I would try to see if you an tolerate some Vitamin C, Zinc and Selenium. You

can get the last two in ioninc form so you can take just a little but to

B vitamins cause yeast overgrowth, and for me, I can't take them every

day because the yeast gets too bad. You might try taking a lower dose

of the vitamin and take it with something that eliminates yeast. I

take my vitamins [they have about 250% of USRDA in them] every other

day, and with one GSE tablet. This works for me.

Yeast overgrowth caused sound sensitivity for my son. And for me, I

do notice sometimes that I get a film over my eyes, and I want my

sunglasses more often than usual.

Among *many* other things. I would not assume it is the b's without

more evidence.

The problem with multis and other combo supplements is if you don't

tolerate an ingredient you can't tell which it is. I would suggest

getting some individual nutrients and trying separately. If you

have any individual nutrients (or at least things with smaller

number of ingredients) for your kids already, maybe try those to

see what you tolerate. If you are mercury toxic, the most

important things to get started are vit C, E, B complex, fish or

flax oil, milk thistle, magnesium, zinc, and molybdenum.

Light sensitivity and moodiness are adrenal symptoms. I get bad

light sensitivity when I need more adrenal support (along with

irritability, postural hypotension, episodes of weakness, low

blood sugar, various others). I'm not sure what else would cause

such a degree of light sensitivity - you might want to do a

search for other possible causes.

You sound about like me. I can tell you that all those fillings have

probably caused adrenal fatigue. I am the same age category and have

that along with light sensitivity. My son uses Spectrum and the

amount of bvites are actully low. We give him additional B vites

three times a day in addition to what is in Spectrum.

You may not tolerate supplements rigth now. I am still having a hard

time and I had my fillings out in May.

How much selenium is in the spectrum. This was a trouble supplement

for myself and many adults I have talked with who have mercury. For

some reason only now am I able to begin to tolerate baby amounts of

it. But I am on a yeast protocol and have done four rounds of

chelation. Before that..no way. I got serious mercury head if I took

selenium. One thing that helped me was flaxseed. So EPA's just not

from fish if you can help it. Unless they are tested for mercury

levels. Do not consume any fish /seafood either. Basically, you

don't want to add to your burden. I don't if anyone told you this

but don't chew gum until those fillings are out. Avoid extremely hot

foods (temperature not flavor), these things can make the filling

leak more. Also Vitamin C has been a great help, and not little

amounts...work up to like 4,000 mg a day. I take 1,000mg four times

a day. More if I feel cruddy. Somehow it helps the mercury symptoms.

Sad to report but my memory was one of the first clues that

something was wrong. I felt like I was losing it. If you can start

with some Adrenal Cortex(if needed), lots of C, and maybe probiotics.

Bit by bit, one at a time. I know that after my fillings were

removed my adrenals got worse, this is really common, so I you can

treat them now, it might go better after.

___,,,^.~.^,,,___ Jan, you use the expression, " getting mercury head. "

I'm really curious to hear a more detailed description of what you

mean by that. I want to see if your description is similar to what

I think you mean, because I get a strange sensation sometimes in

response to certain intakes that I have attributed (subjectively)

to mercury being mobilized. Curious to know if others have the

same experience or if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

---Thanks, meow.

No problem: for me mercury head is a headache, brain fog really bad,

like under water, can't think straight, can't focus, can't

concentrate, overwelming urge to sleep, fussy vision sometimes, head

can be " buzzing " like too much going on but none of it makes sense...

any of that sound familiar. It can be accompanied by fears, thoughts

of doom, panic, the oh my God we are all going to die feeling,

overall you feel like your head is on but not connected to the rest

of you.

Another note: what kind of fish oil are you using? Many brands are

actually high in mercury and this will aggravate your symptoms.

Many here use Nordic Naturals as it is the best tested so far. My

doc of integrated med/dental who removed my fillings said I could

not use any fish products or consume fish/seafood for one year

following removal, as any mercury even the tiniest amount would

signal an immune response that she said I would be sorry for. Just

an FYI, to check your oil. If does contain mercury this will make

your symptoms worse. You can use flax oil, or forti flax.
