Hi Linda, yep the computer is fixed and hopefully will last this time.

I know what you mean about the trust issue with dentists when they remove our amalgams. I know of a biologic dentist who has a website and speaks of the horrors of mercury and what it did to him and how he removes amalgam and has the patient go through detox, yet have found out he's left amalgam in underneath composites in patients.....so you gotta wonder how many greedy deceptive people out there. They are in such a position of power in this area.

I hope that your dentist is an honest one and attentive to what you wanted done.

I cannot recall exactly when you had your amalgams out, but I do know that it takes years to detox and improve. IT is the rare person who improves from day one. Most have to go through years of detoxing this garbage from their organs/tissues/brain and the breakthrough of a lifting of depression didn't happen to me at all during that time. ONe day it did and hit out of the blue. It was like the sun coming out. I was actually in my room at the time clearing out my wardrobe and I suddenly became aware that I felt happy and good and I sat down on my floor and just immersed myself in this feeling. It was incredible. Though it clouded over again a bit, it then came back again out of the blue when I was watching a movie and then there it was and it became more frequent and finally each day was happier.

Now, that did not occur in all the 2-3 years or so of detoxing. Most of that time I was in a stupor of depression, with only vague patches of lifting. You cannot help being depressed with this thing, it becomes part of you. Though you have to somehow "keep going", it's always there (at least it was for me). And you feel like you're a drain or burden on others, but it isn't you, it's what you have. And if/when it lifts, you'll be stunned at what is underneath. You actually forget what you were really like until the real you comes to the surface. I used to have people tell me it was my lifestyle or that I needed to get out more, but it had nothing to do with that, it was simply toxicity.

I am hoping for you that it is a case of time and chelation. For me? Chelation doesn't work now, so it isn't really about the mercury. I am still in the process of the replacement of composites with cerec, but don't hold out hopes that it will make much...if any difference to be honest. But at least it's one part i'm getting out of the way.

Diet is proving horrible at the moment with me constantly making dietry errors and going back to square one (even with rice). So I am honestly fed up. Thanks again for your really kind feedback. This forum really is a lifesaver for me I think. So glad I can ever help in anyway, makes things worthwhile :-)
