Hi Seth,

Since the 70's the mercury used in the amalgams are much stronger.....many dentists are using upwards of 75% mercury in amalgams now. So my guess is yes, you are probably mercury toxic.

You should NOT do a candida cleanse until you remove the mercury......"Mercury feeds Candida but Candida controls mercury"......the candida keeps the mercury from turning into the vapor form methyl mercury and the vapor form of mercury can cross the blood/brain barrier and can also go deep into the cells.

And you must find a dentist that will replace the mercury/amalgams with something other then mercury/amalgams.....these dentists are harder to find. You must search for them.....Diamond Lite is the best, Diamond Crown.....then there are others.

Stay away from sugar, carbs, bread, milk! This will help a lot.
Eat primarily meat and veggies.
Drinking water with fresh squeezed lemon in it.
Vitamin C (lots of it), Potassium (1 pill a day) and Magnesium is helpful.

I've not heard of any mercury tests that are very accurate.

I hope this helps,
