Hi there,

A brief introduction. My name is Seán and I'm from Ireland. About 5 years ago, my health began to deteriorate after getting amalgam fillings (7 of them). Over the duration of the 5 years, I saw a number of GPs, had about 20 hospital visits, and even 2 visits to an infectious disease specialist. All of them stated that they could find nothing wrong with me.

My problems began with a newly formed intolerance to gluten & yeast based foods. My symptoms included a poor immune system, a constant feeling of being unwell, routine colds, poor bowel movements and extreme brain fog.

After alot of research, I read about the problems associated with mercury toxicity. So I opted to spend over a grand on replacing my amalgam fillings with composite fillings. The dentist I visited is the only one within my area that seems to be aware of the dangers of mercury toxicity, and he refuses to use amalgam fillings. He was very careful in removing the mercury, using a heavy suction and facemask for me when removing.

I recently sent off a lab-test to test my mercury levels. I'm awaiting on it back, but I cannot see any other reason for my health deteriorating as bad as it has. The feeling of unwellness and brain fog is particularly bad.

I've read that mercury toxicity can cause brain fog, and that it can also lead to issues such as candida growth - which might explain my intolerance to yeast and gluten.

This is my last hoorah. I've been fighting this for 5 years, and it's really got the best of me. I plan on beginning chelation, but I'm unsure whether to go down the route of DMSA or cilantro/chlorella. In the medium time, I've been taking heavy doses of vitimin C, and milk thistle and I was told it would help me. I also use glutathione supplements, but I've been told the best thing to do is to try and produce this from a high protein, meat-strong diet.

Could anyone confirm whether or not by the sounds of my story that I may infact have mercury toxicity? I have tested absolutely everyone other avenue, and just can't find a solution.

Thanks in advance! I'm glad to have found a like-minded community.

Regards,
Seán
