Sorry I'm too brainfogged and tired to read this whole thread but.. i think the main problem is: how do we REALLY know that its the mercury that is keeping us sick and not something else? There really should be a good test for this but there isn't.

I took my 5 amalgams out last September and October using protection and antioxidants. I didn't notice much of a difference in symptoms. I tried low doses of DMSA - made me very depressed and I freaked out. I tried ALA - that makes me crazy.

I just dont know what to do next. I'm just taking antioxidants and hope for the best. I wish there was some ultimate test that would tell us what the MAJOR problem really is!!
