I thought I was on the way to recovery midway in my amalgam replacement as I lost plenty of excess weight and was feeling much better. After a while though I started feeling much worse.
The time to get well may be related to how long someone was ill and how much toxic metals are in the body. Many who were mercury toxic from fillings also became toxic from other heavy metals as well, since the body was overwhelmed in trying to get the mercury out, and was therefore debilitated in its ability to remove even small amounts of other toxic metals that it could normally remove. Detoxification of heavy metals is done via sulphur compounds, both chelating agents, and the body's glutathione.

Those who fail the tilt table test probably are deficient in sodium. I noticed that I have lost the desire to eat salty foods, and that my diet contained less than 500 mg a day of sodium. Now I make sure to remember to put salt on my food. Those who have high blood pressure thould avoid adding salt to food. It seems like those who fail the tilt table test are likely to have bouts of low blood pressure. Failing the tilt table test is a marker or CFS, which is now believed to be due to mercury toxicity.

"Minerals often deficient related to thyroid fatigue include iodine, sea salt, selenium, magnesium, and zinc, along with the amino acid tyrosine and B vitamins."

"Some of the conditions found in people with CFS or FM or MCS include immune effects, energy metabolism problems, inflammation, adrenal fatigue, homocystein metabolism, fatigue, stress, brain neurotransmitter imbalances, leaky gut. (580,386a,etc.) In addition to metals detox, supplementation has been found clinically effective to deal with these conditions. Immune(ginseng, echineacea, EFAs, curcumin); energy metabolism(CoQ10, NADH, L-carnatine, magnesium) ; Adrenal fatigue(DHEA, licorice, sodium); Stress(glutamine, Adapton); neurotransmitters(tyrosine); homocysteine(B6,B12,folic acid, SAMe); inflammation(antioxidants: N-acetyl-cysteine, alpha lipoic acid), fatigue(ginseng, Mate), digestive support(digestive enzymes, probiotics)"

"Mercury from amalgam interferes with production of cytokines that activate macrophage and neutrophils, disabling early control of viruses and leading to enhanced infection(131,251). Mercury’s activation of inflammatory cytokines and Th2 helper immune cells suppresses the cytotoxic response of T-cells and natural killer immune cells that are the body’s main defense against viruses and such biological pathogens"

I have three conditions associated with mercury toxicity; chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, and fibromyalgia.
