I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Mercury can do so many harmful things to people. Many recover very well after having amalgams removed.

Are there any family or friends locally who can help?

Here is a list of things that can help limit your mercury exposure while the fillings are still in:

I know people who have followed these guidelines and shown remarkable improvement.

I really hope someone locally can help you.
