The Mercury Cowgirl

For decades I suffered, but finally I found answers.

Welcome to my journey overcoming Hg toxicity and life in Big Sky country!

Through the Years

As a kid, I didn't think about my health. Nobody does at that age. I lived a normal life, just like all of my friends and neighbor ranch kids. In high school, I did have a terrible car accident that caused physical issues for me but I didn't realize the damage from my Hg fillings and my environment would eventually terrorize my health. I searched for answers for years: medical doctors, naturopathic doctors, dentists, functional medicine doctors, you name it... I met with them. Nobody had answers and in fact, many thought I was crazy. My blood work would show as “normal,” my blood pressure was low, and my liver enzymes were “normal” to name a few… but I kept having issues crop up, some of them I didn't even realize were happening! As a magnet on my refrigerator continues to remind me, "You are poisoned. You are not CRAZY." I was determined to get the answers!

It has taken me YEARS to find this path. In early 2020 I was working in an incredibly toxic, stressful corporate job and didn't have space in my calendar over the span of three years to attend to my failing health. I finally said “ENOUGH!” I scheduled a thermography scan ($425 - not covered by insurance, by the way) because I just wasn't finding answers. Anywhere. This scan senses heat areas in the body that might show infection. Many women use this scan in place of a mammogram as there is no radiation in this procedure… just you, your naked body, and a camera. As it turns out, a heat spot was located on my right jaw line, right where I had a metal implant as well as Hg fillings. The radiologist reading this image asked me if I had ever worked with a “biologic dentist” as they could help discover any issues that could be presented in this heat/infection area. Nope. In fact, I had never even heard of biologic dentistry. Long story short, at the time, there were only two practicing in Montana. I met with both of them and immediately started a plan with Dr. Todd Kinney, in Bozeman, MT, to remove the remaining metal from my mouth. That was the first step. GET THAT METAL OUT of my mouth! Next step - get that metal out of the cells in my body!

I'm doing oral chelation to remove the Hg and other metals from my body. It's a weekly arduous process and very time consuming. But, it's working! Like, truly working! When I started, I made a lot of errors, just as many in my shoes have done. But, the protocol I have used for over 100 weeks now is working. My symptoms and illnesses are going away, one by one. My inflammation is going away. I'm regaining energy and brain power. I'm reclaiming my life! I'll be sure to keep the updates coming!
