Basically heres my story. Been sik for almost 3 yrs. Diagnosed with lyme clinically in July 05. Only band 41 show up on quets western blot and postive for Mycoplasma everytime. Ive been through several different antibiotics treatments with only minimal help. After reading some literature on amalgams and mercury im starting to think more and more this could be whats holding me back from getting well. I wanted to get some opinions from you guys if youhave any.
Lets see, i have 8 sliver filling and one root canal. My symtoms are as follows. -Brain fog(depersonalization/derealization) -Vision problems-after images, floaters, hazy vision, trouble focusing -fatigue -tremors, muscle twitching -heafdaches, head pressue -neck and spine aches and stiffness.
I obviosly have other but thess are some of my most bothersome. Listening to my history, struggles to get well, and symptoms do you think my amalgams/mercury to be the culprit to some if not all of my symptoms. I have already set up a phone consult with a very good holistic dentist but i want to get some other peoples opinion. Thanks for any insight.
Have you had a heavy metals test done? I am having the same problems, and I have been under the care of a naturopath for the last three months. We are doing alot of detox since my body is having problems eliminating toxins. My test came back elevated in mercury and lead.
I am going to get my amalgams removed once I get my immune system in good shape. I went to three different doctors (one holistic). They legally cannot guarantee that it will help. I believe the percentage I got was twenty percent chance that it will improve my health. However, I feel in the long run it is the best choice for me.

Thanks for your response. No i havennot had any heavy metal testiing done. I guess once i go in and meet with the holistic dentist he will do that. I do remeber reading a post by Gigi saying that getting the fillings removed helped her/him. I feel like this is the way to go. I was reading some of the hope to heal conference nots and basically it convinced me that i need to look into this issue. Thanks again.
I had one of these dentist remove my amalgams and I did his supplement protocol. That along with the anti-candida diet put my undiagnosed Lyme mostly into remission from 1991-2003!!
I'm doing chelation now for lead and it's helping me as much or more than the Lyme treatment.
I highly recommend eliminating the metals ... I'm not a doctor, but it sure helped me.

If it is S.E., he knows what he is doing. Met him in the midnineties.
Be sure to prepare yourself several days before, during, and after with chlorella. While you are still in the dentist chair: Rinsing mouth with it before composite is put in (open chlorella capsule in a tiny bit of water - sip the water and swish the chlorella around in your mouth. Do it for about 15 seconds --- then spit it our -- DO NOT SWALLOW THIS! The chlorella binds up any residual mercury that may have gotten into your mouth, and the water mixture carries it out when you spit. You do not want more in your brain and body than you already have!
After you have eliminated the SOURCE, the major source, be sure you go on a good detox program - hopefully under the guidance of a doctor who understands this bad stuff.
I posted about the book "let the tooth be known" here recently. Maybe take a look at it - I am certain you will learn a bunch from it.
Good luck, and yes, life started anew for me a few months after I had my root canals removed and all metals and infection out. But it took a long time to get the mercuries, nickle, golds, out of all the cells, tissue etc. Don't expect an overnight miracle. Read ask and learn.
Stay away from ignorant dentists! A few of those almost dug my grave for me.
Take care.
P.S. If the dentist is not wearing protective gear himself (gas mask type or whatever they now use to make sure they don't swallow/breath the mercury) I would not use him/her. I have met hundreds of sick dentists! Read the book, ask a lot of questions --- it is your body and your life -- I learned to get over the "white coat" syndrome we were taught a long time ago. It brought me nothing but misery.

I think it is very possible that this metal load could be contributing to your symptoms in a significant way. It certainly isn't helping you. The challenge is working on getting them removed without making things worse. Be very careful and review GiGi's guidance here on what to do around the removal, etc. to reduce your risk.

Gigi, It is Dr. R in Pennsylvania that im going to see. Thank you for all the info. I will be sure to be careful and am going to have to start taking chlorella ect. I am curious whether or not things like chlorella would help without getting the amalgams removed? I guess either way i need them removed. I am actually seeing a very good dr and going the haverford wellness ceneter which is all about detoxing. Thanks again.

J, I do not know Dr. R. With eight fillings and your type of symptoms, it is almost a given that some of the mercury has moved upward. No, you can only remov w/chlorella some of the mercury that has escaped from your fillings into the extracellular areas, connective tissue, etc. And not removing the fillings, you will only move more mercury into the rest of your body - as long as the fillings are there. That's the nature of mercury. You should be taking chlorella every day to clear some of it out, so that when you go to remove it from the intracellular areas, the road is free and things do not get hung up too much.
If that is the PK clinic, they were never famous for their metal detoxing. Their claim to fame is the Lipostabi/formerly Essentiale etc. infusion which is very expensive and does not do a lot for detoxing metals from the brain. So really check it out - talk to some people that have gone there and check results. Maybe they have learned more and have better ways of doing it. Just remember that first you have to remove the metals from the lower body parts and only when the pathways are clear is detoxing the brain easier. Start from the bottom up.
Be sure you have a healthy mineral balance. Without it, detoxing is impossible.
Take care.

You are really helpful. I have a phone consult with Dr. R next week and then i guess im going to begin the removal of these fillings. By the way, How much chlorella shoudl i be taking, and what kind? Will it make me herx real bad? And what do you mean by removing metals from the lower body parts and working my way up? Sorry, i just want to make sure that im doing this correctly.

Hmmm......what if you've had all of your teeth pulled? Hubby had all his teeth pulled 12 years ago.
For some reason, the right side of his jaw always looks a little swollen to me. It's weird.

If you are wondering why so many bugs in us!
Microorganisms that bind toxic metals:
1. Chlorella 2. Candida species 3. Streptococci 4. Staph bacteria 5. Etc.
When people have heavy metal toxicity, the immune system allows, cultivates, grooms foreign bugs in us, allows them to grow, with the intent that the microorganisms now bind the metals which otherwise would destroy the human cells, the human cells being highly evolved and highly vulnerable.
I am sure you can find a few to fill in a few species for the et cetera.
(From Dr. K. based on 30 years of practice and peer-review lit.)
Take care.
P.S. I will come back later to answer your questions - after I harvest my raspberries before they get rained out.
