Hi Tgoss, thanks for the encouragement. Stupidly, I have been eating more sugar than usual and got sicker today and the viral symptoms get worse and I start coughing and all the symptoms begin to intensify, so I'm not overly happy with myself right now (still taking antibiotics). I just hope I haven't stuffed things up.

Yeah, definitely. About six months after removal (or longer for some), Many, in fact most people begin to worsen. It's known as the second phase of suffering . I've read about it many times now and I've experienced it myself (long ago when I had amalgams). I had them all removed and got worse immediately following my last removal because I swallowed mercury, so was poisoned at that time and had tremors and was made very ill. However, I did improve from it later on.

Nothing prepared me for the second stage of suffering that was about to hit me. I had NO idea this could happen. Once all amalgams have been removed, some people feel the same or some feel better and think they're cured or symptoms can go into remission (some do get worse though if they've been directly overexposed to vapor during removal). At any rate, about half a year later, due to having had no more daily exposure to mercury from having amalgams, the body begins to recognise this and instead of being in "storage mode", will start to go into "dumping mode" and will begin to dump it's stored mercury back into the blood stream.

This phenomenon can devastate people. Because the mercury that's been stored/absorbed all those years starts to leak back out and fill you right up. It's like being repoisoned and can make a person feel even worse than they felt WITH amalgams in their teeth.

So, the way to help this and speed this process up is getting hold of DMSA (you can get it online) and taking about 25 mg of it (more or less, depending on a person's tolerance) and taking it every four hours around the clock (even throughout the night) for about 3 days (or longer, up to a week) and taking a few days break and repeating this cycle over and over for a few months until levels of mercury are reduced.

Once a person has reduced their blood/tissue mercury after months of DMSA, they can add alpha lipoic acid to the regime (can still take DMSA at the sametime, or can use alpha lipoic acid on its own if they want, but better taken with DMSA to help with side effects etc). Taken the same way (or even more often, every 3 hours in some cases) and used 3 days on and 3 days off and taken like that basically until hte person is completely cured. This can take six months - two years or so. Most feel better pretty quickly, but have to keep using it to make sure that al lthe mercury is removed, or it can build up again because it's still leaking out of the organs. So it's good to continue chelating for about a year or so AFTER you think you're cured to make certain.

This is the probably the safest mercury detox I have heard of so far.

And the candida diet? That can be essential to help health and symptoms also. You basically stop eating any sugar at all, stop eating any foods with yeast and any foods with gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats etc).

You may have to limit or eliminate fruit and milk also due to the natural sugars, though some people can still include them on a limited basis. Those who are worse, may need to eliminate them completely until they have things more under control.

Candida usually goes hand in hand with mercury poisoning. it can cause enough symptoms on its own to cause enough misery, let alone alongside mercury toxicity. So some people increase their misery by allowing candida to remain at too higher levels in their body.

If you eliminate those above things, the body is then able to begin reducing candida naturally. The candida will start to starve to death gradually, it will get sick and begin to die. When this happens a person can feel pretty revolting sometimes because the yeast cells will be released into the system and disgarded and can make you feel worse for a while until the body has eliminated it.

I basically stick to eating the following foods: Plain acidophilus yoghurt, some raw nuts (brazil and almonds), meat, vegetables (limit or eliminate white potatoes though), limited cereal foods (like some corn maybe, some brown rice, not too much), eggs etc. I drink water or herbal tea and don't add milk to anything. I eat a piece of fruit if I can sometimes, but not if I'm particularly bad.

I hope that helps a little bit. Its hard to try and balance everything, but it is crucial. If I don't stick to this diet, I go down hill even further and things can get far worse because sometimes you do not know whether the depression comes from candida overgrowth or mercury or both.

DMSA is crucial too, it will start to reduce the mercury leaking back into your blood stream.

(glad to hear you're feeling a bit better though, I'm sure if was the glutathioine, but you might be also getting that second stage of suffering too).

It's horrible to try and control symptoms with this toxicity! Makes grown men cry. That's how horrible this poison is.

God bless.
