Biography
I'm a thirty-something attorney and engineer who has spent the past seven years battling fallout from mercury toxicity (although I certainly didn't know it at the time). I went the normal route of seeing doctors and more doctors, specialist after specialist -- to the tune of well over $100k on medical visits and tests. You name the test, I've had it. Plus two surgeries. I have had so many things going wrong at once that no one had a clue what was wrong with me, despite the fact I had previously been a healthy and normal twenty-something. And, although I got to see some of the best specialists in the world, they were -- of course -- focused on their speciality, and therefore not making links with my other issues. I tried a ton of "alternative" treatments, too, and chased down theory after theory, drug after drug, and treatment after treatment, some of which were helpful and most of which were not. Throughout it all, despite the despair and loss of confidence in my own body ("let's see, what system will break down today..."), I just *knew* there had to be a logical, master explanation for everything. And that I would not have to live with the pain and the problems, unlike what so many people are told today....
And, eventually, I discovered (through happenstance) the theory of mercury toxicity. But, it sounded too "fringe" initially, as I'm a very logical, scientific type. But a toxicity test (in this case, a "hair test") suddenly made things seem not so fringe at all. And, after having my amalgams removed and starting "chelation" (which means to pull toxic metals out of the body), I realized, within weeks, that this issue was at the heart of my problems. My case was further bolstered when I did a retrospective analysis of the chronology of my health problems, and realized that my various problems had really started within 4-6 weeks of three separate Hepatitis B vaccines (i.e., different problems had cropped up immediately following different Hep B vaccine shots, tracking exactly the one-year spacing between the shots). The timing was just too hard to ignore.
Then I started looking into the science, which I needed to understand to believe that this could be true. I was pretty shocked to learn that through a voluntary vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS), the government logged 24,775 adverse events to the Hep B vaccine in roughly the first eight years it was administered (1990-1998). I got my Hep B vaccines in 1998-1999, but didn't realize that my declining health was due in part to the vaccine, which probably explains why it is estimated that only 10% of adverse events are actually reported through VAERS. That means that the actual total of adverse events for the Hep B vaccine from 1990-1998 might be closer to 250,000! This fact, and the overwhelming amount of scientific papers on mercury toxicity, including mercury release from amalgams and methylmercury toxicity from fish, pretty much floored me and made me realize it is not a "fringe" problem at all. Also, the sheer toxicity from mercury, the second most toxic (non-radioactive) substance on Earth, started making me think that maybe there was a single unifying cause of all my problems after all....
