I can understand how you feel. Have patience and do all that you can do to improve your health. I have been sick for so long(around 23 years) and had 25 mercury fillings. It took over a year for me to have them replaced. My fifth and sixth week of chelation(the chelation began 10 weeks after the last one was replaced) using ALA 50 mg every 3 hours for 3 days in a row went so horribly. I am now taking a few weeks off chelation. When I start again, I plan to just use 25 mg of ALA. Rather than rushing to get well soon, I'll just be happy if my symptoms aren't extreme.I lisened to some talks about vitamin D (WOR 710 radio Health Talk podcasts) where it was mentioned that ideally one should perhaps take 2000 IU vitamin D supplements per day. I am taking 1000 IU per day now , however in the past I didn't use vitamin D supplements. Some have claimed that vitamin D helped cure their gum problems.

The mercury does distort one's thoughts, and does distort their perspective. The one thing to ask yourself is if you are doing what you can do, and how you are progressing. Getting the amalgams replaced is the first step. Chelation is the next step. I noticed that most people try to chelate too aggressively since they want the nightmare to be over as soon as possible. This creates extreme side effects though. One also must take other measures, supplements, diet, lifestyle, etc. to try to improve their life in general.
