We often only hear about things when they are bad, however, it's very important to make sure we remember to recognize when things are good.

Thank you to all the forum members who are contributing to helping people get the answers they need through this system. Most actually offer compliments for the excellent information they found here and of course, that is directly because of you!

Lately, I'm getting emails almost daily from people searching for answers and it's great to see that most of these found their initial answers by stumbling across this system.

Thanks for the great job and the good comradery between us.

Two thumbs up, err I mean two smilies...

Russ, this site is a wonderful resource. The Yahoo groups related to chelation are fine, but the navigation is horrible. I'd vastly prefer if they all migrated to this site and gave this place the traffic it deserves.

But anyway, thanks again for this site. The information and people here are very helpful.

Hi Russ, you're very welcome and likewise to yourself and the others. This forum has actually been the best I have been on, which is a credit to you. Seems very open, so much information, and people seem free to share things even that are not always directly mercury. All related issues are freely discussed, and that is not always so on other forums. I also notice the comradeship on here also.

Thanks for being a very open, shrewd and patient owner/moderator! You've sure been put to the test a few times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I agree with Bex. It also has been a life saver for me. Russ might not make a lot of money from it, but he is making a lot of friends. I think in the future, as more people join this forum, the sales will go up. As for me I get only the best herbs. Cheers.

Thanks everyone! And thanks Alex for OTBH the plug. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here are a few stats to help everyone realize how many people are viewing the information we post:

A percentage of these are from the core of people who frequent this forum daily. However, the vast majority are from observers that don't post but are reading and watching. Many of these are new.

FYI

Keep up the great work!

what makes this forum great is not actually the organisation, but the people that frequent it. thanx

Not so long ago I was very depressed and on my last go around ,before being hit with this mercury illness 5 years ago I was a very energetic ,and upbeat person ,but that would soon change ,and like many of you out there the next years were a living hell ,going from doctor to doctor many types of medications and normal labs test readings trying to find out what was wrong with me ,I was a shell of my former self all I could think about was my illness and what was causing it (I didn't have a clue) one morning I made a decision to go out a buy some shot gun shells for my 12 guage shot gun ( I had enough of this madness) this would be the day.
I got online for a last ditch effort to find a small crumb of hope that could just get me through the day that is when I stumbled across russes web sight and started reading about his story and how we had alot of the same symtoms ,to make a long story short, I have had all my amalgams removed recently and am doing much better I still have to detox but the symtoms are nothing like before ( so for me this forum has saved my life , without It I would not be here now ) I would like to thank all of you russ and everyone on the forum .( thanks for that crumb of hope I needed)

[color:"brown"]Wow. Now you just made it all worth it.[/color]

I'm glad you shared that and I truly hope you have a full recovery. I can't tell you how happy this makes me!

You know what would make this place even better Russ? Having a better search function, you should be able to search for phrases in thread titles, the way it is set up now, any post that has that word will show up in the search, makes it hard to find what you are looking for.

Just a thought...

Wow no kidding, a testimony like that must really make your day, thanks from me too Russ, you guys do the world a really great service!!!!

Thanks Sandi! I appreciate it.

Clay: The suggestion about a better search facility is a good one. I've had the same problems myself at times.

I'm tied up for the next couple weeks but I'll keep this in mind and when I can find some time between the cracks to start working on it. It'll probably may take several weeks to finish.

Thanks again.
