I think I must have been born with some kind of problem with mercury. My Mother had a mouth full of amalgams (and I hear that mercury has an affinity for breast milk and can be found in breast milk in large amounts). When she breast fed me, I was so ill, the nurse told Mum to stop "you are poisoning her". They didn't know what was wrong, but decided to put me on a formula.

I suffered severely from continual colic and even as a kid, though otherwise healthy, happy and energetic, I always had a tendency towards some kind of bowel, bladder upset.

Only when I got braces at age 15, did all the sh*t hit the fan. From that point on, I suffered constantly from toxicity and one health problem to another. Everything fell apart, almost immediately. I was also metal sensitive and could'nt wear jewelery etc.

Even after the braces came off, I only marginally improved, but that was pretty much the end of my previous "health". I developed glandular fever, and then from there, became bloated, grey in the face, suffering continual candida problem and gluten/wheat allergies and yeast.

Only relief i got was from the candida diet (no antidepressants helped).

Finally figured out mercury may have been causing issues, due to puffy tissues in the legs, metal taste, and my crying and salivating spells and cold body temperature (blue nails). Even though the candida diet helped the symptoms, the underlining problem remained.

Embarked on amalgam removal, didn't notice much change at first. Over time, having less amalgams, I began to improve even further.

Last amalgam removal, I swallowed the mercury, was severely poisoned. Suffered tremors, muscle tics, headaches, crying, salivating, you name it.

INitial symptoms abated a little, but I remained sicker. Was put on various chelation regimes, then on DMPS IV, and that really did it. That shoved all the stored mercury into my blood stream and I was full on poisoned from that point on. I was forced into detoxing this mercury.

I had years of screaming fits, salivating, crying, being bedridden, depression, and on it went. It would abate, then flare up and I knew I was detoxing, but it was devastating, because it would continue to build up and then I'd have to go through that to release a little and so it would go on.

Finally started to see the light, got healthier, happier and it was amazing. Sadly, got hit with a bacterial infection not long after these improvements and my immune system was shattered.

Since then, I've not ever recovered or improved. Been through all the chelations and cleanses and all sorts of things, had more dental work done only to find it's made me even worse.

I now suffer constant bacterial/viral type symptoms, plus whatever problem is in my mouth/jaw (infection I gather), and battling continual gut issues. the symptoms now are worse than all the years I had before. I've almost taken my own life, but one hangs in there I guess through fear and what it might do to your loved ones.

That's my story in a nutshell without going into specific details the entire way.

lol sorry for going on, I didn't expect to unleash it all, but I got carried away. But it goes to show, something has to be not quite right from the word go in order for all this to hound me all my life. Othewrise it would happen to everybody and it doesn't.

I had no more fillings than most people. I was brought up the same way as most people. Had my share of healthy food and junk as most kids and really I do not know what it was in me that made me so suseptible and have such odd symptoms.
