Hi Kathy,
I struggled with issues such as this, plus chronic fatigue, IBS and occasional depression. I haven't had my amalgam fillings out, but will never have another one again. What helped me massively, was adopting a low fat raw vegan diet. I still occasionally have cooked food but it's very rarely nowadays, I try to keep off it.
I can now eat things that I was becoming very intolerant too, like tomatoes and wheat (raw sprouted). Chemicals don't bother me as much, but I do try to keep them out of my life. I no longer use toothpaste, soap, laundry washing powder, washing up liquid, deodorant, after-shave, suntan lotion, skin cream, and so on. Anything that you put on your skin or in your mouth gets absorbed and becomes part of you, so now I only use water. My body and teeth are much healthier and cleaner than they were before I changed my diet and lifestyle.
My guess is that your body is full of toxins, mercury possibly being a contributory factor, but also toxins from your diet and from things that you expose yourself too. Our body can only cope with so many toxins, so find every way possible to reduce toxic burdens you place up on yourself. My other guess is that your digestive system is perforated (possibly by a candida overgrowth), this allows toxins to very quickly enter your blood stream, and makes you very sensitive to things. A very clean low fat raw food diet helped me in both these areas.
I hope that helps.
Kind regards,
Stuart
