Well, I can relate to so much of what you have stated here. Oh boy where do I start? I am hirsute also, I suffer from bouts of binging so bad that I have vomited. I am addicted to sugar and have to stay away from it. I have been both underweight and overweight in my life (teased for both and for being hairy).

Certainly you can be poisoned even in the Mother's womb from her amalgams, that is common, it even gets into the Mother's breast milk. So I believe my problems began from the word go (conception almost).

Mercury can cause total loss of appetite or bingeing. It can cause compulsive behaviours (ritualistic), hormonal imbalances etc. Anything at all just about, which makes it hard to diagnose because it can imitate anything and from there can allow your body to become suseptible to other illnesses/viruses/candida etc.

So it's an ongoing cycle. Like yourself my cravings would be so bad, I remember also eating frozen buns from the freezer (later vomiting). So this really rings bells with me.

Yes mercury from amalgams can indeed cause gut/bowel issues because it alters the bacteria. Every system in the body can be affected by mercury, so no symptom surprises me that a person gets.

I do not know if you have tried a candida diet, but I'd advise it at least at this point. No it isn't easy but it can contribute to mercury toxicity in big way. Making symptoms even worse, increasing the toxic load on the gut and liver etc. It isn't easy to do the diet, especially when you have family that loves junkfood (welcome to the club), but you have to look at this as a way of life, rather than just a "diet". It takes weeks to notice anything but it maybe well worth it. It also takes will power and the need to walk away when you are being tempted by sweets. And making sure you fill yourself up on the right foods so you are not so vulnerable.

But certainly if the underlying problem is mercury, which it sounds like it most likely is (with the bizzare symptoms), then you would obviously need to start looking at removal! But the diet is advisable to do regardless.
