Has anyone taken these homeopathic drops to remove mercury? I have 3-4 amalgam fillings. My Integrative doc ART tested me and said mercury toxicity. She said the drops will take care of the problem most times. No binders recommended. Does this really make sense? Could I risk getting horribly ill?

Homeopathic mercury to solve the toxicity problem has been debated for years, especiall in Europe. It may instead move the mercury into deeper tissues and is therefore not used. So Dr.K. when I asked him that ten years ago.
SCROLL DOWN TO "TREATMENT".
Take care.

THanks. I'm going to read that in detail. I just don't see any docs being even 10% of Dr. K. It's starting to seem like seeing him is the only path to wellness. I see a doc with 30+ years of experience and they direct contradict Dr. K's advice. Scary. Is there any doctor on the planet who is even in the ballpark of this genious that one can actually get into?
I was seeing a world-class LLMD who didn't incorporate any of Dr. K's treatment protocol advice. What level do you need to go to for this type of expertise?

Homeopathic Mercury - in its various forms - is very often indicated in people with heavy metal issues. Likewise, homeopathic Mercury is probably in the top 25 remedies successfully used to treat Lyme. But the key word there is `indicated'. That's where practitioners can take a very wrong turn.
Any practitioner who routinely recommends homeopathic mercury for `mercury toxicity' is an absolute fool. The same goes for practitioners who dole out mixtures of various homeopathic remedies and potencies based on the presence of a certain `condition' - like heavy metal or Mercury toxicity - and assume that they can just throw everything at the problem in hopes that one of the remedies will work appropriately. It's insanity.
If the homeopathic remedy being used as treatment isn't `matched' to the person - rather, the practitioner tries to match it to the `ailment' - trouble is likely to result.
Seekhelp, if your practitioner hasn't matched this remedy to you by some means other than the fact that `you have mercury toxicity' - such as comparing your symptoms to those listed under the remedy - then be very wary.
Perhaps EDS or EAV or ART or kinesiology or biotensor work would answer the question of whether the remedy is correct in your situation. I'll leave that to others to answer as I have limited experience with that method.
But the idea that homeopathic Mercury should not be used at all for assisting in Mercury or other metal detoxification is simply not the case. It must be used with care and knowledge by the practitioner.
And here's a big clue when taking homeopathic remedies: While it is not uncommon to experience am initial, brief worsening of symptoms that you already have, if you continue to feel worse and worse while taking the remedy, then STOP TAKING IT! This idea that prolonged worsening is just a herx or a healing crisis is NOT consistent with traditional homeopathic practice.
If we pulled every medicine and drug off the market that was used inappropriately by doctors or patients, there wouldn't be much left on the shelves. Don't condemn the medicine for the failure of people to use it correctly.

Tracy,
My practicioner diagnoses my mercury issues by holding a bottle of mercury against my chest and doing some type of ART testing with my fingers. She rubbed my belly button beforehand to open energy channels.
She said the homeopathic drops were what I needed when she held the mercury vial and homeopathic remedy on my chest and tested my finger strength. Oddly, she already seemed to know this product would be what I needed and said this verbally. She does 'confirmatory' muscle testing to check her initial diagnosis. She was never wrong one time on a confirmatory basis when testing probably 200-300 things. Believe this? I don't!
Oddly, my candida levels are very high on my blood tests (IgM,IgG,IgA). THe doc through ART testing said yeast is not an issue. I was told parasites are not an issue, but Babesia is.
I went in the exam telling the doc I tested Igenex positive for Lyme and also positive for Babesia and EBV through commercial labs. Viola..guess what the ART testing revealed...Lyme, Babesia, EBV. I must admit it's hard to not feel like you 'may' be being played. Is this a believable experience?
I strongly, strongly, strongly believe patients should walk into ART practicioners and give them NOTHING regarding a Dx and make them prove themselves. It's silly if they have answers before the exam. It's a crypt sheet, right?
Ya'll must have way more faith in the human race than me.
I was taking Deseret Biologicals EBV homeopathic drops and felt pretty bad on them. THey were muscle tested. I started to get pain in my speen. I had to stop all Tx as my liver enzymes elevated and have not returned to the drops yet. I only use the drainage formula by this company now along with my Babesia Tx (Mepron/Azith).
Sadly, I can't see my doc much anymore as paying $600-$800 per visit including supplements is ridiculously expensive. It was like the doc thought this bill was no big deal. I was in shock.

I hear ya, Seek. Being skeptical is a good thing; having a closed mind isn't. I've not had great success with general muscle testing, though there are definite exceptions to that. Based on what others here have said, I do think ART practitioners have a pretty good track record.
Maybe you are right - maybe ART practitioners shouldn't know anything beforehand. At least until the patient is convinced to trust the system.
I finally went with computerized electro-dermal screening (CEDSA); I'm trying to eliminate the `human factor' as much as possible with these types of testing. The jury is still out, though I'd have to say it seemed much more accurate than muscle testing (for me). I had no bad reactions to any of the herbals or other products, which is almost a miracle in itself. My next test appointment is towards the end of this month.
The Candida issue may not be as strange as it seems. The proliferation of these organisms depends on SOMETHING. It makes more sense to me to deal with the SOMETHING, rather than trying to eradicate the organisms. So, if ART says that Candida isn't a problem, even though you have a lab test showing Candida is thriving, then isn't it possible that ART testing is picking up on the underlying issues that caused the Candida to thrive in the first place? In other words, take care of the SOMETHING, and Candida can't thrive.
As for the `confirmatory' testing thing, I do know that people who do this type of testing often learn to pick up subtle signals from patients. But they `test' anyway to confirm it. I guess the proof is in whether the selected product/supplements/protocol improves your health or not.
The DesBio nosodes are not something I have ever done, and probably won't. They are too much of a one-size-fits-all method, not to mention that they are usually taken in ascending potencies, which is not normally done by practitioners I'm familiar with.
Thus, I don't know what to think about the DesBio remedies, and I certainly don't know what to think when they test well for you, and then they cause you so many problems!! What does that mean? What does your practitioner say about that?
It's great that you've learned that there's much more to homeopathics than just water or sugar pellets, but it would be nice if you could experience the `improvement' part of homeopathics, as well. After all, that's the whole point of them.
Yep, cost is a big factor here. I'll give the CEDSA + recommended supps another 6 months or so, and evaluate. If it's not obvious that I'm heading in the right direction, I may have to modify my approach. I might utilize the testing part to see where the deepest problems lie or what needs attention first, but work with an online homeopath instead. That should be way cheaper.
