It has been many years ago but I remembered this because of the posts on toxins and chemicals.
About 10-15 years ago I broke one of those old oral thermometers in my mouth. I had it in my mouth and was in the bathroom and turned a corner and it hit the corner of the wall breaking.
I don't recall swallowing some of the mercury but I'm not sure I did.
I guess I would have noticed it tho wouldn't I? Could this be causing all of my problems?
No, probably not, as I am one of the few that did have a major EM rash but I was ill long before that.
Can you test for mercury poisoning?

When I was a little kid, we moved into a house that had a whole jar of mercury in the closet. No idea what it was for or why it was there.
My brothers and I used to pour it into our hands and roll it around. We would rub it onto coins and make them shiny. Probably not very smart?

hmmm... we were given mercury to hold in science class in school.
After we handled it and spilled it and played with it for awhile the teacher said, "oh, yeah, it can cause psychosis."
I have to wonder why this teacher wasn't fired.

none of these things make a difference unless your toxic screen is high in heavy metals.
you don't detox or chelate for the fun of it. if your tests are positive then detox, remove amalgams if mg levels high, find all sources.
IF LEVELS ARE NORMAL CHELATION WILL NOT DO ANY GOOD AND WASTING MONEY, BECAUSE YOUR LEVELS ARE NORMAL AND DON'T NEED TO REMOVE ANY.
there are backround levels of some heavy metals if which your body must have to live. iron for example, is the main factor in hemoglobin and binds the oxygen for your body. your body can not do without normal levels of iron.
also many taking suppliments,oil based and heavy metals in vitamins may be too much for your system. if you look at a bottle of vitamins, they are filled with heavy metals, which you would normally get in your food,. so many vitamins ,oil based especially don't leave the body for long periods of time,ie vit e. too many vitamins can be toxic, because it is not true that you pee the excess away.
you can od on too many vitaMINS DOCDAVE

Yep, same thing happened to me precisely. My dad warned us of the danger, so we were careful- but the danger made it even more exciting- the stuff was so interesting. We were careful, but murphy's law is very strict-- inevitably a substantial amount of mercury got lost between the floorboards. Probably killed lots of brain cells. But must've been only the weak ones it killed! You must look optimistically. No matter where we are, infinite possibilities surround us. No matter what's gone down up til now. Those with this conviction will win no matter what their circumstances. But mercury is definitely something to be VERY CAREFUL with! As for "chelating it out", it's worth a try, but I don't know about chelating-- what is the procedure? Sorry I had to sleep and forgot to post thisa reply..

randi-you are correct. THere have been tons of posts on toxins and heavy metals. Many of which Gigi posted but she just gave up from the bickering and those that always jumped all over her.
She is well and was just trying to give back but it was not fun anymore when she was often kicked in the teeth. I found all of her material extremely valuable. Marnie also has some good insight into some of this.
Go back and try to research some of Gigi's posts. There was a very good one she posted a few times on how to eliminate toxins. I wish I knew the title. Sorry, you will have to look it up.
I know she believed in chlorella and a lot of water with lemon. I think Cilantro is another thing she mentioned.
One of the problems is that if Mercury is bound somewhere and you dislodge it, you must be very careful it does not go somewhere worse, ie the brain.
Her Dr has some great lectures, cd's on some of this. I constantly listen to one that she sent me. It has to do with yeast infections and mercury.
He has researched the fact that many with heavy metals have a yeast issue. The yeast tends to somehow encapsalate the metal.
I remember on one part of the tape the Dr says, yeast is a slow death, unlike mercury. Yeast is better. If you treat the yeast be prepared to have major issues from the metals.
He also recommends not playing around with this yourself. But to find some specialist that is very knowledgeable.
Another section of the CD said that the tests for mercury often show up negative when you may be full of metal. Something about it may hide out in viscous areas between other body parts but not where is is easily tested. Sorry, my memory isn't the best on this.
And for all of those that have played with mercury...I think probably all children have had a science teacher that wanted to show something really cool to the kids and may have been too ignorant to really know the dangers.
My lymie found a bottle of mercury in storage and played with it. Who knows how much damage is has and is doing, considering all of her issues, traumas, diseases, etc...., but you should see her horrible brain spect scans.
ps, I am not a dr so do not take this as professional medical advise.lmt

My LLMD is big on checking for Mercury. I also remember playing with it as a kid. I think it came in my brother's chemistry set or something. It sure was fun to play with! I did have high Mercury levels (had blood test, and hair test). I got my amalgams removed then did the "Urine Challenge" (IV with DMPS then collected urine for 24 hours) Urine showed (of course) high Mercury. Then I did a bunch of IV's every other week (every other IV had DMPS) did another "Urine Challenge" and my Mercury Levels are now fine. I also take Chlorella (Elyte) As I know it, if you have Lyme and/or yeast issues they will be difficult to resolve if you also have Mercury issues so it's best to be tested and then get rid of the Mercury. My twin has just been diagnosed with Lyme and she also has high Mercury (surprise!) and yeast issues (which fortunatley I don't have. My yeast has been normal since I chelated my Mercury). She got her amalgams out this a.m.

I see a big correlation between lyme and mercury. Specifically it seems to me that people who have it bad or have a hard time getting over it seem to be those with high mercury levels. This is anecdotal only, and I could be wrong.
Yeast seems to thrive in a mercury environment. I was a walking bake shop no matter what I did until I got my amalgams out. After that I only had yeast problems about three times a year.
I understand that Reduced L-Glutathione is a good mercury mobilizer. You may want to do a search on that. I wouldn't ever use it if I still had silver fillings.
Another thing to do a search on is sauna and mercury. I understand that sweating is the best and safest way to remove mercury, especially when combined with glutathione or chlorella.
Be advised that chlorella is such a good mercury absorber that you want to be careful what brands you buy. It can come chock full of its own mercury in the bottle, from being grown in an unwholesome environment. Sorry, but I don't currently know which brands are considered safe.
You can also look up cilantro. It is supposed to bind to mercury and remove it from the body, and it is also supposed to cross the blood brain barrier.
Did ya know that many immunizations have mercury in them as a "preservative"? How sick is that?
Weird, but we moved in to a rental house once that had a big bottle of mercury in the basement. What did people used to use it for?
