I am curious because I still have two mercury fillings and would like to get them removed eventually. And I was reading on another website about how someone thought he had that disease but it turned out it was mercury toxicity.I copied and pasted it:"over a year ago i started to have problems with my speech. other people didnt hear it but i knew that i did. In June i went to my family doctor and he blurted out Parkinsons disease and wanted me to be started on a parkinsons med. i totally refused. He ordered a MRI of my brain and that was negative but eh speech thing progressed. In Sept he sent me to a Neurologist in fact i saw 2 of them and had a EMG which was neg also..both of these Neurologists said that they didnt see anything wrong with me and felt it was all caused my stress, so at that point i started to see a therapist and i was put on antidepressants. things continued to progress with the speech and i went back to my family doctor and he blurted out ALS. I totally freaked out and went hysterical. we requested a consult to Mayo Clinic which I went there in January. I had a week of testing, everything from EMG.to MRIS and 13 vials of blood and a 24 hour urine. i saw two neurologists there also. they did find on the EMG some facial nerve weakness but other then that i have no other signs of ALS, but the last Neurologist specialist said to me PROBABLE ALS...which again totally freaked me out and sent me into shock. she wants me back in May for a week of retesting. The only real problem is my speech and my tongue is weak. so chewing is hard at times..i also have more saliva at time..I have a friend in Denmark that is an alternative Doctor. I contacted him and he invited my husband and i over to see him and we spent a month with him. After his exam,in which he checked the mercury in my teeth he said to me.."you do not have ALS, you have mercury toxcity"...he made an appointment with a dentist there that specializes in removal of mercury fillings...i spent 3 days there and had 2 teeth pulled,one which they found a tool still down in the root canal that had broken off years ago and the dentist that did this root canal just left it in there and didnt tell me. The normal level of mercury in a persons mouth should be under 20 ....mine registered 167 in one tooth alone. He said he has not seen this high of a level in years and years.. He explained how mercury toxicity can cause the same symptoms as ALS, which i have looked up on line and also found for myself. When i went to Denmark my family doctor had me on pills for high bloodpressure, which i have been on for 16 years, hormones, antidepressants, and a sleeping pill....Now i am totally off all these pills and my blood pressure is normal...i am sleeping at night and feel good inside....i am taking natual supplements..and eating a very healthy diet.I have been told that it can take a year to years to rid the body of the mercury poison..i have an appointment here with my local dentist because i still have three gold crowns in my mouth and i dont know what is under each of those gold crowns..but i will have them removed also..when my husband talked to our dentist and asked about the mercury, he told my husband that it is illegal for them to suggest to remove the mercury only if the patient requests it..SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE DENTISTS STILL USING THIS HORRIBLE STUFF IN PEOPLES MOUTHS.I am a registerd nurse and now had to give up my job because of my speech i could not fulfill this position. It was very hard for me as i have worked there for 13 years. I also have Celiac disease, which i have also found out that can be cause too, by mercury poisioning...when i had the blood tests and urine tests in Mayo, it did not show any mercury in my body...so these tests are not realistc in finding the mercury in ones mouth..and this is where it is doing the damage...i would suggest to anyone, if you are having these symptomes to check out how many silver fillings are in your mouths...and also go on line and read the signs of mercuy toxcity...."So I figured I will try to cut down on sushi..I love sushi
