    It's actually called Blepharospasm which is a symptom of involuntary and uncontrollable movements in the muscles around a person's eyes which in turn make them appear like 'blinking non-stop' to other people.



    In certain cases, this may be caused by myasthenia (muscular weakness) in the eyes organ as a result of stresses, overstraining of the eyes, lacks of sleeps, the serious lacks of certain nutrients / minerals to support the normal functionings / movements of your eyelid muscles etc.



    Next, in the case whereby no stress, any kinds of infections, overstraining of the eyes etc are involved whilst the eyelids and the entire organs just look superficially normal and ok, and at the same time, the eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking just get 'unexplainedly' from bad to worse from time to time, such medical scenarios could actually be caused by other neuromuscular disorders which are much more complicated.



    And in terms of such neuromuscular disorders, they may arise as a neurological / Tardive Dyskinesia side effect of certain medications, especially the powerful mind-altering tranquilizers of antipsychotics / neuroleptics, particularly when such medications are over-relied on to the point of sheer abuse.



    In such a connection, please consider the following excerpts : -



    "Chlorpromazine side effects

    Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop taking chlorpromazine and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:


    twitching or uncontrollable movements of your eyes, lips, tongue, face, arms, or legs;"

    Follow Up : Tardive Dyskinesia



    Please consider the following excerpts about Tardive Dyskinesia ( of which one of the most common symptoms is purposeless uncontrollable rapid eye-blinking / eyelid-twitching)



    "Tardive dyskinesia is a variety of dyskinesia (involuntary, repetitive movements) manifesting as a side effect of long-term or high-dose use of dopamine antagonists, usually antipsychotics. Other dopamine antagonists that can cause tardive dyskinesia are drugs for gastrointestinal disorders (e.g. metoclopramide) and neurological disorders. While newer atypical antipsychotics such as olanzapine and risperidone appear to have less dystonic effects, only clozapine has been shown to have a lower risk of tardive dyskinesia than older antipsychotics"




    "Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements. Features of the disorder may include grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, puckering and pursing of the lips, and rapid eye blinking. Rapid movements of the extremities may also occur. Impaired movements of the fingers may also appear. For comparison, patients with Parkinson's disease have difficulty moving, while patients with tardive dyskinesia have difficulty not moving."

    Involuntary muscle twitches can also be cause by lack of magnesium. See the web site of Dr. Carolyn Dean, author of The Magnesium Miracle. http://www.carolyndean.com

    I forgot to add the fact that when one is mercury poisoned, it interfers with one's absorption of magnesium and other necessary minerals. I had all kind of strange symptoms when I became poisoned from my "silver" amalgam dental fillings which are actually 50% mercury.

    I have written about this on this site in an article called "What is Mercury Poisoning?"

    Yup I agree. And then such a medical scenario would then accordingly lead to myasthenia (muscular weakness) in the eyes organ due to the serious lacks of certain nutrients / minerals to support the normal functionings / movements of the eyelid muscles etc.



    In addition to that, invloluntary muscle twitches can also be caused by the interferences with / disturbances to the synaptic activities of the neurons widely-distributed in the miscellaneous nervous systems, by undermining their natural functions of producing smoothly-unimpeded, well co-ordinated bodily movements, including the eyes organ due to the nerve-disturbing side effects of certain medications, such as the case of Tardive Dyskinesia.



    As such, please refer to the prior posts above for further references and explanations.

    I have read about your article about mercury poisoning through that weblink that you have included.


    However, the medical case scenario of mercury poisoning that one has experienced such as what you have presented and elaborated in that article is actually quite a very rare medical case scenario compared to the clear-cut, direct and straightforward neurological / neuromuscular side effect of rapid purposeless uncontrollable eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking of Tardive Dyskinesia which is caused by the neurological / neuromuscular side effects of the powerful mind-altering tranquilizers of antipsychotics / neuroleptics meant for various mental disorders.


