August 23 MS surveyAs I was doing research to help me decide if I wanted to get all my mercury/amalgam fillings removed, I talked with, or read about several people with MS who had gotten their mercury fillings removed. Some people experienced great improvement in their MS symptoms, and others reported that they had not noticed any difference at all.
It got me thinking. Why did some people have such a great improvement, and others did not? What is the difference between those who improved, and those who didn't? I have thought of some possible theories, but in order to really find out, I will need to do more research.
I have put together a simple survey to help me find out the possible answers to these questions. Anyone who has been diagnosed with MS who has ever had amalgam fillings, but now no longer has them is qualified to participate in my survey.
Anyone who participates in the survey will be offered a free "thank you" gift for their participation.
I would encourage all who qualify for this survey to participate. If you know anyone, friends or family, who qualifies for this survey, please give them the link.
Every one who fills out the survey will be invited to share their story in their own words. With permission, these stories will be posted on my website.

Numbness around midsection is GONE!My mercury/amalgam fillings were all removed July 18, 06. Had the IV Vitamin C during the procedure, and the activated charcoal just before and after the procedure, and took whole food Vitamin C until I received my oral chelation formula July 20. Started taking the oral chelation formula July 20th, starting with 1 PM cap and 1 am tab a day, and gradually increasing to 3 of each. I have also been taking Ziwi.
About 2 weeks after getting the fillings removed, I noticed that the numbness feeling around my trunk was gone. The numbness kind of felt like saran wrap was covering me around my trunk, from my waist to my chest. When any thing touched the area, it felt weird, altered sensation. I frequently felt like my bra had fallen down, because I couldn't feel it against my skin, and was always checking to see if it was still there, and it was. Only a couple weeks after getting the mercury out I noticed that the skin sensation of my trunk was back to normal.
Now, it has been a month after getting all the mercury filling out, and starting the oral chelation formula. I only have left numbness in the palms of my hands, and occasional itching in my left armpit area. Both of these are markedly less intense than they were before.
The numbness is my hands was very intense, with altered sensation and stiffness which was starting to move up my wrists. It was hard to grab onto anything I was reaching for because my arm and hand were hard to steady and I would really have to concentrate on what I was grabbing for, or I would miss. My finger would spasm. I was trying to highlight a large area of text on my laptop. I used my left index finger to hold down the mouse button, while I used my right index finger to scroll down the text to highlight it. My left index finger kept jumping off the mouse button, and I wasn't able to highlight all the text at once until I used my right hand to hold my left finger down on the mouse button. Right now, the only issue I have left with my hands is some very minor numbness in the palms of my hands. It seems to be getting less numb each day.
My left armpit area was super sensitive. It would start itching like crazy. It was a deep intense itch. If I would just touch the area, it would start itching. It was difficult to wash this area while I was in the shower, or put on deodorant because it was hypersensative. Now, that area only has occasional itching, and is not as sensitive.
A couple days after I went from taking 1 AM, and 1 PM chelation formula, to taking 2 of each, I noticed hot and cold sensations in my right leg. It would feel as if I had a cold draft on one area of my leg, even if I was under a warm blanket. Or I would feel as if a warm ray of sunshine was beaming down on part of my leg, when I was inside the house with the air conditioning on. I was thinking that more mercury was beeing pulled out of my tissues, and circulating in my body than was being eliminated through the kidneys. I was also tasting a metallic taste in my mouth, which is a sign of mercury circulating in the body. I had been taking ibuprofen for tooth pain during that time, so my liver may have gotten a little overloaded trying to process everything. I stopped taking the oral chelation formula for a couple of days, increased my water intake, and started taking the whole food Vit. C again. I started taking the oral chelation formula again, after a few days, starting with one of each the AM and PM formulas for a couple of days, and then increased to 2 each. Now I am taking 3 of each daily. I continue to take the whole food Vit C, and the Ziwi, and am trying to drink extra water throughout the day to help flush out the mercury that is being pulled out of my tissues. The hot and cold sensations in my legs are no longer there.
As soon as I have normal sensation in my hands I will write about it in this blog, so be sure to check back. August 15 Weight in today, 50 lbs lostWeigh in today!!!!
