You are absolutely right. Got to keep hopeful. I read that every cell in the body is regenerated every 7 years, and if so, there is thus a very good chance of neural regeneration etc.
Alcohol has a devastating effect on the body for a limited time, but then normality is returned, so I think there's every reason to be optimistic about recovery and improvement <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Maybe the chance of full recovery depends a lot on the extent of the damage done and the individual response to treatment. I think I got sicker than a lot of people do with mercury fillings, so my chances of a 100% recovery might be less, but I am very optimistic that in time I will improve significantly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

An article I read that influenced me immensely was regarding how a child developed OCD after having the fillings but then recovered after removal.
