Hi fashionista,

My lymphocyte sensitivity test in 2010 showed a very high amount of mercury and other metals. I did finally have the Melisa test but by then I'd already had my amalgam fillings...

In the UK, dental amalgam is still the only one used by our medical profession and if you want a different kind you have to go to a private dentist and they are very expensive. I have ones now which...

Another summary of homocystinuria and the presence of scoliosis:

I am 52 and had a rod and a cast. My rod was a single one, measuring about 12 inches and held with a hinge on top and bottom. I was then in a plaster cast for the next five months or so before being...

By far the worst source is dental amalgam as it is right in your mouth in substantial amounts, giving a constant low-level trickle feed of mercury vapour into your surrounding tissue and lungs.


...

At the beginning of this thread I mentioned a condition called Homocystinuria, and how I suspected I may have a form of it. After four years of perseverance, I have finally managed to get the genetic...

I had my fusion at 18, although the rod had to be removed the following year, and I had my first pregnancy at 31. I asked the surgeon who performed my surgery about the possibility of pregnancy and...

1. How many years post op are you? (we are looking for long term results maybe 5 years, 10 years, 15 years post op)
32 years
2. Are you in pain?
Yes, both from an unconnected health problem and...

"The Swedish amalgam ban is for both environmental and health issues, according to authorities."



I think you would be wise to take your own advice. Dental amalgam, both before and after it...

Oh, you personally know the statistics for dentists having amalgam in their own mouth? Can you give a source for the figure of 99.9% you quote?

In the UK, NHS dentists do not have the option of...

Hypothesis of what? Mercury poisoning generally or mercury possibly leading to some cases of scoliosis? There is as much evidence for general toxicity as against it, and most of the 'against' is done...

Idiopathic only means the cause is unknown. How do you jump from that to mean that it cannot therefore be from mercury exposure, even if not recognised?



I am already in the real world where...

Oh well, if you say it isn't true, then that must be the case. I didn't know you were a scientist, ornithologist, ichthyologist and medic, with indisputable evidence that environmental toxins...

I see this forum has reverted to form - resorting to insults.



Yes, I am aware - now that I know about its inclusion in some vaccines. I didn't know at the time else I would have asked.


...

It is now almost a year since I last updated this thread and promised I would do this for the benefit of those who showed an interest.

I had all my amalgam fillings safely replaced in May/June...

I have no understanding of MRI scans and make no attempt to interpret yours. However, if I were you I'd be asking about an area to the right of the bottom two full vertebrae. You will see there...

Hi Ballet Mom,

I agree with what you are saying about studies needing to be done (if they haven't been done already). I really don't know how much investigation has been done into incidence of...

Hi Ballet Mom,

Yes, my main concern is to hopefully improve my general health now. I know my scoliosis was a lost cause once I had surgery.

Did you look at the links I supplied? I found them...

I stated that I would come back and give the result of my recent Heavy Metal Sensitivity Test, for the benefit of those who showed at least a passing interest. I actually sought the test from another...

Karen,

I had no problem with the comments you made earlier in the thread. You have every right to state your opinion of a therapy, even if it is a negative one. There were other comments from...

I'll say it one last time as it doesn't seem to be getting through:

I don't mind a difference of opinion
I don't mind well-meaning warnings
I don't mind people rejecting an idea I have put...

I'm afraid I do not give Quackwatch the elevated status it appears to have here. Their opinion matters nothing to me. I have seen too many people and organisations attacked and attempts made to put...

Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion but how you express it says a lot about you as a person. You can say you don't personally accept that there is any validity in the idea of metal toxicity...

Rohrer,

I have no metal in my spine.

I know full well that nothing can cure my scoliosis and am not pursuing this test for that reason. It is only in the hope of improving my general health...

I just want to make it clear that I have never had any issue with people rejecting the idea that mercury toxicity might be responsible for some instances of scoliosis. Neither have I any objection to...
