This makes sense to me. I had the last of my amalgams out in 2021 and now that I think about it, I have minimised my drinking. I have one of each of the mthfr mutations that are bothersome and while I do not have full pernicious anaemia, there is s glitch in the pathway for B12 (found on a gene test). I find this very interesting. I don’t have any vacs so hopefully Al is not an issue.
I am a person with amalgam fillings still in my head and I do not drink alcohol at all. I have a son who suffers from seasonal depression, and he does not get vaccinated every year. Has not had a vax for at least 20 years. These two facts go against what you say. This tends to make me doubt your hypothesis. I totally agree that mercury fillings and injections cause metal toxicity, but I have some doubts about the firm causative link to addiction that you argue.
Do you have the mthfr gene mutation? If you are not an inefficient detoxer, you won’t have mercury in your blood from your amalgams and won’t need to drink alcohol to slow down the conversion from ethyl mercury to methyl mercury. So I’m not surprised you don’t drink alcohol. My article didn’t say that all people with amalgams drink alcohol
After my amalgams were removed, I still had toxic levels in my blood 8-9 years later. Contrast this with someone who doesn’t have the mthfr mutation and they can have a mouthful of amalgam fillings and have no mercury in their blood, because their immune system is efficient at detoxing toxins, unlike those with mthfr
Anyhow, it's an interesting theory and you might wonder how many divorces are caused by this neurotoxicity. They used to do blood tests before marriage. Maybe we need to do metal hypersensitivity tests.
It’s not just a theory but an experience, and a common one at that for those with mthfr. Metal hypersensitivity testing is done by labs all round the world but it needs to be done more. Before and after any dental work or surgery, and just after birth when genetic testing should also be done. In NZ they don’t allow metal hypersensitivity testing. They deny the science
My personal experience with metal detox is that I used to have panic attacks and the jolt of adrenaline would feel like a wave of heat traveling up the spine and exploding straight into my brain where it would rattle around causing racing, and repetitive thoughts. After using a few bottles of nano zeolite spray, that sensation never happened again although i still have panic attacks.
Silica water meanwhile seems more associated with emotional neutrality that some people might find even callous. It used to be when someone disagreed I would get that zing of activation and feel a lot more triggered for a lot longer.
So the metals definitely seem to overheat or overactivate the nervous system and cause it to run hot and irritably.
I'm saying if aluminum is causing excessive negative emotions it removes that. which people might find callous because they are used to being poisoned and hyper emotional
Food for thought! To reconsider addiction as compensation for metabolic derangement is a fantastic realignment. It does make sense: the addict feels better on the drug, and they're not compensating for a "permanent chemical imbalance" as claimed by psychiatry, but they are fighting a durative state of a different sort, which is why the addiction remains intractable.
This is beautiful. I’ve started drinking green smoothies and it has made a HUGE difference for me! I wonder if there could be a link between metal toxicity and mineral deficiency…
I've heard from knowledgeable sources that mercury and other harmful metals stay in our bodies only when there are mineral deficiencies, causing the cell receptors to take up the mercury because there isn't enough magnesium to do the job of cell-building. If we replenish our diet with plenty of minerals, it will "push out" the mercury and other heavy metals when new cells are being made. I remember seeing a table of minerals and the metals that are close to them on the Periodic Table of Elements that will substitute for them when the mineral is lacking. Sorry I don't remember where I saw it, but I'm sure it can be found.
Thank you, Carri. Great info! I do believe there is a direct relationship between mineral sufficiency/deficiency and metal detoxing and also agree with the gene mutation factor inhibiting those processes. I have seen great improvements any time I increase my raw foods intake! (And with supplements as well)
Those with mthfr create antibodies to the metals they become hypersensitive to. So each subsequent time they are exposed to these metals, their bodies launch a defence against them. They are antigenic metals that act like haptens. Mineral deficiencies have nothing to do with the creation of antibodies to metals. I wish they did
