Hi Jeanie, sorry to hear about your father and brother frown. that is AWFUL. And so young too! Too young to die. What a tragedy. Who knows what impact this toxin has had on many people who never considered it as being a possible part of what was wrong with them? Not saying it always is, but one wonders sometimes.

I find garlic a problem. I don't use it anymore. I was ok with it when I had amalgams (the supplement). But after amalgam removal I could not tolerate it, it brought on too many detox reactions. Now it's even worse since a virus I got years ago. So I just steer clear these days. Onions are ok with me though and they are quite antifungal. You might want to consider them instead if you feel better with them than garlic.

I am 35 by the way and I used to look very young for my age, but now? I don't think I do. I feel old and look older as well. Some days are better than others, but the virus I got years ago never left me and it's made a huge impact to my immunity and I think it's aged me a lot. Even blood test shows that I have the HGH levels of someone middle aged. Perhaps all of this is from long term mercury poisoning, even though I detoxed it and was getting well, I just got hit with something else and worse in my opinion. Didn't think anything could be worse though. I have mentioned more about it on the "chronic fatigue syndrome" forum.

I do not wish to enter a dental office again. I went recently for a routine clean and I always, without fail, deteriorate afterwards, as though just being there and breathing in whatever mercury vapor is floating around, seems to make my condition worse and it doesn't just "go away". My body doesn't eliminate the mercury properly, so it tends to linger and poison me. I do not find I respond to chelation anymore either, so it's difficult. Whether it's that or not I don't know. But it's happened in the past. I went to a metal free one too, but didn't seem to make much difference. I guess they're still removing enough amalgam from other people's teeth throughout the year, to cause enough mercury build up in their environment for someone like me to become poisoned by just by walking into it.

Never used to have that problem, but since viral infection? It started. So, I now have more permanent replacement materials in my teeth (porcelain) and am trying just to look after them from home as well as I can and hopefully avoid future dental visits for as long as I can. I just cannot take anymore toxicity!
