Please Consider Mercury as a Cause

[Joe Keleher]

I have my own perspective on Morgellons/NCS. I had many of the symptoms described, followed protocols and suggestions made by Dr. Omar Amin as well as Dr. Bruce Shelton. I wrote up what I went through (published in Explore! medical journal). I also wrote a second piece for Explore! presenting possible mercury exposure connections to historic cases (in London and Languedoc region of France-note I do believe the historic symptoms are similar to today’s. I have a background as a professional archaeologist). I have been detoxing for over two year and presently have no related symptoms except for occasional twitches at the base of my feet.

I think the condition is due to mercury as a neurotoxin. I speculate dental adhesives as well as methamphetamines act as carriers of mercury into the nervous system (I have not used meth. I think the well documented “delusional parasitosis” found with meth addicts may be a symptom of toxicity). In cleaning the toxins out of my system, I had my amalgam fillings removed (primary deposits) and have aggressively approached the removal of secondary deposits (through chelation, exercise, diet, etc.). The level of mercury and individual sensitivity may create the variation in documented cases.

I have read postings stating the beginning of symptoms with the removal of dental materials. When removing the primary source of toxins, the secondary levels can and often do increase. The secondary deposits throughout the body I believe cause the symptoms (they need to be removed to reduce/end symptoms).

In comparing mercury poisoning symptoms with Morgellons or NCS, there are two symptoms that stand out as different- the crawling sensation and the fibers. I think the crawling is due to mercury pushing/pulling through the nerves(I felt the crawling mechanical or robotic). Mercury moving from one spider-shaped cell to another might have a kind of cartoon-effect causing the sensation of something crawling/twitching under the skin. The fibers could be the result of nerve cell repair…something like a scab created by nerve cell repair and building up into a fiber which can poke through the skin.

Mercury can be passed from mother to unborn child. The Languedoc cases appear to be prenatal. This may account for several family members having symptoms. Also environmental exposure to mercury such as gold or silver mining (mercury used in process and can get into water passing through tailing), fish contains mercury, and some cosmetics from Mexico could increase the toxin to a significant level.

While I still am actively detoxing, I plan to begin efforts towards nerve repairs this coming fall. I suspect I’ll be working on cleaning out my system for another 2 years or so.

I know how the crawling symptoms feel. I told the medical professional I first worked with that “I can count the legs on the bugs as they are crawling around”. It is not funny. It really is an awful condition! Please consider mercury as a possible cause. For those suffering, I hope you can find your way to health.

Hi Joe,

Quite a few have commented on how they believe that Mercury (thru fillings or vaccination perservatives, seafood, etc.) is involved and especially on Baraka's video where he captures "Morgellons Forming", the one named "numba3 mpeg4" is the better one to show this, IMO - have you seen his incredible video?

The formation process looks very 'Mercurial'... if you don't know where to find it - we can possibly bring it over here - I'd love to hear your comment on it!?

Joe -

Do you have a link to the article(s) you mention? Or can you make a PDF available? Did you use the word "Morgellons"?
I have many other thoughts but will wait till tomorrow to write them.

Hi again, Joe,

Here's my 2 cents worth... I personally think Mercury is involved, but, not necessarily the cause. I believe it is a 'catalyst' that causes the Morgellons to either become evident, to become more evident, or to cause Morgellons to spread at a faster rate.

Here's Baraka's videos below, (I hope that was ok, Baraka, to bring them over here?)

We're a group of 'backyard' scientists that have microscopically captured a disease process in video form. We believe it is in the Materials Science field, Polymer Chemistry, Physics and/or Engineering, we need help in verifying the process in this video by a professional in this field? We believe we are seeing free radical polymerization?

Hi Joe!
It's your old pal Kritts! ....

I appreciate your tenacity and maybe we'll be able to see that it is mercury. I want to point out the previous threads on this with your exchanges (for the new members):

Letter Presenting Thoughts on Morgellons

DENTAL TOXICITY. Have you had dental work? Sealant?

Mercury could very well be the 'it' toxin! I agree with Kam that Baraka's video seems very mercurial. I think I might have even mentioned that. I used to play with the mercury that came from a broken (glass) thermometer when I was a wee child about 150 years ago, it seems. Brilliant, huh? Who knew?

