I work with a naturopathic doctor online. I haven't been able to find one where I live. My own NHS doctor doesn't seem to think it's likely that my amalgams have anything to do with my depression. He's quite conventional.

The naturopath online told me that I need to work with a professional here who will help me get the mercury out of my body quickly and safely, and who will measure this. She said that if I do my own protocol it's possible I may harm myself. I thought, after spending a lot of time here reading and talking, that I had a reasonable regime lined up for next week. Now I'm frightened again. I trust this doctor, she's never steered me wrong.

Has anyone in the UK done their chelation with the help of a doctor? If so, can I ask how you arranged this? I haven't had any tests done for mercury toxicity, and I know that often they can be inconclusive, and also that one person can be more sensitive to the same amount of mercury than another. My symptoms are mild so I don't know if a test is likely to help much.

I avoid the doctor nowadays and work on nutrition for myself and my daughter, which is the best preventative medicine. Doctors don't have a clue about a lot of things. But if I could find one to help me with this, maybe that would be wise. I just don't think it's likely.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Linda.
