Absolutely. Daily magnesium supplements are standard issue for anyone with mercury exposure.

For the numbness, you might also try taking Flax See Oil with Lignans . This helps with nerve sheathing issues, etc.

There are none, per se.

You need a series of blood tests done and a doctor who knows what signatures to look for to identify mercury. All of the blood tests are standard. Finding a doctor that understands mercury toxicity is the tough part.

If you can't find a doctor who knows about these tests, I would highly recommend this book which you can actually loan to your doctor. It will tell him what tests to administer and how to use them to diagnose mercury toxicity:

Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment by Dr. Andrew Cutler

This is an excellent book which is easy enough to read for anyone yet technical enough that any doctor will find it absolutely compelling. I actually keep this on my desk as a reference for answering questions and working with people.

Hope this helps.
