HI Smitho, just came across this relatively recent post of yours. COincidentally, my computer has also been broke for the last six weeks!!! hmmm.

Anyway, just reading your post and it took me back to my own experience. You may, even at this stage be hitting what is known as the "second phase of suffering". This is something that hit me about a year or so after my amalgams were removed.

For me the senario went a little like this. Had last amalgam finally removed, felt almost immediately worse due possibly to swallowing grains of mercury by negligent dental assistant. Had tremors, headaches, you name it. Felt quite revolting for sometime after, just poisoned pretty much. I felt maybe this was some detox.

Seemed to hit a sort of stage of remission of some symptoms. May have been due to some DMSA I got given by a doctor. But I could not continue due to cost. But I felt much the same (relatively "ok") for about a year or so. Then suddenly, out of the blue I began to worsen significantly for no apparent reason. I mean it was like my worst nightmare returning and all my symptoms returned but worse than ever.

I felt repoisoned and started to blame anything and everything. I did not realise that the massive amount of stored mercury that I had been carrying most of my life was beginning to erupt out and fill up my blood stream.

Nobody told me of this, I had not read about it and I panicked. I was so ill looking that my face took on a pallor and I looked aged (even at 27). It had a pulled in appearance and was kind of haggard. I would get so poisoned that I would erupt in massive amounts of uncontrollable crying and salivating to such an extent that I'd go for hours. Either hanging my head over a bowl (or toilet) without having any ability to stop. I'd use hankies or whatever I could. I would go through about 15 hankies a day (soaked).

When this eruption would subside for a while, I'd have a momentary feeling of relief as though I had cleared a little something out of me, but then no sooner did I get this, than it would build back up again and I'd feel poisoned and so it went on.

I did not understand what it was and finally read about it and recognised what was happening. I took all sorts of things to encourage more mercury to come out, but could not tolerate the detoxes as I once did (just like yourself). SUddenly using the chelators would produce a severe reaction, even taking a little would cause me to go into almost insane detox that was intolerable. I mean so agonising that I would literally scream my lungs out.

So, I found myself going on and off different forms of detox. Trying a little and finding a huge reaction. I could never take anything for a prolonged time and could never follow a doctor's orders to "keep taking it". It was not possible. I learned to listen to my own body and not push it even further over the edge too much or too often. Naturally it was doing this enough on its own, but would go into extreme when encouraged further by mobilising the mercury with anything.

You maybe going through this. The ONLY thing that actually aided me was Andy Cutler's chelation which actually helped control some of these symptoms. So I took the DMSA every 4 hours around the clock. Sometimes it helped, sometimes it caused symptoms, but at least it was somewhat tolerable. I felt ill in one way as it was still removing mercury, yet other times it was more controlled.

I suggest you might like to give that a go if you can to try and aid you through this "second" nightmare. Other things that kind of helped but also sometimes pushed me to detox more, were good quality vitamin C powder (from a lab), vitamin E and selenium and zinc. Those were actually the main ones that seemed to directly aid the mercury detox.

Diet can help too if candida is an issue.
