I know most people , like M.S believe that M.E. dosent really exist and its caused by the Mercury, but I read a book about M.E yesterday which was written by a doctor suffering with it herself. She has done mech intensive studying and also gone down the line of amalgam removal and Chelation and saw no improvement. She has been suffering for years. She says that M.E is caused by a virus that can lie dormant in your sytem for years. She says that once something kicks it off, which could be dental work, trauma or a viral illness, all the chemicals in your body and brain change. Every symptom she listed was the same as Mercury poisoning, but she says this is just one of the many things that you can become suceptible to. She said that the M.E virus has been proven to exist by autopsies and some didnt even have fillings. I am so confused cos I had a similar illness 20 years ago and didnt have any dental work, just a mega bad virus, then slowly recovered over 6 years. Although I still had some of the symptoms, occasionally, I lived a full life. So now what Im wondering is did the dental work just spark things off again. I really dont know what to believe right now. Id be interested in any opinions on this. I do know of a lady who had M.S. and had amalgam removal and Chelation and still has her condition.
