My Story
Updated  6-2008
 

This has been a trying few years for me  to say the least.. I have become very ill to the  point of not being able to work since October of  1998. The short of the story is that I was  diagnosed with Nerve Damage, Rheumatoid Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or possible MS. But the way I got  it should be considered by everyone that  has  silver fillings in their mouth.  Something caused it and I want to find out what  it is.

First I never get sick. I cant remember  the last time I was ill. Then this happened. It has been trying not only physically but spiritually and emotionally too.

It started creeping up on me in October  1998, but hit full force on November 26,1998.
I was feeling very tired all the time. And could not get enough sleep even after 12 hours I was so fatigued I would shake all the time. My regular MD said it was the flu. Well I went back to him three weeks later and the fatigue only got worse. I brought up the idea about Mercury Poisoning from my fillings and he said it was  near impossible and not likely..
I had two  fillings that were cracked and needed to be replaced , So I went to my Dentist that did the  work and used the plastic white ones to replace the silver Amalgams.
While there we decided to do them all and replace them with the nice  looking composite ones.
I was concerned about  the poisons in the old filling anyway and was reassured by the dentist that the silver mercury  fillings were fine and can not hurt me. So we started the work
Well two weeks later I was in bed. Very Ill. My MD sent me to a Neurologist, the Neurologist sent me to a Rheumatologist and he sent me to a Endocrinologist and no one could figure out why  I am so fatigued to the point of not being able to walk.
I brought up the Mercury thing again and they did a test for it. They did a serum level test for Mercury.
I found out later  that the test the Neurologist did is not worth  the paper it was printed on.
It was now March and I was not able to work at all. I was in bed 22 hours a day. My chiropractor suggested I go to the Environmental Health Center In Dallas, TX . There they started testing me for all types of allergens and chemical toxicity.  Again I asked about Mercury and they did another test. They did a RBC (Red Blood Count) test. Basically they  draw blood crush the cells  and see what's inside. Well My Mercury Level was  very Elevated.
At that time my Dr. there  moved to Utah and was not able to help me.

I was shaking and had tremors, vision  problems, severe muscle and joint pain, twitching, numbness all over 24 hours a day , 7 days a week for months. And loosing memory by  the day
I met a girl named
Kristie at the EHC in Dallas and she said she knew a Doctor in Austin,TX  that could help me. So I said lets go. By the way , Kristie has  Gulf War Syndrome. More about that later.

So after 5 months of wrong blood tests and more blood tests, Two MRIs,  body and  head  and full torso CT scans,SED rate,  allergy testing, and constant pain I met with the Doctor in Austin, TX.
He reviewed my stack of paperwork of previous blood tests, CAT  scans, MRI and Xray results and listened to me for about an hour. He gave me his idea. He suspected Heavy Metal Poisoning- not the music type- and Mercury Toxicity. He gave me an  injection by IV  of a solution called DMPS.  And I did a 24 hour urinalysis test...  Two days later I got the results. The Mercury level  was basically off the page. In the RED. So we started a program  of DMPS chelation and  Mineral replacement IV's. I am currently doing  this and expect to get better some day.

I just want people to know how dangerous silver fillings are. Did you know that  the  "ADA" American Dental Association will revoke  the license of any Dentist that discloses info  that silver fillings can be hazardous to your health. Most dentists will not even  acknowledge  that an amalgam is toxic.
But we all know that Mercury is. Back in the 1970's there were scares in the news about   the mercury levels in Tuna fish. That is so  small compared to amount that is in your mouth  depending on how many fillings you may have. Also , your fillings are releasing mercury 24/7  into your body.

The Mercury is released from fillings  every time you brush your teeth, or have  them  polished. Every time you eat something hot and when you chew on them. It is released in the form of Mercury vapor "methyl  mercury". So when they Drilled mine out, a whole  lot of it was released into me.
There is a proper way to remove that type of Amalgam and my dentist did not do it..

If you do not have any symptoms it may be better to leave the metal filings in your mouth.
If you are to have mercury fillings  removed... Please for your own sake.. See a Holistic dentist that specializes in proper non totxic  removal. It costs more , But Our health is our  most important asset... I hope that I recover mine. It has almost been a year now and I feel worse than awful all the time. And too weak to work. I put off typing this for two months because I could not get the  energy.The money has Run dry and at times so  does my spirit. But I must fight for my health.

If I were to do it over again and  knowing what I have found out:
After getting  any Amalgam removed I would see a Doctor that can remove the mercury with DMPS immediately. I  have found that my  D.O. or Dr. of  Osteopathy is more familiar with chelation of Heavy Metals than any MD. that I have spoken to  over the past years . Your GP or family doc is  good for colds but nothing this serious.
NEVER HAVE DMPS treatments while Mercury fillings are still in  your mouth.
DMPS is such a powerful Chelator that it will pull the Mercury that is still in your teeth out and into your blood stream possibly making things worse.

I will add to this story as I am able. E-mail me if you have any Questions. Or if you have any Answers.We need to share information.

God Bless,

Kirk

PS It is now September 1999. And I have  just finished my 10th DMPS treatment. Half way  there. I have also started to get  a special kind of  acupuncture called N.A.E .T.  ( Nanbutripad Allergy Elimination  Treatment) This does not remove the Mercury but it stops the body from being sensitive to the mercurys toxic effects. It has helped me alot. . I have been walking again , and even started to  be able to play bass too!!
As I find them, I  will put links to N.A.E.T. on this  site.

Remember I am not a doctor. I am just  putting down the Information that I have  accumulated over this year.
A person identifying themselves as a member of the ADA  threatened me to remove this page. I will not do  that until I am made to by a court injunction.
Sounds to me like  I may be on to  something that is not wanted out on the net.

