Dr. Chris Shade discusses mercury poisoning including signs, testing and a detox plan at this year’s FREE Holistic Oral Health Summit

Dr. Christopher Shade attained a B.S. and M.S. from Lehigh University in environmental and aqueous chemistry. He then went on to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois where he studied advanced aquatic chemistry. While working on his Ph.D., Dr. Shade patented a technology for mercury speciation analysis. He later founded Quicksilver Scientific, LLC to make his technology widely available.

After founding Quicksilver Scientific, Dr. Shade’s intellectual interests gravitated towards human exposure to mercury toxicity, and the human detoxification system. He went on to develop specific clinical analytical techniques for mercury exposure, as well as a system of products that remove metallic and organic toxins. His current research encompasses the intersection between neuroinflammatory issues, immune dysregulation, toxicity and infection. More narrowly, his work focuses on cutting through systems of overlapping dysfunction in the human body until the system can sustain itself.

Dr. Shade will speak along side many other world renowned experts at this year’s free Holistic Oral Health Summit. His presentation, “Mercury Poisoning: Signs, Testing and a Detox Plan,” will cover the following points:

1. Best ways to test for mercury toxicity
2. In-depth understanding about creating a successful detox plan
3. Substances to help eliminate heavy metals from the body

The Holistic Health Care Summit will launch September 28 and last through October 5. Speakers will shed light on how oral health is directly related to a host of maladies that plague contemporary society, including cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

In Dr. Shade’s presentation, members of the audience will learn how mercury toxicity effects our organs. “There are different forms of mercury coming into you. You’ve got methylmercury from fish, you’ve got inorganic mercury from amalgam – you also get it from the breakdown of fish and then you’ve got ethylmercury from vaccines.”

“In mercury speciation testing, we separate the main forms of mercury, the methylmercury and the inorganic mercury in the blood so that we can see them individually. And that’s because, in the blood, the inorganic mercury load is kind of hiding behind the methylmercury load.”

“So now with the testing we use – with mercury speciation testing in the blood and we compare that with urine and also hair – we can not only see what levels you have (as a ‘body burden’) from your blood levels, but also how well you’re elimination pathways are working.”

“To safely detoxify the body of mercury, you bind the heavy metal to glutathione (in the cell), you push it out of the cell (into circulation) and then you have kidney, liver, GI filtering the blood and pushing heavy metals out into fecal and urinary extraction.”
