Nina, conventional doctors will not recognize CHRONIC mercury poisoning. They are only trained to recognize and treat "ACUTE" mercury poisoning, e.g. broken thermometer exposure. The reason they will never recognize it is because they are told in medical school that mercury amalgams are "perfectly safe". The AMA and ADA stick together. There are many doctors out there who know the truth and who know how to help people with this problem. You have to seek them out. You want to look for a practice familiar with "biodynamic" medicine therapies. You could start by calling maybe a Homeopathic doctor and asking them to refer you to someone like this or perhaps going to a naturopathic doctor and having them refer you. Generally speaking, they all know eachother and about eachother because they attend similar conferences. For example, I have found these great doctors now that I am working with. You can read my latest post labeled "my update, Gosh!". I found out about them through my homeopathic doctor. These doctors were only 15 minutes from me and I would never have known they existed. I hope this helps.
