Hello Anne, I am also new here and wanted to get aquainted witht he group as I have just run across by accident. I have had health problems for over 12 years now directly related to amalgam removal back then. I had a non-qualified Dentist take over 12 fillings out in 2 weeks.Thats when the nightmare began.I started a lot of bad habits due to strong cravings. I lost a marriage due to the "Mad Hatters Disease" and my irratic behavior. No one understood me (including myself) I was lost and lonely for years, but after 6 Naturopaths and a lot of personal cash, I managed to chelate enough out to regain my sanity.
In the process I also contracted a weakened immune system which opened the door for Candida Fungus?Yeats to take over and that has been no cake-walk to get rid of. It's said to be the precurser to cancer.There's some interesting links to another group that deals with this problem and describes it's symptoms if your interested in finding out about why your still not feeling well. I would urge anyone in this group to look into it as we have all compromised our health and weakened our immune system's progress from either stress or antibiotics or mercury or whatever else.
If anyone wants the link, just let me know. Thanks for letting me into your forum.