Update
Hi It is August  2001

I know that I have not updated in a long time but if you are looking at this you may know  how hard it is to do just the simplest thing. Well I am still working at it, getting well that is.But I have actually  felt almost normal for about 10 days now. I forgot what that was like. You wonder if Do I really feel better or am I just used to being in pain and feeling Bad all the time.

I have been getting a few  emails from people across the country and Europe  too. I thank  you for reading my story ..  But there is so much more to tell everyone. Some  day I will post it. Mostly it is from people that have been Ill for a long time too. Some worse than others. It breaks my heart, I wish  there was something that could help everyone. It  just takes constant searching and believing in ones self. That this is not in your imagimation. And that the tests are there to prove it.
Just finding the right doctor to do the  right test is the hardest problem.
I have found that NAEThelped me a little, But did not hold, Not that it will be that way for everyone .. but that is the way it turned out  for me.

I have found a great Nutritionist that has helped me Alot. My immune  system was wrecked  by the mercury and for  whatever reason I became sensitive to almost  every food. And I love to eat . Especially Italian food. I have been cleansing my body  spiritually and physically.
Colonics have  helped me , also manual Lymphatic drainage, with  eating as much live food like veggies and  Juicing. If you have a candida problem like alot  of mercury toxic people do, be careful of juicing too much. The high sugar content of  juiced Veggies will only make the Candida  thrive.

I will try to update this  more often than every two years. But I actually feel Ok today and I  want to go for a walk. I could not even think that two years ago. But I am doing it now. And I pray that it stays and I only get better everyday.

Dec.2001
Many of  you that have come to this page have found it due to a health related issue that has been unable to be explained by modern medicine. It  has happened to me and the emotional stress and financial stress can be absolutely unbearable at times.

I personally believe in  the power of prayer and Jesus of the Holy Trinity.

A website that has helped  me with my search for physical as well as spirtual healing is www.drday.com
I believe that spiritual healing must come before the Physical healing  can come. It is all intertwined with one another.

Please feel free to write me . I always try to get back in a timely manner.
 

May 2002

Thank God that I have been  feeling OK these past few weeks.
Part of my treatments over the past few years have been quite different than what I would call normal.
The doctors where not able to help me  with my health but were only able to diagnose and  give the symptoms a name or a diseases  name.
The rheumatologist said he thought that  I had a very high RF of 40 and that I should  take NSAIDS. That will not cure the problem I thought.
The Neurologist put me on Steroids for a while and that only seemed to make me feel even worse. That will not cure you. It only covers the symptoms from what I have learned.
And you will only get worse. I have  never seen a doctor cure someone of a disease,  only blast it into remission or cover the symptoms with drugs. But never get to what caused  the disease. Why it happened. Diseases just do not happen. Something triggers  it. If you look deep enough and are honest enough , you can find the underlying cause.  Everything has a cause and reaction.
I chose  to heal my own body the natural way with some help from the Docs.

 I had to get all the  toxins out. Remove the metal.
And cleanse my organs so that they can do what they are supposed to do.  Support life in my body. I  am still working at it and it is a life style change for me.
My D.O. put me on long term  antibiotics which is not a natural way but that is the only drug help that I had.
He found that people with CFS or CFIDS may have a Bacterial attack that is not detected by normal methods.
So I was on Doxycyclene for almost a year and then Biaxin for about two months.
I  had to supplement with allot of acidophilous to help prevent candida build up.
I have been  recently doing Ozone Spa treatments and that  has helped greatly in my mobility.
My liver was trashed from all the mercury and I believe that the  Ozone has helped clean it and allow me to  process the toxins more easliy. During my heavy metal blood level tests Uranium was found too. I have no idea how I got that. That is what I get  for living in New York City for 38 years.. hahah
So as I said this has been a good week or two. The best that I have felt in years.
One doctor told me that you can not  get better from the things that I have. I hope  to prove that he is incorrect and that we can heal our bodies with Gods help.
Water, Water,  Water... we need lots of the pure stuff.
Drday.com
I have been drinking distilled water for 3 years.
 And I try to eat Organic foods and
Organic Raw vegesas much as possible.
Our cell mitochondria need enzymes for cellular growth and cooked foods have all their  enzymes killed in the cooking process.
So I have been trying  to eat Raw a much as my taste buds allow me to.
"Desperate times need desperate  action." So a life style change is in need.
 I will ad to this as time goes on.
Thank you,

I am still working at  feeling Normal. It has been over 4 years now. Some days are OK now,  and many still have  pain and numbness.
I know that I will be  better eventually.
I just want to thank all the people that have written to me and I hope  that my experience  can help someone with  similar health problens.

November 2003
It is coming up on 5 years since it all started.
I can honestly say that at this time I am more than 95% back to normal.There are days that I just feel great !
A few years ago I did not think it was possible to be alive much less to ever feel good again ,
I have been blessed to be able to get well. The long term question now is. What have I learned from this? And may I not forget.

 June 2008

Well the years have passed. I never thought that I would feel well again. But  I do. I have been back to playing bass professionally, have dated once again, broke up, got a new dog and have been living life once again. And i know that God had his hand on me while i was out and still does.. I know it as fact and no one can make me change my mind on that... I should not be here today according to all the experts...  So Thank you God!

So I have gotten much better,, I do have a bad day from time to time with fatigue and some pain.. but it is not daily and hourly.  Sorry for not coming here for a few years but i was playing catch up with time lost... So i am at scratch one starting all over again.. and im 50 years old... whew..
