Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hi. Thank you for your advice. I'm glad that I now realize what it probably was. I'm going to make sure that I don't get too stressed out and don't get upset about things easily. I think I can definetly do that. I just wish I had known sooner that it would've affected me and I would've tried to stop myself. I could've been off the meds at the end of this month, but there's not much I can do now. Hopefully I will continue to have good labs like I was before. Thanks again! >From: " Karishma Daryanani " <ksdaryanani@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: [ ] Re: stephanie >Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2001 01:57:15 +0000 > >hey stephanie. yes i must say stress def has alot to do with the >fluctuation >of our labs. i am on ayurvedic medication...and the one thing i can always >rem my doc telling my mom was 'dont stress her out!' she also told my mom >to >make sure i was always happy and not to allow me to lose my temper cos >apparently all this adds up! > >hope this helps and u feel better soon.... >hugz >Karishma. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Our insurance, Oxford, has agreed to pay for the band 'out of network'. So basically we have to pay a $500 deductible and then 30% of the cost while Oxford covers 70%, we pay $1250 and they pay $1750. Of course I wish they would have paid it all, but this is better than nothing. CT actually suggested that after they pay the $1750 to try and appeal for the rest because I was told to go to CT and not anywhere else. I may give it a try, what have I got to lose? Thank you for asking about it! > I think I might have missed it- what is up with your insurance? > beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 yes stephanie - you are right. I had the most terrible depression for years - until I got my mercury fillings taken out 2 years ago. Helen Re: feeling suicidal - please tell us Sorry to drone on about the mercury-candida link ...but it is commonly said (among those studying this area) that mercury toxicity is a direct cause of suicidal ideation - along with a number of other psychiatric issues including schizophrenia and of course, autism. The last issue of the newsletter from DAMS (Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions) had an interesting article written by a man who recovered from severe schizophrenia (his was more or less institutionalized) which included suicidal *and* homicidal impulses after removing his amalgams and chelating for heavy metals. ~ C. > > I was not surprised to hear about someone with these health problems committing suicide as I think about it daily. I read this recently in a book, " I never really want to kill myself; I just want to die some kind of quick, painless death to put me out of my misery. " Any suggestions on overcoming these thoughts? > > Beth Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address. www.7.com.au/mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Helen, did you do any chelation after having the amalgams removed? Sometimes removing them will lessen the symptoms quite a bit, but usually chelation is required to completely overcome the problems they caused. ~ > > yes stephanie - you are right.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi After having the amalgams removed, I took chlorella which is a green powder that is supposed to remove mercury from the body. That was some experience. I would take a teaspoon at night. An hour later I would experience horrible pain and discomfort throughout my body, and a pounding heart that would go on for about 4 hours. I certainly couldnt sleep with it. I assumed this was the mercury being dragged through the body. I did it every night for about a month. Then eventually, the chlorella didnt seem to have to same effect anymore. I had a hair analysis (cost + $130) which indicated there was a negligible amount of mercury in the system. So I am assuming the chlorella took all the mercury out. However - (and I dont know what the exact cause is) - my skin went all saggy and my arms now sag like a 70 year old woman and I wonder if this was some sort of tissue damage from such an aggressive treatment - by an unqualified person like myself who decided to treat themself. As a single mum I cant afford to pay for naturopaths which are not covered by insurance in Australia (except for a minimal amount), so I read what I could and followed the instructions on the pack - I should have taken it more slowly I think..
