That is interesting, Tracey. There clearly must have been a trigger for you. Are you sure that amalgam is the most likely culprit? Don't get me wrong, I totally and absolutely believe it causes systematic poisoning, but maybe is not the culprit for everyone (we live in a very toxic world generally and I don't think we can automatically assume mercury toxicity is the cause for every problem). For me, I had serious symtoms of toxicity within months of having amalgams and the more amalgams I got the sicker I was. So, there was an absolute correlation between amalgams and my health.

Of course, other people might not be sick for some time as they are not sensitive, just slow excreters. This means it could take some years before they show signs of toxicity - the level in their system needs to build up to toxic levels.

Can you think of anything that has happened in the past 2 years that caused the problems? Did you have any amalgams removed without precautions around the time (or some weeks before) you got sick? You said somewhere else about having a root canal? How many years did you have amalgams before you started to get sick?

It might be worth exploring other possible toxicities - just incase for you it is something else that is causes the problems. I'm not saying it is, but just worth exploring. It could just be that your body didn't react as quickly to the mercury as some peoples do.
