I'm not sure about that dentist, as I've not heard of him (nor many others). But as he follows the Hal Huggins protocol, I'm sure he'll be a good bet.

Yes I understand your symptoms well. I have also been underweight with this condition and had those very same symptoms. I was a mess with it. A jibbering, anxiety ridden, underweight mess.

I know a dentist that will not remove amalgams from his toxic patients until he has prepared them for the job. His preparation starts with diet, supplements and then he gets onto detox.

The first thing he does is puts them on a candida diet. This can be very necessary. This alone may actually help such a person gain a healthier appetite and gain some weight also. But it helps reduce toxicity in the body and the gut and liver then become much better able to handle the existing mercury. Immunity can benefit alot from diet.

But the source of these problems of course is highly likely the mercury. However, candida comes onboard with many immune suppressed conditions and can be very helpful to treat.

The first things to exclude are sugar and wheat/gluten and yeast products. You may have to limit or eliminate high carb foods too, but that depends on the level of candida and how serious it is. But the first few things alone can make a big difference. One may not need to be as strict as I am and eat only a low carb diet.

But I would also suggest that you make sure you get enough protein in eggs and meat and fats in butter, fish oil (mercury tested), lard, extra virgin olive oil etc etc. These are also healing and helpful to a mercury toxic body. Hal Huggins recommends this also. Get enough good salt for adrenals too and other functions.

And supplements can also be of help. Vitamin C, vitamin E, B complex, selenium (as long as it doesn't make you feel worse), minerals like zinc, magnesium, etc. People often figure out what works and what doesn't by a bit of experimentation.

You may find that the diet alone may help and you may also find you're more tolerant to supplements and better able to find out which ones are going to compliment the diet. If you decide to do it (if you haven't already).

Be aware, that if you haven't done this before, you can go into a detox period. Where excessive candida can start to die off (reduce) and toxins can also start to come out, so you can may get symptoms like headache, craving sugar etc, dizziness, weakness, nausea, tiredness, etc etc. You may also find you need to sleep more and may even need to lie down during the day sometimes. It's hard to say what symptoms one will get when they go on such a diet.

But it's usually a good sign things are working. It can take a few weeks before things improve! Some get there earlier, some may take longer.

I'd consider this as part of the preparation to having your amalgams removed. But it's up to yu!
