Seizures and mercury and thyroid

by

I found a couple of interesting links on seizures…

A large epidemiological study by the National Institute of Health, the nation’s principal health statistics agency,  found a significant correlation between having a larger number of amalgam fillings and people suffering from conditions such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy 24. Fewer of those with these conditions have zero fillings than those of the general population while more of those with the condition have 17 or more amalgam surfaces than in the general population.   Other studies have found similar connections between vaccinations containing mercury and epilepsy.23,3,25

 

Thyroiditis and seizures. 

Seizures and mercury toxicity.  Wow. Just wow.

…and the leaky gut syndrome connection.  But not one damn doctor will ask a patient about diet.  Nor will he/she even consider mercury toxicity as a cause.  But yeah, they’ll be only more too happy to put strobe lights in a patient’s face and then send them a bill for $$$ for the pleasure of causing such pain….

The GAPS diet

by

Here’s the link to the GAPS diet that Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride talked about in the video I posted earlier.

It’s great that she is willing to help others when she could keep the diet to only those able to pay for doctor visits.  She states as much in the video that she has many, many people come to her for consultation, but she wishes to help others, so posted this online.  Good for her.

The only thing that I question is the nuts and seeds –I had been eating sunflower and pumpkin seeds in-between meals to help with my roller-coaster sugar levels three years ago and my son had mentioned that he’d read seeds tear up the gut.  I had noticed that I was more tender after eating the seeds, so I stopped, not realizing that it was a bigger problem, including wheat, rye, barley, and oats.  So…I’m questioning the nuts and seeds’ effects on the gut.

Of course, I also question recommending fish.  I just don’t understand the logic behind it–professionals who know that there are high levels of mercury in fish, and yet still think it’s okay to eat?  I just don’t get it.
