It is very important to have your amalams removed by a dentist that is willing to use precautions. The dentist needs to put an O2 mask on your nose, & use a rubber dam to keep the excess bits out of your mouth. I got really sick despite the precautions, cuz the vapors go everywhere. Minimizing the exposier is paramount. Then follow the recipe for detox. Mercury has an infinity for hiding in brain cells. That is why it takes 2-3 years to detox.

recipe for "Brain Stew"
1 gal purified or distilled water
1/2 bunch of fresh Cilantro
1/4 cup Chamomile, Rosemary, Gotu Kola, Ginko
1/8-1/4 cup Lobilia ( for muscle pain)
3-8 black or green tea bags (or buy bulk)
1/2-1 cup Spearmint or Peppermint or any flavor you choose (work with it)
Boil gal of water, steep overnite, strain herbs in the AM & add another gal of water. Makes 2 gal. drink 2-12oz glasses daily (this brew is very energizing so drink early in the day. Do this for 3 weeks on 1 week off-repeat.

If I ever get the blues, all I have to do is read the kind words that you all have left for me.

Trillian,

I've decided to buy my tea from Pacific Botanicals. The last thing I need is floride messing with my thyroid.

Next on my to do list is follow the diabetic or glycemic index diet. I have hypoglycemia. That contributes to the low-grade depression (dysthymia).

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. And you are a truly remarkable human being in the light of self-healing, and always holding on to yourself you've come such a long way. I wish you, your son, and all your loved ones love, light, hope and peace of mind

The herbal teas remedies sound good to me- it would be one of my personal preferable methods for additional healing- the term is for myself, though. I've been thinking over detoxification recently- there are programs as such available in my area, now it's only up to me whether I want to undertake it sooner rather than later...they're expensive. But detoxifying my own body should be really worthwhile...

I came across with the book "The Omega-3 Connection: How You Can Restore Your Mental Wellbeing and Beat Memory Loss and Depression" (it's odd that its title in the book is slightly different from the one on the cover- "treat" instead of "beat") by Andrew L Stoll, MD- the omega-3 fatty acids and their beneficial effects on our mental health have been discussed by physicians, researchers etc in the US and in the UK for at least over a decade. There are three different types of omega-3 fatty acids: the plant-derived alpha-linolenic acid (ALA or ALNA), and the remaining two which are found largely in fish oil: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). I've just started comparing the book with another, "Plant Based Nutrition and Health" by Stephen Walsh, PhD. In his book he argued that ALA/ALNA could be consumed by humans, then be transformed into EPA and DHA in the human body- though Dr Stoll has a different view; I have just begun reading these books. The modern day Western diet has made many of us having omega-3 deficiency. There's been evidence that omega-3 fatty acids can help our mental health a great deal. I just felt like sharing this with you folks, perhaps some of you have already known this or have even discussed this, I don't know.

I think it was thebigaliza who mentioned feeling better when getting close to the nature- which I totally agree on; I think it's because of the endorphine in the nature, e.g. the trees/woods, the fresh air...during the day in particular...and certainly more than that...the nature could be a good healing means, an ideal cure...if one knows well how to make the best of it.

To all-

I've been having similar experiences too. There are times right after having eaten certain foods, I would almost immediately become dysthymic, or even have suicidal thoughts; fortunately, they rarely last long enough to cause serious problems as they've been appearing on and off. Personally, for me, I'm not sure if it's psychological or biological, but usually after I have eaten meat (not recently), my mood would suddenly plunge. I don't think it was feelings of guilt. At least on a conscious level I never felt that guilty about it, but that was what would happen to me. Worth further studying.

I had the standard skin test done. That is a diagnostic procedure right out of the Spanish Inquisition! I had to lay on my stomache for 15-20 minutes while large welts formed on my back. All I remember thinking is SOMEONE COME SCRATCH MY BACK!!! They can do a blood test for allergies, but it doesn't make as much money in the US. Demand it any way! That test was horrible!

Stay well all.
