Connection between seizures and amalgam fillings with mercury in them?

Posted by joedavid @joedavid, Oct 31, 2018

Has anyone felt that their amalgam fillings are the cause of their seizures.I have found many people online that had issues with this amalgam fillings have 50% mercury in them and mercury is a neurotoxin.It is starting to come out that the mercury has caused autism,MS,Parkinsons and many more neurological issues with people.The fda got a class action lawsuit against them and they finally had to reclassify dental amalgam fillings as a toxic substance.I cannot find a doctor to help me detox and get the mercury out of my system.The main thing mercury does is attack the nerves and the brain.Regular blood test will not show anything,there is a pill DMPS you take and it releases the mercury into the blood system and then your urine is tested for 24 hrs..If anyone has any information on mercury poisoning I would love to hear from you.

Hi everybody! I am a newcomer here so let introduce myself with couple of sentences.
I am 50 year old and have been suffering from epilepsy for 37 years (since I was 13 ) .I have changed a lot of medication through this period with different success . Physicians have not managed to discove any particular reason for my condition.
Searching for information in the internet I spotted posts and articles pointing out amalgam fillings as a potential reason causing epileptic seizures due to heavy metal poisoning (mercury).
My question is:
Is there anyone who has an experience with this issue? Does anyone get rid of her/his illness by removing her/his fillings and home many these fillings were?
Thank you in advance for answers!
