You're welcome. If you feel the vegan diet will help, all power to you! You should ditch fish, no mercury toxic person should ever touch fish if they want to get well. It's unfortunate, but I don't know of any fish that is completely mercury free. I heard of one brand of pink salmon, but not certain which one it was. It's on the net though. Even then I'm wary.
I'm worried about fish in my own country (New zealand) because we used to be known as clean and green, but mercury is now becoming a problem here too and fish is not all safe here either.
One doctor in US (expert in mercury toxicity) Paula Bickle tell her mercury patients that they must stop eating ALL fish with no exceptions. Otherwise you could be wasting your time. There is no point in trying to eliminate mercury, whilst taking it in from some other source at the sametime. Some people have actually become mercury toxic just from eating fish alone (even without any amalgams).
I know It's not easy because it makes diet limited and there are good things in fish (omega 3), but you can get that from a fish oil supplement (mercury free brand like blue ice). Cod liver oil is especially good apparently. Flaxseed oil contains omega 3 as well, without the mercury. Best to get organic brand.
I hope if you do try St John's Wart, that it might help you a little, or take the edge of some of this whilst you find ways to heal at the sametime.
Sorry to throw all this at you, Im sure you feel overwhelmed as it is.