    Next, given that such medications (antipsychotics / neuroleptics) are pervasively and popularly prescribed nowadays for various mental disorders, the ones taking such medications are thus definitely facing a potential risk of getting themselves exposed to such neurological / neuromuscular side effects of such antipsychotics / neuroleptics, especially when such medications are over-relied upon to the point of sheer abuse.


    Besides, in contrast to the medical scenario of mercury poisoning which could absolutely and definitely be detected and diagnosed through various medical examinations, this would certainly not be the case at all for Tardive Dyskinesia.


    As such, for such chronic uncontrollable rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking caused by neurological / neuromuscular / Tardive Dyskinesia side effects of medications, the MRI / CT-scanning and any other related medical imaging / physical / miscellaneous medical examinations would not be able to conclusively detect, reveal and diagnose anything abnormal / problematic at all.


    This is actually because of the underlying fact that, for such bodily chemical imbalances caused by interferrences with / disturbances to the synaptic activities of the neurons / neurotransmitters chemicals such as dopamine (which are essential for co-ordinations of every bodily movement, including the eyes organ) etc -which are essentially and extremely liquidly, streamy, fine, subtle and faint, if not, highly transparent, by the related nerve-disturbing medications, such a medical scenario actually cannot be conclusively and definitely observed, detected and diagnosed by such MRI / CT-Scanning and any other related medical imaging / physical / miscellaneous medical examinations at all.


    Thus it is essentially the main reason why those people getting medication / Tardive dyskinesia-induced chronic purposeless uncontrollable rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking would not get any problematic medical diagnosis at all from any of such MRI / CT-scanning and any other related medical imaging / physical / miscellaneous medical examinations. In short, such medical examinations would just reveal nothing abnormal at all in the case of Tardive Dyskinesia.


    And the worst thing is that, some medical specialists would just get their abnormal rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking symptoms labelled as "undiagnosed medical conditions" and subsequently recommend them to take Botox injections to temporarily and indefinitely (3-6 months' effective period for each therapy session) solve their "undiagnosed" chronic rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking problems.


    Whilst in terms of Botox injections which are composed mainly of Botulinum toxin, Botox medications are actually medical derivatives from Clostridium botulinum bacterium (which causes botulism) that have been intentionally abused before for the purpose of chemical warfare owing to its intense toxicity.

    "Group seeks Botox warning following 16 deaths" - Follow-up :



    Related news report :


    http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1422626#i



    Now, let's consider the following excerpts about Botox medications :



    "The consumer group Public Citizen says from 1997 to 2006 16 people died from Botox injections, four of them under the age of 18. "




    "The report also found that 658 patients suffered adverse effects from Botox and 87 of them had to be hospitalized.

    Levine says cosmetic Botox is relatively safe if you have a good doctor, but says as the use of Botulin toxin increases so does the risk for complications.

    The FDA would not comment on the report. "

    Further Information On Fatalities of Botox Medications / Injections



    Please consider the following excerpts about the fatalities of Botox Medications / Injections :


    "Aspiration Pneumonia a Botox Reaction:


    Aspiration pneumonia is a serious infection of the lungs that’s the result of inhaling foreign materials, which the lung is unable to expel easily. When the lungs are unable to remove a substance, fluid builds up in the lungs and an infection results. Apparently, this condition is linked to Botox injections because minute particles of the substance in Botox is finding its way into patients’ lungs.


    ^ Back To Top


    Partial Paralysis from Botox Injections:


    The second side effect that’s allegedly linked to Botox injections is partial paralysis. Although the link has yet to be definitively proven in a full laboratory study, it’s alleged by some that when the Botox injection leaks into such areas as the esophagus, it can lead to partial paralysis, and this partial paralysis is as of now of indefinite duration.


    ^ Back To Top

    Botox Death Reported:


    Of the 180 reports tracked by Public Citizen, 16 people died, and four were under the age of 18. Obviously, there is no need to describe this condition, but if you are experiencing muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech or droopy eyelids, seek immediate medical attention.


