I cant stop crying I am sooooo upset.

Last winter I started researching about eating healthy and ridding my home of toxins. I have done so much from what I have learned as far as feeding my family organic food, not vaccinating my children anymore, not bathing or doing our laundry in chemicals, etc.
After I had my second child I ended up with 9 cavities. I did not go to a dentist for quite a few years prior to that , so
needless to say my mouth was a mess. I had to have root plaining done and 9 cavities filled - with mercury.
This was 5 years ago and haven't been to the dentist since, until now.
I have 8 more cavities and one of my fillings is cracked which now after researching all weekend explains everything - the light bulb has just come on now.
I have EVERY symptom of mercury poisoning and I am getting worse by the day. I have a constant headache which I never ever get headaches, I am so
constipated, my hair is falling out by the handfuls, I cant think straight or process anything, I am getting dizzy now and so tired all the time, when I eat my stomach just hurts and burns, etc.

What do I do about this cracked filling that is leaching all this additional mercury out?

What can I take to help combat this poisoning in my body?


I know I have to get this crap out of my mouth but I am going to have to call some holistic dentists and find out what my options are as far as financing all of this.

This is what I cant stop crying about - I have a 16 month old baby whom I nursed up until 4 days ago - I had stopped because I was feeling so awful that I wanted to do a major detox thinking that would solve my health issues and you cant do that while nursing. Then this light bulb just came on yesterday and now I realize that these symptoms are a result of the mercury.
Here I have nursed this baby for 16 months, not given him any vaccines, and he has only eaten organic food, now only to find out I have done him a complete disservice by nursing him and passing mercury onto him through my placenta when I was pregnant with him and now all these months of nursing.

What can I do to detox him??????

I am so upset and sick about this.
I am so infuriated with my dentist - there should be a law banning this from being put in our mouths or there should be a disclaimer warning us of the dangers of this. I would like to sue him and make him pay for the removal of this. And if he thinks I am going to make an appointment with him to put another 8 fillings of mercury in my mouth - well needless to say he has another thing coming.

Please advise me as to what to do about my baby and if there is anything I can take now in the meantime to lessen my symptoms because I really feel like I am on my death bed and I just don't know what to do.

Thank you so much, Teri

The first thing, as far as you're concerned, is to find out about dentists who will treat you. I would go for precautions during the precedure. I didn't but then I'm in my mid-twenties and I only had three.

It won't be a quick fix, it will take time to get better, and you'll have to get a bit worse first. But you will get better.

Things to do in the short term would be to stop eating fish. You could also try a liver flush (look it up on curezone) as that helped me feel a bit better. Align is suppose to be great as well, not that I've tried it though. I also found drinking only mineral/spring water helps. There is a small, but large enough for me, amount of mercury in tap water. My tap water anyway. Brita filtered water also affects me as their filter uses a small amount of mercury. Taking tablets of activated charcoal is suppose to help. I've been taking it this past weekend and I've felt ok. There are also a host of other vitamins to take, C, E, Magnesium and Zinc seems to be the ones recommened the most.

Fixing your bowls is a hugly important. Mercury is removed via bowl movements, there are other ways but none are so important. I went to my doctor and told him about my constipation and he gave me some fiber suppliments which have helped. I do feel better after a proper bowl movement.

I wouldn't like to advise you about your baby as I'm no expert. Fortunatley there are experts on these boards.

Good luck, and don't hestitate in getting back in contact with us.

Also, I know it may be hard, but i'd try to stay positive. I'd noticed stress and anxiety affects my health a lot.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through, Teri.

Your son may not have any problems because of the mercury. There are millions of women in the world who have mercury filled teeth and their children don't seem to have any serious problems. You're giving him organic food and have eliminated other sources of mercury, so that's a good start <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Vaccines like MMR can have devastating consequences.

I'm sure there are things you can do to help him detox, at least when he gets older, but I'm also just learning about all this so can't really give advice on that. But there may be some foods that you can give him that will help him excrete mercury. I'm sure Russ or Laura will know more <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm, I don't know how that came through as from Teri. It's supposed to be from me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Weird!

Demi is correct, I believe, that your baby may be strong enough to excrete any mercury (from your milk) safely. If it were me, though, I would start giving him a wee bit of high-quality probiotics every day. You may have to do a bit of research on this. Heaven knows, there is no shortage of it on the www, but you need to get many different points of view. After all is said & done, however, our health ultimately comes down to our GUT, i.e., the beneficial bacteria that reside there, or which are trying to reside there.

