Mercury Toxicity (CFS/ME)

Many years ago l started with severe allergic rhinitus following moving house from a hillside village to suburbs on side of main road, also developed allergic reaction to penicillian at same time, later came interstitial cystitus symptoms for 12yrs without a diagnosis, l,d frequent thrush along with it, and other allergy immune probs. l started to read about causes remedies, learnt about being born with t cells passed on, and b cells, and have different levels of immunity to things that are toxic to our bodies. when l moved back up the hillisde my symptoms improved but years later returned generally. For me many of the things l,m allergic to have formalin in them, diesel fumes being the worst or most common, but in many other household items also and known to have levels of toxins, near impossible to avoid completely, l,m sure there are many chemicals that are toxic and affecting most people in different degree,s, much tougher if your an allergic person or with poorer immune system. There are very good air purifiers that remove some of the toxins and chemicals in the air, and vits and minerals to boost immunity, but where possible removing toxins preferable.  

Great article Joy :-) xx

I agree there was a lot of evidence a few years ago regarding murcury amalgum fillings.

Even dental workers r not protected until reciently wearing a mask for protection.

Despite the claims that amalgam fillings are safe by the FDA,   I have read that some consumers are choosing to have theirs removed or are seeking alternatives for new fillings.

I guess when deciding on a material for a filling, factors include where the filling is placed, and budget should not be the defining factor .

Alternatives include composite fillings.  Composite fillings as my dentist of 22 yrs. explained they use resins & are a combination of glass or quartz filler and resin. They are durable and generally have a moderate cost. Also some are made from acrylic acids and fine glass powders. They aren't as durable as composite fillings and amalgams.

I have no murcury fillings. So at least that's one less thing I have to be concerned with at this point, my bones r enough or err THR... OA, PSA. RA.. THINGS like auto immune diseases.. Bummer!  Ah one day at a time.

speaking of days there getting shorter. Hope u have a good  evening.

Over many years of undiagnosed intersticial cystitus and other related allergy probs l read quite a lot about immune system and how it works, very complex, and tried quite a lot of supplaments, diets, re yeast free, less sugar, with varying results.  With ic diagnosis and conventional meds for that some symptoms did improve, but general immune allergy probs remained, seems most who have one allergy or immune prob are likely to have others, envoiramental allergens have increased affecting some more than others, but generally less energy stamina.

Energy is a great buzz you take for granted till it decreases which is a big downer.

Will check out the grape seed extract, will try whatever it takes to energise a bit more, thanks for info.

 

Just looked in emails and got item below from a friend with health probs, l realise there are many supplaments suggested for cfs, but its worth a read and thought

Magnesium is involved in hundreds of metabolic processes, which accounts in part for the wide range of deficiency symptoms. Magnesium deficiency has also been linked to some conditions that have mysteriously shown up in recent years, such as:

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) confounds the medical community. It tends to follow a viral infection, and involves aching joints and muscles, fever, depression, and extreme fatigue.

In a clinical trial involving 32 participants, 15 were given magnesium injections and 17 were given a placebo. “Patients treated with magnesium claimed to have improved energy levels, better emotional state, and less pain,” 6 the study reports.

Fibromyalgia is a painful inflammatory condition that also baffles the Medical Establishment. It causes tenderness in joints, muscles, and other soft tissues, and it can also contribute to depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. (It’s interesting to consider that those conditions are also associated with magnesium deficiency.)

When 24 people with fibromyalgia were given a supplement containing malic acid and magnesium, “…significant reductions in the severity of all 3 primary pain/tenderness measures were obtained without limiting risks.” 4

Another study published in the Journal of Nutritional Medicine showed similar results – study participants experienced pain relief just 48 hours after taking a malic acid/magnesium supplement. After 4 to 8 weeks, tenderness was greatly reduced. 5
