It is said that the heavy metals in her body come from various Ayurveda medicines that the woman was prescribed in April at a spa hotel in Sri Lanka and brought to Germany. Analyzes of the Hamburg Central Institute for Occupational Medicine and Maritime Medicine showed that the mercury content in one of the funds was 566,110 times higher than the permitted standard. "That's a record," Meyer told the "Spiegel". The doctor assumes that the woman has swallowed a total of 213 grams of mercury. "It can kill a human. The woman can be happy that she is still alive, "says Meyer.
