mercury

[Guest guest]

Wow!!!! Thanks for the info as I am about to embark on having all of my

fillings replaced by the glass/white fillings starting on March the 9th... I

really think the mercury affects the way the amino acids are hindered and then

it goes into the mineral problems we all seem to have. I think we should all

have these suckers removed and take the copper, zinc, etc. and get plenty of

rest; no stress! Really heal our minds and bodies good; even leave the job or

cut back to part-time for a least a year. Also, get the Crystal Springs

distilled water to drink in your home, no tap water with flouride in it like I

have done, my skin is clearing up from this!

We all need to pamper ourselves because no one else wants to really, or

will...

Buy that new CD or dress, have lunch out get your hair conditioned, have a

massage once a month; we all have earned it-- Graves disease etc. is our own

private hell to fight even though we are in this group(a very big positive),

or have a family. Take time to " pay yourself first " the mistake we now must

pay for.

I agree Joan, why is there a propensity to trust the almighty doctors, when

you find something that is related to the epilepsy in your child or

yourself, we are suppost to be quiet about it? I thought we wanted to be

cured of epilepsy, correct me if I am wrong? If it is an inordinate amount

of posts, perhaps there is something to it? Don't shun us, we are here to

help you too!

I put in the blender a bunch of cilantro (without stems) with a little water and some olive oil and sea salt. It should have the consistency of pesto. I take 3 Tbs. throughout the day for mercury poisoning. Also I have heard asparagus has also properties to pull out mercury from the system. It is advisable not to eat fish, as fish is contaminated with the metal. mercury I read an article about the value of cilantro juice in pulling heavymetal out of the body, specifically, post cavity removal mercury. Itwas recommended to be concerned about the large amounts of mercury thatbecome freed up to infiltrate the body after cavity removal. and regulardoses of cilantro juice was recommended to push the mercury out.Frances

[Guest guest]

Hi CB and all,

the organizations that finally helped me find these dds were:

Found. for Toxic Free Dental (www.iaomt.org) at (407) 298-2450 (a org of

mercury free dentists)

Wholistic Dental Assoc. (970) 259-1091

DAMS (800) 311 6265 (patients grp)

good luck.

have also heard of a book $5.95 Dental Mercury Detox published by

Bio-Probe, Inc. (800) 282-9670 and written by several of the dentists in

the first org. listed above.

Im concerned that these cases get enough documentation to actually support

a class action law suit of the future and so I 'm joining the 3rd org.

listed which is a patients advocate group.

I am not sure offhand of the source of the article; however, I do recall

that it did say that when the operation was done to remove the amalgam

fillings, it releases quite a bit of metal into the system, and that it

is important to use a 'chelating' agent (cilantro juice being a cheap

natural chelator).

Hope this helps,

Frances

Hair analysis is one way but you could have some

mercury toxicity and not have it show up on hair

analysis.

There used to be a special 24 hour urine test that was

the best way to tell. Maybe something else available

now. Anyone know?

I had a hair analysis done following the removal of a mouthful of amalgam

fillings, but it was negative. I do suffer a lot from Candida and appalling

short term memory (like forgetting whose number I have just dialled!), so I

wonder if I have it. Does anybody know what reliable tests are available in

the UK?

That is odd. Did your mother have mercury fillings?

Have you eaten a lot of fish? Have you broken a

mercury thermometer? Perhaps you live in an area

which has a lot of mercury contamination

in the local environment? Or perhaps you've

eaten other types of foods that have been

contaminated.

We like to put the blame on dental fillings for

all of our mercury exposure, but there are

certainly lots of other sources, including some

over the counter and prescription medications.

I assume you had some sort of test for mercury

levels (hair? urine? blood?). These tests aren't

known for their accuracy/relevance, as the places

where mercury accumulates in the body are not

places which are ever tested (e.g, thyroid, kidneys,

brain)

Hi,

The same here.

I never had any fillings at all.

Still I had quite high mercury levels.

My dowsing rod says I had 18 grams at birth.

At age 25 I still had 17 grams.

Right now, age 27, after a year of detoxing a lot (lipoic acid, vitamin C in

megadoses and other stuff), I'm down to 3.4 grams and still going strong.

My mother had 60 grams before she got pregnant (from me, the oldest son) and

right now (after giving birth to three kids) she has 20 grams left.

Where did the 40 grams go?

Please note, these are all values given by a dowsing pendulum.

Please also note, 60 grams seems like an amazing amount of mercury, but remember

that mercury is 20 times as heavy as water.

One teaspoon of water is 5 grams, so one teaspoon of mercury weighs 100 grams.

60 grams is only 60% of a teaspoon of a mercury.

I believe I got my mercury from my mother. During pregnancy a *lot* of mercury

is dumped into the children.

Quite often, the first (few) child(ren) of a woman with a very high mercury

burden are born dead/miscarriage because too much mercury is dumped into the

baby.

My dowsing pendulum says I'm detoxing at a speed of 120mg mercury per day since

I started the optimized diet (which I dowsed myself and sure does improve detox)

and I'm using lipoic acid.

Beforehand I would detox about 50 mg mercury per day using lipoic acid,

*without* the special diet.

Saturday I still had 3.7 grams of mercury in my body and right now it has

dropped to 3.4 grams.

Of that 1.8 grams is still in my brain.

It also says that when I drop to near 0, the will disappear.

