thanks for the quick and thorough responses. lots of information, but very overwhelming.

i took a urine heavy metals test with dsma for a 6 hr period. but im reading that andy cutler does not think these are tests aren't great indicators of diagnosis? censored. i am looking at doing a hair test, but are there even that might not be a good indicator? anyone have experience with the best method for diagnosis?

i just want to be 100% positive that i do indeed have these effects from mercury before i spend big bucks on new fillings. by the way i was thinkin around $4,000 is the amount i'd be looking at, I just want to get a ballpark figure, because i have no idea, not even a range.

i'll probably be getting the amalgram illness book soon and the others eventually

as for diet, my naturopath put on my an organic autoimmune breakfast which really helped my allergies. it contains pumpkins seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins, flaxseed, lecithin, and oats. i'll be checkin out that canidia diet soon.
