I'm New and Scared

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning two months ago. Metals

involved include mercury, cadmium, tin, and formaldehyde. I

recently had 6 exposed amalgams removed. I have nine crowns and in

one week I will begin a four month process of breaking them open,

removing any amalgam remaining, and recrowning the teeth. Quite a

journey!

I hope you might have the time to answer a few questions for me.

Thanking you in advance.

1. What is the necessity of getting amalgam (if any is

actually there) out from underneath a crown? I've heard different

opinions.

2. Very little mention is made in Dr. Cutler's book about

tinnitus. This is a problem for me. The ears ring, feel

pressurized and full, and there are " sounds " , like being in a wind

tunnel or having my ear pressed into a sea shell. Can mercury

poisoning cause this symptom in your opinion? Any actions or

supplements to take that would relieve the symptom?

3. I'm having a hard time getting back to work. Some days are

great; some days are not good at all. What is your experience of

working through this process? (My doctor will not begin chelating

until all amalgam is removed, with the exception of using a detox

dosage of NCD every day. Heavy duty chelation will not be until

September.) Do you know of others who do not /cannot work through

the process?

4. My resources are limited. The dental work alone is

$13,000. Other costs are mounting. Do you know of any

scholarships/grants/funding available for people like me?

5. I am looking for a support group specific to mercury or

heavy metal poisoning. Do you know of any? Where can I find them?

I've found solid emotional support in Dr. Cutler's book alone, and

I'm grateful. Also grateful to have found this group. I am scared

and experienced symptoms that are frightening and debilitating.

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy, yet these are symptoms I've

experienced all my life (I've had amalgam fillings since the age of

8; I'm now 54). I also feel the need to talk to people who can

identify with me and what I'm going through. Most people don't even

believe me, and think I should be back on antidepressants and I

would " be myself " again. Sometimes I agree with them.

HELP!!!

Thank you so much.
