Hi,
My name is Marc. I could not possibly tell my whole life story in one post. But maybe over a period of time more of my story can be shared with the members of this board. I am new here.
Maybe starting at the begining is not so important so I won't. I had an awakening about three or more years ago. It all started with what I saw going on in the presidential election process and the way that the media was handling it. It was so blatently obvious that something was amiss. If ever there was a tranparecy into the lack of integrity of the election process and the compliance of the media, this had to be the greatest era of all.

As I started researching further, one bit of information led to the next and I started getting a bigger picture of how world really operates and who is pulling the strings. It was during this process that I discovered how toxic mercury is and that dental amalgams are hazardous to your health. this was first brought to my attention while watching a David Icke video on youtube.

After that, everything clicked and it explained why I had experineced depression for so many years and why I had suffered from so many health probelems. I called DAMS and got information from them. As soon as I found a mercury free dentist close to my home, I just could not get my filling out fast enough. I litterally wanted it gone "yesterday".

In the two years that followed, I was quite naive about what to expect and did no chelation. I was under the false assumption that the mercury would come out on it's own in good time. I found out the hard way that it would not when I weened off of the antidepressant medication that I had been taking form many years.

Then I needed answers. And I started researching mercury toxicity further. I started to read as much as I could about chelation and found out that it was a long drawn out process and somewhat complex. After grappling with this reality ( and fighting it somewhat) I finally got on board with it and have been doing it for the past four months. Before doing it correctly with DMSA, I was uing only Cilantro. And that got me into a heap of trouble. If anyone here ever questions the efficacy of Cilantro, try doing it improperly the way that I did it without the chelator and you will find out how well it expells the mercury from your cells! In my case it worked well to my detriment when using it without a proper chelator.

Most of what russ has said about mercury poisoning applies to me as well. It defined me: my personality, my intellect, my level of achievement in life. In short, it did not make me a very appealing person. I spent many years being stupid, half witted, bitter. I took my family for granted because I was not mentally capable of having a decent relationship with anyone. Most of all, I took life for granted. In retrospect, I now see that my perspective of the world and my values were severely compromised.
