Hal Huggins' book (It's All In Your Head) is what convinced Russ and I to get all our amalgams removed. It changed our lives!

Depression was definitely a big factor for me, although I would say it manifested more as hopelessness, negativity, and a constant sense of unhappiness and feeling apathetic. (Although maybe that's what "depression" really means in clinical terms.) I also suffered with a lot of anger and irritability.

I went through my days feeling pretty emotionally-removed from everything...very blah and unexcited about life. The only things I would say I really cared about were animals and good food. Any moments of happiness were very temporary and easily erased by the ever-present "heaviness" I always felt. I know I hid it well from most people, but those I worked closely with would sometimes see the real me.

It was horrible, but I only realized the full extent of how horrible it was when I got all my amalgams removed. Only then did I fully realize that what I had felt for more than 10 to 20 years wasn't normal. It was like a huge weight was lifted off of me and I could breathe deeply for the first time.

I could go on and on. I just wish I was rich and could give everyone I met who had amalgam fillings a copy of Huggins' book. If people only knew how great life could be without the mercury poisoning their bodies and minds. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
