Hi JoAnna,

I think I too am a victim of "genetic mercury poisoning". I can only "think" because I really do not know for sure. But it seemed there was something "amiss" from early on, but never obvious enough at the time. I can look back and see it.

I could not tolerate my mother's breast milk and the nurse told my Mother she was poisoned me. So they took me off it....whether that was mercury or not, I don't know. I do know that mercury has an affinity for breast milk and that I have always been hyper allergic to metals...

as a child I seemed to suffer with excessive body hair, which was not something in my family. This occured very early on and I had to remove it, in order to stop the teasing of my peers. Seemed to be a slight imbalance in me. Hyper behaviours, insomnia, excessive giggling and silliness, problems with cold body temperature, hairiness, etc.

I had problems with yeast too I believe, but didn't know it at the time. I was an excessive sugar eater, addicted hopelessly to junkfood. But otherwise enjoyed a happy energetic childhood...

by mid teens braces were put on my teeth and that I must say was the clincher and it really seemed like this was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Opened the flood gates so to speak. One more toxic metal in my system, the battery effect with the amalgams already there and I was a gonner. Vast bizzare symptoms followed and though they were removed finally, I was left a much sicker person and battled every since with ongoing sickness of one kind or another.

It's a very long story. Candida diets and treatment helped me alot finally and probably saved me from ending my life. Becuase I really had such severe toxic depression and anxiety. Candida tends to come along for the ride in a mercury toxic body, so it's common to suffer candida too and the symptoms from candida are also horrible. So you can make your sufferings much much worse by feeding yeast.

Amalgam removal was done finally over a few years. I got sick right after it, much worse and regretted doing it. Though I had unprotected removals for the most part, but swallowed amalgam on my last removal which poisoned me severely and directly. I got over that finally, went into a kind of remission of symptoms for a while, until my body began to start dumping the years of stored mercury and then I was in detox mode and went through hell on earth as the mercury started to ooze back out of me.

Chelation/detox helped speed this up, but was often intolerable to go through. Landing on teh right protocol to chelate the mercury finally aided this and helped me get the stuff out without going insane in the process! I finally started to get well after about 2 years of detoxing the stuff. But all that was pretty much destroyed later by a viral/bacterial infection which never left my system.

So yep, it's been a long long road! Who knows, it's highly possible that mercury damaged me very early on and the ongoing health issues may be a result of that. I don't know.

I hope that you will find this forum of help to you, evne if you have no amalgams. It is really about getting rid of ANY stored mercury, from whatever means. Whether it's amalgam, fish eating, vaccines, or passed on via the Mother to the child.

Cheers!
