Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Jules I have some of these same symptoms, teeth burning that have the amalgam fillings, occasiocal tinny taste in mouth and burning and occasional fuel/chemical smells that i can almost taste So i would suggest A) getting Andy's book trying to do some of the basic tests to dtermine your overall health (Adrenal's seems to be the one that most on this forum suggest and in AI that Andy recommends as it seems people with mercury have messed up adrenals). Thyroid is another. There are sone home self tests (temp meassurement for instance that I believe are in the Files/or Links section of this forum page..see upper left section of this page) C) Start with other supplements that the AI book recommends, tailoried of course to your symptoms: ie zinc, fish oil, flax oil viatmin e D) I have found the niacinamide, selenomethionine and grapefruit juice (per Andy's book) has helped my chemical sensitivities immensely. E) consider food eliminations tests to see if you improve (ie sulphur seems to be a problem for many people, as well as processed foods) F) making a plan with a safe dentist to get those fillings out G) avoid cilantro/chorella/ and whatever else you may be using to chelate right now until you get the book . Also the more serious chelators that AI recommends (ie dpms/dmsa/ala) should only be used after amalagam removal H) be judicious with your NP, don't let them get too offtrack with treatments that do not fit the AI protocol and or run his/her treatments by some of the more knowledgeable people on this forum (i am a newbie) Good luck, I also have these weird smells/odors that flare up at times but > these go back to late June or early July I believe if not earlier as they were definitely there before the teeth issues. > > It was these teeth pains, together with having read that one of these supplements can cause mercury to move that caused me to start thinking mercury poisoning. > I am very aware of chelation problems having read a lot on these > groups.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 It's quite possible that thermometers were broken in the fridge that you cleaned up. A fridge is a likely place to use a thermometer. It's quite possible that the supplements that you have taken in the past and now have affected your hair test results. There are enough indicators on your test to suggest mercury poisoning. That would mean the next steps are proper removal of amalgams, reading Andy's two books and the files and links sections here. If you want to, post the list of supplements you are taking now. It is quite possible that some thing you are taking is making you sicker. You will need Andy's " Amalgam Illness " book to help with your supplement list. Diet interventions can do much to relieve symptoms. There is a file in the files section here to read - " Diet - how to pick the right one for you kid. " Good luck J > > I do have amalgams. I don't know about lead exposure.
