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,
