Sosick, seems that you are doing remarkably well as you are with the regime you're on and maybe for you, things are best left as they are.....I think having less amalgams is still helpful, and sticking to a healthy diet and taking what works.

All these things are toxic to some degree and who knows what impact they all have on the immune system. But what is the worse of two evils? I also know that having mercury makes a person more sensitive, so that the replaced plastics can seem to cause more issues that they might otherwise.

I know that detoxing mercury over the years did indeed make me much less sensitive to things, but when I still had it in me and hadn't detoxed it, I felt like I was sensitive to my plastics and was very upset. I kept complaining about it and saying I should never have done this and on it went, and in the end simply chelating properly improved that. I think most of the symptoms were due to the dumping of stored mercury, rather than much else. THere may have been the added sensitivity of plastics because of the mercury in me making me more suseptible though, but I can't be certain. But chelating improved that.

When I had amalgams in, I found relief by sticking to the candida diet for the most part. So just doing that was helpful. I think anytime the immune system is under strain, this diet will be helpful.

Also, just to mention tuna again, I remember I had a can of it once and ended up bedridden for from the toxicity. Admittedly I still had amalgams, but the effects from one can of tuna were almost immediate. The effects from amalgams are more slow and in a way it's even worse because it's what you dont notice that can be causing long term damage over time- I use this analogy to describe it - when a frog is put in boiling water, it jumps out immediately. But put a frog in cool water and slowly turn up the temperature to boiling point, the frog remains and isn't shocked enough to jump out. A can of tuna was bad enough, but it's effects were immediate. Amalgams are a drip feed of 24/7 toxicity building up in the tissues and organs and often by the time symptoms show up, a person is dealing with alot of damage.