I'll be willing to bet there are properties to mercury scientists don't even know about yet. Even cancer might be a result...who knows?

Anyway, thanks for bringing this up again. We should revisit how it is involved.

By the way, have the fibers been examined in NCS? Also, what do you think about the association with so many people being tested positive for Lyme disease?

Welcome back!

Mercury could "help" push it along, but it is not the cause. Children who've had no dental work have this, my cat has it, etc.

I think that there are probably millions of people who have Morgellons, but it is in a "dormant" state, and a series of toxic exposures will express it. Mercury may be one of them, but I didn't have a full breakout of Morgellons until at least 15 years after any dental work...but....I was exposed to dirt, mold, mites, pesticides, and lots of prescription medication in the 2-3 years prior to Morgellons.

Any thorough detox regimen, including purified water and organic foods, chelation therapy, building up your overall health, staying away from all sorts of chemicals (including medications and cleaning supplies), FarInfrared therapy, etc, will bring improvement. Maybe put it back in a subclinical state, such as mine is.

ps - meant to add that it is not just mercury that Dr. Amin thinks is involved. He has a list of various dental materials (I contacted him once)

Check this out, SS....

Mercury poisoning:

Vaccinations....atmospheric mercury toxins.....passing mercury to the fetus.....

But Joe, we need to find out the relation to the huge fibers which have been scientifically scrutinized and not determined to be identifiable. Also, how do you account for the flies coming from some people's skin, the gelatinous masses, the assiciation with Lyme disease, the metal etc.? Can you put all of this together?

Here's a quote from that link, Joe...which is why we say it's not Morgellons, but can be part of or the cause.......

"Mercury can enhance the prevalence of multiple antibiotic resistant intestinal bacteria."

Also, everyone...check this out:

"Dentists, who collectively use 300 metric tons of mercury in amalgams each year and who often have two to five times the typical concentration of mercury in their urine, experience subtle neural and behavioral anomalies."

I was just telling a friend the other day that I remember 3 local dentists a while ago all dying of cancer and my thinking it had to be mercury related. (and/or x-ray exposure, of course).

We're definitely seeing something that is 'seed-like' that is the starting point the process in Baraka's video in two of the main aspects of Morgellons - the specks and fiber network and also, in my microscopic photos, I am seeing a particular seed that is similiar to Baraka's, over and over, with every human specimen.

This seed has been identified as being in the cyanobacteria family, however, it doesn't match the known photographs of this seed exactly, leaving us to believe we might be dealing with a mutated form or it will take an expert Marine Biologist to verify its identity, however, we believe we are close and hopefully - exact.

What's interesting is that this seed is not known to have mercurial properties in nature. Since it is marine (and fresh water too), it could be that it has mutated by the absorption of high amounts of mercury known to be concentrated in certain geographical locations in our oceans? And, possibly with the addition of other mercurial factors that is causing it to 'explode' (a characteristic of Mercury's spinoffs) in Baraka's video?

From what little bit I understand about this disease, I believe it is highly complex and that we are going to be in for a big disappointment this August from the CDC in their findings report. I cannot imagine that the CDC could compile as much information about this disease as seems to be present with the small amount of dollars that has been allocated. I think we need to keep digging and searching and not count on them for the answers we're going to need anytime soon. I hope for all of our sakes, that I am wrong.

It seems to me that if Mercury was the cause, that we would have more fixed symptoms that remain constant such as in someone who is suffering from heavy metal poisoning? From what I am understanding and living is that Morgellons starts us out with a feeling that we are in a heavy metal poisoning state, and then for fairly healthy people, we eventually start feeling better over time.

[Kritters]

So well put, Kam....

The mercury could be the mutating factor, facilitator or accomplice? Mercury, agrobacterium, fungus (Candida or one of the other bazillion possible fungi) cyanobacteria, the herpes virus...........what did I leave out? Oh....mycoplasma (in Lyme)...

Just trying to get things straight in my own mind. Mercury could very well be the devil in the red dress.

I've been googling associations for a bit tonite and it seems at least the reason for my 36 month pregnant stomach LOL.

I'm going to resume my chelation therapy pronto.

TY, Kritts, I also agree that it appears that all of the factors you've mentioned above seem to be involved, this is not simple subject matter, by any means. And, we could easily add a couple more too? Well said.
