Brutus,

Mercury is known to make people "not care" about things, including their own lives, which is part (not all) of the reason it's known to cause suicidal thoughts.

Your symptoms are right in line with known symptoms of mercury toxicity. I would hesitate to have a doctor who does not have special training in mercury toxicity test you because standard hospital tests are virtually useless (I grew up in a medical family). Work only with a physician who has been specially trained in this or you will spend the next 5 years declining and wondering why.

Some of the low energy, bad thoughts and dizzyness can be caused by the following side-effects of mercury:

• Mercury inhibits T4 to T3 (thyroid hormone) conversion which will lower thyroid function and can affect you emotionally.
• Mercury binds and renders useless iodine which causes thyroid starvation which can cause weight gain and depression.
• Mercury literally destroys nerve cells causing a myriad of neurological diseases. Watch this: How Mercury Causes Brain Neuron Degeneration Video
• Mercury inhibits processes related to sugar processing and can eventually lead to diabetes.
• Mercury indirectly destroys colon lining and can lead to IBS and other digestive issues.
• Mercury inhibits the methylation of B12 causing a rise in Homocysteine levels which leads to heart disease and other circulatory issues.
• Many more bad things.

There is a host of information in the following book which I recommend you give to your physician:

Since you take protein, I would also raise your awareness about NutraSweet which many protein supplements contain. NutraSweet is highly toxic and lowers performance because it is converted to methanol (wood alcohol) and formaldehyde in the digestive system. Check this out for more info:

Lastly, if you find you do have amalgams in, here are some guidelines to be aware of:
