It is NORMAL to get worse after amalgam removal - i certainly did and I know others who did. This is because the body starts releasing its load of mercury: mobile mercury = feel worse than you did when it was locked away in your organs slowly making you sick.

I had my amalgams out a year and a month ago, and I can honestly say that it is only in the last month that I have started to feel better, and I have done 15 rounds of chelation with DMSA. At 7 months post-removal you are in the worst phase - the organ dump - I felt very ill and desperate at this point. You may not get any relief until 12 months or more post removal - but it does come. I don't know if you have the Amalgam Illness book by Cutler, but he explains this clearly with a chart. All you can do is chelate, nourish your body properly, and wait.

Jinx - I know this is delicate, but I do believe you have to push on with amalgam removal in order to move forward. You will not get better as you are. It's like you've got to go backwards in order to go forwards. I understand that this is frightening, but staying as you are permanently is surely worse?

My 2 cents
