I was very ill and dying in hospital from what was eventually diagnosed as Crohn's disease. I was released from the hospital when I was allowed to have high doses of probiotics that got my bowels working again.
After searching for a cure over many years, I found an orthomolecular practitioner who did some hair analyses. She found that my bowel was saturated with mercury, likely from my amalgam dental fillings.
I went on a strict mercury detox including lots of lemon water (quarters of 1 lemon in a large bottle of Evian water daily) and a special diet. I also had my amalgam fillings replaced by resin fillings.
I eventually rid my body of the mercury and was totally cured of Crohn's disease. This was 20 years ago. Since then and today, my bowels are perfect.
Chlorella
Posted by Birdie (Calgary, Alberta) on 02/09/2012
I didn't have any benefit with chlorella for my mercury (dental) poisoning. I got my old "silver" mercury fillings out and replaced with white composite, in 3 sessions. Two hours after the first session, I suddenly felt a great "lift" in how I felt. More benefits followed after getting the rest of the teeth done. Then I used Olive Leaf Extract Capsules, worked well to displace the candida which usually accompanies mercury.
Then I tried a full fledged heavy metal detox, powdered Zeolite (cliniptilolite) from _____ brand. I could feel the difference within a couple of hours, I put a heaping tbsp in juice twice a day. I felt better and better, my nerves calmed down nicely, my personality (aspergers) got a whole lot more congenial, I don't get as upset about stuff anymore, I am physically not oversensitive anymore. I don't wake up feeling like I want to leave planet earth ASAP anymore.
I am convinced that a lot of anxiety and depression in people is nothing more than heavy metal poisoning, found in vaccinations and fish, and sprayed as a fungicide on fields of grain. So as long as "they" are injecting it into you, feeding it to you, etc., "they" continue to line their wallets later on when your nerves are so frayed you run to your Dr.and get anxiety medication or antidepressants. Great way to keep their profits flowing, eh?? Even if you dont have mercury fillings; if you were born to a mother who had a mouthful of "metal" fillings, you are very likely to absorb her mercury in utero before you were born, hence the "runs in the family" syndrome, so you still have an overload of mercury. Aspergers is also called super male brain, ie strong choleric personality, very stunting socially....

Hi Donna, vaccines contain mercury which is probably why they don't test for it. I think all kids (and adults) need to have their bodies detoxed after they have vaccines. If you look at a mineral interaction chart, iodine will displace mercury. You need to buy some lugols iodine. You can find it online. With iodine you need to supplement with magnesium, vitamin c (sodium ascorbate) and selenium (1 brazil nut should be enough per day for selenium).
Iodine will also displace bromide from the body (bromide is in all the breads these days).
You may want her to go to a naturopath or even a biomedical Doctor. There are some in Queensland that you can google. There are other things you can do to detox her body. Epson salt baths (magnesium sulphate) a few times a week will help to detox and also to raise her magnesium level. Magnesium also has a very calming effect on the body so it will relax her.
Keep her away from processed foods as much as you can because they contain MSG and aspartame which kill brain cells among other things (google excitotoxins). MSG is in all processed foods.
Google GAPS diet (some great youtube videos) and also google GFCF on youtube. A lot of people have reported that taking kids off dairy and gluten have given them their children back. Spend some time on youtube and you will be amazed at the stories from people there.

Hi, I've been looking into mercury detox and researching it lately. It seems the usual means of detox listed in EC just stirs it up and it resettles in the brain. The premier researcher on this is Dr. Christopher Shade PHD. He says that there is 3 phases of detox. If everything is working right then the liver filters it out and puts it into the intestines but it just gets reabsorbed. There are products that you can take that will mop it up in the intestines so you will eliminate it from your body and that is the final phase. It is best to have a dentist that knows this procedure or a Naturopath that can guide you along and test you. You can go to his website to find the nearest dentist or Naturopath to go to. You can find his lectures on YouTube just do a search there of Chris Shade and you can find many video lectures.
EDTA, chlorella, cilantro and other things just stir it up in the body so you need to know the other 2 phases of the detox. Anybody that does work in a lab knows how sticky mercury is and the trouble it takes to get it off the lab equipment. About 12% of the population has a problem of the natural process of removing mercury from the system. You also need to know how to get it out of the brain. Be careful with this as is can lead to many more problems. If you have candida you will have biofilms that the yeast and bacteria has collected up and stored to protect itself. Good products like Nattokinase can break up biofilms but will release mercury so it can be reabsorbed into the body where it can re harm you. So you need to study how to do this or get help.

