The Mercury Diaries: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Mercury Diaries" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

People would look at me and instinctively know something was deeply wrong. I felt and looked like the life had been sucked out of me. Danny was just your regular London city bloke-until his health mysteriously went straight down the toilet. He did what any normal person would do: he went to see a doctor. And another doctor, and another, followed by tons of specialists. He asked them all the same question: Why? Why did his back hurt so much that he couldnt even bend down to pick up his baby daughter? Why did he have ten days of heartburn if he ate anything besides salad? Why were his mind and body crumbling? Why was he so sick his life was falling apart? Over and over again, Danny was given fistfuls of drugs and no answers. Fed up with this, he decided to take charge of his own health and his own destiny. He opened the door and crossed the threshold into the mysterious world of alternative healing. Danny swore that he would try everything until he got his health back. This book is the chronicle of Dannys adventures in the world of alternative healing. With wry humor, his search brings us through his first Alexander Technique session, his first herbal parasite cleanse, and his visits to a practitioner known only as the muscle tester dude. The pieces of the puzzle finally come together when Danny finds the online forums where the mercury toxic folks hang out. Discovering the many and varied symptoms of mercury poisoning-an exact mirror of his own health problems-it becomes blindingly obvious that he has mercury poisoning too. Danny embarks on mercury detox using the Cutler protocol, along with herbal cleanses and special diets. He climbs the long ladder out of mercury hell, and back into the land of the living. A changed man, glad to be alive, he shares his roadmap back to health so that others can find their way too.

Part I
My Story
1. To mercury hell and backagain

No way in a million years could Ihave believed that I would get poisoned by mercury and that my once-beautifullife would be flushed away in a torrent of ill-health. In this day and age itspretty far-fetched to think normal people get mercury poisoned and that itssuch a big deal. Its difficult to comprehend that modern medical doctors sorarely understand or believe, that diagnosing it is so tricky and that even ifthey do, they are more likely to do harm than to help.

Not many people get better frommercury poisoning. I am very much in the minority to have recovered. Theproblems it causes are numerous and ghastly, made all the more difficult by ourwestern medical profession that is blind to it.

Five years ago, back in 2007, allhell broke loose, I was wildly ill and my health and my life collapsed due tomercury that leaked out of my amalgam fillings.

I was just a typical Londonbusinessman. I wore a pinstripe suit to work every day for the first ten yearsof my career. The next twelve years have been a bit more relaxed and I wearsmart casual these days. I spent my days on the phone negotiating deals. I dida lot of lunches, dinners and lundinnies. I worked long hours, but no longerthan anyone else. I was just getting on with life like everyone else. Justanother city bloke. I knew nothing about medical matters.

I had a good life before all thisstarted. First and foremost a fabulous wife, we have been happily together 24years now, since we were 18. I also had cool friends, a great family and asteady well-paid job that I was good at and loved. I was into all the normalthings that normal people are into: football, cricket, rugby, good food, goodcompany, drinking, cars, PlayStations and holidaying anywhere hot. I workedhard and played hard too.

Weekdays were spent working at mydesk on the trading floor. By night I could be found unwinding down the pubwith the lads. Friday nights became eagerly awaited for the trip to a club forhours of dancing to the wildest and loudest music in town, staggering homeexhausted and bleary-eyed at sunrise.

I was a typical white-collar partyanimal, out all the time, drinking, smoking, partying, clubbing; everything toexcess and generally having the time of my life. I am a product of MaggieThatchers 1980s chemical generation of young dog-eat-dog city blokes living itup large, totally wrapped up in my own little world of work and play. Life wasgood and I made sure I enjoyed myself.

My full-on exciting lifestyle camewith a blatant disregard for my health. I was never that healthy in the firstplace; I always seemed to have a cold and was overly skinny as a kid. Slowlybut surely, my health was slipping and sliding downwards. Once the hecticlifestyle started to bite, I toned things down a little, worked out down thegym, changed my diet a little, but nothing stopped the health-crash that came.

Anyway, I did get better, I keptmy job, my life, my family, my friends, and today I lead a normal life again,but it was an uphill struggle and for a long time it looked like I was nevergoing to make it. I changed too; I went from an ignorant party-animal, to aneducated ex-party-animal.

This is my story of what happenedto me and how I managed to get back to the land of the living. Its written inchronological order; I didnt know anything in the beginning. As I struggled alongI figured stuff out, discovered what meant what. I explain things when Iunderstood them, which is not necessarily when they happened.

Everything in here happened to meand I didnt discover anything new. Everything I did, someone else discoveredbefore me, I just read about it somewhere, either in a book or online, and thentried it myself. If you want to check out and verify the things I did, to read,review and research an idea, just Google it or read some of the books Irecommend; the knowledge is not far away.

My story is written for regularpeople who are sick and want to get better. I was just a normal bloke whoselife was almost wasted by a poison. I use friendly words like stuff andgunk and funk because big long medical words mean nothing to me. This isjust the story of how I got better; if you want a reference book full of longincomprehensible words, there are many out there to satisfy those needs.

2. In the beginning

Back in the 1990s when I was in mytwenties, I was down the pub daily. I had a regular hangover and was smoking 40a day. After a while something had to give, so I decided to give up smoking. Iused the eat-as-much-junk-food-sugar-and-cakes-and-heavy-drinking-method togive up. Even after everything else thats happened, after everything that youwill read about in here, giving up smoking remains the most difficult thing Ihave ever done in my life. However this is not the story of how I gave upsmoking, so I will spare you the details, but it involved a lot of grittedteeth and mental agony.

I succeeded eventually after threetorturous years but ballooned in weight to a whopping 202 pounds (92kg) whichmostly sat on my beer belly. At the tender age of 26 my waist-line looked likeCoco the Clowns and my teeth rotted from all the beer and junk food Idscoffed while I was giving up smoking.

In early 1995, when I was 26 yearsold, I went to the dentist to be told my teeth were full of holes.

What do you want son, white ormetal?

Whats the difference?

White costs money and you needeight. Silvers are free, courtesy of Her Majestys Government.

Great, Ill have the free metalfillings please.

The dentist gave me four newfillings and four others he drilled out and renewed. I now had eight amalgamfillings.

This was not a stand-out moment inlife. This was just another day. I didnt think anything of it, and why wouldI? Why would I think this almost random decision to have metal fillings ratherthan white would have such a dramatic effect on my life? I didnt know what Iddone, and I didnt think about it for another 11 years.

A couple of months later I went onmy annual ski holiday and at the top of the mountain, on a black run, for noapparent reason, my back gave out and that was the end of that holiday and anyfuture skiing holidays.

Up until that point in life myspine had been just like any other city boys back, it ached from time to time,but was mostly fine. I spent an agonising week unable to move, lying in bed.

My back healed up just enough sothat I could walk about. But from then onwards I had a very painful and veryweak back. It got progressively worse over the years with repeated injuriesfrom the most innocent of challenges. I have put my back out brushing my teeth,getting out of the bath, getting out of bed, getting in the car and out of thecar, in the gym, rowing, walking, running, swimming, biking, hiking, lifting,shagging and even flying my kite.
