if he will touch on mercury amalgams?
