To both previous posts... I feel your pain!

I suffered for several years with growing issues until I found my problem. I searched and searched and for me, it turned out to be the amalgam fillings. When they came out, my life changed dramatically overnight.

Anyway, I grew up in a medical family... many aunts and uncles, and almost all of them doctors of one kind or another.

To get to the point, I would say that it might be a good idea to stick to science. I'm not putting down other methods at all. Being in the field of collecting and publishing natural health research, I am aware of how much there is out there. Of course, if you get your info from TV, you will be very mislead into believing there isn't much or any. Not true at all.

I often recommend that people read the book "It's All In Your Head" by Hal Huggins. This is the book that made the decision for me.

This book has information on diagnosing mercury toxicity, which is not easy.

Mercury works differently in different people and Huggins describes diagnosis as a "professional judgement call".

I wish there was something I could do to help. I was getting desperate those final months. I could only work 4 hours a day and risked losing my business, etc., etc. My help came by surprise from an unexpected source. What a blessing.

Finally, I just want to stress that, if you have the amalgams removed, do it correctly. Not doing it correctly can lead to failure of your body to begin detoxing and your symptoms can remain leading you to believe you have not found the solution at all.

I was very tempted to rush to my dentist and have them all taken out. Thankfully, I didn't and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I took a few days to make sure I found the right dentist with proper training and a proper respect for the dangers of mercury.

Make sure you find a properly trained dentist who will take all the precautions necessary to prevent unnecessary exposure and who will perform the proceedure in a way to give you the best chance of entering detox mode. This is very important.

I know people who tried taking a little MSM to see if they got sick. The sulphur can raise mercury blood levels if you have a chronic exposure, like amalgams. Although I really don't recommend this to anybody, it might be useful to provide additional evidence to yourself that this is the source of the problems.

Please take time to read other post on this forum about foods to avoid when you have amalgams.

Wish I could be more help. Please keep us posted.