Best of luck and don't panic about your or your child's health. Just keep getting good advice from Russ and the others and realize that you can and will be cured. It may be slow - it has to be, with mercury - but you'll do it.

Teri, dont panic,

you got all good advice here- I liked Steve's Advice especially.

Start taking Magnesium , Selenium and Zinc now.

Get some Algin and take it at least twice a day. (Herb Allure sells it- and if you buy at least $40.00 worth of stuff, the price goes down, and it's like you ended up buying it at Walmart!)

Start making plans in between your schedule for one dental office viisit a month to get each filling replaced with composite. I was given a porcelain composite mix -and had no bad reactions.
Diamonlite is said to be the least toxic of all non-metal composites- but I dont know if they gave me that.

You should start with getting the cracked filling replaced with composite first.

DRINK ICE WATER AND CRUNCH ON ICE when you notice the symptoms. It will curtail much mercury vapor being emitted from the cracked filling.


Crunchy foods, teeth cleanings from dentast, vigorous brushing the teeth , chewing gum , hot drinks and citrus acid (watch the chewable Vitamin C tablets) will make the metal fillings emit more vapor at a faster pace.-- curtail these for now. Use a super soft bristle brush for brushing the teeth.

Algin taken every day will sponge up alot of the mercury giving you these symptoms. After you get all your fillings replaced, you can continue to take it while you Chelate.

Hang in there !! will say a prayr for you. Many folks have gone through with what you went through. Russ and Laura did too, and they were probably health conscious long before they had thier fillings out.

I see a big restoration happening for you!

Hi Teri,

I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through but please know that there are solutions and you can certainly make it through this.

Here are some suggesions that you can implement to help protect your baby and yourself until you can have the fillings removed (I believe these suggestions apply equally to your baby):

• Take Aglin daily. This will help prevent redistribution of mercury from the colon back into the bloodstream and should help keep your blood-mercury levels lower (very important). Most people notice an immediate improvement in symptoms when taking Algin.
• Take a good quality Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids. This will help protection you against free radical damage induced by the mercury and help a number of other body systems that can suffer when mercury is present. I would take about 5000 mg daily.
• Take a good quality Vitamin E with Selenium. This will belp protect your body and especially your brain from additional mercury-induced free radical damage. Selenium should be taken with Vitamin E (that is why they are together in this supplement) because mercury depletes selenium which is very important for several vital body funtions.
• You can take Saw Palmetto to help with the hair issue. Mercury (and caffiene) raise DHT (dihydrotestosterone) levels which causes hair loss, among other things. Saw Palmetto will help regulate DHT.
• For the headache, try Magnesium. Mercury interferes with magnesium horribly which can cause headaches, constipation and a myriad of other symptoms, especially related to muscles and aches. You can also eat an apple each day to help with constipation, so long as it does not cause sugar-related issues.
• To help boost your energy, you could take a thryoid supplements, like Thyroid Support. This is what I use (actually, I use all of the supplements I am suggesting to you). Mercury prohibits the conversion of thyroid hormone T4 to T3 which is probably why your energy is so low. I have the same issue. This supplement will help increase your T3 levels.

There are also some other common sense things you can do to help maintain your health until the mercury is removed:

• Drink lots of unfluoridated water.
• Make organic veggies your primary food. Eating organic rather than non-organic can make a lot of difference. Try to have a couple organic carrots for the vitamin A (carotenoids) which is also important with mercury toxicity.
• Eat no seafood (especially tuna), no caffeine, no processed sugar, no NutraSweet.
• Try to sweat. Use a sauna daily if you have access to one.

With your symptoms, you're undoubtedly experiencing what they call "Stage 3 Mercury Toxicity". This is where your organs can no longer absorb it (they already have been absorbing it for years) and your chronic blood-mercury levels remain higher. This is serious, as you already know.

There are some other ideas that may help with your specific symptoms, but they can be a little risky because they have both positive and negative effects with mercury.

If we can help more, feel free to post any more specific information and the great people on this board will be happy to offer help, suggestions and support.

Also, in case you're not familiar with my personal mercury story, it may help you to know you're not alone in this and it will offer practical suggestions about what you can do to find and dentist and recover. This situation is actually very common, most people have just not realized it yet as mercury is related to diabetes, Alzheimer's, fibromyalgia, CFS, MCS, Allergies, IGS, arthritis and countless other diseases.

