>Dear Dentally-Aware Community,

>

>I have been treating some women with chronic pelvic pain (vulvodynia and

>coccydynia) and want to ask for comments about the connection of mercury

>to chronic pelvic pain.

>

>My patients have mercury fillings. One has just started having her mercury

>removed and within a couple days after the mercury was removed from the

>first quadrant she had tremendous worsening of her symptoms of vulvodynia.

>Checking the internet there are several sites for support and information

>about pelvic pain; one had a note from a woman who dated the start of her

>chronic pelvic pain to the day she inserted a tampon at age

>16. I heard years ago that one of the unlisted ingredients in tampons was

>mercury (as the antimicrobial " thimersol " ). Maybe her pain and that of

>many other women could be related to mercury in tampons (and possibly pads

>as well if these contain mercury).

>

>I would appreciate any input you can give. If you agree to, I would like

>to compile the information I receive in response to this email [names

>removed] for possible use in future clinical research and publication. I

>have seen significant improvement in these women using a combination of

>techniques that seems to be more comprehensive than what is currently

>being promoted. It is my hypothesis that addressing mercury in these and

>other patients may lead to a deeper relief and possible cure for CPP.

>

>For your information, I will include some internet links below:

>

>1) Article online about unspoken problem of CPP [Chronic Pelvic Pain]:

>http://bodysoul.chickclick.com/articles/859p1.html

>

>2) On Pelvic floor therapies: http://www.ic-network.com/handbook/pelvic.html

>

>3) Interview with Dr. Jerome Weiss:

>http://www.obgyn.net/avtranscripts/stones_weiss.htm

>

>One of my patients went to California and received the treatment that Dr.

>Weiss offers. Again, I want to caution that while these clinics may offer

>more than one approach (Dr. Weiss includes acupuncture sometimes), there

>may be additional things that are needed to fully address the situation.

>If you see one of the practitioners listed on the internet and do not get

>complete relief, you are invited to contact me. I hope that our

>information about the contribution of mercury (and maybe other heavy

>metals) will eventually help all doctors to be able to deliver

>comprehensive care for the different presentations of this debilitating

>condition.

>

>Sincerely,

>

>Ralph Wilson, N.D., M.S. Acupuncture
