How are our Nerve Cells Damaged by Mercury?
Mercury settles in the nerve cells. It attaches to the tubulin, inside the nerves, in the area where order transmission (neurotransmission) takes place. There it reduces the nerve's ability to transmit.
As a consequence, the nerve can no longer satisfactorily take up nutrients, neurotransmitters, and transmit its orders/messages, and it eventually dies.
Mercury also is destroying the myelin sheeth surrounding the nerves.
It is known that mercury hinders the uptake of amino acids and excretion of metabolic waste and toxins - in and out of the brain - and that leads to reduced uptake of energy as well as causing leaking in the capillary walls.
People who are mercury toxic also absorb other environmental toxins more readily, because the mercury causes the cell not to be ``tight'' letting other heavy metals, pesticides and formaldehyde enter the cells readily. Toxin accumulation is 30 to 100 times higher than in people without amalgams and the toxic effects are potentiated up to 2000 times.
(I translated this from a German publication by Dr. K. - if it sounds a little stiff, I tried to stick closely to the German text) Pretty grim picture.

Yes, thanks. IME Germans are usually "at the head of the curve" in so many things in the world.
