Hi Laura, I am new to using this forum but wanted to ask you about my symptoms. Mine started (I think) with using colloidial minerals - this was suggested by my sister (she says they're great) After about 3 days of using them my hands and feet started to ache and got worse - I stopped taking the minerals after about 3 weeks. then a week aafter that I started getting a sensation in my left leg then in my left hand and then it spread to my other leg and then pain, blurred vision etc. I have had an MRI for ms on my spinal cord and brain and the neurologist said my brain was healthy and that It was extreme anxiety, light sensativity and tremors. I then started thinking back before these events happened - I had (until a month ago) a copper IUD and 11 amalgams some from 25 years ago - 2 put in, in the past 2 years - I've had stomach issues for a few years now and certainly bloating etc for several years I had a very sore throat that started before christmas and they didn't know what caused it - It could possibly be thyroid - test in 2 weeks - I've had very bad brain fog - over years, not all the time, but certainly from time to time. What do you think????
I think I certainly could do with some answers.
Have already had 5 amalgams removed and am left with slightly weak toe on my left side and my left hand doesnt always work as it should.
would love to hear what you think.

Hi Leeann, I apologize for the delay in responding. I read your post and in my opinion, it sounds like you're experiencing classic symptoms of mercury toxicity. You say you recently had 5 amalgams removed. If they weren't removed by a dentist who uses certain "safety" protocols, then you likely were exposed to large doses of mercury vapor, which would certainly help explain the neurological weaknesses you're now experiencing. Whether or not a copper IUD has contributed to your problems, I honestly don't know. And as far as taking colloidal minerals...it seems doubtful to me that this would "cause" your symptoms. I would instead tend to think it was either a coincidence or perhaps the solution had a lot of sugar in it (to make it taste better) and this aggravated the underlying problem you have. The bottom line, in my opinion, is that since you have amalgam fillings, you have mercury toxicity. I'm including a link below to information that will better explain what mercury toxicity is and what to do about it: Mercury Toxicity information There are also 2 books I highly recommend reading, especially before you have any more amalgams removed: It's All In Your Head by Hal Huggins Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis & Treatment by Dr. Andrew Cutler In the meantime, here's a link to information about what you can do to help with your symptoms while you still have amalgams in your mouth (be sure to read the information about Algin: Tips for living with Mercury while amalgams are still installed I hope this helps get you started. Feel free to post any other questions you have. We have a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum who have been through what you're going through. We'll all be glad to help however we can. Sincerely,
|
