The closest thing I can come to is either Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue, or Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Candida, and
http://www.cfspages.com/aboutyou.html has an article about someone with Chronic Fatigue talking about their amalgam experiences.
......................Some of the most severely poisoned people have lost the ability to excrete mercury through their hair. My MD believes a DMPS mercury "challenge" to be the most reliable and complete diagnostic test for mercury body burden. Scientific studies have validated the DMPS mercury "challenge" assertion. Eventually the MELISA® test for metal allergy will be available in the USA. Read about this important new diagnostic tool at CFS Nutrition.
Removing your mercury amalgam fillings alone will not make you well. The mercury causing chronic illness has already escaped from the fillings and accumulated in the body. The fillings represent a leaking reservoir of mercury contributing to current and future chronic mercury exposure. For some, removing this further mercury exposure is enough for their body to recover. Many others have lost the ability to excrete mercury efficiently and will take a long time to recover without some form of chelation.
To become well, a mercury toxic person will need to consider eliminating their sources of mercury exposure. The sick person will need to remove all of their mercury amalgam fillings. Equally important is that the amalgam removal be as free from further mercury contamination of the body as possible. A person will also need to remove the mercury accumulated in their body. Chelation treatment is crucial to recovery in a reasonable length of time. A note of caution: If you have porphyria or reactions to sulfa drugs, DMPS is sulfa based. A friend has had a severe reaction to DMPS for this reason. Be sure and bring up the question of sulfa sensitivity when you go in for treatment.
Other chelators are available, including DMSA, and the over the counter amino acid NAC. If you have limited finances for amalgam removal, then you should consider the in's and out's of amalgam removal. A person needs to continue the battle with chronic yeast overgrowth since they are a source of mercury methylization. Once the mercury is all gone, your body will be able to fight the yeast quite easily, and they will no longer be such a problem.
My MD views DMPS chelation as futile until all the mercury fillings are removed. Some contend it is even dangerous due to the mercury potential remaining in the fillings. The DMPS may motivate the mercury to leave the fillings faster, resulting in an even worse body contamination than before treatment. I'm not so sure. The covalent bonds of mercury amalgams do require some energy to break. The electro-chemical oxidation process present in the mouth are already doing the job. Certainly taking nutrition is a wise step in getting your body back into it's natural excretion capabilities even if you continue to have amalgam in your mouth. ................................. I don't recommend that anyone run out and remove all their fillings willy nilly. If you choose this path, you first have to hook up with a competent MD and clinic that can give the full DMPS chelation treatment. You also have to be sure that you have a dentist that can remove the mercury amalgam safely. Once you have all this, you have to decide for yourself whether mercury is a likely cause in your case. Only you can take the leap of faith required in deciding that this treatment will produce a cure for you. Be warned though, DMPS chelation is not for everyone.
Even if you don't see mercury from dental fillings as the root cause to your CFS, you should consider losing the mercury fillings anyway. My reasoning is that people with CFS have diminished resources to fight illness and mercury is a known immune compromiser, depleting the body of glutathione. Candida lives in everyone to some degree and will methylize all mercury that confronts it as part of it's own defense to the poison. There is likely an inability for a CFS persons body to keep up the excretion rate required to remove even a small amount of methyl mercury deriving from dental mercury. Mercury release from your fillings is a proven negative health factor you can take steps to absolutely eliminate. Once the mercury is removed as a health stress, your body can focus all it's resources on whatever else is making you ill.
