The most likely culprit seems to keep going back to the Levaquin. The only

medications/things I had were a standard IV, antibiotic by IV, and Lortab pain

pills. During the CATscans I was given iodine by IV, and only once did I have

to drink the barium crap (excuse me!). During the upper GI procedure I had an

IV, and was given Fentanyl and Propofol, to put me out. I was given a second

round of Levaquin after this procedure, and it seems that things went downhill

after that. The two rounds of antibiotics definitely gave me yeast, but it just

seems that there was more going on than just that. It really felt like I had

mercury redistribution after this, and I seem to be ever so slowly improving

after rounds of chelation, the only thing that seems to be helping at all.

Thank god for chelation!---------Jackie

Hi Jackie.

MRI scan's use large magnets and if you have metals on/or in your body these

are contra-indicated. Whenever one of my clients goes for an MRI I tell them to

inform the operator that they have metal crowns or amalgams in their mouth (if

they do), to create awareness and because I'm genuinely worried that some

unknown interaction could hurt them.

Every single time the technicians and doctors dismiss the fact that their

dental metals in mouth despite the contra-indications. When quizzed further they

can never give a reason and just laugh it off.

I have even had clients with brain tumours with nice scans of their heads. On

the scan you have see about 20 fillings, many metal crowns etc. They are lit up

brightly on the scan. When I ask what their neurologist says about the metals in

their mouth - they say either nothing, or he doesn't think it is a problem. That

is despite them being less that an inch away from their brain.

We cannot see what we don't have the will or consciousness to grasp. It is a

pity it causes such devastating consequences to real people, as we know. Unless

you are informed medicine is a very dangerous place. And when you are armed with

information most doctors are too intimidated to work with you.

CT Scans on the other hand use multiple x-rays to take scans and metals are

not contraindicated in this case. But some sources say that this radiation is

accumulative over life and can cause damage. I don't know if some people are

sensitive to x-rays.

I try not to dismiss anything anymore without strong evidence to do so, and I

don't know if they could have affected you?

What about further mercury exposure to any of the medications you had in

hospital?

With MRI scans however metals are directly affected. It would be illogical to

say that dental amalgams or metals are not affected - we just don't know what

the clinical significance is. A small atom of mercury is just as easily affected

as a large amalgam, but again I don't have the knowledge to explain why and wish

there was strong research to tell me more.

It would be interesting for someone to measure the charges of their amalgams

before and after a MRI...although if I had amalgams still in my mouth I'm not

sure I'd like that experiment done on me.
