Interesting that you had that reaction. I've never had a reaction like I did before I ate the pecan pie. Totally knocked me out too. I eat tons of sugar, chocolate, and what ever else I get my grubby little hands on. I've got a good metabolism rate and so most foods don't stick. Now that I'm done with classes, I need to buy some pecan pie and try it again. I had eaten the pie when I was in classes and man was that a mistake. It's been a long road, but I think there are many here who have traveled down a longer road than mine. The only reason why I even noticed I was mercury toxic was because of my university courses. The required ("easy courses") were a breeze but when I started to get to the advanced courses I felt like I was always forgetting what I read. It started to bother me more and more. The brain fog always drove me away from my studies. To the point where I knew that it wasn't normal. Some research and bam! there it was, amalgam poisoning. When I first saw it, I knew intuitively that it was the root cause. My family does not have any, and I mean any, health issues. My mother said that as far back as she can remember her lineage did not have diseases. This goes for my fathers side too. How could I have been so ignorant and not realize that the metals in my mouth were the cause of so many of my health troubles. Sucks bad!!!!
