Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I'm wondering if there are others who received excessive amounts of antibiotics in combination with ongoing amalgam exposure. In HS, I was put on daily tetracycline for acne. This lasted almost three years, until my immune system completely went out. I missed most of the second half of my senior year with mono, strep, yeast infections, etc., not to mention impossible plantar warts, etc., and during college years often told my mother I felt like I'd never really gotten over mono. There were frequent ear & throat infections while unchecked tooth absesses festered. Although I have managed my immune system fairly well in the past 4-5 years, thanks to alternative & integrative medicine, it's a very high maintenance situation. Regular infections that quickly become severe were 'normal' for me since HS, which meant taking other antibiotics on and off without knowledge of probiotics, and it eventually became a chronic fatigue situation. I developed many food allergies & chemical sensitivities prior to learning about my amalgam toxicity. Like most, I have to protect myself from candida overgrowth, but I think I'm prone to bouts of other digestive infections, too. If that's the case, it's definitely giving me some complications with chelation. If anyone has had similar experiences & can offer some helps, I'd greatly appreciate it! What's especially hard is that my energy level has steadily been increasing, so I've been very active and involved in things, making it also harder to live on such a cautious diet.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 This is typical. I think we can all say we have had chronic immune issues or mercury related problems that were treated with antibiotics. Which further irritates the problem. I noticed that my acne went away when they took all my fillings out. Keep up with the yeast killing protocol, maybe read " The Yeast Connection " book for further ideas to manage it. Work on immune support with chelation. Also, endocrine system support. Mercury will leave you with tired adrenals, slow thyroid and estrogen dominance (this feeds the yeast too). Chronic Cadidasis can create allergies, by causing a condition called leaky gut. Once this condition is improved or healed, you should see some improvement in the allergies. Healing the gut requires lots of probiotics, antiyeast, anti whatever else you might have(bacterias etc), usually digestive enzymes. I also found it best to avoid milk of any kind. Some people need to use a gluten free or casein free or both type of diet. It varies by person. > > I'm wondering if there are others who received excessive amounts of > antibiotics in combination with ongoing amalgam exposure. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
