Acrodynia Disease (aka Mercury Toxicity)... I have it, DO YOU have it?

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

By the way a minor correction, You were mostly correct about

Acrodynia. From my research about this term, which I discovered what

it was just recently, it is actually the medical term used for the

overall syptoms of Mercury Toxicity. It was discovered in the late

40's and 50's that teething powders contained it and then they

removed it. personally, I still have daily symptoms of this

problem... just as my brother does whom he and I were exposed at the

same time 21+ years ago.

Basically, I am looking for help, and I do not know how to get it.

Having a very difficult time to function at any jobs, this is

actually very overwhelming for me. I wish I could craft the right

words to express how I feel about this whole topic.

ly, I just want to get over how I feel and move on with my life.

I feel STUCK... and it feels like there is nothing else I can do

about this.

I had a head injury about 3 years ago, and until then I had done

everything I could just to perform at 'normal' epectations that

others function at all the time.

Since then, I have had 2 tests done: My Blood, then a

urine 'challenge' test.

Right now, I haven't cut my hair for 6 months and I plan on getting

a hair analysis as soon as I have the fund to do so.

I have had various symptoms for most of my life since I was about 8

years old... which was about the same time that I was first exposed

to liquid mercury for more then a month.

Since then I have had so many of the symptoms but mercury was never

considered as the absolute source... because the overall condition

is extremly rare.

I know I can overcome this, but i do not know how i can get it done

alone.

What I lack most in my life right now is money, I have thought of

asking people that I have called 'friend' and ask them to assist me,

but I haven't known how to make this happen.

There is nothing I want more in my life right now then to get proper

medical treatment, and properly detoxify from mercury.

If you can, Please help. I am woring on setting up a medical fund

for me so I can get the medical care that I need so badly.

Hi:

Well, grab on to hope. Since you know that you have mercury

poisoning, and you are so tight economically, save the money of the

test, for the moment, you may want to save the hair too for the

future, and spend it on ALA, and possibly vitamins.

If you are truly desperate, and you have NO DENTAL AMALGAMS, as well

as being sure you had not a considerable expossure of mercury in the

last 3 months, you could buy a bottle of ALA at the vitamin shoppe

(you CAN do this, I just paid $7.98 for 100 caplets of 100 mg).

Buy instead the 50mg tablets for starters, and buy a pill cutter in

CVS (vitamin shoppes' pill cutter doesn't work too well) for another

7 bucks. Cut the tablets in half and take 1/2 pill every 3 hours day

and night for 3 days, rest 4, and see how you feel. That is a grand

total of 4 tablets a day, 12 pills per round of quelation, a bottle

of 100 pills will last you 2 months. So you can chelate 2 months for

under $20 bucks, and about $10 a month thereafter. I can't promise

you will be tremendously confortable, but you will be in your way to

smartly getting rid of mercury.

But in 5 rounds, for about $20, you will know for sure if you have

mercury or not,the test cots $86 and DOESN'T remove any mercury.

Besides, if you were to find that you have no mercury, well, you

would not have wasted your money either, ALA is a fantastic

antioxidant and helps the mitochondria, so you will just feel

better.

If you have more than $20 for the first month try to eat yogurt with

live probiotics or buy a cheap probiotic brand at vitamin shopp, as

ALA will increase yeast. If you buy oil to cook, buy coconut oil,

which will help you to control yeast too. If you can add more

supplemnts, add a multivitamin, vitamin C, preferably buffered, etc

etc.

Before anything, read a lot in this list, read ANDY INDEX and

MERCURY FAQ which you can find in the files. Check DANA's stuff,

too, she chelated her boys whith ALA only and can serve you for

inspiration.

And ask, ask ask lots of questions.

The head trauma you sufered reminds me of all the times I read that

mercury has similar effects than head trauma. You may have both,

mercury and trauma to the brain. This is my hope for you, that as

you chelate you start functioning better and you can soon get a part

time job that will allow you to invest more into your recovery and

as you do your research, you will find some options for brain injury

that may make sense to you. Perhaps you want to consider HBOT

therapy, you may want to do that after you chelate, and full

chelation may take you about 2 years.

Hope the best for you.

Warmly,

Raquel