Many people are desperate to find out what is wrong with them or why they have an "incurable" disease and we have the answer right here... Mercury from amalgams, vaccines, tattoos, and numerous other sources.

My Mercury Story

Take care and let us know what you decide to to.

Thank you so much everybody for your help and advice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have spent most of the day reading this wonderful web site and your story Russ.

I have a host of other symptoms too, like frequent urination which has just started within the past few weeks which now that I look back and see the big picture here, this is when my filling cracked. Everything is making so much sense now and I am so thankful I found this site.


I am going to order the things you suggested Russ and hopefully it will ease up some of these symptoms until I can get in and get this taken care of because honestly I don't know how much more of this I can take. I am 39 and feel like I am 90 and on my death bed. I have to get my finances in order, as what I am reading this is going to be a very costly endeavor and I am a single mom of 3 going through a divorce right now and money is tight so I am sure the stress of that isn't helping matters at all with my health.

How long should I keep my baby on these supplements for?

Would it help to do a colon cleanse to get things moving again? I have suffered from constipation for years now and it has only gotten worse. As a matter of fact everything is only getting worse as time goes by and this goes untreated.

I lost my Mom last November to Multiple Sclerosis. She suffered 32 miserable years to this awful disease and now I know why......

Thank you again and God bless,

Teri

I did some enemas (colon clense). They didn't really help me except the time where I had the flushed-out gall stones stuck in my gut. I used to take some colon clensing tablets which caused diarrhea for the first 3 times but strangly didn't after that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> .

Doesn't mean they won't help you though - maybe it was me doing them wrong - who knows.

p.s curezone.com has a lot of information on colon clenses and liver flushes. It also talks about amalgam poisoning. Look under 'cleansing'

Teri, you might want to look for supplements suitable for children. I've seen some in my health shop. Adults obviously need bigger doses.

My mother is very ill and I suspect mercury poisoning. She has all the symptoms and a lot of fillings. Unfortunately it's impossible to get her to take the issue seriously, but I think it's just too frightening for some people that they pretend it isn't happening.

Hi Teri,


Yes, a colon cleanse would be a good idea.


It's tough to know exactly how long. If it were me, I'd start with 2 months and then back off the supplements little by little.

Also, if you would like to order the supplements from us (you don't have to, of course, but we give forum members their first order at our cost), just call Laura (my wonderful business partner) at 1-800-358-4278 and she can get whatever you need sent directly to you, quickly.

If you need information about how to find a dentist, etc, feel free to post here, email or call and we'll help you with that process. It's important to get the right dentist as that can make all the difference in the world.

Thanks and please keep us posted.

hello teri,
i was breast feeding my 5 month old fourth baby when i found out i was poisoned.i was devastated, like you,after all different opinions,as to wether baby got mercury from my milk i stopped.it was awful, as she would not take a bottle, we had to force her, but we got thru it.
i have been given a number of a pediatrician who deals soley with this issue for children, if you write email me, i will give it to you.
(not sure if i can post it ???)
i want you to know i have lost about half of my hair, i am distressed too, am hoping and praying it will grow back, and listened to a womans testamony,who lost her hair, after removal she said it started to grow back, we have to have faith.
i know how desparate you feel, keep in touch with people who give you good advise, i will tell you, that there is a lot of conflicting advise out there, so you will be spending a lot of time reading and weighing up info for yourself.
and the cost will be unavoidable as far as i can see, we are in debt over this even before i get my teeth done.
G-d be with you, and your family, i truly have been where you are,
miriam mmfauth@yahoo.com

i am truly sorry too, that you have to deal with this.lets all stick together.
miriam

hello teri, i just had to sign on again, and let you know i am thinking about you.i know all about the crying............
thankG-d you now know what the problem is, my doc told me i was a stressed out housewife,and she still thinks i am trying to make my symptoms up/
i home school,but these last few months, dealing with this poisoning has taken all my energy, mentally and physically.
thank G-d you found this site too, i did not find it till recently, and it has been a great support.
i am so angry too, seems like this is all a dream, a life robbing dream.
my thoughts are with you.
miriam

Teri, you asked about supplements for your child. I would suggest "whole food supplements". If it was me, I wouldn't want to stress a young baby or child with isolated nutrients; they could overstress the child. Garden of Life and MegaFood are 2 companies that make whole food supplements. Taken in moderation by children, they are far more digestible than regular vitamins & minerals. I hope this has been helpful. Best to you & your family.
