Hi Bex

This is very weird. I answered your post and my answer is not there. I was very sleepy and must have pressed the wrong key. Oh, well, I have done that before.

I spent some time reading some of the posts on Mercury poisoning. After I read about some very impresive symptoms I couldn't help but to think that we have a whole world of people who probably have mercury poisoning in their systems. In the past I heard about it but never with the intensity that is talked about it in this forum.

I guess when people have those fillings removed, it is like opening a Pandora Box, you never know what is going to happen.

I only know one person who has taken the fillings out and she is very healthy. She told me she had them taken out because her spleen was in such bad condition that she had been told it was her only chance to live. She was 24 when the fillings were removed. Married and wanting a child but unable to get pregnant, she sustains that she got pregnant after the 4th month the fillings had been removed. Afterwards, she did keep a very strict diet and seldom left the path. The last time I saw her it was her 35th birthday. She had a boy and they both were the picture of health.
She told me that removing those fillings was the best money she invested on herself. I asked if she still follow the strict diet and she answered, "Absolutely."

It was her who taught me how important the antioxidants are.
Time has proven her right.

I asked myself, what will it take for the FDA to do away with Amalgam tooth fillings? But then I wonder if they have the power and if it is their juridiction. Maybe it is the insurances that have to stop being so cheap and start paying porcelain. But of course insurances won't pay for anything they consider a luxury. Perhaps it is up to the dentists together with patients to fight for our right not to have amalgam put in our mouths. So far I presume doctors probably claim there is not enough evidence of Amalgam fillings causing all these problems.

I read your post about the metal smell in the sweat. It made me remember that about 2 years ago I discovered a kind of sour smell under my breasts. I began to watch closely and noticed it showed up together with a white coated, purple tongue. I went to see an acupuncturist who told me I needed to be treated for digestive problems. LIke you and mostly anybody in this forum, I went down the line of different natural programs and different practictioners. I don't regret it and I bless everybody that tried to help me. The supplements helped me in many other ways but the white coated purple tongue remained as well as the acrid smell under my breasts.

One day, I discovered on my own a book on PH Balance. I thought it was very interesting and began to practice it. Well, the acrid smell under my breasts went away for good. It has never come back. The white coated purple tongue remained.

Someone recommended an Asian Dr. for this problem and I went to see him. After $300.00 dollars consultation fee, I was told I had heart trouble. I went to my doctor and he of course sent me to get all kinds of tests. Everything came out normal. My white coated purple tongued remained like that for years no matter what I did for my digestive system, tons of antioxidants, best natural tooth pastes, especial mouth rinses, you name it, I did it. One morning, two months ago, I opened my mouth to brush my teeth and I saw a normal tongue. My tongue is pink and looks totally healthy. What did it? Only God knows because I don't. I have a list of supplements I take but couldn't credit any particular one because I honestly do not know what did it. It can very well be a team effort.

My digestive system is fine and so is my heart but I am still fighting High Blood Pressure which is hereditary. The thing is that I never in my life had normal blood pressure. Am I going to die from it? Who knows. I do know that when I was given blood pressure medication I almost died. When I was taking the H.B.P. med my urine smelled like iron and heavy metals. I stopped taking it and all those smells went away.

This morning I read your post on this subject once more and I could identify with a lot of what you said in there. I won't ever let doctors give me B.P. medication. It was a terrible experience.

I rather watch my PH balance, my diet and take my supplements.

*A powdered complex of vitamins and minerals, magnesium caps, zinc caps, and some thyroid (natural), plus something for adrenals as well and I have to take iodine too. I'm not yet on everything, but taking it day by day.

Keep this doctor. I do believe the best supplements are either in powder form or liquid. I don't like pills. One doctor that I took some health classes with showed us a video of dead people whose insides looked like Christmas trees. They had all kinds of colorful pills stucked in their fatty tissues that never dissolved. Since that time, I don't care if powder and liquid supplements are more expensive I rather spend the extra money but I won't take pills. I do like capsules and I do take them sometimes but mostly I take powder or liquid supplements and teas. I also take chlorophyll everyday.

I am going to get the address of a website you might want to visit. Maybe you know it. It is Dr. Jensen's website. Are you familiar with Dr. Jensen?

He has a wonderful thyroid supplements and it is totally inexpensive. It has work wonders for several people I know.
It also tastes good.

Well, I better go to sleep. Hope you are feeling a little better. Like you said, we can only make it day by day.
