I don't have the answers for you but I am a nurse for over 16 years and I truly believe in amalgam illness.
I also suffer from the autoimmune neuromuscular disease myasthenia gravis and one of the theories a while back was it could be caused by amalgam poisoning. I have also found out quite by accident that I am allergic to mercury as well.
I am 48 and have smoked most of my life until last January. I would recommend you try the patches, for as long as you need them. Get a stress ball and carry it with you and use it when your hands get antsy. Always carry candy or gum or anything to satisfy the oral fixation for the ciggie. I always still carry Good and Plenty.
Good luck,
Jinny

I am curious though, how many people on here who have "suffered"
through this are smokers ? I am but I have all the symptoms of dental
amalgam illness, I have fillings in my mouth and all the teeth that i
have that are bad are all fillings, now my gums are receeding though,
my doctors want to keep putting me on a astupid antidepressant, but I
am not depressed, I am ticked off cause they are not treating the
problem, they are treating the symptoms and no one buys into the
amalgam thing or wants to give me any thing such as zyban or welbutrin
to help me quit smoking, i have smoked for only 12 yrs, i know this is
no excuse but i have tried to quit, more than once and have been
unsuccesful, not that i want to be but i am addicted. All of these
symptoms with this thing how do we know it isnt cancer and not dental
amalgam illness ? the symptoms arethe same as an arsenical cancer ,
very very scared in Illinois.
