The speed and pattern of aging differ for each person: in one, blood vessels are the first to be affected, in another — the joints, and in a third — the cognitive sphere. Therefore, an effective program must be based on objective data, not only on the clinical picture.
Aging is a natural biological process that affects every level of the body’s functioning. Over time, the ability of cells to repair themselves declines, damage accumulates, and adaptive mechanisms weaken. But the pace and manifestations of aging vary greatly from person to person: some remain active and mentally sharp well into old age, while others experience significant decline as early as middle age.
Mercury Is Not a Single Substance, but a Group of Chemically Distinct Compounds. Each form of mercury affects the human body differently. Its form determines how it enters the body, how quickly it is eliminated, how easily it accumulates, and which systems it damages—ranging from the respiratory tract to the kidneys and brain.
Mercury is a unique substance: it is the only metal that exists in a liquid state at room temperature. Thanks to its unusual properties, it has fascinated people since ancient times. It was used in medicine as a remedy, in alchemy as an “element of transformation,” and later in industry—for making mirrors, thermometers, lamps, and other products.

After all, we all know that Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a relatively safe procedure that does not involve radiation. And yet, everything seems fine when it comes to examining things on an MRI.
The story of recognizing chronic mold mycotoxin intoxication is reminiscent of the story of recognizing chronic Lyme disease.
Before 2005, that is, before Hurricane Katrina, only a few specialists discussed this issue, and tests could only be conducted in non-standard testing laboratories. Patients went from one doctor to another, complaining of strange symptoms. They underwent standard laboratory tests, found nothing, and as usual, heard the phrase: “It’s all in your head.” After seeing an average of over 30 specialists, patients managed to find a specialist who suspected the presence of a non-standard problem and conducted mold testing.
