About four months ago afer losing alot of weight intentional I would in the middle of the night in a panic. My heart felt like it stopped, I woke it was racing, I was cold weak, and felt I was gonna pass out. Nobody could find anything. I was extremely anxious and on edge, my temperature always subnormal especially on waking. (armpit basal) I was also very short of breath, not that I could'nt get air but that I could breath in enough like something was constricted.
It has gotten slightly better not much. I still get numb/cold legs and hands and weird crawling feeling on my forehead , a feeling, slightly depressed, apathtic, palpatations, dry eyes, feeling of a great pressure in my nose, hot flashes, feelng of being sand blasted, really really tired no matter how much sleep I get. I feel better if I nothing, the minute I do somethng in partially stressful everything gets worse. I have suspected low testosterone from the heavy metals. (I'm male) Any ideas? The only thing I can figure is that the massive weight loss (30 pounds in 2 1/2 months) burned alot of fat with heavy metals in it that were free to roam again. I did a hair test and my nickel was 8x the normal limit. Where you get that I have no idea. I have two amalgams that have been in for 14 years. I get them out in a a week. Any ideas? What can I do till I get them out? Ever used foot pads? The next thing I can figure is misery loves company and the high nickel along with mecury in my fillings is exponential.

Thanks

Hi Jason, I totally relate to your symptoms, i also have nickel toxicity, i am 5ft 4in and my weight is now less than seven stones, i have been ill with this now for well over a year the worst thing for me is food intolerances, all i can now safely eat is meat veg and some fruit (not much) My nickel toxicity came from the environment and a nickel dental crown, it took me months and lots of doctors to find out what was causing my LONG LIST of symptoms, during this time i was still exposed to nickel and my health problems were COMPOUNDING!! i think weight loss imobolises metals. So far i have done almost 200 hours infrared sauna, which i think has helped, taken lots of sun chlorella (but now worry it is contaminated with nickel) also taking zinc is good for nickel poisoning. I also had two colonics that went well, but the third was horrendous, SO MANY toxins were stirred up that i could hardly function i felt utterly poisoned. Do you have any dental crowns?

Hi, I have 6 mercury fillings in my mouth right now. Two will be replaced today at 2:30 Eastern time (please say a prayer for me folks)
and then after today I will have 4 more left on the upper jaw.

I had many of the symptoms you've described- including depression for no reason, and throw in some dizzy spells to that, as well as forgetfulness.

I've used those detox foot pads during the first dental visit and a day afterwards-- and I took Algin and Charcoal tablets before and after as well.

I drank alot of herbal teas afterwards also, and made sure I breathed in fresh air right after the drilling.

I took lots of Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids-- before and after. It probably wasnt a good idea to take that beforehand, as they had to inject me several times with Novacaine because the Vitamin C was keeping it from numbing.

I reccomend cleaning out your colon before your dental visit, so any mercury that enters your system can flush out more easily- and I also reccomend getting some Algin capsules (sold here at Herballure's catalog) and taking them before and after with juice. Also, keep the Algin on hand to help in chelating out the existing mercury once the metal fillings are all out too. It really does sponge up and flush out any mercury it comes in contact with., and it alleviates many of the symptoms people suffer when mercury keeps moving about in the body.

I recently purchased this oral mouthwash called "Denta Chelat" to use as a rinse instead of the flouride rinse the dentist has in the cup for me to use. They say to rinse the mouth beforehand, during and after the drilling out of the old filling.

It binds to any mercury vapor from the drilling and you spit that right out after rinsing.

I will be using it for the first time this dental visit.

Last dental visit I had no negative symptoms, and actually felt very uplifted and energized after the first two fillings were removed.

I realize that after all the fillings are removed, the body has reserves of mercury that will suddenly dump into the system as a reaction of all the fillings no longer being there in the mouth. That is why they say so many who've gotten their fillings removed feel fine at first, then like 2 months later, they feel horrible.

Vitamin C with Bioflavonoiods, and Algin will help with this, and slow chelating , detoxifying . and a keeping on a healthy diet will help a person get through that period.

Then after that hurtle is through, you begin to see the light, and are on the pathway to a better future!

Jason, I too lost alot of weight at first, had panic attachs, depression, major anxiety, low body temps, and no hormones. Doctors couldn't tell me anything so I figured it out on my own.

Jason, thank God you only have the two fillings and they will be removed in 1 week. . I read in Hal Huggin's book, "It's all in your Head", that even though the older metal fillings never lose all thier mercury even after your death, the newer ones on the market have even more toxicity -- including nickel than the old amalgam.

So if your' in your 20's or 30's, chances are you have even more toxic metal fillings than those of us in our 40's and 50's and older-- and WE have symptoms!

