graham: yes you’re right it\u2019s a metal but I\u2019m trying to give a\u00a0 general public lecture here so I have to generalize\u00a0 a lot . Metallic mercury is possibly a hazard to us if you ingest it. Some of you know that metallic mercury was used in the medical industry to cure constipation. The techniques involved taking a draft of metallic mercury sitting on a commode and the blockage was cleared.\u00a0 it\u2019s not as\u00a0 bad as all that l if people I could do\u00a0 that and survive with no apparent ill effects\u00a0 then\u00a0 it can\u2019t be deadly as\u00a0 all that but it is true that there is a lot of concern these\u00a0 days about\u00a0 a type\u00a0 of bacteria in about guts call sulphate\u00a0 reducers. Perhaps at any given time as many as 50% goof we might have sulphate reducers in our guts. What sulphate reducers can do is they can take the mercuric mercury or the forms of mercury that are organic salts and elemental mercury and they can turn them into the neuro toxic methyl mercury spaces\u00a0\u00a0 that we know are deadly.\u00a0 It\u2019s recently been found that these sulphate reducers can do that and whether or not they actually do that in our guys we don\u2019t know that an unknown.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: what about the mercury content of wild salmon?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: wild salmon aren\u2019t particularly high on mercury compared to things like salt fish and tuna. I don\u2019t know how much we should worry about eating fish because as you heard the data that the guilds that the data is bead on is ambiguous. I am content to eating wild salmon myself but I\u2019ve stopped eating salt fish and shark<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
audience that actually was my second\u00a0 question\u00a0 but my first questions do you have\u00a0 any information as to how \u00a0much of the mythl mercury in the fish is humanly\u00a0 introduced in the last\u00a0 century or so\u00a0 and\u00a0 how much\u00a0\u00a0 of it is naturally reoccurring?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
graham: I don\u2019t have direct information on that but my direct understanding is mercury has been in\u00a0 Iran for very many years and \u00a0some of it from our\u00a0 activity , form human being introducing\u00a0 mercury into he environment , most of it was there all along . It\u2019s been there a very long time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: it looked like you spectrum showed not only methyl mercury system but methyl mercury chloride?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham:\u00a0 there is no methyl mercury chloride there. We didn\u2019t find it there e.\u00a0 Those were things we checked in examples.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience it wasn\u2019t clear which one was the data<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: the little dots were the data.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: why is there a higher reports of mercury in farm `fish?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: there isn\u2019t, its lower. The concern with farm fish is too do with PCB and other toxins.\u00a0 We run a piece of fish we can always tell which one is the farm one. The vendor may say this is wild court which of course s more expensive, we’ll know. The mercury is really low in the farm one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: you spoke about <inaudible><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: this is a very touchy subject. I didn\u2019t want to really elaborate on it too much. a few years ago\u00a0 it was suggested\u00a0 primrose which is a compound\u00a0 ,\u00a0 its methyl mercury they soliciolite,\u00a0 it was introduced in vaccines in the 1930s\u00a0\u00a0 it\u2019s been there a long time and it was\u00a0 introduce as a bacteria\u00a0 side\u00a0 and a fungus side.\u00a0 They put it in little bottles of vaccines that many needles go into. Something like your flu shots. Many needles go into that big bottle and they want something in there to prevent any accidental infections that might be introduce. It should be sterol but of course it\u2019s never perfect form growing. You don\u2019t want to introduce a culture of some miscellaneous bacteria into someone\u2019s bloodstream. They put this stuff in there to stop bacteria and fungi growing in vaccines. The controversy is all about the use in childhood vaccines its being discontinues in third country as\u00a0\u00a0 mentioned. It been discontinues in many civilized country. in\u00a0 act two weeks ago I was in\u00a0 the paper in the united\u00a0 kingdom because it\u00a0 had just\u00a0 been discontinued in the united kingdom and\u00a0 do the daily telegraph and mail a couple of others carried this\u00a0 story and\u00a0\u00a0 it\u2019s a big deal .<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The medical establishment is firms of the opinion\u00a0\u00a0 that priomerocel is not a problem. Here\u2019s what I think. I think its crazy stuff to have in vaccine. It\u00a0\u00a0 was introduced in the 1930s, we know its neuro toxic why on earth\u00a0\u00a0 are we putting a Nero toxic thing in a vaccine to begin with. this is a\u00a0 arcaake molecule that\u00a0 should\u00a0 get approve thse days\u00a0\u00a0 that\u2019s my personal opinion and I\u2019m going a bit\u00a0 out on a lab. I don\u2019t know whether or not that it cause s autism. I don\u2019t know whether it causes ill effects in anybody and I don\u2019t know that anyone knows for sure either. There was a recent study from Colonel that showed that some of the symptoms\u00a0\u00a0 of autism occurred when mice of a particular strain and it was a strain dependent thing that was given primprcel. strange things happen with\u00a0 autism , there is social isolation , also autistic children brain tend to be a title\u00a0 larger, the mice had larger\u00a0 brains , they showed isolation like symptoms so this study perhaps was the first compelling\u00a0 evidence that I know of . It was published in a journal called Molecular Psychiatry. There is no form tie between mercury and autism. I think we might as well get rid of it. If we understood how mercury was bound in the brain we might be able to design a custom collator to get rid of it. That\u2019s kind of farfetched but you never know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: you said that <inaudible> in their diet when they’re taking supplement pills?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham:\u00a0 why? Selenium has been linked in a good way with the incident of prostate cancer in men. Basically it\u2019s a study that used cyelulizzed yeast which is yeast that has been grown up in a background f selenium. They use selenium yeast because they can smell the selenium compounds, the difference between the placebos when our compounds were used but when they used something a bit stinky like yeast they couldn\u2019t smell it. they use this yeast and they\u00a0 used regular yeast and they\u00a0 use\u00a0 regular yeast and they gave them pills made\u00a0 of the solemnized yeast\u00a0 and there was an unexpected\u00a0 and really striking beneficial effect . The incidents of prostate cancer was really reduced in the group that had the selenium and since then people all over the place have been taking it, it\u2019s advised. It\u2019s a good idea to take selenium but I would caution you that not every selenium supplements contain the same thing. We\u2019ve looked at bottles of selenium suppliants on the shelf from health food stores m even the same vendors with same batches they have remarkably different compositions. Who knows whether they are helping or not.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: the study was done with yeast and we know how yeast changes the retinal fluoride to get you\u2019re <inaudible><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: the yeast will probably be killed by the acids into the ` stomach, it won\u2019t change the intestinal flora.\u00a0 It\u2019s not going to survive your stomach.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: I was told that when we\u2019re going to through menopause we should take aluminium. started taking it and I\u00a0 didn\u2019t\u00a0 really prepare\u00a0 for it but then when I started alternating\u00a0 it\u00a0 and not\u00a0 taking it every day it does seem to have some\u00a0 physical\u00a0 affect<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: you might try a different\u00a0\u00a0 form. One form you could try is too take a brazil nut every day. Brazil nuts come in two varieties, those with shells and those without shells on. Those with shells on they are harvested from the wild and we know what they contain, they contain\u00a0\u00a0 a form of Selene called Selina methionine and its very pure. They\u2019re an awful lot of it.\u00a0 the ones with shells on they are harvested form the\u00a0 wild from trees , brazil nut trees are about\u00a0\u00a0 50 feet high and the brazil buts are packed in little elements\u00a0 into\u00a0 this\u00a0 great big\u00a0 grapefruit sized thing , it would probably kill you if it landed on your head .\u00a0 They go and they pick these things up and they crack them all open and in the parts of Brazil that actually have the technology to remove the shells there is no negligible selenium in the soil. those sell brazil nuts don\u2019t\u00a0\u00a0 contain much selenium but if you have tome ones\u00a0\u00a0 with the shells on they come from different part of brazil and it\u2019s a good job they don\u2019t have the technology to remove the shells because if you eat a lot of them like you would do perhaps if you didn\u2019t have to crack the shell off then you would probably get pinioned.\u00a0 They one shell of Brazil nut per day.\u00a0 It\u2019s good for us, all of us need it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: what about pumpkin seeds?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: I would imagine it would depend on where the pumpkin is grown. Ii don\u2019t know anything about the form of selenium in pumpkin seeds but I bet you your garden night be quite different than half moon bay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: it\u2019s my understanding that mercury will appear to organs how will you test if you suspected some kind of mercury.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: I don\u2019t know about that. What it will do is it will get into your blood stream and it will find itself in your metabolism. Not much is none about its molecular form inside us in its nervous system. The experiments that needs to be done are to take pieces of tissues and put them in the x-ray bean and understand them. What we\u2019re going to be doing I hope is to get pieces of people, samples of people who naturally have a lot of mercury in their bodies I. I hope we would be able to do those experiments in due course. Hopefully I understand hats going on.\u00a0 Also sample of brains of people who have died in road accidents and things like that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: can Brazilian nuts be beneficial to the prostate and if so where would you put them?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: you would put them in your mouth chew tem up and swallow them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: is it wise to do analysis of near toxin affects afar finding one who is infected?\u00a0\u00a0 Couldn\u2019t one work backwards doing animal studies? Is this exposure so rare that it shouldn\u2019t be worth the trouble?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: I think it\u2019s worth understanding because it will give us a clue as to how methyl mercury poison us when we eat too much methyl mercury in fish. It\u2019s certainly worth studying. most of us here probably eaten fish at\u00a0 one time or\u00a0 another . I love fish, I eat maybe two meals per week.\u00a0 In the say shells they eat two meals per day so they eat more than I do.\u00a0 We will need to expand the study to try understand where it gives there\u2019s a lot to do. What I did mention right at the end this is only something that has recently ben doable. We haven\u2019t always been bale t these experiments. We basically had a threefold or thousand fold increase into few years we have been doing these experiments<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: are you aware of people investigating commercial applications of things like selulized yeast?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham: there is certainly a lot of commercial selulized yeast. Tons of different health food companies make the stuff but they seem to vary widely in hats in them. Most of the selenium in many of the samples we have looked at tends to be alpha elemental selenium which is the red form. That\u2019s bio unavailable it will pass straight through you without doing you jolly good. I reckon that you should eat Brazil nuts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audience: one of the main things that I come to these is the face that we have free cookies outside. I\u2019m anxious to get them. Could I eat and introduce many as I can. Graham I\u2019m sure would be delighted to continue to answer questions and in fact we have other scientist who are out there you can recognise them because they have their names stick not their chest. If you would like to continue please go outside we can have a soft drink but before that let\u2019s thank graham for a fantastic job<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
