Interesting facts about mercury and why some are not fully convinced of the only liquid metal’s “terribly harmful” properties

Interesting facts about mercury and why some are not fully convinced of the only liquid metal's "terribly harmful" properties 1

Have you ever broken a mercury thermometer? Are you also familiar with these horror stories about how incredibly dangerous it is? Why have so many myths been created around this metal? 

Mercury is a super-mobile substance, scientists classify it as a metal, but it cannot be not only forged or soldered, it is difficult to even hold it in your hands. It behaves more like a colloid. The only thing it has in common with metal is its luster.

Today we are assured that it is very harmful and dangerous, but for some reason the doctors of the past used it as a medicine and cosmetic product. Alchemists even considered mercury to be the seed of the universe. Some scientists still consider mercury to be an effective and safe cure for cancer.

For many years, mercury was used in thermometers, but in 2020 it was banned. 

And here is another strange moment: at mercury production enterprises, people work without any protective equipment at all. They do not wear gloves or masks, despite the all so-called “terribly harmful” mercury vapor.

Today we cannot say who exactly discovered mercury for humanity, it is known that it has been used by people since time immemorial. Sometimes it is mined in the form of native drops.

But more often it is isolated from cinnabar, which has been used as a paint since ancient times, including in ancient China and ancient Egypt. It was thanks to cinnabar that the paintings of the Renaissance were distinguished by such brightness.

Mercury is still used in some oils and watercolors, and even now mercury-cadmium paints have become widely used – probably also poisonous?

In medical reference books it is written that mercury is harmful, but only in large quantities and under certain conditions. But if you force a person to eat 200 grams of ordinary table salt, he will also die, moreover, painfully.

But for some reason, it never occurs to anyone to ban salt, but mercury has been banned.

Maybe it’s because of some special properties of mercury that we are not told about? For example:

Have you ever heard of the “mercury engine” expression? These devices are unusual and even a little delusional but the internet has a lot of varieties of mercury engines.

In the 90s, a mercury gyroscope was successfully tested. While this device did not require external energy supply, the invention preferred to be hidden and the circuit diagram was lost.

Back in the 80s, there were rumors among radio amateurs about the amazing capabilities of mercury antennas. The solution could revolutionize antennas in everything from implanted medical devices to the later cell phones.

A number of scientists believe that the possibility of wireless lighting, as well as the generation of energy for unthinkable speeds, stem from the special interaction of mercury with the ether. The topic of the ether itself in the era of rapid industrial development was very quickly banned. One mention of the properties of the ether and ways of interacting with it turned out to be enough for any researcher to fall under close attention and opposition from financial tycoons.

Opening access to people to an inexhaustible source of free energy was clearly not part of their plans. Suffice it to recall the statements about the ether by Nikola Tesla, Mendeleev and Lomonosov.

There is information that back in the 19th century and thanks to the use of mercury, the streets of many cities were literally flooded with electricity, apparently free of charge.

It was used for transport, for home heating and the strange vessels on many ancient buildings are directly related to these technologies, which were either lost or deeply classified. 

A study of documents collected by the Nazis at their famous Ahnenerbe Institute shows that mercury can serve as a unique source of energy, on which aircraft, like ancient Wimans, can reach the speed of light.

Among the Anenerbe materials there was also a manuscript, which described in detail the device of such an apparatus. Inside it should be a container with mercury and a heating device under it.

Mercury and medicine

There is a lot of information circulating on the Internet that mercury can cure the most serious diseases. 

In ancient times, people paid much attention to the study of poisons and antidotes, they knew that some mercury compounds are very toxic. The key word here is “connections”. Pure mercury does not have these properties. And what can we say about antiquity, if mercury was used both in ointments and in medicines for ingestion right up to the 60s of the last century in the USA – until the 70s! 

And in dentistry, mercury was sometimes used in the 21st century, and in some countries they continue to put seals based on mercury amalgam even today. Such fillings are very durable, in some patients who are now 80-90 years old, they have been standing for at least 3-4 decades, and the patients themselves are still alive and well.

Also, many mercury ointments have been successfully used to treat the eyes until recently.

Everyone who is related to medicine knows that organic mercury-based antiseptics are suitable even for treating mucous membranes.

Mercury is still used in homeopathy, Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, and many miraculous drugs are made from it.

In the human body there is not a single organ or system that does not contain mercury. It is in the blood and in the brain. Most of it is found in the kidneys. It is known that excess mercury is quite easily excreted from the body.

So, why is mercury hidden from us? The question is rhetorical. Is it for the same reason they pour poison from the sky on us with chemtrails, fluoridate drinking water and much more?
