I have to tell you, I had horrible heartburn after every meal when my amalgams were in. the day after they were out, the heartburn was gone and only recurs rarely now.

I had my amalgams replaced in July of 2000. It changed my life dramatically. If you're interested, read my story here:

Also, depression is one of the most common symptoms associated with mercury toxicity. If you want to try something in the mean time that may help try supplementing with tryptophan and a thyroid supplement such as this one:

Thyroid Support

Depression is often associated with low thyroid funcion and T3 thyroid hormone production is blocked by mercury.

Hope this helps.
