hi im def! i have had one of my silver fillings taken out a month ago and am scheduled to have two more out this tuesday! after the first one was removed, i had very severe depression, and crying spells. my doc put me on ativan 1 mg as needed. this REALLY helped! i was a little leary at first but , i needed some help. After a few weeks he put me on 5htp, a natural plant extract that is suppossed to help cells make more seritonin. After taking it one night , horrible nightmares, in the am i was vomitting. i took it for a month and didnt see any change, still having crying spells. i called my local contact center and got evaluated. they ofcourse never heard of merc poisoning , but thought i could benefit from gruop therapy for the anxiety issues, i start tonight. im looking for a merc support group in south jersey, anyone know of one? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It sounds as if you had a large mercury exposure when the first amalgam was removed. I would make sure the dentist is removing the fillings using all the safety protocols necessary.

I would also taking Algin to help absorb the mercury that is getting redistributed. It may help alot. (all forum members get member pricing)

You may also try St. John's Wort for depression.

I don't know of any mercury support groups in your area but you could post this question on our main mercury support forum and see if someone else does:

I wish you the best of luck with your recovery.

Hi Anonymous.

Pharmaceuticals usually treat the symptoms and not the cause. Since they most of the time, don't do anything to get rid of a desease the desease gets worse. In fact pharmaceuticals in most cases make you more sickly because they lower your immune system the more you take them.

If you ever want to get well, stop seeing mainstream doctors and dentists and see a good Alternative doctor and/or Alternative medicine dentist with a good reputation instead!!! A good one will treat the cause of your illness by working on the whole body, not just the symptoms.

Also educated yourself about health by reading books about how toxins of any kind only lowers your immune system and eventually kills you if you continue with them. Pharmacecuticals, heavy metals and mercury amalgams, chemicals, processed foods, our toxic environment, etc, all are toxic, toxic, toxic!!! The last thing you need is more toxins from pharmaceuticals after you are already full of toxins from your amalgams!!! Prescription for nutritional healing, by James Balch M.D. and Phyliss Balch C.N.C. is an excellent book to start with.

I hope you will get better soon!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
