As someone who hasent really started a detoxifacation program yet (last filling will be removed at end june) Im wondering what general progress experience people on this board have had with this. Did your neurological symptoms got better or worse while detoxifying?

What I gathered from swedish and danish research results, was that neurological symptoms has the highest recovery rate when compaired to other mercury induced afflictions. However science often states that brain cells arent able to regenerate at all, which is a bit of a contradiction, atleast for me

Yeah it's confusing to me too. Though I have heard that some mental symptoms do not necessarily mean it's from the brain itself, but can be caused by toxicity elsewhere, just as problems elsewhere can be created by brain mercury. E.g. hormonal problems and ongoing yeast can be indicative of brain mercury. Just as some mental symptoms maybe indicative of gut/liver toxicity.

My mental symptoms often got worse during detox. Each time you detox, you stir up the toxins and at the time you can feel like you're getting worse and it can make you feel like giving up. Either way, I felt bad anyway, so intensification of symptoms was often the sign that I was hitting the target, particularly when followed by some improvement, even if it was temporary, as more toxins would then rise to the surface and I'd feel bad again. But when you keep at it, those little patches of relief and improvement can start to increase further and last longer. It's just a case of persisting and not giving up.

Yeah, I too have heard that some cells are unable to regenerate. I'm not sure what to believe. But I think the body has amazing healing powers if it is given the chance and sources of toxicity are removed and existing toxicity is "detoxed" and reduced enough for health to start shining through again. One may never be 100%, but if you're used to being so chronically ill, then any improvement can feel dramatic!

If you have any candida symptoms, then you should be taking molybdenum supplements. 500 mcg or 1,000 mcg a day. The molybdenum particularly helps if you feel like you have a hangover even though you didn't drink. I you decide to take 1,000 mcg a day of molybdenum, then taking 2 mg of copper at a different meal might be a good idea, since large amounts of molybdenum cause the body to increase copper excretion.

Many of the brain symptoms from mercury are due to candida overgrowth and the toxins they produce. Molybdenum is need to make the enzyme to break down these aldehydes. Hopefully when you get the mercury out of your body, the candida overgrowth will disappear.

You can plan a strategy to help combat the candida. The candida may cause constipation and make you more vulnerable to parasites. These block your body's ability to detoxify itself.

Spices such as cayenne pepper and ginger increase bile flow. One of the main ways the body gets rid of mercury is through the bile.

Oh, well Im glad to hear it does get better, even with the occasional feels of setback. This sure is a highly annoying thing to suffer from, particulary annoying since it could so easily be avoided if the world leaders/lobbyists had just a little precious bit of conscience.

And yes, the human brain properly is far to complicated for the human brain to ever figure out. So maybe one shouldent sit to much at what the scientists say. Infact, today when I did an advanced google search on brain regeneration (and limited to from the last year only) This article seem to suggest that the brain CAN restore itself, mostly by relocating former abilities into iddle parts of the brain, that wasent much used anyway:

JK98: I do have candida, however I can somehow keep it down with a strict diet (cant kill it, though) Thanks for the advice on molybdenum, I will try it out in the near future. I'd properly stay low on the cayenne as I have a resting crohn's in the small intestine. But ginger should be fine.

Thanks to both of you for the info

This seems to suggest that exercise can produce new braincells, in the area of the brain that has to do with memory and depression (not getting depressed, that is) Maybe this means that other parts of the brain could be stimulated aswell? Unless the memory/happiness center is entirely unique, what do I know.

I would be willing to bet that improved circulation stimulates new cells as well.

Thats a very likely thought, I think. Recent studies have shown that the consumption of the well known blood circulation agent gingko biloba taking over a 4 year period can prevent Alzheimer with 47%. So its quite likely to be doing *something*
