Greetings In Christ Sister Nancy!
Good to hear you are improving physically!!! I already know you are growing in Christ!!!! :) On Wed, 23 Apr 1997, Berntsen wrote: > 1. How does one diagnose this problem? (Can you give a summary of the > likely symptoms?) I am sure others can answer this better than I , but I gather from what my doctor said that there can be a lot of symptoms related to mercury poisoning. It tends to break down the immune system and thus many other things can become problems due to our weakness in defending against invaders. In real bad cases I have seen symptoms like multiplesclerosis appear. I saw a film on a girl that had this come on her very rapidly, they thought it was MS. She had her amalgams removed and began a gradual but steady recovery to health. It really was dramatic. Other symptoms can be like fibromyalgia, muscle spasms and arthritic conditions in the muscles and joints. This is what I had. Also blood sugar problems, the toxicity of the system caused my pancreas and adrenals to go bonkers. People get asthma like symptoms, and then there is the shutdown of the immune system in some cases. It can be devastating, and it can be minor, depends on the individual and the lifestyle/diet too. If someone drinks a lot of phosphate drinks (pop), this will get more of the mercury into the system. The ph of the body will have an effect too, the more acid..the faster the breakdown of the amalgam. There is a lot that is individual in regard to genetics, lifestyle, etc. Just some thoughts. > 2. Is mercury Still being used in fillings today??? Sure...and there are still the hardliners denying that it is harmful too. The official ADA position is that MERCURY is harmless when combined with the elements in the amalgam....it is "sealed" or has become inert in this combination. (At least this is what was "preached" some years ago, correct me if I am wrong.) This is NONSENSE (and that is being kind). > 3. a.

How healthy would he be without them? God is looking out for him! Amen! > b. (Repeat) Could the silver in his fillings offer antimicrobial > properties? Sure...but the mercury would not be offset by the benefit offered by the silver. I don't think it possible for MERCURY/SILVER amalgams to be a possitive experience!

I seem to go through this every time I > increase the dose. I don't know how you calculate this. And please remember...it is better to dilute the solution and take more of it (the same amount of silver particles, but in more water) than to take a small amount of CS in concentrated form. It gets to the cells better. There is another important device available...Please read these articles. I am convinced they offer real hope to those with lyme, hiv, and cnacer. <http://www.explorepub.com/articles/beck/hiv_article.html> Articles <http://www.portal.ca/~gekko/products.htm> source for the devices <http://buncombe.main.nc.us/~mforrest> another source, less expensive The electroporation caused by these devices allows greater absorbtion of herbs and even the colloidal silver, on a cellular level. Really increases the utilization of the solution for our benefit. The designer of the devices is a strong advocate of colloidal silver. One of these devices is actually able to make colloidal silver when electrodes are attached. The other effects the lymph glands directly through the use of magnetic pulses, this destroys the viruses living there and causes the increased flow of lymph. These things are all falling together, are they not? > Along with that comes more mild, generalized aches/sx & some old nuero > sx (mainly eye sx: blurred vision, delayed opening of my right eye upon > arisal) most likely from the toxins.

Aerobics is an active way to to it; a > sauna is a passive way to to it. Dr.Samuel West has a great program for exercise...it is a lymphatic method. It is low impact, almost no impact, and exceptionally good for hte circulation of blood and lymph. I was involved as a physical therapist for years and therefore involved in therapeudic exercise programs, I can tell you THIS IS VERY DYNAMIC AND EFFECTIVE. And it is so simple and easy to do. Kids love it too. His book..THE GOLDEN SEVEN PLUS ONE can be found at <http://www.familyhealthnews.com> ...It really works. There is also the use of herbs to increase the circulation. Lobelia and Cayenne are tremendous for increasing the flow of blood and unblocking the system. Let me put in a good word for these herbs. Dr.Schultze recommended them and I got into them slowly about two weeks ago. Well, I can tell you, my back has improved tremendously. Circulation is getting way down deep into tight muscles and they are responding. I know he is on to something with these herbs. They are most beneficial. We are making extracts and buying wholesale/organic. Cayenne tincture improves the circulation in the brain so much, I can actually feel the difference. Now this is something! > Someone gave me a great idea for a free sunny day sauna: sit in a hot > car for several minutes! (I'd clarify, not in a "running car" unless > you are going somewhere.) You could bounce on one of Dr.West's lymphatic trampolines...break a good sweat, fill our blood with oxygen, pump out your lymphatic system, and tone your muscles too. It's just like your sauna...free! Only one thing...you gotta buy the trampoline (about $20, but lasts for years!). Am I rambling or what? God Bless, Scott PS...Thanks to everybody for the great posts on amalgams...we need to know this stuff!!
