Hi compcoll, I am disappointed and angry on your behalf and pretty digusted to be honest. This is the last time I think I'll ever recommend the jigsaw foundation because quite frankly I do not know what they are doing - if anything? It seems that anybody who gets in touch with them ends up disappointed. Not yet come across anybody whose mentioned them in good terms. What is going on I wonder?

Why have they set themselves up as a help organisation to those who cannot afford amalgam removal, if they seem to be letting down anybody I come across on forums? Is it just coincidence that all the people they ARE helping are somehow not the ones I meet?

I know that in your condition, everything also becomes overwhelming. And I cannot tell you how many times I've nearly taken my own life becuase of it and simply not being able to afford what I needed or the fact my symptoms were so intolerable, I didn't know what to do...

I know it's very hard, but if you can gain any aid from any information we have given you (diet etc), I would be happy. I used to get horrendous headaches (like my head was being crushed in a vice) and this began to occur everyday. I cried and thought of suicide. A wonderful doctor put me immediately on a no sugar, no gluten grain diet and excluded the coffee. After the initial detox, I started to improve quite dramatically. yes the mercury toxicity was still there, the amaglams were still there, but my body's health was much improved.

I know the bottom of all this maybe the amalgams (no doubt it is), but in the meantime, emergency efforts maybe required dietry wise and maybe the fever few that sosick has recommended could help too, along with getting rid of caffeine drinks. You can still drink herbal teas and believe it or not, some of them are actually very soothing. Anything at all to relieve some of these toxic symptoms.

I didn't have much choice but to do this. I hated it yes because I had a lot of food addictions and did not wish to give up my sugar, my bread/toast, coffee etc. However, pain is a great motivator.

I apologise if you are already doing this, because it's the last thing you would wish to hear repeated, but I am just really concerned. You sound a lot like myself.

By the way, light sensitivity I have had too. Absolutely awful, to the point I can be crying whilst driving. This too can be candida, as well as mercury. I cannot tell you exactly what all your symptoms are attributed too because yeast overgrows in teh presence of toxicity/metals and can many times take over and cause even more problems than the underlying cause! even though the amalgams maybe the main reason for it all, addressing yeast is pretty crucial for symptom relief.

take care and I pray you will hang in there.
