Joey,

Good to have you here! You have quite a story and sounds like you have grown up fast in order to deal with the hell mercury put you through.

Glad to hear you're better. Sounds like you did your homework too. That's excellent.

Let me speak to your concerns about the emotional side of mercury recovery.

I had all my amalgams out in July of 2000. My business partner did too. Our lives have changed dramatically.

The physical recovery in terms of health has been astounding. In fact, you can read my story here if you want:

My Mercury Story

But now for the interesting part.

I have been a people watcher all my life. I love to get into people's minds and really understand what make them work. I also have studied myself for most of my life (since I was a kid; I'm now 40). Here's what I've concluded about mercury.

Mercury causes the following emotional symptoms:

- shyness
- depression
- social withdrawal
- anxity
- panic attacks
- an apologetic attitude
- predefensiveness
- outbursts of anger
- emotionalism (overreacting or judging truth by emotions)
- "brain fog" and difficulty concentrating
- suicidal thoughts
- madness (acting perverse or controversial)
(like the people on the "jackass" show that used to be on MTV.)
- emotional detachment
- feeling overwhelmed
- feeling hyperactive
- helplessness
- commitaphobia (trouble making commitments)
- easily annoyed by noise
- easily annoyed by flashing lights
- emotional infatuation
- feeling out of control of life
- apathy

I'm sure there are more but I experienced many of these above.

It's also worth mentioning that my memory is absolutely amazing. I have always had a horrible memory, especially when it comes to peoples names. Not anymore. My memory is many times better than it ever has been. I cannot explain how dramatic this is and how positively it affects my life.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

If you ever would like to allow others to benefit from your story, please let me know. I am currently collecting stories to put on my companion website:

http://mercurytalk.com

so people who currently don't believe that mercury causes these problems will wakeup to this terrible crime against humanity.

Mercury can be associated with every major disease today. It can also be associated with countless non-major diseases, including ones we've come to accept as inevitable, like alzheimer's, diabetes, MS, numerous autoimmune diseases and neurological diseases as well. The mercury issue (particularly from fillings and vaccines) is quite possibly the largest man-made health disaster?in terms of disease and human death?in history.

In fact, if you think about it soberly for a minute, I believe most people would have the realization that the American Dental Association (ADA) are very likely the most notorious terrorists in the world if you consider the massive scope of the damage, disease and death they've caused and that they continue?to this day?defending and even promoting the use of mercury-based fillings.

For very good reasons, I call mercury, "The health issue of the next decade."

I know of so many people who have suffered their whole lives only to find that mercury was the cause. Amazingly, the vast majority still don't know about the mercury problem and go from doctor to doctor, year after year seeking answers and taking drug after drug. It's very sad.

Anyway, thanks for writing and keep us posted.
