The  gut wall metallothionen is usually depleted in inflammation of gut
may be due  to fungal/ antibiotic exposure
in addition in the setting of leaky gut makes the matters worse

We received a comment from member Dr. Varipatis regarding the Mercury Intoxication article. Here is his comment:

Apart from several gammatical errors, I am sure there are factual errors as well. I am sure that the 1/2 life of blood Hg is only 5-7 days.

the presence of normal levels of metallothienein in the gut wall shoid ensure that only a small % of ingested Hg contaminated material is absorbed.
