I don't recommend detoxing until your intestines are strong and your

liver, kidneys and colon are clear.

What's the exact value of your mercury reading?

Note that your level may be 'normal' because

most every one else in the U.S. also has mercury

running through their veins.

Note that a normal mercury (or any toxin) reading

from your bloodstream may also be meaningless because

what matters is how much toxins have accumulated in

your brain, liver, kidneys, thyroid, etc. This

will likely not correlate with blood levels.

As I said in another message, just because the test comes back normal

doesn't mean that you're in the clear. It could be that the mercury

has deposited somewhere in your brain or thyroid, and this is not

likely to show up on a blood or urine test unless you are taking

something to mobilize it into the bloodstream.

You should do both -- a good antioxidant will make you feel better

in the short term, while detoxing will make you feel better in the

long term (and potentially worse in the short term if you overdo it).

Hi Alison,

Mercury amalgam removal does seem to have been the cause of the onset of ES

for a number of people. It happened to my wife Sue (there are various posts

about this buried in the archives) and the Swedish (2001) questionnaire

responses given on FEB's website state that amalgam removal is one of the

most common trigger factors.

The mercury vapour gets mobilised in large quantities when it is drilled

out, and if it gets into the bloodstream appears to cause a range of

problems. Marc's point about it depositing in tissues and then being

undetectable by blood tests is a valid one. There has been a lot written

about whether mercury can cross the " blood-brain barrier " .

Some key questions which would make it more likely to be the cause of your

ES;

- did the dentist use a rubber dam and vacuum when removing your amalgams?

- did he give you any detox protocol (e.g. vitamin C, chlorella, charcoal,

etc etc) before and after the extraction?

- did you have a lot of fillings removed in one go?

- did you feel any unease or discomfort at the time? (e.g. rubber dam not

feeling properly in place, burning sensation in throat - this was what

happened to Sue)

- was your immune system already weak or do you have any known problems with

liver detoxification, leaky gut etc?

If answer to 1/2 is no or 3/4/5 is yes, I'd say the amalgam removal is a

likely cause.

Finding an answer is more tricky. Detox may help, with 2 provisos;

- mercury may be buried deep in tissues so may be difficult and slow to get

out

- if your immune system, gut or liver is weak and can't eliminate the

mobilised mercury, it will just go back into other tissues, sometimes making

things worse.

For Sue, her ES symptoms are definitely much worse when she is low in

magnesium - I think this is a common experience.

Subject: Blood Tests - need advice

Hi everyone, Im back.

I just got some results from my blood tests, magnesium, chromium and Iron

were low so this

can be resolved. One thing I dont understand, my electrosensitivity started

about the same

time I had amalgam fillings removed (for vanity reasons). I have had a

mercury test but this

has come back normal. I know it sounds strange but I was pinning my hopes on

having

mercury toxicity as at least there is a method to get rid of this over time

and potentially

reduce the ES.

Does anyone have any experienced advice on this? I find it so hard to

believe that this is not

linked to the mercury. My specilaist now suggests that I dont need to detox,

maybe take an

antioxidant... should I still try and detox? Any advice greatfully received,

I am so confused

with it all and feel I need to do something major or I will end up like this

forever, im just not

convinced vitamins are going to make this all better although I do

understand he is just

trying to help me.

Thanks,

Alison

[Guest guest]

Thanks for all the replies.

My fillings were just removed with no precautions taken, i think I had 4/5 done

there and

then with no hint it could be potentially dangerous. I feel extremely stupid

about this and

have regretted this decision greatly since getting the ES.

As yet I do not know the Mercury readings but I take all your points on board,

these have

been posted to me so I will let you know when they arrive.

My next question is, how do I detox etc? I understand I need to detox and take

antioxidants and apprecvate it will take time but I dont know where to start? I

am still only

eating organic fruit/veg mainly diet and drinking more water but I need to know

what to

buy or what I can do. I need to understand how to detox... any advice?

Also, I think my immune system is weak but are there any further tests to find

out? and

how can I strengthen this? I am doing my best with food and vitamins etc. Again,

any

thoughts greatfully received.

I understand you dont have all the answers on here but you have given the best

advice and

although I am still extremely bad, I am more hopeful, so thanks for this.

Here's a link to the herbs I have taken that have helped my immune

system and helped detox. Nettles are wonderful!

Sounds like you are on the right track with good food. I also have used

zeolite with unsure success. Ive done 6 bottles in the last five? months

and I like it, however can't tell if it really helped. The thing that

helps me the most is living with the electricity off at the breakers,

then turning on the breaker when I need it. That means knowing your home

electricity and which breakers control what. I also minimize my time on

the computer and practice " prudent avoidance " whenever possible. Sun,

and exercise are also very important. My health has really improved

since last november when I discovered my ES. It takes time. Sandi

My iron runs low too. Supplementing won't always fix it, as the body

will try to starve pathogens by keeping iron out of the blood.

My iron level improved after avoiding wheat. Other allergens (dairy)

might be considered for avoidance, also any mold (which is often

in commercial juices I've read).

Hi, Bill,

People with celiac disease have iron deficiency. This is caused by a gluten

intolerance which damages the site in the small intestine where iron is

extracted. People with celiac disease are intolerant of wheat, rye, barley, and

sometimes oats and millet. I write this because celiac disease has far reaching

consequences and one with this disease can tolerate 0 intake of glutens. (Just

avoiding wheat most of the time will not cut it.)

If you need more info, just write me privately and I will answer privately.
