The List

Last night I ran across the complete list of symptoms that have been helped by mercury removal. Now notice I said "have been helped"...not always is mercury the culprit. But if you're having any of these issues and you have amalgam (silver) fillings, it could certainly be a problem. Don't just run out and have the fillings removed before doing some research, though. It's important to find a dentist who will know how to remove them properly with the right equipment. It's also important to have a doctor who understands the dangers of mercury in the body and who will support what you will be doing. My naturopath doctor is quite intelligent and a good man, and has been helping me through this craziness from the beginning of my illness, but we've still struggled along the way because at first he wasn't sure what was going on with me. Anyway, here's the list. It's quite extensive. As I was looking through it last night I realized that I have more "new" symptoms that were replaced with the ones that have gone away. They are in no particular order:

Now remember I said that some of these conditions have been helped by mercury removal. I am not saying that mercury is the end-all answer for these symptoms, just that many people have felt relief when the mercury was removed from their bodies. Huggins states that 90% of the population is sensitive to mercury. The United States happens to be the only country that has not banned its use in dental fillings. Hmmm....I wonder why it seems the U.S. is running into the most "new" health problems and there are constant concerns that our schools are not turning out enough smart kids? I'll leave you with that thought.