I just had the two fillings removed at 2:30 so I have 4 more to go-- August 8th and September 1st, Lord willing.

Hang in there!

Take some vitamin C with Bioflavonoids now each day until 48 hours before the dental apt.

Try to keep your colon clean and make sure your having good bowel movements. Use psyllum Husk or some other natural colon cleanser if you are only getting 1 or less bowel movement a day.

Eat very nurituious and skip junk foods, refined sugar, etc, to prepare your body for the filling removal.

Eat an apple a day before and after the removal. Apples have a detoxifying effect on toxins and even some metals.

See if you can purchase Algin online at Herb Allure's catalog. I checked, they are cheaper than the other few companies that offer it. You get it fast too.

Thanks all....Just wanted to clarifiy I lost weight intentional. IE I went on a crash diet, which I believe just let go of a bunch of heavy metals in my fat. Are heavy metals stored in fat? People don't get it. It hard to explain what it feels like for someone that has'nt experienced it.

emmalee, how long before your symptoms started to go away? are they completely gone now?

I have my fillings removed in less than a month so I will keep you updated.

Yes, I read that mercury is stored in our fat deposits-- so it would make sense your getting a "Mercury Dump" on your body after losing the weight that fast and unleashing the mercury from the fat cells,etc.

I wonder if you may also want to try eating alot of oatmeal. I heard that oatmeal acts as a mop - almost like Chlorella, and shoves all the toxins out of the body through your intestinal tract..

I firmly believe a large contributor to the weight problem in the U.S. is mercury toxicity.

I went from 100% fit to "way-too" fat in 2 years at age 33 to 35... just before my removal in 2000. Before this age, I never had weight problems at all.

I have attached a before/after picture to this post.

I too also gained alot of weight right before I got sick. I really had to try to lose weight. I am almost 25 and I was 6'3 250. Leading up to the problems that I was having I probabaly gained 20 pounds in 2 months. I have a hypothethis your body probably gains fat to store heavy metals so they don't go elsewhere like your brain nerves etc. Makes sense, also makes since why I "dumped" so much metal in my body when I INTENTIONALLY lost weight.

Now that you are saying this I too lost weight around the time of new fillings, after fillings going really skinny and a few months later started having problems and gain 35 pounds around my waist fast. I didn't really ever change diet or exercise.

I know this is a little off the subject but...

It's known that mercury causes changes in eye-fluid pressure and can cause Myopia (near-sightedness - about 90%) and hyperopia (far-sightedness - about 10%).

My business partner (Laura) just began exploring the relationship between the time she had 8 fillings put in during one visit to the Dentist and her near-sightedness. She's pretty sure that her eyes went bad very quickly the year immediately after the 8 fillings were inserted. We just have to verify the dates.

You know that may be a possibility....I always had excellent vision.....an eye doctor even commented that I should be needing glasses at my age....hee hee.

Then I had a crown put in using gold as the base and it was a while after that, (I don't remember how long) but I started needing reading glasses.

I am learning about gold making mercury release faster....so, there could be a connection.

Geeeze, there ought to be a law.

That's interesting to me as before I lost my health (July 2003) after I had lost weight and became as small as I wanted to be. It was just a few months before that time that my big mercury filling cracked which is why I think I became majorly ill not too long after. The weight loss might have contributed if what you are saying is true. HMM.

Might be unrelated, but the same time I started to develop OCD, was the same time I needed glasses, and all this was a couple of years after I started to have fillings. My eyesight has stayed very much the same over the past 10 years. I haven't had a mercury filling for 8 years.

I read your first post and your symptoms all point to mercury. Have it checked out by someone specially trained.

Thanks. It's good to hear that someone doesn't think I am crazy! I am looking into finding a dentist I can trust to deal with this.

Until looking into this and reading peoples posts here, I never even realised how many health complaints I do have! I just accepted them as existing. Wow

Thanks so much for this board and allowing those of us who are concerned to connect with others. Just knowing there are others going through this is a help.

I'll let you know what happens. Cheers! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Your health problems actually are very common. More people need to realize that these health issues are being thrust upon us. From autism to MS, most diseases are "man made".

The mercury issue is THE HEALTH ISSUE OF THE NEXT DECADE.

Pass it on and get well <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just got a hair analysis back tonight and my nickel is over 6x the normal limit. I'm getting my amalgams out starting in late April. It will be numerous visits with about 15 fillings. I was tested with a kinesiology test which showed high levels of mercury, though that didn't come up in the hair analysis. But i don't think mercury makes its way out the scalp, just stays in organs, brain and spine. I blame it for my OCD, anxiety and numerous other problems.
