I think these are good ideas Tracy. You must be so exasperated and confused, I know I would be.

The first thing I wondered was indeed whether the challenge test was able to pick up the mercury that you very probably have. As others have said here, it might not have done. If your body isn't eliminating much of it right now then maybe it would not have shown up. If it was me in this situation I'd ask myself what my gut feeling was. I'd think back to the point where I really got ill and think about what was going on in my life, what had happened or what had been done to me.

You say your illness seems to have coincided with dental work, is that right? You've had lots of symptoms of mercury poisoning. Other things going on in your body could be resulting from that. Maybe the best thing to do is find a way to chelate that works for you, e.g. the ALA that Bex suggested.

Sometimes even the best doctors don't know how to look deep enough into symptoms to discover their root causes, and make the mistake of treating the symptoms themselves. Sometimes the detective work we do ourselves ends up being the best diagnosis and cure.

Hang in there Tracy, let us know what you decide to do and how things are going for you.

Hugs,
Linda.
