Hi Kathryn,
I only just joined this group as I am thinking about getting my
amalgams removed even though I cant really afford it. I have all of your
symptoms but with joint pain and worsening insomnia too. I thought I had
yeast infections earlier in the year and, after getting a lot better to
start with on a careful diet my arthritis is still getting worse so
amalgam replacement is the only place left for me to go. I was just a
bit concerned about your narrow diet.
I was reading a book about elimination diets and it says that it is very
unwise to narrow down your foods too much because the body can develop
new intolerances that way. The main thing is to find out what you cannot
eat by checking foods one at a time. This can be tricky because of the
time lag but if you keep a strict diary of foods you are trying and mark
how bad your symptoms are each day (out of 10 maybe) then you will soon
see patterns. I cannot touch any grains. The tuna sounds dangerous
because of mercury. You should be eating lots of green vegetables and
avoiding more than a small amount of fruit because of sugar content
which the yeast really likes. If there are foods you really crave they
are usually among the ones that might be causing the problem.
If you have a lot of fillings it is very unwise to start a mercury
detox because it can start pulling mercury out of your fillings and into
the body. Mercury detox should only happen after you have replaced the
fillings. Could you not start doing them very gradually? I know its
expensive though. :(


> I am new to this group and have been using a detox of Apple Cider
Vinegar, 6 cloves of Garlic and the juice of one lemon each morning for
three weeks for symptoms of Candida and Leaky Gut and Irritable Bowel
Syndrome with Constipation. I am eating only tuna, alvocado, and eggs
right now. Now from further reading, it looks like all of this may be
related to about 20 amalgam fillings in my mouth, which I don't have the
financial resources to remove. I am wondering if the detox that I am
using will help with the mercury or if I need to do something else.

someone might make a recommedation.
