ok now I am certain that I am both mercury and copper toxic. Recently I've been following copper detox supplementation and diet and have really noticed a decrease in certain symptoms, however others remain, and seem more pronounced which I suspect are due to the mercury. A reason why the mercury symptoms may be more pronounced is that I stopped taking algin because I'm pretty sure it was increasing my copper symptoms, and was afraid it was depleting my body of zinc therefore hindering my copper detox. I think now that my copper levels are down (at least I hope) I'm gonna start taking algin again and c if it helps.

As for the difference in symptoms I have noticed that copper makes you much more worked up and stimulated adding a great deal of anxiety and panic. It made me paranoid all the time and worrying and also sometimes made me delusional about the outside world. I think someone on this forum already mentioned the stimulating affect copper has on them.

Mercury symptoms I have noticed lately on the other hand have some similarities like anxiety, but in a different way that is more depressing on the body. I tend to lose all hope and self worth and confidence, I become irratible and angry over nothing and feel like lashing out at people. I think "withdrawn" is the best word I can think of when describing what mercury does to me.

I hope this helps people work out whether they might be copper toxic too.