    ^ Back To Top


    Your Next Step if Injured from Botox:


    As you see, Botox injections are not completely safe, at least according to Public Citizen and the 87 people who were hospitalized from the 180 who were studied. If you have been injured as a result of a Botox treatment, contact a defective products attorney immediately to schedule an initial consultation. "

    disorders.

    Now I am replying:

    I am not discounting the number of people affected by these neurological drugs, but there actually may be more people with mercury dental fillings than people taking psycho drugs. But let's not argue over the numbers. I just want to point out the dangers and the incidences of mercury toxicity from mercury fillings.

    Every person with amalgam in their mouths, may not react as I did with my brain on fire, and so on, but many people are being poisoned every day when dentists drill out old amalgam fillings. Dr. Boyd Haley, former Chair of the Chemistry Department at the University of Kentucky says, "Dentists are giving people neurological diseases everyday."

    Three ways to be poisoned from mercury dental fillings include:
    1) drilling out an old filling and breathing the mercury vapor and it going into your brain and causing a neurological disease.

    2) Experiencing oral galvanism from dissimilar metals in the mouth:

    If a dentist puts a gold crown over top of a mercury filling, this sets up a battery like effect that will cause the mercury to be dissolved and come out ever faster. The same thing occurs with a metal based crown, like the porcelain fused to metal crowns that dentists use--the kind with the little gray line around the bottom of the crown. The base of the crown has nickel in it and the person starts tasting metal from these dissimilar metals. This means they are being poisoned when they taste metal.

    Also teenagers can be poisoned from the combination of metal braces coming into contact with mercury fillings and causing the oral galvanism.

    3) Mercury accumulates in the body over years of exposure to them leaking into the body while brushing teeth, drinking hot liquids, having teeth fillings cleaned, etc. IF a person has another toxic exposure, such as mold, working around chemicals, or taking a vaccine with mercury or other additives in it, then the body may reach a point where they can no longer excrete heavy metals and they become poisoned.


    I am an Activist and Board member of DAMS, Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions, an international organization of people poisoned from their fillings. So I receive emails and phone calls most every day from someone poisoned. The World Health Organization reported that mercury from dental fillings is the largest source of mercury toxicity, more than fish, or the environment, if the person has the amalgam fillings.

    But I caution people---don't just rush out and have fillings removed by just any dentist, especially the one who put in the mercury in the first place, because they will poison you even more. DAMS helps people find safe dentists who will use special equipment and precautions so they won't be exposed to more mercury vapor.

    Before having even one filling removed, or placing even one crown or bridgework, people need to research this. Dentists are using materials like palladium and nickel and other toxic metals in the mouth in crowns and bridgework and people are becoming deathly sick. Some can even die if they develop a disease like ALS or Lou Gerigs's.

    We can help a person find a biological mercury free dentist. They use safe protocols to remove the mercury and replace it with bio compatible materials. However, not all the sites listed on the internet can be trusted that have lists of biological or mercury free dentists. Some of the dentists just want their names listed but are not following safe protocols to remove the mercury. DAMS screens the dentists to make sure they are following safe protocols.

    A local mercury free dentist may not be mercury safe while removing old mercury fillings.

    I cautioned a woman about using a safe biological dentist. She tested high for mercury but went to her local mercury free dentist to have 3 fillings removed. He was mercury free but not mercury safe. I just spoke to her and she told me after he removed those 3 fillings, now one of her eyes is drooping. Her memory is so bad she can barely function and she also continues to eat tuna fish which is loaded with mercury.

    There is a lot to learn to avoid toxic dentistry.

    See www.MercuryPoisoned.com or contact DAMS at 1-651-644-4572 for an info packet and speak to the executive director, Leo Cashman. He will supply a list of dentists for you that will be safe.
