Re: Losing weight - my experience

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I lost 10-15% of my body weight (I am naturally rather

thin) twice, both times within a couple months of

unprotected amalgam removals. In both cases I had a

gall bladder full of fatty stones, so many that my

bile flow was completely blocked. Since I have never

developed stones before or since these two removals, I

am convinced they were caused by mercury exposure. I

also had a terrible appetite - my wife noticed that

pretty quickly, and a lot of people could tell I was

wasting away.

Without bile you cannot digest fats, so you metabolize

your body's stored fat and loose weight. There are

lots of other possible causes for weight loss, but IF

stones were your problem then it would be imperative

to get them dealt with as quickly as possible. Pale

stools, easy bruising, diarrhea, bloating attacks,

discomfort in the upper left quadrant are suggestive

of stones but not always present.

Liver cleanses are not considered a good idea on this

board but they saved my life, and I know that a lot of

mercury sick people have had stones and liver problems

that became serious and required interventions which

were probably worse than a liver cleanse or two.

Good luck,

Dave

Hi Dave,

How did you determine that your gall bladder was full of fatty stones

(eg. did you have tests done)? What causes fatty stones to develop

in the first place?

I've lost 5 lb.s in the last 3 weeks, which may not sound like a

whole lot, but 1) I'm slim to begin with, so a loss of 5 lb.s is

noticeable, and 2) my weight has always been *very* constant my

whole life. I know something's up... I believe it's due to the

excess Candida and bad bacteria I have right now (post-antibiotic

use), coupled with the mercury of course. I believe they're

affecting my GI somehow so that I'm losing weight (eg. b/c of

malabsorption, or leaky gut, or some such), but not sure..

Also, what does doing a liver cleanse involve?

Thanks,

Suzanne
