Hope that this is not getting off the topic. On top of all the crap that I am trying to deal with... depression, pin and needles and numbness of lower limbs and feet, hormonal dysfunction, teeth grinding, headaches, loss of hearing, brain fog, fatigue, hypothyroidism and everything that goes with that..........

My doctor has told me that I have mycoplasma. It has shown up in 3 of my pathology tests now (each 2 months apart). I don't really know a great deal about mycoplasma. He seems to think that it must now be inbedded in my cells and the only way to get rid of it would be to take antibiotics for several months. Apparently mycoplasma is a type of parasite. Now that he knows about this ,he seems more concerned about the mycoplasma than my mercury detox. Couldn't the mycoplasma just be another symptom of mercury toxicity? Perhaps I am just pathetically immune compromised due to mercury toxicity and my system is allowing pathogens and parasites to invade etc.

Has anybody else out there been diagnosed with mycoplasma?? My doctor also wants we to be tested for lymes disease. I didn't even realise that we had that in Australia. Does mycoplasma have something to do with Lymes disease ?? I recall reading some threads here last year about Lymes disease but didn't take any notice because I didn't really know what it was about.

I like to keep the old naturopathic saying in mind: The pathogen is nothing the terrain is everything. I used to have EBV but I know that it was because of Hg.

As far as I can reason, mercury toxicity is a more fundamental problem than EBV, lyme, mycoplasma, babesia, etc. Mercury sets you up for all of these infections. Focus on getting rid of you mercury.

I second that. Well said.
