I currently see 3 LLMD's and they all treat heavy metal toxicity. 2 of them are MD's and one is a Naturopath. I'm not covered for the ND (I only get $500 a year). When I see the MD's I'm covered 50% for office visits and testing. Supplements come out of my pocket....I'm not sure about my IV's yet. I would totally pass on the liver. GROSS... -

Andrea, These are the symptoms I've had over the past 5 years... short- and long-term memory loss; poor concentration; intellectual decline; irritability; fits of anger; depression; anxiety or nervousness; shyness or timidity; loss of self-confidence; drowsiness; excessive salivation; halitosis or foul breath; metallic taste in the mouth; burning... -

I'm pretty stressed out about it. I wasnt supplementing the minerals very much....plus I didnt have the Vit. C with my my IV. Those things (especially the minerals) can really help the body to let go of the metals. If I dont have a good supply of minerals the results will be lower because the body does better with toxic metals than with nothing at all... -

Andrea....did you forget whether or not you have memory loss?? OMG....only 3 more "pink" days left!! I gotta figure out a way to still feel bright and cheery without having pink. Can you believe this is coming from the girl who wanted NOTHING to do with pink....EVER! Now I'm in mourning for it. -

A note about candida... This is very true but I think theres still some room for treatment during the process of detoxing mercury. As long as its not too aggresive. -

Testing Mercury and other toxic heavy metals are primarily measured in hair, blood cells and urine samples. Simply put, hair analysis is a useful screening tool but does not provide information about the actual amount of mercury in the body. Red blood cell analysis gives somewhat more information about tissue levels, but misses mercury bound in brain... -

Safe removal of amalgams.. Deamalgamation, i.e., the careful and judicious removal of dental mercury-silver amalgams by a specially-trained, dental physician and their replacement with hypoallergenic, non-metallic, composite, dental fillings, is, therefore, the single, most important step that an individual possessing mercury amalgams may take. ... -

More sources of exposure... Another potential source of mercury toxicity is that found in certain medications, including allopathic, conventional drugs, i.e., mercurochrome and vaccinations containing thimerosal (sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate) as a preservative, etc., as well as some contaminated and/or adulterated, traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic... -

The ADA Most, revealing of the ADA's current attitude toward the public welfare regarding amalgams is a legal brief filed with the court by attorneys for the ADA in a recent California civil lawsuit. In this legal case, the plaintiff claiming that he sustained injuries stemming from exposure to mercury dental amalgams, named as defendants his treating... -

Dental Amalgam Proven to be a Major Source of Mercury Toxicity Dental amalgam is comprised of approximately 46% to 56% elemental mercury with varying amounts of silver, copper, zinc, tin and other trace metals depending on the manufacturing source. A large dental amalgam may contain more than 750 mg of elemental mercury. After placement of a mercury... -

Symptoms The real danger arises from exposure to mercury vapor. Metallic mercury vapor crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it accumulates in the central nervous system (CNS), and damages brain cells, particularly sensory and motor neurons. Elemental mercury vapor exposure may result in the following symptoms: short- and long-term memory loss... -

Toxic Damage May Occur Before Symptoms Become Obvious According to Dr. Michael Ziff and his research associates, a widely respected dental authority on mercury toxicity, "...mercury is so toxic to the human organism that there can be cell death or irreversible chemical damage long before clinically observable symptoms appear indicating that something... -

Amalgams Studies have demonstrated that the removal of dental mercury amalgam fillings can result in definitive and significant improvements in overall health status. The Foundation for Toxic-Free Dentistry compiled data on 1,569 patients from six different sources. Of particular interest in the FTFD analysis report is the fact that 14% of patients... -

I'm reading a good article on mercury toxicity...I'll post some of the stuff here. How to limit exposure: Environmental and Dietary Precautions Firstly, it is prudent to remove the sources of mercury contamination, if possible. Limiting, or avoiding altogether, certain high risk foods, e.g., shellfish, coastal and inland freshwater fish and... -

Kassandra, Yup...I have problems with legumes...ALL of them. I've pretty much avoided them for a couple years now. I tried soymilk again earlier this year and I got massive headaches. Soy, peanuts and every bean out there are problems. It seems like soy is the only one to give me the major headaches and eye pain though. Peanuts are a double whammy for... -

I suppose I could ask my boss to make more salsa!! For whatever reason I had no problems with it....or the mission tortilla chips. I wonder if the organic tortilla chips are alot more moldy??

Mia.. It kind of changed over time. First there was the beef, peas, applesauce, popcorn and of course ICE CREAM by the truckloads. I had alot of brainfog and was more sensitive to dust, molds and chemicals. That was when my yeast antibodies were through the roof. Then I switched the popcorn for potatoes....not much better eh. Anyways... -
ARCHIVED Biopsy Or Enterolab?
Rachel--24 replied to jessiU's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, Personally, I would skip Enterolab testing...unless you're interested in the gene tesing to see if you have a genetic predisposition for Celiac. Otherwise Enterolab cannot diagnose Celiac Disease....the stool test will only tell you that you're sensitive to gluten which you've already been able to determine with a positive response to the diet... -

Yeah...maybe you can ask them to do things seperately...that way you might figure out if one thing is messing you up. It seems like you're usually feeling bad after your IV's?? I didnt feel bad at all from my DMPS push... but the last IV definately caused a reaction. My DMPS dose was the smallest dose they can do. It might also be that you're getting too...