If someone has the mthfr gene mutation, they are inefficient detoxers and metals including mercury build up in their body. This causes a hypersensitivity to the metal and symptoms arise. I got mercury toxicity after they had a galvanic reaction with a spine implant. Because of the mthfr mutation I still had toxic levels in my blood 8 years later. I now have zero mercury in my blood. So over that time the mercury was getting less and less even though I had mineral deficiencies. Someone without the mthfr gene mutation can have a mouthful of amalgam fillings and have no mercury in their blood as they have efficient detox processes. The ways that those with mthfr react to mercury are much much different from how those who don’t have mthfr. The fda immunology panel on orthopaedic implant metals interim findings was that there is a subset of the population who are susceptible to metals. These are the inefficient detoxers amongst us. Many are because of orthopaedic implants or dental work. I’m hypersensitive to titanium and aluminium also. From my experiences I don’t give much credence to the theory that mercury and other metals only stay in the body because of mineral deficiencies. Flouride is very good at stopping aliminium from leaving the body as it creates compounds with the aluminium in the ph of the stomach
The morning that you posted this article, I was discussing with my husband the link between mineral deficiency and mental illness. Then I saw your article and I was fascinated the whole way through! 😆 I just know the two are interrelated. I’d be interested in seeing that table of minerals and metals that Carri mentions. Last May, we lost my brother to a motorcycle accident. But really, we lost him to addiction and mental illness. Probably… we lost him to metal toxicity. Vaccines, metal capped teeth. I’ve always pondered the distinct change in him around the age of 7. In July, we lost our friend and first cousin to suicide. I’m glad you touched on that topic so well in your article.
Mental illness is not real. Allopathic drs are not allowed to investigate or treat neurotoxicity so the symptoms are called mental illness. It used to be thought it was impossible for children and teenagers to get mental illness(neurotoxicity) what happened to change this? More and more exposures to metals. Metals are seen as the great sensitiser of the human race and an existential threat to our survival
That’s a great point! They are 75% greens. Then topped off with chia seeds, mango, pineapple, bananas sometimes ginger, and water. I am absolutely blown away at the impact these smoothies have had!
If your smoothies are working i wouldn't necessarily mess with a good thing, but you might want to look up the medical medium detox smoothie. it's made specifically for metal detox with chelating, binding, and antioxidant substances that work together synergistically.
If you are suffering a hypersensitivity to metals and have the mthfr gene mutation, be very careful using products to speed up detoxification. Metals are at their most dangerous when they are mobbed round the body
Yes, you must definitely get it removed as they leak mercury gas 24/7. Make sure you get it replaced with a metal free ceramic like saremco brand, as replacing with normal composites or glass ionomers can lead to aluminium problems
Thank you for that info! Super helpful! I’ve found a biological dentistry office within 2 hours of our home and plan to inquire about their services tomorrow.
Truly! I am currently looking into having the amalgam filling removed. And am very sure that gene mutation is at play as well. This was a great read and I am genuinely happy for you that you discovered the path to recovery!!

I’ve come across many with mthfr who didn’t like alcohol anymore after getting their amalgams removed. I am one of them

I don't know about the gene thing. It does make sense when you put it that way.

Drinking silica water is not an emotional experience and is not callous. It simply removes aluminium from the body and other benefits too.

I absolutely agree with you!!!
Vegetables are very good at detoxifying metals from the body. Maybe that’s what the green smoothies are doing. I presume they are vegetable based.
That’s a great point! They are 75% greens. Then topped off with chia seeds, mango, pineapple, bananas sometimes ginger, and water. I am absolutely blown away at the impact these smoothies have had!
If your smoothies are working i wouldn't necessarily mess with a good thing, but you might want to look up the medical medium detox smoothie. it's made specifically for metal detox with chelating, binding, and antioxidant substances that work together synergistically.
I certainly will- thank you! 😊

Fillings** there are several 😬
That’s fantastic!
