Hi everybody,

My name is Joe. I recently just found this forum. I have some questions and concersn regarding amalgam removal and mercury toxicity.

Heres a little about my background. I have been chronically ill for about 3 yrs with various chronic bacterail illnesses including mycoplasma. Ive tried all sorts of different antibiotics and herbal protocols to get well and nothing has helped greatly. the antibiotics eventually gave me bad candida which i cant get rid of. Prior to me getting ill a was in my senior yr at college when i started nocticing all sorts of different neurological disturbances which eventually permanently disabled me. My most bothersome are brain fog(depersonalization/derealization) and vision problems. Now im trying to regian my health and looking for all the answers.

Bascially, i started removing my fillings a couple months ago through a holistic dentist. I noticed almost immediately some weird mood disturbances which i kind of shrugged off. It started with a dull lifeless feeling and sort of depression. Eventually things started to get worse and i noticed sort of a physical anxiety. My body would just not calm down and it gets to the point where i feel like i need to crawl out of my skin. This feeling then leaves me feeling helpless and i have bouts of crying which i cant control. Is this something that can be common with amalgam removal? Is there anything that can help these symptoms?

On top of that i have loss of appetite, acid reflux and stomach cramps and pains. I also have noticed low back pain in my kidney areas. Can these all be attributed to amalgam replacement?

I have some bloodwork to get done and an ultrasound of my kidneys. I also had a hair test done which i havent recieved the results from yet.

I wanted to removemy fillings to help regain my health and it seems like now i am worse off. I still have 2 quadrants left and i guess i will see what comes up on the hair analysis and go from there.

I guess i just feel helpless. I wanted to be doing the right thing and it feels like things are backfiring.

I guess i just need some advice and reassurance that removing my amalgams is the right thing to do. So if any of you have any advice or words of encouragement i could really use it.

Thank you,
Joe
