HI
 

I am a new member. I posted a question in the bipolar forum and Kitty suggested I post here as well. My son is bipolar. has heavy metal poisoning. COpper, aluminum and mercury. Is on a detox program but had to be hospitalized again for psychosis and now is on zyprexa. I am wondering if he has fluoride poisoning as well because I heard that can cause bipolar. He had prescription vitamins with fluoride until he was a year old. he has white marks on his teeth which I read indicates fluoride poison. HE is losing his hair. he is just 22. Was always healthy it seems like overnight. Does anyone know anything about fluoride poisoning? They didnt test for it in hair sample or at hospital. Looking for answers please. thank you

Hi Hillary
 

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I am sorry your son is having such troubles. Getting DX with heavy metal posening usually happens at clinics like Mayo. That is where I was DX'd with auto immune problems related to mercury, and exposure to DDT as a child. My health went south at 29. I am not sure about floride poisen however and just who you should see regarding that. I have not heard that causes bi polar conditions. If you can get a referral to a big teaching hospital, or perhaps Mayo clinic, that may be a good option for you. Neruo Talk will be here for you. Don't hesitate to talk to anyone. You will meet some friends and get good support. Please tell your son he is welcome to post too. There are alot of good folks here. Welcome again, and feel at home. ginnie

Great to meet you!!
