I also had the pounding-heart symptom when I had amalgam fillings (before July 2000) but it only occured when I stood up or did something that required a little strength. It was severe and I began telling my friend Laura that I truly thought I was going to die.

Now, I only experience this occasionally when I'm doing something really strenuous, and it's now only a very small fraction of what it used to be. It's still getting better over time.

Take it one day at a time. Methodically determine what the best solution for each symptom is?one-by-one?then slowly and gently detox while keeping a close eye on symptoms. It's not easy, but well worth it.

Mercury detox is a game of endurance, not speed.
