Connection between seizures and amalgam fillings with mercury in them?

Hi:
You can find a Dentist that removes the mercury filled teeth. There is a special way of removing the mercury teeth. Just google Dentist that specializes in removing mercury fillings. There are more Dentist now than 10 years ago. I had so much mercury in my body and I was so sick. It took me years to feel better. I do have side effects from the mercury and that will never go away.

Hi, @joedavid - I'd also like to bring @krissylamb @styers and @danny59 into this conversation, as they have mentioned mercury poisoning. @deliasanderson and @dawn_giacabazi may also have input for you.

@redhead63 - you had your fillings with mercury content removed, then?

@joedavid - what does your neurologist say about a potential connection between the fillings and your seizures?

Had all the mercury fillings remove.The tuff part is getting all the mercury out of your body.I stared having health issues about a year or two after my first fillings but I did not know at the time about the mercury.I kept going to the doctor for dizzy spells,loss of strength,memory lose,depression, color blind,very sensative to smells of perfume,gas,everything,brain burn right side of head,brain fog,the list go's on and on and all the doctors I went to could never find anything wrong.

I was also wondering the same thing, when I read a report about the subject and heard it on the news! I have also experienced many different side effects; which Physicians don't seem able to diagnose; so they just send me to a Therapist and say it's "just Psychological and therefore all in my head!" I don't even know whether I actually have Epilepsy or had a Stroke! I'm tired of being treated as if I don't know my own body! I'm also really tired of being characterized as a "Psychiatric" patient who just wants attention! I just want to be treated appropriately and by an HONEST Physician for the first time in my life, period!

I am looking for a holistic doctor,I found one here in Ohio am doing to get an appointment with him,he does detox for heavy metals hopefully I will see a difference in the way I feel and get off this keppra, very nasty pill.I have been to many doctors including neurologist and none will admit that mercury is a neurotoxin,plus they have no experience with detox.I wish you luck finding a doctor to help.

Hi, @joedavid - please report back about how things go with the holistic doctor and the detox for heavy metals. Do you know anything from what others have told you or what you know of the doctor about what your detox process will be like?

@joedavid I found this detox protocol online that explains a lot, but I haven't done this. I do know you have to be careful detoxing with N acetyl cysteine (NAC) because if you get too much, it causes things to get worse. That causes excessive thirst and can affect the gall bladder and there is often a warning not to use it if you have liver or gall bladder disease or stones, and it may take days to get back to normal because the body has to process all of this and you can't just excrete the extra. It is a precursor to glutathione in the body which is a major pathway for detoxification. I had all my silver dental amalgams removed by a biological dentist who was sucking out the mercury vapors as he drilled because drilling them releases a lot of mercury. I do see an integrative type doctor who is an environmental allergist, and he told me that my silver fillings were causing my Hashimoto's thyroid condition. Prior to the removal of my old fillings, the test on antibody levels against my thyroid could not be read as it was so high that it was off the charts. After removal, they were at the low end of the scale, still there, but much improved, and my thyroid function has improved since. You can also look at companies like Metagenics who create medical food for reducing inflammation and detoxing that has a lot of things in it. Read the ingredient list to get an idea of what helps. Here is the link that I found. I knew about chlorella and cilantro as good for detoxing. You do have to detox slowly because you will be releasing a lot of stuff that was stored away for safe keeping all at once. The body does this with toxins and stores them in tissues to reduce over all exposure. http://customers.hbci.com/~wenonah/new/9steps.htm

Hello Lisa,the doctor does edta-iv for detox but the research I have done says that edta can make you have a seizure so I do not know if he edta pulles the seizure meds out to make you have a seizure.The doctor also does glutathione-iv,his name is dr. Clifford Sonnie from Medina,Ohio you can look his web site up it tells all the things that he does.

Hi Jennifer,I have tried cilantro and chlorella and the day I did I had a seizure late that night.The seizures seen to come in the middle of the night when I am sleeping.I seem to have a reaction to any vitamin pills I take.The doctor called them mini seizures and he could not explain why I have them from taking vitamins.The mini seizure is a weird feeling comes over me and I do not know where I am from a minute or two then I feel drained for a couple hours.I have been dealing with this since 2014 been through many doctors with no help,they will not admit mercury is a neurotoxin.I am going to try a holistc doctor next.They have me on keppra 500mg these pills are sucking the life out of me they really make me feel bad

Can you take epsom salt baths? That will help detox through your skin. If you soak for a half hour, you'll see the ring of stuff that came off. I shower first, so I'm clean, then soak in the bath with just epsom salt, and this happens.

You can look for integrative medicine or environmental medicine doctors. There is a find a physician page on this site. https://www.aaemonline.org/

The doctor that lead important research and treatment for lots of these issues was in Dallas. He wrote many books for doctors on his treatments and they sell these on the website. He recently passed away, but they are an established practice so are probably continuing. This is who my environmental doctor looked to for information. I have not been a patient there. I just know about them. https://www.ehcd.com/
