Nina,

I thought having some information about 5-HTP and L-glutamine might help you, and just in case, here are some links for magnesium and fish oils:

5-HTP

L-glutamine

Magnesium

Fish Oils (Super Omega-3 EPA)

My own opinion would be to definitely take Magnesium (especially magnesium malate and/or citrate which are more easily absorbed than magnesium oxide). You may need to take a lot, compared to what non-mercury people take (Cutler talks about this in his Amalgam Illness book).

The suggestion for fish oils might also be very helpful, especially given what fatty acids do for the body. My own experience with L-glutamine is limited to taking it to fend off MSG toxicity from eating Chinese food that contained MSG (which is a neuro-toxin). I've used 5-HTP to boost serotonin levels to improve my sleep before I had my amalgams removed and it did help a lot.

Hope this helps,
