Today, however, a regular fish consumption (including sardines) is not a good idea due to
the very high levels of mercury, lead and other heavy metals present in fish.
Then based on the tests I had been asked to take in preparation for my appointment (perhaps with the help
of the information I also had provided), Dr. Hyman told me I had a leaky gut,
very high levels of lead and
mercury, a gluten intolerance, homocysteinemia, a cryptosporidium and a variety
of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
