Hello Everyone - 04/20/08 12:18 AM
It's nice to see a talk forum that actually talks about this issue. I'm glad this is here!
I've had a long battle with knowing something wasn't right with me for the past 11 years.
It has progressively taken it's toll on my body and mind.
I'm so glad to have found a solution to all the madness.
I had 10 Amalgams. At around age 11, I had a dentist, new to the field, tell me my teeth had crevices in them, and that he needed to fill all moler teeth on top and bottom of one side of my mouth (he did the same on my sister's).
He told my mom to bring us back in a week and he would do the other side. Gladly she didn't take us back.
Also, when I was a young adult, I broke one of the filled teeth half way off, well I had a dentist to put a metal mold around that tooth and place amalgam for the other half. I began to get sick after that, 11 years ago.
I don't like to spend money on myself, but knew if I wanted to be around to watch my kids grow up, I would need to do something now. I went to a couple of reg. doctors.. One did blood work on me and said I was perfectly fine. I told him my symptoms, my blood sugar going out of wack and that I couldn't make it to even get groceries for my family. (I would go to the bathroom at the store in hopes I didn't pass out before leaving). The doctor I thought was going to save me, told me, he didn't understand what I was talking about. And don't self diagnosis, with saying blood sugar problems when the blood work said I was ok.. He told me it sounded like I was depressed and needed antidepressants.
I went to another doctor who told me I had pmdd, with all the body aches, early menopause symptoms, and pelvic pain.
He wanted to put me on Yaz, and then we would talk about antidepressants. The yaz helped me, but It made me so dizzy and nauseous.
I'd read a lot about birthcontrol pills, and I knew that one hormone regimen is not good for all. I am now taking Pregnalone (sp?), it's an herb that helps your body with the vital hormones you need to function. (I can't live with out it right now, my pain comes back when I don't take it) Also, I'm taking lots of minerals, Zinc, Magnesium, Magnease, Selenium, vitamin Bs and E Lots of C.
(Blood work didn't detect my thyroid and adrenal problems, but my hands and feet were cracking).
I searched the internet everyday and night to try and figure this out. I felt like I was dying. That's when I came upon info about amalgam fillings and it all made since. I thought back to when I thought something was wrong at the beginning and realized that's when I had gotten a lot of the mercury put in my mouth.
I made the first step to call a bio-identical dentist. I'd read it wasn't cheap. Some were going to Mexico to get it done. The Dentist I'd called was a little bit more than the Mexican dentist, but not by much, but it wasn't cheap, that's for sure, but were not no more than a few extras on a new car, I thought I deserve this and would save on other things just to afford it, and I wanted to live.
She sent me to a bio-energetic place, where the owner used her bio-energetic testing to see what dental material would be compatible with my body before doing the work on me. She also checked to see how much metal I had in my body. She started at the top with all the metals and non came up except, Mercury. I can't remember exactly how much, but remember her saying 10,000 something, which when the report was printed it converts to 4mm (?) not sure what any of that means. She told me it was a lot, but was kind of careful as to not make a big deal out of it, but did tell me," I needed to get those out".
Anyway, I hope I'm on my way to recovery. I've had 9 of the 10 amalgams removed with the dental dam, chorellas. I go the end of this month to get the last one out. My dentist doesn't do the chelating thing... I don't know if I will do that on my own with a lot of research from the internet. I don't know of a holistic doctor in my area.
I want to communicate with others who have. or are going through this.
I wonder if I will ever get better some days, and others I feel so great.
For two days now I've had bloating that is unbearable. I stopped taking the Chlorellas for a few days and that is when It started (the Chlorellas make me have horrible smelling gas and I couldn't take them while riding in a car with others).
If you've read all the way to here, THANK YOU!
Please, If you have any advice for me, SHARE IT!
Thanks again
