Mercury toxicity missing link?

http://m.chroniclymedisease.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chroniclymedisease.com%2Fmercury-and-lyme-disease&utm_referrer=#2717

I haven't seen a lot about mercury toxicity on here ...I was tested and do have it ......could this be why it takes some so long to get better

carla - heavy metals are discussed on this forum. Sometimes it can be what's holding us back from healing.
Same as mold toxicity, the mthfr gene, candida...etc.

Those are all issues that need to be addressed if they are 'in the way' of getting well.

imawreck - how are you treating? With a binder?
Or are you removing dental amalgams?

I think you have the right approach and that is trying to figure out why you
got lyme in the first place. Healthy people don't get chronic diseases. Do
what you can to ID the issues and fix them.
Heavy metals
Dental implants-root canals
parasites
diet
Best of luck

Mercury used to treat syphilis successfully last century but mad them mad as hatters. Dr k says take it out of mouth if you feel better then it was metals if you feel worse its lyme .i woulda left mine in spend it on lyme treatment but i didnt know.... unless you have cavatations...

Peteza-we disagree.
Dr Rau was the first guy to tell me this and I could not agree more. he has some great lectures about lyme on youtube. Strangely enough Rau says he always does well with MS.

I'm sure the people you know made good choices-so did I. Diet and exercise way great. Dental-pesticide exposure-parasites from someplace-did me in. plus other possible exposures that could have crossed my path-there are many chemicals we just don't have test for.

I think people use genetics as an excuse way to much-usually there are epigenetic factors that turned on or off a gene. Its not the gene itself-if it was you would be born that way-nobody gets new genes. Most studies show that genes aren't your destiny if you read the entire study. Docs say genetics all the time-that way they don't have to look for causes

Best of luck

From what I understand - esp from reading Dr Amy Yasko's literature - mercury will have a snowball effect on all metals and essential minerals in the body ..

Copper and zinc, and their balance, is essential for good health - and when mercury is present, it will throw both of these essential minerals completely haywire, not to mention other minerals .. it is a synergistic disaster ..

So it is the mercury, but it is also what the mercury does to everything else

Bartonella has been identified in a 4,000 year old skull ... The 5,000 year old "Ice Man" mummy found in the East Alps had lyme ... This stuff has been around a long time ..

( btw, the Ice Man died from a blow to the head )

Using common sense, what happened ?? .. Lyme, autism, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, MS, etc etc have all become household terms starting around the same time - 1980s

This is not simply about bacteria

- genetically modified food
- the use of antibiotics that began in the late 40s and 1950s caught up to the second generation
- cell towers, EMF exposure
- vaccinations