2 weeks ago, I had a mercury filling removed and replaced. The very next day, I noticed that I had left arm pain (the muscles, not the joints) and the left armpit stunk to high heaven. I immediately started charcoal and chlorella and epsom salts baths for detox. It's now at the 2 week mark and I still have the pain and stinky pit. What else can I do? I assume the stink is detox?

Bob: did you really just say that the leakage is slow so it will not cause any symptoms? That's a bunch of crap. Especially if the fillings are going bad which will cause them to leak even more. Mercury poisoning from fillings can cause a wide range of symptoms, many of which affect the CNS like she is describing. I would suggest finding a biological dentist who follows the IAOMT protocol and getting them removed safely. And then start detoxing after. I get mine removed in 5 days and plan to detox with zeolite among a few other natural remedies. If that doesn't work, I will give Andy cutlers protocol a shot. But please stop spreading misinformation. Just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean she won't. Please do more research.

Please Google Dr. Chris Shade on Mercury Detox. His information is essential for all who wish to detox heavy metals. His bottom line: chelation alone, with chlorella, DMSA, DMPS or whatever is useless, even harmful, unless the elimination pathways are opened via right use of cruciferous (sulfate conjugation) vegetables. Otherwise, one just recirculates the metals, causing more problems. His insights are a revelation.

I went to a bad dentist over 20 years ago and after a really few great dentists looked at my teeth, they all said that the first dentist gave me fillings because my molars are deep but it was unessesary and I did not have any cavities. I have not had any cavities ever since.
I wanted to make the mercury filligns fall out naturally and then remineralize my teeth naturally. I did chip my front tooth and my really good dentist muscle tested me and put on a compatible and flouride free composit on that tooth, which I do not want to fall out.
Is there anything that I can do to make the mercury fall out?

If you're having problems with mercury fillings, you may have a methylation cycle block which can be unblocked. Start researching it. I started at a site called B12 methylation FAQ How I recovered by Eric.
I ordered the two kinds of methyl B12's and methyl folate (metafolin). 45% of the population genetically have a problem of utilizing regular B12 and folic acid and need a more available form (the methyl form). I've been on it for a couple weeks and already my body temperature has increased by one and a half degrees to normal! Hasn't been normal in years.
If one has any reaction on these, it is highly likely one has the block. I reacted strongly at first and needed to titrate very slowly.
Very briefly, methylation has to do with detox. If one's glutathione levels are low then they can no longer protect the fragile B12's from toxins, infections, stress. Oddly, at first, this can Not be corrected by increasing one's glutathione and doing so can actually make things worse (has to do with the sulfur cycle).
Families with chronic fatigue, FM, MC, crohn's, alzheimers are suspect. Also autism.

Hello Jcee; concerning getting rid of your mercury fillings... Unless the situation requires immediate removal... The way I got rid of mine was every time over eight or ten years I had dental work done and the filling needed "patching" I requested the Dentist replace the whole filling with a non mercury filling. And requested that he use a "dam" to contain the remnants of the filling to keep it out of my system. After six or so such filling replacements all the mercury was out of my mouth. I recall one MD (Mercola I believe) talked of having all his mercury replaced and it was not done by one who was experienced in such replacements resulting in too much mercury being released into his system.
The slow method that I outlined didn't let too much mercury into me so as I would occasionally detox my own system from the little released over time and thus it never accumulated. Nor was there a big release of mercury at any one time from a multiple filling removal.