My intestinal problems will disappear near 1.3 grams and my skin allergies will

disappear near 1.0 grams.

I hope to have all my mercury gone in a few months. So far, my health has

improved amazingly and my emotional health even more.

My energy levels have risen considerably and my chakra's are functioning way

better it says (and I can feel that).

has improved considerably also, but I think that *all* mercury has to be

removed to be successfull.

I use the lipoic acid mercury detox protocol by Cutler.

http://www.noamalgam.com/

My dowsing pendulum also explained to me that I have I'm unable to detox mercury

naturally because of the genetic make-up.

It also says that the same genetic make-up applies to about 90% of the persons

who suffer from e-Sens. At age 25 I still had 17 of the 18 grams I had at birth.

Please note: So far my dowsing results show quite high accuracy levels, but I'm

not 100% sure if it's the thuth.

If you want, I could dowse the levels of mercury in your body if you give me

your name. I can also check the genetic aspect.

If you want I can also give figures on how successfull different mercury detox

protocols will be for you.

Please note: It's your repsonsability to do with the figures what you want. I

can't guarantee they are correct.

Take care,

Ed,

the Netherlands

Not that I know of for sure but vaguely remember maybe

one getting broken when I was very small. (Like maybe

5?) Also I went swimming alot as a little kid and

think that mabye a mercury thermometer broke in the

pool? No one really remembers any of this so it is

Yes. I think our water had e coli, and all kind of

from the one test I had done.

Urine test. Mercury was very elevated. Yes, that was

kind of strange because most people it isn't at all

even if they are very mercury toxic. I have adrenal

problems and thyroid problems too so I am guessing the

mercury caused or contributed to it.

Yeah, mine was elevated in urine, blood, and

While I'm sure that Ed's post on dowsing stretches many folks credibility,

I asked him to dowse me. Ed said that I had 40 grams of mercury at

birth, 200 grams (two teaspoons?!?) at my worst point, now down to 11 grams.

Also he checked various chelators that I have tried in the past, and said

that NDF would be the best way to get rid of the remaining mercury, and

that it had already gotten rid of 100 grams.

I can't find any obvious fault with this dowsing, as most of these things

cannot be proved anyway. I can say that his rating of 10 different

chelators I've tried did not contradict my own personal experience with

them (right down to rating poorly stuff that I couldn't tolerate at all).

I did feel that NDF got the most mercury out with the least side

effects, and I did go through 15 ounces of it (that's $1200 worth

today, much more when I took it years ago) before I moved onto

other things.

I couldn't agree more. I had a heavy metal chelation 24 hour urine

test. I tested very high for several metals, though not so much for

mercury (never had any fillings). Anyway, by one month after the test

I was spending most of my time in bed with a heating pad on my icy

burning shins. After 2 years I haven't really gotten over it. I

switched doctors - the new one said the chelator was inappropriate for

me and had caused more damage.

Zoe,

That is a very good question! I had joined this list several months

ago with thyroid problems. Mercury affects the arenals and thyroid

the most. I believe that I have a family history of thyroid weakness

but years of Hg exposure was causing havoc. According to

www.noamalgam.com, the safest way to chelate mercury is using DMPS,

DMSA or ALA (alpha lipoic acid). These are all potent sulphur bearing

products. These are the only things, reported by Andy Cutler, to

cross the blood brain barrier and many have mercury accumulated

there. In his bood he talks about how it affects your hormones when

it accumulates in the brain. Hg also has an affinity for the thyroid

gland. After one round of chelation with ALA, my thyroid function

improved. It works on intracellular and extracellular accumulations.

Since mercury is my issue primarily, and the iodine was secondary to

this so now I am chelating the hg, it is painstaking! I use less

iodine now.

I have not read the book yet but it is apparently avaialable on the

website and locally. There are two groups for support frequent-

dose-chelation and adult-metal-chelation, and he is available also by

email. It's important to check in there before starting, if you

choose to go that route.

years before. I was eating fish a couple times a week, so I stopped

the fish and tried a few things with chelation. Eventually, I

decided just to focus on eliminating the intake of mercury and

allowing the body to detox at its own timing. I take 200 mcg of

selenium. Maybe I should be taking more?

I have only seen casual references to this by Abraham and

Brownstein. Does anyone have more information on this??? E.g., info

on the research and how much mercury is being removed, the mechanism

by which iodine might be affecting the mercury, etc.

take extra iodine???

This is how I am currently following the protocol:

I have a timer that rings every 3 hours around the clock.

I divide doses of 50 or 100 mg into smaller doses---currently, 17mg.I

take it every 3 hours for at least 3 days. I started at 12.5.Never

change doses in the middle of a round.

I set the timer and take that dose every three hours, including at

night-(plus an alarm)

There are vitamin, herbs and mineral recommendations in the protocol

to minimize oxidative damage from re-exposure.

Recommended to stop the routine when symptoms are too severe or not

more than a couple of weeks. Minimum 3days because it takes that long

to start leaving the brain.

Try to take breaks as long as the round at first.

The idea is to use small amounts for a longer period rather than a

large amount for a shorter period. The latter tended to make people's

symptoms worse.

I am trying to go for a week this time.

There is alot on the website. HOpe that helps!

Are the details to the protocol you are following for mercury detox

in the book that is sold on Cutlers' website?

Thx
