Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well, first of all, congratulations on getting them out. I hope you went to someone who followed the proper protocol and didn't expose you to more mercury. Your fillings could contribute to it, but since you had small ones and only a few, but more than likely if you grew up in the US your exposure was vaccinations. Yes, that mercury is in the body until you chelate it out because we dump some if our bodies are in perfect health, but even the best " processors " have a limit on their exposure before their bodies can no longer excrete and it accumulates in the organs, deep in the cells (it loves the thyroid and adrenal glands) and probably the worst...the brain. If you ever see neurological slides on what it does to your synapses it is not wonder the name " Mad Hatter " was created for what mercury does to people. My first and most detrimental exposure was from vaccinations. I later learned having those combo ones with all the mercury they had in really were toxic. The vaccines were 50% mercury and I had at least 12, some of them were three at once like the DPT. I started to have eye problems, learning disabilities, became shy and other issues. Then I started to get fillings and regressed even more. 9 fillings and big huge ones (which is my ongoing exposure). Destroyed most of the tooth. I started to have a lot of autism symptoms but was labeled just being stupid or shy or whatever. Ended up having to go to a speech therapist too. Once I no longer had vaccinations or fillings, I did slowly get better for a few years and graduated in the top of my class. I also went from shy to pretty outgoing. However, I had adrenal and thyroid symptoms since childhood and they were never addressed and kept getting worse. A few years ago when I crashed, I regressed again into some of my old symptoms. My fillings now are black, which means a good amount of the mercury in them has been released into my body. The more silver the fillings are, the less has been released. Add in environmental exposures (coal plant air, whatever foods, etc.), pesticides, EME, and radiation exposure...and I am thankful my Mother has such great genes I inherited or I would be dead by now. My aunts are in their 70s and 80s and don't even have wrinkles more than your typical 20-year old nowadays. I am 42. I could be their mother, lol. What is the cause of your eye pressure? You might have some better alternatives if you know the precise cause. I had bad eye pressure when I had my worse Hashis attacks. Normally it is more common in Graves but I got the big bulging eyes, pain and pressure with Hashis...unless I was swinging back and forth between Graves and Hashis. I had to sleep for a year with my head elevated and for six months or so sitting up if I recall. I know for 2 years it was really bad and then I started treating other issues and taking adaptogens, detox, etc. and it got better. I still have flare-ups now and then but nothing like before and nothing were my eyes get big and bulging. Apparently it affected the blood vessels and optical nerve. If you know something impacts your liver, a milk thistle, dandelion and artichoke combo will help protect the liver as well process any toxins. I am very good to my liver except for the occasional chocolate binge. That is my one addiction. Cheri -----Original Message----- Cheri, I am curious how you were exposed to mercury poisoning? I had mercury fillings since I was 14yrs old and just had the last one removed in December. I am 43 yrs old now. I had only four small fillings in total, but for some that could still be toxic? I do take a diuretic for eye pressure that can affect my liver, though it has been tested before numerous surgeries and nothing has come up that I am aware of. Debbie .

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 My eye pressure is caused by a inherited retinal disorder. Consequently, I believe taking the diuretic has been to my advantage with the Grave's disease in terms of keeping my eyes from bulding out. I have had eye muscle surgery and it was actually after the surgery 2003, that I was finally diagnosed with Grave's disease. Still, no one put two and two together that the eye muscle problem was due to Grave's until LAST WEEK! I finally convinced my retina specialist is was more than the retina disease! There are alternatives for eye pressure such as eye drops but I did not do well on them when I tried to change last year. I think it is best to tackle one thing at a time...get my thyroid in balance and Grave's in remission first. Then tackle the eye pressure. I believe I have had thyroid and adrenal issues since my teens. I never seem to have the energy everyone else did no matter what. I complained of some of the symptoms to doc's but they just blew me off and didn't take it seriously. I began to think it was normal to never feel really good throughout the day and to yawn frequently. Guess I was wrong! THanks for sharing your story. I willconsider the suggestions for liver function. Were you saying I should try ALL of them or ANY of them? Debbie > > Well, first of all, congratulations on getting them out.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Milk thistle is the most widely used, but if you combine with dandelion and artichoke, it is a lot more powerful because they work synergistically. I use all three. I cannot believe your doctor didn't make the connection with Graves. Sheesh! Cheri -----Original Message----- I believe I have had thyroid and adrenal issues since my teens.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If you get your thyroid levels under control and bring those antibodies down, your eye problems may ease greatly. Mine did, and my Graves Eye Disease is now in remission.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks Cathy, that is what I am hoping for. Although I have a rare retinal disorder, I do not believe (after all my recent research) that all of my vision problems are the result of it. Many things seem to crossover into Grave's disease and adrenal fatigue, thus explaining why it has gotten progressively worse in the past five years. It is unfortunate that doctors have a ONE TRACK mind and can't think beyond their specialty. I will be seeing a specialist for the Grave's opthamology in March...that was the soonest I could get in. In the meantime, I am monitoring my condition closely and trying to get my thyroid levels where they need to be. If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of problems did you encounter with the Grave's in terms of your eyes?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I think so. They were doing it 20 years ago, and are still doing it today quite frequently. It helped point me in the right direction.
