Your experience sounds very similar to mine. I became sick after unprotected dental work three years ago, and am still dealing with the aftermath. I have now had all my fillings removed, and am slowly chelating, but I got very sick indeed - housebound for 4 months last year, and still on very low energy. Also had to go on steroids for my adrenals, which basically packed up. It's one of many sorry and pathetic stories about mercury fillings totally trashing people's health.

The best way to determine your degree of mercury toxicity is to have a hair analysis done, and see if you have minerals which are out of whack. Mercury causes deranged mineral transport, showing up as high calcium for example, or it causes the body to hold on to other metals, so you might have high aluminum or tin. There is a book (available from this website - Russ I'm doing it for you!) which will give you the knowledge to interpret your hair analysis and how to treat your individual problems.

You might want to look at

Hope this helps
