The list of symptoms of mercury toxicity alone, published by DAMS (dental amalgam support group), includes virtually any illness known to humankind: chronic fatigue, depression and joint pains are the most common.

To keep it simple: mercury alone can mimic or cause any illness currently known - or contribute to it.

Modern Medicine has taken a giant leap in the last few years through the discovery and use of the PCR test (polymerase chain reaction). Virtually any illness looked at seems to be caused or contributed to by a chronic infection. A study performed by the VA administration (and published in JADA, April 1998) on 10,000 US veterans showed that most coronary heart disease really started as an endothelial infection, in most cases caused by microorganisms from the mouth. Another study showed that close to 70 % of all TMJ syndromes in women are caused or contributed to by Chlamydia trachomatis. Childhood diabetes is often caused by either a cytomegaly or influenza virus infection. And on and on…..

Rather then looking at the pH, osmolality and the other factors, I suggest diagnosing and treating toxic metal residues in the body along with appropriate treatment of the microorganisms. As long as compartmentalized toxic heavy metals are present in the body, microorganisms have a fortress that cannot be conquered by antibiotics, Enderlein remedies, ozone therapy, UV light therapy and others.

To diagnose metal deposits in the different body compartments on a living patient is not easy (see Klinghardt article in Explore:1997), since most “scientific” tests are based on grinding up tissue and then examining it with a microscope, spectroscopy or other laboratory based procedures. Most elegant and suitable is Dr.Yoshiaki Omura’s resonance phenomenon between identical substances: both his bi-digital O-ring test or ART (autonomic response testing) are extensions of a regular physical exam, that can be done without any instrument. It is a very accurate diagnostic tool and makes it possible to not only diagnose where in the body which heavy metal is stored but also helps to predict which metal detoxifying agent is most suitable to remove the toxic metal from that particular body region. The metals found most commonly are : mercury, lead, aluminum and cadmium.  

As you would assume, multiple causes can be identified:

• Past physical trauma, such as closed head injury which will make the brain susceptible to become a storage site for lead, aluminum and mercury.
• Food allergies: they often cause a low grade encephalitis or joint inflammation, again setting up those areas to become targets for toxic deposits
• Geopathic stress: we found significant numbers of patients sleeping on underground water lines or too close to electrical equipment. Heavy metals concentrate in the body regions most compromised
• Scars and other foci: scars can create abnormal electrical signals which can alter the function of the ANS (autonomic nervous system). The abnormal impulses often cause areas of vasoconstriction and hypoperfusion, which again become metal storage sites.
• Structural abnormalities: TMJ-problems and Cranio-Sacral dysfunctions often are responsible for impairment of blood flow and lymphatic drainage in affected areas.
• Biochemical deficiencies: if the patient has a chronic zinc deficiency, the prostate, which has a large turn-over of zinc, starts to incorporate other 2-valent metals, such as Hg ++, Pb++
• Environmental toxicity (solvents, pesticides, wood preservatives etc.): these agents have a synergistic effect with most toxic metals. Heavy metals will often accumulate in body parts that have been chemically injured at a prior time.
• Unresolved psycho-emotional trauma and unresolved problems in the family system.

Natural Health Innovations' Natural Approach to Heavy Metal Toxicity

We educate each individual on how to detoxify and rejuvenate their physical health on their journey to optimal and balanced health incorporating all five levels of healing into a nutritional/wellness program. We also help individuals realize that every thought, belief, action and deed that they execute has a direct effect on how their health and life direction will manifest and that by identifying those causes they can directly influence the direction of their lives.

There is a natural systematic approach to prepare and assist the body to release mercury/metals.

At Natural Health Innovations, Inc. we work to restore homeostasis in all individuals using the work developed by Dr. Klinghardt. We use Autonomic Response Testing to check each step in the protocol to determine those nutraceutical agents that are proper recommendations for you.

CAUTION: "The routine use of intravenous DMPS is not advisable for patients who still have silver amalgam fillings. This is because DMPS may appear in the saliva and act to dissolve the surface of the existing amalgam fillings. The potential outcome is acute toxicity from heavy metal injury to the lining of the gut.  Detoxification should be done very carefully and under the guidance of a trained practitioner.  One who uses Autonomic Response Testing is able to determine which detox agents are proper to assist in your healing," Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., PhD..
