Wow, thanks for sharing that. What a journey and a painful one at that. So many of these kinds of journeys for people suffering a chronic underlying condition, be it mercury or infection etc.

I think you have probably nailed the cause or a contributing one at the very least. Mercury is so toxic, that it truly is an insane thought that anybody could ever have thought to introduce it into the oral environment (of ALL places)...where all the chewing, heat, erosion would take place. How intelligent, right under the nasal cavity, under the brain. What were they THINKING??? or did they think at all?

My father is on Losec! He is 76 though and began to get spasms in the throat when he would try and swallow food and would regurgitate his food. This was becoming wore as time wore on and the acid from this could have eventually caused cancer apparently. He needed to have something to help the acid and relax his throat...not sure what Losec does, but he reckons it's helping him....

I think you are making a wise move to remove your amalgams, slowly but surely. Make sure you get as much protection as humanly possible during removals!!! It is very very important, or you can get much worse from over-exposure to mercury vapor during the removal. Devastating it can be. The slower the better in my opinion.

Algin is a really good one for many people, Russ the owner recommends this and vitamin E, vitamin C and selenium. Very good antioxidants for mercury because mercury pretty much uses them up. They can help protect against it too. Just don't take vitamin C near your dental appointment as it can wipe out the numbing of the anasthetic. So stop taking it 24-48 hours before the dental work, as you don't want to feel pain! Start it again immediately afterwards.

One thing you missed out on your exclusion list that was probably one of the main things that you should have included. SUGAR!!!! This is one of the WORST thing you can put into your already sick and weakened body. if you have not eliminated this, PLEASE do it. Sugar on it's own can cause total and utter havoc and feed yeast/fungus in your body, weakening your entire system. Yeast releases many toxins, which then poison and weaken your body alongside the mercury, suppressing immunity and allowing allergies to take a stronghold. It makes mercury even more toxic and allows it to do more damage. Yeast will also mess up your gut and liver and your ability to eliminate toxins.

The worst culprits often for a toxic person is sugar, gluten/wheat, dairy (milk/cheese), caffeine (coffee mainly), yeast, moulds, fruit juices, honey, etc.

Even natural sugars in natural foods can allow yeast to feed. So excluding fruit, potatoes, corn, may also help.

My father found when he stopped eating so much sugar, his throat prolbems appeared to lessen and almost disappear....yet when he started eating more sugar again, they got worse. Now he's on losec because he does not wish to give up his sugar eating.

So yeah, sugar is probably the kiss of death for anybody in any toxic/candida/mercury situation. If I eat the stuff, I PLUMMET. In fact, because of sugar, I could not get over a bad flu. Everytime I stopped eating it, my body would begin to fight the virus more, but because I kept cheating I wound up having antibiotics, which then messed me up even more and caused worse candida.

It is a vicious cycle all of this. The more things you can eradicate that are causing or contributing to your sick state of health, the more your body will be able to assert itself more. It can take time though. Eliminating sugar and the other stuff can result in a withdrawal and detox of its own and make you feel worse for a few weeks or so. But should result in improvement once the body has eliminated some of the toxins and reduced yeast levels.

A dentist here (in new zealand) biologic will not remove amalgams from his patients unless they are on a specific protocol to improve their health first. A very important part of this is the candida diet. To reduce their candida and improve their immunity! If they do not comply? He will usually not remove their amalgams. Otherwise he said it can make them sicker.

Im glad you found this forum and I really hope that you will find it helpful to you. If I was you, I would be on the candida diet (full on, without any cheating), I'd take the algin, vitamin C, E and selenium and probably milk thistle for the liver. I would get the Andrew Hall Cutler book "amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment" and keep that book with me to refer to throughout my entire mercury elimination journey. It is the best book I have read on the matter so far, other than the Hal Huggins one "It's all in your head".

These two books are to my mind very valuable!