My holistic dentist extracted both root canal and removed all five mercury fillings. Some people may choose to this all at once, some may not. The next step is the urinalysis, pre-provoked test and the post check it will check level of merury in the urine. The new mercury test is called Mineral Derangement test a method of hair analysis that compares toxic metal levels to one's mineral levels this test apparently gives a very accurate reading. Blood tests are not recommended according to my MD he is specialist in this area I had the Clifford test which determines what metals chemicals you are allergic too, The cost for all tests, chelation and out of pocket for all dental work was $16,000, fair considering the work. Replaced everything with ceramic porcelain even the screws are porcelain NO metal at all! I'm drinking fresh cilantro juice and chorella to help detox.

Melody ... I have plenty of fillings too. Any leakage is so slow it shouldn't give anyone noticeable symptoms. You shouldn't have fillings removed because that would release a lot of mercury in the drilling. What you describe must be something else. But to get rid of mercury, and other metals, take the chelator EDTA. Take it with cilantro which is said to release mercury in the brain. It worked for me. I had an actual mercury poisoning.

Hello I have had mercury poisoning or should I say discover that I have mercury poisoning a few months now. I tried chlorella for the first 3 months, did major research but chlorella disbursal to help. My symptoms seemed like they got worse. Facial and body hair is falling out. Hands and feet are tingling. I have a metal taste in my mouth, increased in saliva, and my teeth seem to have changed it's texture also. There more sensitive, I read and have done major research and some sources say that I can even cause teeth to fall out. So now im taking HMD which stands for heavy metal detox. Ive only been taking it for 5 days. I've done research on it and Im concerned about my health, but
Not really worried because I've been in prayer. What can cause teeth to fallout from mercury and is there any thing I can do to prevent this from happening. I definitely need my teeth I'm only 24 years old. The mercury as also caused my blood pressure to rise as well. Thanks for your help

My 2 cents would be to start the detox with a colon cleanse before anything! To avoid die offs and healing crises...it made a huge difference for me. I used to have very high mercury levels (big fish eater) with candida and I had really scary memory and coordination issues...Zeolite was one option that was recommended by the candida experts group, although they explained that it had to be combined with other herbs in order to support the entire heavy metal removal cycle. After about 2-3 weeks into the process, I started to feel much better. My tests after 4 weeks showed my mercury levels were dropping. It took me about 4 additional months to get them to the normal range, but at least I was feeling great so I didn't mind to keep doing the cleanse

Kjasmooth, I just read a newsletter from Jon Baron Baseline Of Health promoting a metal detox of specially formulated Cilantro & Chlorella to be very effective metal removal; at any rate it seems quite important to use Cilantro
in combination with Chlorella.
Replacing needed minerals is almost always the case during metal detox, so consider detox one week and mineral supplementation the next (rotation). You also need to boost your Glutathione (NAC Vit-C is a good G booster) as well as all other antioxidants. Calcium D for the teeth although the Vit-C alone often can stabilize the teeth.
Lots of purified water and maybe some Marshmallow Root for Kidney support.
Hope this helps, report changes.

I heard people who did the Gerson diet had them fall out but I was hoping not to go that extreme, colonics, etc and I am a meat eater. I have not had any major problems from the fillings, I just don't want mercury in my mouth.
Also, other than the fact that they are mercury (which is crazy to use), I don't think they are defective, so I hope oil pulling will still work. For this particular thing what would be the best oil to use?

