Your symptoms sound like you are experiencing repeated and possibly also on-going toxic exposure. Practically everyone who is being poisoned by pesticides, heavy metals, solvents and many other toxins are diagnosed with mental illness. Instead of getting help with discovery of the cause, extent of injury and treatment, they get further poisoned with psychiatric drugs adding insult and injury to the primary injury. It does not have to be that way.

Hi all,
I am wondering about the link between mental illness and body toxins.
I have been diagnosed with "bipolar disorder", and generally I have
problems remembering, concentrating, feeling calm, enjoying things I
used to enjoy, feeling connected to the world... When I get overly
desperate, I get into "manic" states where I wander around and say and
do some pretty strange and outrageous things, my emotions get really
extreme, etc. I don't want to end up in the hospital again, and I'm
scared of psych drugs even though I might take them for a while... but
I'm looking for alternatives.
I went to see a "medical intuitive" in December, and she said that my
aura was all broken up like I was full of toxins. Then she gave me
over to this homeopath who is supposedly doing a "blood cleanse" with
these Ayurvedic herbs and tea and these homeopathic remedies. She
also suggested I get my mercury amalgams removed, but not because
they'd be a source of toxicity, but because they'd bother my teeth as
I aged.
I've felt worse and worse lately... My arms and legs ache and are
weak, I have trouble sleeping except with anti-anxiety pills, I am
confused a lot of the time, I can't seem to focus at all, I have
trouble urinating (though sometimes it's a bit better -- maybe the
homeopathy is helping -- who knows?).
I can't help thinking that I'm being taken in by quackery at the
moment, but I want to be able to realistically assess my toxin levels
and figure out what to do about them. I've posted on
adult-metal-chelation and some of them think my symptoms could be due
to mercury poisoning, but who knows? Someone suggested a doctor in
the US (I live in Canada) who has had experience detoxing from mercury
himself, but who knows if mercury is my problem?
In May, I am going to go to a place that does orthomolecular
psychiatry to see if some nutrition can't help me... but right now I
wnat to learn more about toxins and how I can figure out whether I
have a lot in my body, and what to do about them. I live in Winnipeg,
Canada, though, nowhere near major centers where this kind of work is
being done, from what I know...
Is there a connection between toxins and mental illness? Does anyone
have any advice from having followed this route? What steps could I
take without wasting a fortune? A check-list would be easiest for me
to follow, since I am so mentally impaired.

HI Sara, I have no proof of your link between toxicity and mental illness but I do feel one can cause the other. Such as a toxic bowel or Pesticides. Good Luck...

Sara, You need to get a copy of Dr Sherry Rogers' book "Depression, Cured at Last" (available through www.prestigepublishing.com). Try searching the internet...
Sara, Others have already given you some good info about consideration of the causes of your symptoms and about detoxing. In addition to the man-made causes,...
