Seizures; suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Hello all.

Can anyone shed some light on what may be going on here?

I made the mistake of hastily having 9 amalgams removed within a week

in 2005 (without full protection). This caused the 'petit mal'

seizures I had been suffering for years to 'upgrade' to Tonic,

Convulsive and latterly, complete blackouts.

They are left-hemisphere, mercury-specific reactions (I believe) and

are triggered by a variety of foods and supplements, especially those

with Selenium and Sulphur.

The worst of the no-warning blackouts have been caused by sublingual

Methyl-B12 (3g), and anything with 'eugenol'.

2 EEG scans came back 'normal', of course! Doctors refer to my

seizures with the prefix 'alleged', and have questioned the true

origin of head/facial injuries! Dismissive stonewalling is a

recurring feature with each one I visit, no surprise.

21 rounds of DMSA down, now up to 25 mg, which does seem to be

progress. Breaks in between can be several weeks however, difficult

to keep to program. Brain fog clears a bit during round, but seizures

do still occur within dreams, waking up to visual / auditory

hallucinations.

Selenium seems to cause the greatest 'confusion' - its like a

constant deja vu, which then intensifies to a partially conscious

seizure, and culminates in a migraine type headache.

Sulphur oriented seizures seem to be a lot more 'complete', and I

feel somewhat better afterward.

Suffice to say this is an extreme summary of events, but I would be

grateful for any advice.

Hello,

I agree with dean. It's does probably come from the brain....

DMSA alone probably won't help you much.

I think we have a long term ALA user here who had blackouts and

seizures and greatly improved with ALA chelation.

Many people report problems with the selenite selenium...

Hi, thanks for the replies.

Although the dentist was not up-to-speed on proper removal protocol,

or fully equipped, she did do galvanic testing and removed

sequentially.

The highest charged filling was also the smallest interestingly, at (I

think) 251 millivolts (!)

The 'electric' stomach pain/tension I had endured for years I felt

literally switch off when that one came out. The right side of my head

felt strangely 'lighter' too, and yes I did consider the possibility

that these seizures were initiated by removal of current, or something

along those lines. But its more than 30 months on.

I think I may have inhaled considerable vapour / particulate, as the

supposedly protective carbon filter mask (3 Micron?)I wore over my

nose was incredibly difficult to breathe through. There were at least

8 occasions I recall where I took a deep, involuntary breath through

my mouth - during drilling...

It will be telling what effect ALA will have but I am incredibly

nervous of trying it, having such dramatic reactions to the very

supplements i am deficient in. The 'plan', if you could call it that,

is to work up to a tolerance of at least 50mg of DMSA for a while

before risking ALA.

Havent done anything specifically about adrenals, though its good to

note that the pre-seizure adrenalin rushes / burn-ups have reduced

considerably over the last few chelation rounds.

Its hard to know what to do for the best. It really does take a lot of

mental energy to keep rationalising the 'crazy' thoughts/confusions

away. " Its just the mercury... "

Keep fighting eh
