Hi, My mother was “diagnosed” with having mercury in her system as an
underlying cause to her health problems. This was through a
naturapath. I think alot about your situation depends on who did the
diagnosing and what their treatment was. My mom had 'cleansing"
treatments and had every filling (a lot of them!) replaced as part of
this treatment. She passed away anyway, I don’t think mercury had
anything to do with her situation.
On the other hand I live in Chicagoland where there were a fair
number of mercury poisonings due to a big scandal with nicor and
defective water meters removed from homes improperly. I very clearly
remember an acquaintance of mine who had two neighbors with the
problem. They were moved out of their home…given a special diet and
their home was cleaned by haz-mat teams. I know 6 months later they
were given a good prognosis and this was all through traditional
medicine. There may also have been chelation therapy involved, my
mother underwent that as a part of removing excess iron from her
blood stream for another problem. That is a fairly involved procedure
that is not as simple as some people believe, but it was effective.
Hope that wasn’t too anecdotal…I would probably get a couple of
opinions from experts. My mom was using Loyola, a very well know
teaching hospital in Chicago and there were still some questions
about appropriate treatment.
Best of Luck,
Karen
