Methylmercury from fish and inorganic mercury from dental amalgams behave completely differently in the body — they go to different tissues, create different symptoms, and require different approaches. A protocol that doesn’t account for speciation isn’t treating the right thing.
Dr. Chris Shade joins the fx Medicine by BioCeuticals Podcast to walk through the various species of mercury, how they interact synergistically with other heavy metals and environmental pollutants, and why that layered complexity requires a layered clinical response. Drawing on his background as an environmental chemist, organic farmer, and researcher, Dr. Shade explains how he developed the comprehensive detoxification systems — including the liposomal technology that changed what’s possible in nutrient delivery — that came directly from this understanding of synergistic metal toxicity.
