you may have heard of this before as there are many sites with this on it,
but there may be a connection with mercury as a cause
many years ago I had mercury amalgams put in and within three weeks I woke up with a swollen tongue,
after a few months that went down but for years I had really bad difficulty in swallowing, even liquid , or just plain gulping,
I considered the cause might be the fillings then thought that was a silly Idea as the health service woould not put something into a persons body that would harm them,
years later I found out about the mercury vapors that come off them from the television and news,
I still have them in and am tryng to get them all safley replaced with non toxic materials,
as conformation of my fears I told my brother about this being the cause of my problems,
and he reminded me that a few years ago he had the newer fillings in and they were fine,
but as a rear moler on his left jaw was broken , the dentist put in a mercury filling, because she said it may have to come out anyway , and was using the cheaper amalgam in case it was later extracted,
well his tongue swelled up on that side at the back just by that mercury filling,
he thought it may have a rough edge or something that was causing it,
he also had the same metallic taste that I had when my fillings were fisrst put in,
his daughter complained about his dribbling when they were out in his car,
and he was always apologising for spittle coming out of his mouth ,
and had difficulty in speaking properly due to his tongue being swollen on one side,
this carried on for the couple of months until he went back to the dentist, and she said it had to come out,
once the mercury filling was removed the swelling in his tongue went down and the dribbling stopped,
he has not had any problems since,
where as my problems flare up regulary, but not so bad because of the vitamins and minerals I take that help soak up the mercury and pass it out of my system,
a few of these are selinium, zinc, vit B's, vit C, and vit E, in fack all the anti oxidents help,
also foods that contain sulper, like cabbages broccoli onions garlic, eggs ect,
up to 80% of the mercury vapor that comes of the mercury amalgams is absorbed by the body when taken into the lungs
have a look in google for mercury amalgams and other names for it in google,
the university of calgary has an interesting film of the effects of mercury on brain cells, there is nothing gory in the film they use a microscopic bit of animal tissue
the double whammy is they used a form of mercury in vaccinations as a preservative,
so multiple vaccinations can give you a really big dose of it,
there are reports that Sickle Cell was virtually unknown untill the introduction of the amalgams,
and autism appeard after the vaccines were preserved with the mercury containing preservative,
take a look at the side effect of mercury and mercury amalgams and vaccines on the web,
I hope this helps someone,
