and fluttering eyelids too. Anyone else have this? I look like a druggie all the time.

thanks but I was asking if anyone else with amalgam poisoning has this symptom(s), not so much how to treat it.

So the main causes seem to br allergies and dehydration. many who are mercury toxic do produce inadequate stomach acid. Are you very sensitive to perfumes and cigarette smoke? if so, taking molybdenum supplements might help. Also B vitamins and vitamin c might help. Drink more water. are you doing chelation now? You might also want to take licorice root, milk thistle, and other herbs to help with detoxification.

Yes, I get this also. The fluttering eyelids, would you be referring to tics? Muscle spasms around that area? If so, I've had a lot of that with mercury toxicity.

Blurry vision was another one. Improved alot of these things with treating candida, though it wasn't a cure. Mercury was the reason why my system was unable to keep yeast in healthy balance. It overgrows anyway I think in the presence of metals, but the problem is also the immune system is unable to keep it in check either. So couple that with then feeding the already overgrown yeast with the wrong foods like sugar etc, and you can easily have a nightmare on your hands.

Mercury takes a long time to detox - it is not worth the misery of putting up with candida all that time it takes mercury to come out. You may not be able to cure it, but you can control it much better which can make life a lot easier.

I go on alot about yeast, but it's a big problme in mercury sufferers, or in fact anybody with a challenged/lowered immunity. It is well worth treating in the meantime and helps to cope with mercury and detox it better too in my experience.

I also get the twitching eyelids and muscle spasms. It is very irritating. I do agree with Bex, that it is a symptom in individuals suffering with mercury toxicity and candida. I notice that when I get my candida under control somewhat, the twitching all but diminishes, only to come back again when the candida has built up again. I have read it can have to do with magnesium deficiency, although have not tried to take any to see if it helps.

" I have read it can have to do with magnesium deficiency, although have not tried to take any to see if it helps."

I was about to mention that. I used to have rather frequent muscle twitching until I added 200 mg a day of magnesium citrate to my supplement regimen. Now I rarely have muscle twitching.
Copper supplements may also be protective for nerves.

The dark rings around the eyes are classic symptoms of allergies. Molybdenum supplements, and detoxification herbs such as licorice root, milk thistle, and detox teas help to decrease these. Also drinking more water helps.

Yes, I had this symptom when my amalgams were in; Not so much bags, but very dark circles.

When the amalgams were removed, the circles went away within hours and never came back, until...

2005, When aerosol spraying began in the town that I lived in.

I meant 200 mg of magnesium in the form of magnesium citrate. Perhaps even more should be used though. Perhaps even double that?

Dark circles are also a sign of toxicity. Reducing toxicity can also eliminate or near eliminate dark circles - which is why reducing candida can work very well for this.

Taking supplements did not help me enough until I was in a position to utilise/absorb nutrients better. I was unable to do that until I reduced excessive candida and of course reduce toxins in the process (which can be candida related too). THEN, progress in that area was made. I could feel the difference and good food also made a far bigger impact too.

In fact, here is an example - before the candida diet my nails would only grow to a point and no further. I had also gotten so ill, my hair became very thin and people commented on the change. There were plenty of other symptoms also. Yet I was on supplements, but to no real avail. Once on the diet? I was astounded at my nails suddenly growing and they were very pink and healthy looking with a nice white part at the end. I had never had that in my entire life! Even as a kid when I "thought" i was healthy.

I asked the doctor why this was happening? He said to me, because your body is now absorbing and using the nutrients properly like minerals (calcium etc). This might also account for why my hair became much healthier and thicker and even slightly wavy. Eyebrows and lashes thickened, skin became smooth and soft with the loss of blemishes and lines and eyes became clear and bright and much more strongly coloured.

But to get this, I didn't just eliminate the bad from my diet like sugar wheat/gluten and yeast. I started to consume raw foods. At that stage I was lucky that I could still eat fruit (natural sugar) and get away with it (I can't now). But even more powerful was the raw salads. Once I started adding them, the differences were marked. Heavy duty cleansing started.

Diet can never be ignored or played down as a side issue - the body builds on nutrition. Everything in you is reliant upon the foods you eat daily. Which is why dramatic differences can sometimes occur over a few weeks or months. As the body cleans out and rebuilds. To be able to get the goodness out of food again was incredible. To see the results was proof for me that diet was one of the most important things to get right. No amount of swallowing supplements before the diet did this for me.

Of course, I also needed to address the amalgams and then later detox the mercury. But in the meantime, the diet saved my life. It also motivated me more to do something about the amalgams and no doubt put me in a stronger position to handle the removals and the increased exposure to mercury. When one is overburdened with toxins, they can become extremely apathetic, severely depressed and suicidal. This is a dangerous way to be. Diet lifted me above that alot more. Antidepressants did not.

in my experience, dark bags under eyes=candida/leaky gut issues.

"in my experience, dark bags under eyes=candida/leaky gut issues."


Of course, but that equals allergies, since this is an allergic reaction to the toxins yeast produces, and/or an allergic reaction to improperly digested food.

I've started getting dark circles under my eyes. Prior to detox i didn't have any. I've done several rounds of DMSA and the circles are there to see.in fact i look terrible. Worse than before.

Often when one is going through die off or detox, their physical appearance can look wretched/haggard and dark circles are what I also get. I improved this by the candida diet however and it made it easier to detox other toxins.

As the toxins are now being moved around and out, it is hardly surprising that the symptoms have intensified. That is when you can also experience more allergic reactions as it's happening too. So you get a combination of reactions.

Healing symptoms are never easy to deal with. And they dont' usually make you look good either. I have often resembled somebody on strong drugs when I'm detoxing/healing.

Stuart, have you had your adrenals tested? Chelation can be hard on the adrenals and poor adrenal function is one of the things can cause dark circles under the eyes.

I have fluttering, twitchy eyelids too. I also have a slight tremor around my mouth . Coenzyme Q helps relieve muscle spasms . Choline also helps . Mercury can cause these spasms but another common cause is the use of antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs . These drugs damage , actually destroy, axons and dendrites in the neuron.They also cause muscle tension and chronic pain that persists years after you stop taking them .
