Here is a link to a post by Andy Cutler on Frequent Dose Chelation, where he talks about the different mercury-induced types of depression, and what to take for it.

Hope it helps someone.

Maybe it will help someone. The problem for me is that i reckon i've tried most of those suggestions, which probably suggests that anything nutritional is crippled from the start if you are loaded with heavy metals, candidiasis, parasitic suckers, and god knows what else.

Everytime I try an join that group it keeps saying my emails are in invalid format? I tried my yahoo.coml.au my hotmail.com account? Why?

I'm not sure why that would be, but try emailing the moderator of that group tk200192071@yahoo.com

He maybe able to help.

In case it helps anyone with depression...

I spent my life—from my teen years until about 35—in depression. Oddly, I didn't know it. I honestly though everyone felt this way. I was suicidal almost daily.

Starting the day after my amalgam was removed, the depression and suicidal feelings went away almost immediately. It was a dramatic change.

My "emotional" amalgam symptoms that also went away include shyness and a number of other fears that mostly included feeling "unworthy" which caused me to avoid social situations.

I hope this helps someone with emotional issues who does not know the cause.

Primary sources of mercury are amalgam fillings, coal-burning power plants, tattoos, and vaccines.

Russ, did your depression go away 100% after removal or took it longer to disappear?

It went away 100%.

No more depression. No more suicidal thoughts. Gone.

Of course, there was the roller coaster ride that I went through for several months immediately after the removal, and I did experience occasional depression during some of the "lows", but I got better and better and within a few months, I had no more depression. A complete and dramatic change from before.

Russ, I have to ask, were you on any special diet at the time? like the candida diet?
