HI Compcoll, it is very hard to know what to say to someone suffering like this and the sufferings of mercury are tremendous (particularly the mental sufferings).

I would say you have nailed what is wrong with you, because the toxicity of mercury is extreme and the symptoms are vast. It can mimic almost anything because it poisons almost every area of the human body and typically no amount of testing shows anything with this problem.

You end up being treated often like a neurotic, when inside you're being literally tortured. Suicide is common with this toxin, and the urge to do is also and is one of the symptoms of mercury. Hal Huggins talks about this also and one thing he finds disgusting about amalgam toxicity is the suicide urges of the victims.

Yes, I have heard the jigsaw foundation aint nearly as helpful as being made out. I've heard a number of people now express their disappointment in them, which is very sad.

Im very sorry for your situation and this is just compounding things even further. I am living on a sickness benefit and I'm lucky to get that, but at the sametime you get enough just to live on and not much to spare...which does not really give one much to spend on alternative treatments.....

ALA was a very bad thing for you to have been given and no wonder you got worse. It is definitely not advised with someone who still have amalgams, let alone given to someone who still hasn't reduced their body/blood levels first. On top of which, it needs to be taken the right way in order not to make things worse. The same with cilantro etc. But most of us have done many things wrong with or without amalgams and gotten very sick, painful lessons.

Is there any possible way that you can get your amalgams out little by little? Paying things off bit by bit? Is there anybody around you that can help you at all? Family/relatives/friends?

If you cannot afford supplements, then don't. If you can, concentrate on diet and get rid of the unnecessary stuff like sugars and gluten, which will likely increase your suffering ten fold. Anything like that causes far more suffering from diet is unnecessary and should be completely avoided, because in a mercury toxic body, sugars and gluten can cause total havoc and feed candida even further, making mercury more toxic, the body more toxic and messing up the gut and liver in the process. From there you end up much more toxic and distressed and often will not know what problem is doing what. If you're not on a specific candida diet, that is what I would do if I was you.

You may feel like a wreck for a while when doing this diet, but it is well worth it and can be essential. a dentist here actually will not do any amalgam removals on his sick patients until they are first on a diet like this. He gets them on it and then waits for improvements before removing the amalgam. It is that important.

Supplements are helpful, but the diet is even moreso and without the diet, the supplements are unlikely to do much anyway. A toxic body high in yeast is unlikely to absorb many nutrients. If I had not gone on such a diet, I doubt I'd be here now. I was this close to ending my life. I was determined to try it out of total desperation and after a few weeks, improvements were noticed and it gave me more strength to cope.

Right now I am paying off expensive dental replacement materials (porcelain), because my composites were old and needed redoing. It is back breaking to afford many of these treatments and sometimes I feel I may have done the wrong thing getting these materials, but I am hoping they will last most of my life!

I wish I could help YOU! Sincerely, with a cause like this it is quite heartbreaking to hear someone going through this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> You deserve someone to intervene that can help you financially afford to get this neurotoxin out of your mouth and I hope and pray that will happen for you. But please do not underestimate the sufferings that sugars/gluten/high carbs can do in your diet. It is not just about amalgam removal, the body requires dietry support so it can handle the extra exposure and is able to detox easier and heal.
