Reply #185: Good answer and good advice, back to the main question. [View All]

What if, after seeing all these specialists, board certified
pediatricians, etc., they all just shook their heads and said,
"I don't know what is wrong. I have no answer for you. 
She will just have to live with it.  Good luck and God
bless."  Or they said she had some progressive disorder
that could kill her eventually and they can't do anything
about it.  She is still sick and getting sicker.  You have
spent months, maybe years trying to get appointments with
specialists, getting referrals, testing, MRI's, CT Scans,
traveling all over the country, spending thousands of dollars,
getting the brush off, being treated as a neurotic, obsessing
parent. And she is still suffering.  New issues and problems
keep cropping up.  You track down another specialist. 

What if she couldn't ride her bike anymore, or dance, or ski,
or swim because of dizziness, was put into special ed because
she couldn't keep up in school, couldn't play in the sun
because it made her head hurt and she felt like she was going
to pass out, she couldn't sleep at night because of restless
leg syndrome (and night sweats and a sensation like a blow
torch on her legs), her eyelids twitched and make reading
difficult, what if her memory just gets worse and worse, her
speech is affected and her word finding ability, she starts
not wanting to go anyplace or be around people because she
doesn't have the energy or feel up to it, her face is red and
has pus filled blotches out on her cheeks and nose (another
reason to not want to go out into society), she has no energy
and is tired all the time, she is depressed, and she lives in
dread of having malignant melanoma reappear as either a new
occurrence or a secondary occurrence to the first occurrence. 

And nobody offered any help or hope.  Oh, they might offer
anti-depressants, bottles of antivert and scopalamine patches
(for the vertigo), metrogel and tetracycline (for her face),
valium to calm her and to try to take when the vertigo
threatens (impossible to do at that point however, as
everything is wanting to come up not go down), dilantin for
undiagnosed epilepsy but what the hey, it might help with the
vertigo, naprosyn for the headaches and other aches and pains,
and if she is much older, hormones such as PremPro, that cause
terrifying blood clots in addition to the other menopausal
symptoms.  

None of these measures cure anything.  Some of them just add
more issues.  Some of them destroy the liver, or the kidneys,
or cause problems with the stomach or the intestines.  Some of
them require constant monitoring, are habit forming, make you
sleep all the time, etc.  But that is okay, they are the
solutions offered, so just be grateful, go home, stop
complaining, and pop your pills.

Would you now make arrangements to have her amalgams removed
safely, if this was what she had to look forward to for the
rest of her life?

And regarding chelation or detoxing.  There are some safer
forms of detoxing that do not use strong chemicals.  How about
those?
