Emily, is working on her Bachelor’s Degree in Nutritional Science and is looking forward to completing a PhD in the same field a few years after graduation. Emily has been sensitive to metals her whole life, starting with a severe allergy to earrings and other jewelry as a child. In early 2019 she was talked into getting her nose pierced by a friend and was SUPER excited. Even picking out cute nose rings. Within months of that nose piercing Emily developed multiple autoimmune diseases and suffered with the debilitating effects of Trigeminal Neuralgia, a syndrome nicknamed “The Suicide Disease” creating painful nerve sensations on the face. She also suffered from an onset of joint pain, repeated sore throats and swelling of her lymph nodes, as well as all kinds of tenderness surrounding the area. Around the same time frame Emily started noticing increase symptoms from several mercury fillings in her mouth, experiencing a large “flair” when the fillings were removed and likely swallowing a small piece of the extracted filling during removal. Symptoms from her fillings were most notably a metallic taste in her mouth, among others. Emily also shares experiences where her body actually pushed out an IUD device, and relays stories of her throat becoming sore when drinking from stainless steel water bottles and starting to feel unwell from a gifted set of new stainless steel cookware. She is still trying to discern whether or not a surgical clip was left in place during a 2017 appendectomy. She experienced a substantial, indisputable relief of her Trigeminal Neuralgia and other symptoms upon removing the nose ring for an unrelated surgical procedure, along with having her metal fillings removed. Tune in to hear the rest of her compelling story!  In this episode you will learn: How small amounts of metal can wreak BIG havoc on the body & immune system.  How to safely remove dental amalgams.
