Murcury Toxicity Due to Dental Amalgams

I came into the world healthy. I was poisoned by age 8. I started having weird symptoms of brain fog, fatigue, chronic bleeding nose, and weight gain. I was in and out of doctors for 10 years saying that there was nothing wrong with me and it was all in my head. Little did they know they were correct? I am one of those individuals who are very sensitive to mercury. Having 14 amalgams for 30 years put a big strain on my immune system. I was told I was headed for Lou Gerig’s disease.

With my persistence and the luck of living in a place where there were qualified practitioners to help me, I am happy to say I am 7 years amalgam free and have just a bit of mercury toxicity. I am grateful for the challenge and awareness and I am now a qualified practitioner helping others with their mercury toxicity exposure.

Editor's note:  When we talk about a toxin, it does not mean that a substance definitely causes toxic reactions in everyone at the same clinical level.  A toxic substance can kill one person while it does not affect others as much.  We believe that mercury in dental amalgams acts just like other toxins.  The editor personally had experienced misery after getting silver fillings in a tooth.  Fatigue, particularly in the afternoon after one or two o'clock is the obvious symptoms.  The poisoning symptoms can last a few years or longer.  The message is that we need to learn to control our life.
