So I made the biggest mistake in my life and went to an untrained dentist to get the mercury out of my mouth. within a couple days after I got them removed I got severely poisoned. fast forward a couple months...I still have a stinging burning sensation in my brain. I get worried and call my parents and tell them I think I have mercury poisoning. we do some tests to see my urine-mercury level. it came out as low. we also did a blood test which came out as low. so basically the doctors said I wasn't mercury poisoned. however I knew I was which was extremely frustrating. I told my parents I was still poisoned despite the tests and they thought I was "delusional". So therefore they put me on anti-psychotics which have a wide array of side effects. a couple months after being on the drugs I decide life has screwed me over and decided to kill myself. I went to a bridge in downtown and got close to jumping but then some bystanders convinced me not to. they called the police and i ended up in a mental hospital for a week. they drug me up even more and ive lived like this for the past year. ive tried virtually everything to detox the mercury but nothing is working. what do you guys think i should do?

How many mercury fillings did you have? How quickly were they replaced? I had 25 mercury fillings, however mine were replaced over the course of a year. I had to take a few breaks in the process, as the removal was making me sick.

Which prescription drugs are you on now? Imo psychiatric drugs are best avoided unless there is no other choice, and even then they should be used for the shortest period possible. Mercury poisoning causes many imbalances in the body. Mecury is well know to produce psychiatric problems.

Imo you need to focus on nutritional deficiencies.

I suggest you read this web page carefully, as it outlines nutritional deficiencies, and tests that typically show abnormalities in those who are mercury poisoned.

Mega, it has been shown now by some mercury experts that the sickest mercury toxic patients are the ones showing the lowest levels of mercury on testing. This is a big problem because it usually shows they are not eliminating the mercury, but holding on more tightly to it.

Basically if the patient has obvious symptoms of mercury toxicity, yet is showing low levels on testing, ideally they want to get those levels up higher so they know the mercury is then coming out (being excreted).

Testing for mercury is difficult. There are various reasons for high or low levels and it maybe different for each patient. The usual way to discover if mercury is at work is by checking out minerals on hair tests and there is often a pattern showing mercury is disrupting minerals. Plus, some may do proper challenge tests to see if they can get a dumping of stored mercury into areas that can be tested. This is risky, because in doing so, it may mean the mercury gets dumped all over the place in the process and the testing may not be done correctly or the method of the challenge itself and again, levels may not show an accurate indication of what is really going on.

Please do not buy into labels of being psycho or neurotic or any such things. I am so sorry that you have had this unprotected removal and your suicidal feelings are NOT abnormal, but rather a direct response of severe poisoning/sickness. Please keep this in your mind, especially when you feel despair so you will understand that it is not you! I've been there and my goodness, I cannot tell you how close I was to doing myself in. The horror, the despair can indescribeable. It's incredible what impact it can have on the mind.

Please hang on. Even if it is by the very skin of your teeth and get yourself some proper/safe chelation. I'd suggest andy Cutler's protocol ASAP, proper diet for possible yeast/gluten complications (eliminate sugar/wheat/gluten/yeast products), and add supportive supplements. But I'd start with diet/supplements first and see if that alone boosts you. Die off/healing symptoms are often expected, so people may feel worse when they do this and cravings often kick in, but sticking to this vigilantly can make a big difference alone! The last thing you want or need is yeast/gluten problems on top of chronic mercury poisoning. That can be more than enough to send an already poisoned person over the edge and it did me, until I corrected my diet. Supplements were just an added bonus, but were not the foundation.

Chelation with Cutler's protocol may then start to hopefully level out the awful poisoning you have received and hopefully reduce things over time to a more balanced state.

I can tell you 2 things mega:

1) you are NOT crazy.
2) andy cutler, andy cutler, andy cutler. if there's one mercury detox source that can help you, it's his word.
please start reading on it.

ps. hi Bex;)

lmao sorry to laugh math but the exact same thing happened to me
(involuntarily committed lol). I just figured out my problem though so no longer worried about anything. If i could advocate one thing for everyone seriously unwell on this board (like jinx and sounds like yourself) it would be barium swallow ct scan thing. Gives very detailed look at your guts andwhats going on inside them/any problems. I would never have found my problem unless this test was performed. And if nothing comes up at least you can rule that part of it out. Also organic acid profiles are pretty detailed tests too of all the different biochemical pathways in the body so they have a lot of utility. Good luck

Hi Jinx!

what has it shown samh, the ct scan?

for me it showed my duodenum is partially blocked/being crushed in between my abdominal aorta and mesenteric artery (has like a 3mm gap to fit through when it should be 10-20 or something) its a heaps rare thing called superior mesenteric artery syndrome so im guessing thats why i was so messed up by chelators and everything.. but the thing is unless i did this test,i would never have found out,so it pays to just keep testing and testing...wats ur current state jinx?

oh, thx sam.

It's a mix of better and terribly worse.

Is this after a while on Cutlers protocol or other things Jinx? If it is just Mercury and you are on the protocol for a while and are terribly worse at times then why do you recommend it? I am not picking just asking some questions there Jinx.

Do you have have a few ailments or just one in short? It might be alot more than Mercury which I figure mine is. I know I have Candida from rounds of Antibiotics in high school (Steroids too as in inhalers), so that is a huge problem for me and has been. When Candida is down I feel alot better overall an can take more things, maybe the poster can look there as well?
