You cannot find what you refuse to see.I don't mean to dispute, at least not really... but I am not aware of any worldwide mercury poisoning... would you not think if widspread, it would leak into even our corrupt news outlets? perhaps not.
Mercury Emissions: The Global Context | US EPA
Mercury emissions are a global problem that knows no national or continental boundaries. Mercury that is emitted to the air can travel thousands of miles in the atmosphere before it is eventually deposited back to the earth.

Yes, of course, getting to be an old geezer, I have a ton of concerns, perhaps even a bit of paranoia/OCD. Tons of causes of cardiac/circulation problems... I work out often eat pretty well, though the Peat "system" is, I think, a bit flawed and difficult to really follow (most OJ is not fresh, most meat is not "grass-fed", lots of plain white sugar may or may not be that great, tons of supplements, ditto)... I take enzymes, Lumbrokinase and serrapeptase regularly (I do not get along with nattokinase, but it is worthy)... I had a Calcium score CT done a while ago, score zero... but yes, concerned.

You let them do a CT scan on you?
It's apparent to me that you haven't spent much time studying Ray Peat's work. Here's 2-3 links if you care to actually read Ray Peat and listen to him:
for written articles: PeatSearch: a Ray Peat-specific search engine - Toxinless use the search cell that excludes the forum.
for audio interviews: bioenergetic search
and this one:
Ray Peat related sites directory (MarshmalloW) Spend some time listening to the Politics and Science interviews; they let Peat talk.
Zeolite attracts heavy metals. How can you tell if the zeolite doesn't already have a load of heavy metals already glommed onto it before you ingest it? you can't. If you have mercury amalgams in your teeth it is a really bad idea to try any chelating programs. You need to get the amalgams removed safely first.Do you think zeolite would be effective in removing mercury? I take a liquid zeolite, "Pure Body Extra", not daily, but often... supposed to be a more gentle way of detoxing... not as powerful as others...
Did I say you should trust Andy Cutler? I missed that part. I am aware that he was intelligent, had lots of education, did a whole lot of research and that it didn't save him.I saw the Andy Cutler protocol online... but after reading this article... should I trust the guy (RIP)?
Using the Andy Cutler Protocol to Address Mercury Poisoning

I'm further along in this journey than you may realize. I've experienced my mercury load becoming activated from where ever it was parked in my body. Several times. The last time it happened, I got real loopy. I wrecked my car. I couldn't work the cash register. Wrecking the car entailed side swiping the carport post when parking in the same place I'd parked for 25 years. I got tested, my mercury was very high. I'd just as soon not live through times like that again. I'm 74. At this stage of the game I'm more interested in dealing with the symptoms of mercury poisoning than in going on a crusade to eradicate it from my body because I don't think that is possible. I do not want to end up with Parkinson's Disease or Alzheimer's. So I'm focused on what helps with the symptoms of mercury toxicity. And I've found things that actually help me.
If mercury is running amok in your body because something pulled it out of storage, it does show up. After I side swiped the carport post, I did an EDTA IV chelation challenge test with a 24 hour urine collection after. The mercury was high. EDTA does not chelate/attract mercury so it did not have an effect on the amount of mercury that showed up on the urine test. It was just there because it felt like coming out of storage. I don't do things to try to chelate mercury which would pull it out of storage to settle somewhere else in my body; I believe my body's already done its best to park it somewhere to minimize the threat.I also read that mercury levels can't be checked via blood, urine or stool... hair is only a little bit accurate... so how to diagnose a problem?
I think Andy Cutler was focused on trying to chelate the mercury out of the body safely. I really do not think that's possible. It can get dislodged but as of this moment, there is no chelating substance that permanently grabs onto it and gets it out of the body. Boyd Haley's product shows promise but is not yet approved by the FDA and may never be approved.BTW: Andy Cutler, big mercury poisoning guy, dead at 60... seems young for a guy who knew how to detox, yes? Sad thing, RIP.
Selenium seems to be a very big deal though.
I've found high dose thiamine hcl to be very helpful.
