Mercury Poisoning

Complete Recovery from Mercury Poisoning

Summary

Judith sought treatment at our clinic following acute mercury poisoning caused by a dental procedure. As a result, she experienced memory loss, anxiety disorder, inability to concentrate, and severe dysfunction. After undergoing a four-month treatment, the toxic metal was successfully removed from her body, and Judith returned to her normal state.

“I couldn’t comprehend what was happening to me. Suddenly, I felt like I had lost myself. I had an incredibly stressful day and struggled to fall asleep until 3 am. During that time, I experienced intense itching on my hands and feet, which further hindered my ability to sleep.

However, the most distressing aspect was my constant forgetfulness. I found it difficult to recall the current year, the name of my city, and at times, even my own name. Moreover, there were moments when my vision became blurred, as if shadows or clouds obstructed my sight.

At work, I received constant criticism due to my forgetfulness and frequent mistakes. I knew something was wrong but couldn’t identify the cause. Eventually, I became unbearable to my colleagues, resulting in my dismissal from my job.”

Descriptions of patients, history, symptoms, other treatments

Judith, 45 years old, arrived at our clinic in a severely distressed mental and psychological state. She appeared utterly disoriented and struggled to concentrate, even on simple questions. She displayed minimal reaction to external stimuli and experienced bouts of incoherent speech, insomnia, and itching in her hands and feet.

“It was an incredibly peculiar situation, and I had no clue about its cause. I contemplated the matter, as I had always been well-organized, mentally sharp, and rarely forgot things. Yet, it seemed as if something had invaded my mind and blocked its normal functioning. Initially, I attributed it to fatigue and reassured my son that it would pass.

Instead of improving, however, the condition worsened. I began to fear that my end was approaching. Now that I have fully recovered, it all feels like a terrible nightmare. I am grateful to you for identifying the true cause of my illness and rectifying it, as other doctors I consulted had prescribed neurological medications.

It’s astonishing how something as seemingly simple as a dental procedure could have such profound consequences.”

What is Mercury Poisoning?

Elevated levels of mercury in the blood and tissues can lead to irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbances (particularly insomnia), impaired cognitive function, and memory loss.

The affected individual may exhibit behavioral changes, ranging from heightened arousal and anger to apathy and depression. Other symptoms may include visual impairments (reduced visual field), auditory issues (hallucinations), speech difficulties, and impaired coordination. In severe cases, paralysis, coma, or even death can occur.

Chronic mercury poisoning manifests gradually, causing inflammation in the oral cavity (gums, mouth, and teeth), as well as skin abnormalities (redness, peeling, and toxic dermatitis). Symptoms such as restlessness, light sensitivity (photophobia), increased sweating, and swelling of extremities may also accompany chronic mercury poisoning.

Diagnosis And Test Results

The diagnosis was based on the patient’s elevated blood mercury levels (26.3 mg/L) compared to the normal range of less than 5 mg/L. Hematocrit and serum magnesium levels were within the normal range, while omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids were normal or slightly elevated. Selenium levels were slightly elevated, and zinc levels were below normal.

Treatment Plan

The patient underwent our heavy-metal detoxification protocol, with a particular focus on removing mercury. Additionally, hydrotherapy was administered, and homeopathic treatments and specific mineral supplements were prescribed.

After three months of treatment, the patient successfully eliminated mercury from her body, leading to a complete resolution of symptoms. Normal sleep patterns returned, memory function improved, and anxiety, irritability, lack of focus, and behavioral disturbances disappeared. The itching in her hands and feet significantly decreased.

Judith has since resumed her normal life, including returning to work as well.
