Hi JoeC, I am really sorry to hear of all this, but think it's very familiar with many on here. I am not sure what your recent replacement may have done, other than possibly exposed you to mercury during this and poisoned you. Replacement materials can sometimes cause issues too, but often because the person is still full of mercury and then becomes sensitised to a lot of things. Sometimes chelating the mercury resolves that.

I am getting cerec porcelain put in my teeth to replace my white plastic fillings, because I feel it is more biocompatible and it is a tougher material, lasts for most of ones lifetime and doesn't tend to leak out its compoenents. It does not appear to contain as many chemicals as the plastics, but all materials have their drawbacks! I know two people on here that had Cerec and they seem to be doing fine with them, one was very chemically sensitive too.

Also, are you on any kind of diet? E.g. candida diet? Because this can be essential to gain control of candida, plus support the body in healing and detoxing. If you have high yeast with all this going on and other bacteria problems, any intake of sugars and high carbs are going to keep you in a continual cycle of keeping these things flourishing and getting the symptoms over and over.

So the diet I believe is the first step, because it's the foundation of everything else. The body, when you eliminate the bad and eat the good, can at the very least gain a little more control and in some instances the improvements can be dramatic. However, it can take weeks or more of patience before results might be seen. Depends on how badly you have it and how toxic you are.

You may also need to take supportive supplements like vitamin C (powder is best), vitamin E, zinc, selenium, and maybe a product called microhydrin, which is also really helpful (mixed with vitamin C).

Diet wise, the best I have found is eating eggs, meats, vegetables (no potatoes, beans, peas because they are very high in natural sugars/carbs), raw nuts (brazil/almonds), sunflower seeds, plain sugar free acidophilus yoghurt and adding enough oils and fats to my diet to support healing (especially the brain) and to aid bile flow. E.g. extra virgin olive oil, mercury free fish oil, butter, etc. I even eat the fat on the meat with meat. And for liquids I have herb tea, water, lemon juice in water, vitamin C in water.

Hal Huggins, who is pretty much an expert on mercury, suggests that a mercury toxic person requires protein to aid healing and should avoid sugar and caffeine. I believe he's right. It's not just about reducing and controlling candida, but it's mainly about supporting healing and health.

I wish I could be more of help, but that is where I would start if you haven't been doing that already. I also had a serum blood test to check what dental materials I was compatible with. I do not know how accurate this test is, but I think it must be pretty good because when I got the results, one of the materials that had been placed in my mouth that I appeared to get coincidentally worse afterwards showed to be "not suitable" on the test.

Again though my body is weakened severely by a bacteria/virus that I got a few years ago, which has been worse on me than the mercury. So this might be why anything impacts me these days.

By the way, did you go to a biologic dentist to have your amalgams replaced? Did you have enough protection during removal? Do you know what materials were put in your teeth? (the names?).
