tx w/acupuncture of MS symptoms from dental fillings

[Guest guest]

I recently received a phone call from a potential patient. She is a 53 year-old

woman who

has been experiencing MS-like symptoms for the past 5ish years. She claims that

the

symptoms came about from the presence of mercury in her dental fillings. She

has since had

her fillings removed, but the symptoms have not disappeared. Her main symptom

is very

tired/weak legs and lower body. Her symptoms have been mostly steady or

slightly

improved since she got her fillings removed.

 

She asked me if acupuncture could help improve her symptoms. Her concern is

that she was

treated with homeopathy, and she claims that is stirred up some of the dormant

mercury in

her body, thus exacerbating the symptoms and making them notably worse. I have

never

treated a patient with MS-like symptoms from the mercury toxicity. Acupuncture

is designed

to free the flow of qi and blood in the body. Can it, too, stir up dormant

mercury and cause

her symptoms to worsen?

 

Is anyone familiar with this type of case and can give me some advice?

 

Thanks,

Kelly
