Female-- 43 going on 20

Symptoms since the first filling at age 10-12:

1-Right after filling added in tooth-- in the car leaving the dentist office I began feeling spaced out and dizzy-- as though on some wierd drug. I had not been given any painkillers or laughing gas either.

2- At age 13, my sister and I both needed glasses. Both of us had metal fillings added at the same time. We both developed presbyopia-- near-sightedness.

3- Developed a speech impediment. Unable to speak without stammering or stuttering, and became very shy and reclusive - and the stuttering didnt help matters.

4. 13 onwards, had poor memory and needed to study extra long to retain any information for tests.

5. age 13, onwards, would get chronic respitory infections-- including bronchitis , yearly influenza- sometimes twice a year. Chronic colds every so many months. Developed hayfever as well.

6. From puberty on, continued to have the same respitory and allergy issues, but also began having chronic yeast infections and candidas -- which became aggravated during each menstrual period. Menstrual periods were also very heavy as well- and would cause me to lose anti-bodies, which would bring on a new respitory infection right after the Period.

7. Also continuing shyness and rapid speech, with stuttering. Low feelings of self-worth, poor memory and unable to think of word when needed in a conversation.

8. Teens to 20's and 30''s. All of the same symptoms as when younger- but with peridontal gum issues added. Lower teeth also loose, and the dentist would point this problem out during each tooth cleaning-- even though I flossed my teeth daily.

Also got dizzy spells when drinking hot liquids or citrus, or chewing on very crunchy foods. I would have to brace myself against a table or else stumble from the dizzyness. I no longer have this, but know people at work who also get this symptom-- who still have metal fillings . Unfortunately, these people just brush these symptoms off as "hormones or whatever or, "something that happens a lot since I was young".

I would often have unexplained muscle twitches --especially in eyelid and facial area. This has left for good as well.

Migraine headaches are also gone for good. I used to get these the week before my period,- and would blame PMS or stress. Now I no longer get migraines- even during PMS.

I also am no longer shy-- unless it is around a group of highly arrogant snob-type people. Then I am more irritated than shy.

I am more outspoken and more assertive these days. I also found that I can speak more slowly and the stuttering really diminished alot. I have been taking ALS three months after my last filling was replaced, and ALS helps rid any mercury in the brain.

One thing that really impressed me lately was getting back short-term memory! I can look at a phone number in the phone book and not have to keep repeating it so I don't forget it in my head before I get to the phone. My father still has this problem and he still has metal fillings in his mouth. I wish he would also get them replaced as I did, but he feels at his age, it isn't worth it.

I got mine replaced two at a time every other month or so- and went to a regular dentist. If I had gone to a holistic dentist, maybe I would have had all eight removed at one time.

I also made sure to follow the proper procedures and supplementation before , during and afterwards- and even used a Dental Chelat mouthwash in place of the dentist's flouride commercial brand when he had me rinse my mouth out after each filling was removed.

I used Algin supplmemnts between my filling replacements and only began using Chlorella with the Algin after the last filling was replaced. It took from May to September- and sadly it was the day of the Katrina Hurricane that I had my last filling replaced.
