Most of you are aware about my plummeting 6 months ago after getting a massive Hg dose during removal of 2 fillings (out of 7) and consequent neurologocial and psychiatric symptoms.

And thee is something to this I don't understand. Before that removal Imy body was naturally detoxng from mercury - I could take antioxidants and could feel the herxheimer reaction instantly and I got all those mercury symptoms: tremor in hands, skin itching, getting hot, lots of muscle twitches burning urine, brain fog and feeling kidney and liver overload/pain all the time.(i considered it good, though unpleasant, as a sign my body was eliminating those toxins.)

Now I remember that after poisoning myself at the dental office I would be getting those symptoms for the next 4 weeks or so, but then they mostly stopped !!! YET at the same time my brain symptoms were rising more and more.

The way it looks now is that I have severe neurological and psychiatric changes, poor iq, non exstant memory, senses blunting, but all of those symptoms like muscle twitches etc are gone! If I didn't know better I would say I'm 100% mental as no symptoms other than mental indicate otherwise.

Thats what I dont understand - If I'm so toxic as it seems than why the hell I'm not getting those kidney and liver pains any more? How come I'm not getting almost no typical detox symptoms when taking antioxidants ? I went through a bottle of NCD and mamny people couldn't handle 3 drops cause it was overwhelimng and I was taking like 9 drops at a time and didn't feel any change at all.
I don't even feel that much fatigue as before, as I say my symptoms got purely mental. I was also severly balding a couple of months ago and since about a months or so I seems to just have stopped.

Yet, I feel worse than ever and it's impossible with how I feel that I have no mercury in my body, with just the brain with high storage.
Or is my body so posioned that it doesn't release mercury on its own at all?

jinx, same thing happened to me. I used to get that herximer reaction as well and I KNEW things were happening, yet now I remain chornically sick but do not get that "healthy die off" sensation.

It's like my body no longer heals. I stay the same. I have no idea why! Your post rang big bells with me. I know exactly what you mean, that "good" feeling you get from going through that herx and you just KNOW things are working.

But this? Is FAR worse, it's like you feel as though you're in a stupor, that things are at a standstill and no matte what you do or use, nothing happens. Or if it does, no change in outcome.

It's like being partly dead basically. I think what must happen is, the body becomes overloaded, depending on how many toxins have happened in too short a space of time. And then it becomes almost unable to do a thing. THat's how I feel.

It scares me a lot. Many times I want to just opt out becuase I KNOW that no matter what someone suggests, it won't work, you just instinctively feel a shut down in the body and I have spent so much money doing so many things, yet to no avail.

Yet once? I'd geta massive herx from it and you could tell things were happening, nt always easy, but rewarding in many ways.

This is like the kiss of death. Existing, but not living. HOw did this happen? Hell, I have no idea. It's never been there before in my life, I have ALWAYS responded in the past to diets and detoxes. But something shut down after getting some work done on my mouth in 2004. Everything went dead from there. And it's never been the same.

NOw I am worse than ever. Little things I might have finally responded to, even they have gone. Brain toxicity might be a lot of it. because I certainly am not responding to any bodily detox. Nothing happens.

I could try ALA I guess, but right now I am attempting to get candida under control and don't want to do anything just yet. If things don't improve in a week or so, I'll have to do something. Even diet isn't helpnig this time.

This could be something Huggins calls retention toxicity (if I remember rightly). I think he basically says the more toxic you become, the less your body can excrete, because the mercury messes up the detox pathways (kidneys, liver etc). It may be that having the two filling removed without any precautions tipped your body over the edge, and now it can't detox at the same rate as it could before. The mercury will also be lodging in your CNS. The only thing is to have all amalgams removed, work on your detox pathways and diet to get elimination going, and hopefully the dam will open.

That's the theory. I know you have a problem getting your amalgams removed jinx. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. You need to travel somewhere like Germany where even regular dentists take good precautions for mercury removal. I don't know what else to suggest, sorry.

Jinx, the same thing happened to me, when i had my first 2 done i wasnt protected much and ended up with all mental symptoms, ive always had a few muscle twitches but its mostly mental or headaches. I really thought i had alzeimers, i told my mum that i got it cos she knows all about it as my dad got it at 55yrs old.
If it wasnt for changing thyroid meds i know i wouldnt have been able to carry on.

I read somewhere that mercury will leave your body over a period of some months, but it takes 10-15 years for it to leave your brain.

for that specific reason, I eat a little bit of fresh cilantro (organic is great but use whatever you can find fresh at the local grocery mine in the fridge is not organic and is ok, wash it first) and then take an oral DMSA chelation formula, 2 or 3 tabs at the same time as the cilantro. Maybe a couple more if I wake up during the night. I do this on an empty stomach and it keeps my head feeling pretty clear, no headaches.

The headaches come right back if I stop so i do this almost every evening before bed. I don't generally take any chelators during the day because they can interfere with your body being able to absorb good nutrients. i think the selenium helps my head feel better too. and cod liver oil (mercury free).

If you are taking Vitamin C, highly recommended with DMSA, be sure to take it a good few hours ahead of the cilantro, used together they are too strong. learned that the hard way, severe night sweats when I do take them together by mistake now and then, but no other lasting side effects... got to wash the sheets and shower a lot hmmm.

B vitamis are good for the head, eggs are brain food too. soft boiled is real good for you, not hard boiled. Some whole wheat toast, some of that really yummy xylitol rasberry jam... just trying to make you hungry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

I think if you check the ingredients, cilantro and chlorella are the main ingredients in NCD unless I have it confused with another product. It sounds like good stuff, I've never used it because the cilantro/DMSA really does work quite well for me. and I still do have amalgams too.