Could anyone help me with identifying whether amalgam lodged in my upper jawbone is causing eruptions on my cheek.
I had botched root fillings 15 yrs ago and later found out the amalgam (yes people, he used amalgam as a root filler! ) had been forced through the root into the jawbone. 5 years later another hopeless "dentist" attempted to remove the amalgam from two locations; first above the root of upper left 5 and the second lump around upper left 6. Result: upper left 6 removed wilth huge abscess attached and huge hole drilled above upper left 5 but he missed the amalgam and it is still in there. However, I have a huge gaping hole and masses of bone loss.
I have been on H202 for various reasons and suddenly, lesions appeared on the cheek right above where the amalgam would be. They are not infected but are inflamed. SO unsightly and florid and livid. I thought perhaps they may be a reaction to H202 on the mercury? I tried working out the chemistry but my brain can't do it as I only got O level chemistry many years ago! I don't know if I should leave off the H202 and stop all de-toxing so as not to disturb the amalgam. There is no way I can have more invasive surgery; there is no bone left there to excavate, although I'm sure I could find another sadist dentist to make more mischief there. Nothing applied topically helps the lesions; they just run their course and have got worse as my dose of H202 has increased (up to 10 drops twice a day - but stopping that and inhaling through the mouth 3% 3 times a day).
Many thanks, bcbg75

Please read a book by Dr. Jerry Tenant (he is one of the founders of laser surgery for the eye). The book is called Healing Is Voltage. He states that any dead cells in the body cause infections. A tooth with a root canal is a dead tooth-it will cause infection. Therefore he states its better to remove the tooth than have a root canal.

Sorry I should of mentioned, we choose to pay out of pocket for dental, so that we can have concierge type of medical insurance.
Just call your holistic dentist office, tell them what you would like to do and they will call your insurance carrier and they will find out the yearly allowance for root canals extractions and the allowance for replacing heavy metal filling and resin composite fillings. Some people will do this over a couple years to save money. I did it in one sweep.
All heavy metal are detrimental to health, even what looks like a white crowns may have aluminuim, nickel, mercury, silver and even the gold ones are mixed metals they are rarely 100% gold. My dentist says. " one of the most deadly combination is nickle crown over mercury. " The condition of your gums underneath the crown tells all.
Have the dentist office give you a breakdown of fillings and crowns chemical composition. I did and I know for a fact that the porcelain I paid for is 99.99% porcelain. You do not want porcelain mixed with any metal at all.
Our holistic dentist does root canal extractions and implants he also uses ozone. If you can find a dentist that injects ozone at the site of root canal extractions and infected sites . Ozone is amazing it kills any and all types of infections. You cannot have ozone injections if you have mercury in your mouth, mercury cancels out the effects of ozone. Think this process before your begin.
According to an expert in chelation. You cannot have chelation if your health is comprimised in any way, it will cause a devastating effect to your health. The reasons are too many reasons to list here. There are many natural chelators, cilantro juice, choleralla, NAC, and alpha lipoic acid, after some research it seems many authorities are in disagreement about if these are the safest methods.

I read your article on Aspergers/ Autism and mercury poisoning. I live in Australia and am concerned about my 3 yr old granddaughter. She has always been a very hyper child since young, but she was always happy and listened and very good. Since October, 2011, something happened, and she has had terrible behaviour problems, anger & rage, defiant and disobedient, nightmares, crying for nothing, screaming, temper tantrums, things like that.
My daughter took her to the doctor, and she said this is not a normal behaviour for a 3 year old, as a lot of 3 yr olds go through this, but my granddaughter is acting differently than just your normal temper tantrums. My daughter took her little one to see a child psychologist, and he wasn't too concerned at all, and told my daughter that the little one needed more sleep.
However, after reading your article, I am wondering WHERE can a person go to get a toddler tested for Mercury Poisoning? My daughter went to the local GP to get a test, but the doctor told my daughter that they do not do testing for mercury in children. So WHERE AND WHO can we contact to get this poor child tested? I am suspecting something is really wrong with this child and need to help her. Do we need to go to a naturopath/homeopath? I heard of a UPPS, something like that, a urine test to show levels of mercury. Is there no blood test? Hair analysis? What do we do?

NONE et all. After that have lots of vitamin c liposomal is good as body absorbs abt 99% of it. After that try dmsa. But just 4 mg every 4 hours for 3 days in continuation. If you have any side effects like rashes, constipation... Discontinue and reduce dosage. else wait for 10 days and start again with less dose of it .
