My Story So Far

Hello all

Im 29 F from Scotland who has had a progressive decline in health [physically and mentally] over the last 15 years.

My discovery online of the Mercury Amalgam Issue last year was nothing short of a revelation.

Having 9 'silver' fillings, I began reading intensely about the subject.. on here, and many other personal sites [Lyn Rennick, Pam Clayton etc] as well as the more scientific based literature.

It was like the picture of my life had become horribly clear.

From age 16 onwards, I have had a number of chronic 'mystery' health complaints that were never resolved [and in some cases made worse!] by various doctors' 'diagnoses' and prescribed treatments / suggestions.

Symptoms like IBS [a crippling stomach pain, as though being electrocuted], Chronic Fatigue, Petit Mal Seizures, Skin Disturbances / Allergies, Nail Ridges, Migraines, Impaired Concentration, Anxiety + Depression etc etc seemed to manifest [in hindsight] around the time of dental filling placements.

Treatments like antacids [for this presumed 'ulcer'!], being advised not to eat cheese or chocolate [!], advised to wear nail varnish [!] and 'talking therapy' did little to help.

Thanks to the above sites, I was able to locate a holistic dentist 150 miles from where I live, and had those 9 fillings removed after a 2 month vitamin course [advised to boost the immune system].

I know there are plenty of variables in what is perceived the best removal protocol. I was given a carbon filter mask and goggles to wear, and there was a water spray / suction device utilised.
The entire replacement was done on 2 days a week apart, possibly too much in one go, I know. All fillings were tested for electrical charge, and thus sequentially removed. [They were all highly charged]. My dentist informed me that the fillings just 'crumbled away' during drilling - meaning that much of the mercury had already escaped over time. It was a frankly hideous experience; nearly 3 hours in the chair each day, but was done with professionalism and care.

Since then however, developments good and bad.

That 'electric' stomach pain problem has DISAPPEARED. [Could that have been due to the 'battery effect', now removed?] Who cares, its gone! LOL

Other symptoms remain, pretty much the same as ever.

But one very worrying development is that I now get a new type of SEIZURE [tonic/partial?] where I am NOT fully conscious [as I am with the Petit Mal]

Usually occurring at night a few hours after falling asleep, I wake up with rushes of adrenalin for no apparent reason.
I feel an immense 'pressure' building in my head, behind my eyes and down the jawline.
Then I am 'drawn' into some kind of state where my whole body is paralysed, breathing is extremely difficult, I have hallucinations, and am bombarded by a flurry of memories/emotions in what I believe is a relatively short space of time [a few minutes maybe].
Afterwards, there is a definite reduction in pressure, a feeling of relief, as though it needed to happen, and the hallucinations fade over a few minutes as I regain full consciousness and sensation in my limbs again. This often repeats several times in the night.

I havent read of anyone experiencing this particular problem after Amalgam Removal.

A theory I had was this was being caused by the Coriander/Cilantro leaves I had started eating 3 months after Replacement, but this Seizure continues to occur despite the fact I am now taking NO chelating supplements/vitamins.

Despite my serious concerns, the 7 doctors I have seen know nothing about mercury [or this issue] and will not refer me for further investigation [EEG scan for example]. Apparently, i just have "ANXIETY"!

Well who wouldn't?.

It is as empowering as it is terrifying as it is ironic, to know more about this subject and its effects than your own doctor[s] but I have been suffering TOO long, and so now regaining my health lies in my continued internet research and sharing this experience with others.
