- Hi Amy...
Well, the question is what kind of test did you do? Most tests being performed now are not able to diagnose mercury accurately, unfortunately. Even with hair testing - the result and it's significance is counter intuitive. People who end up with problems dealing with mercury (well, it's a problem for everyone, even if the issues aren't acute!)... but the rule is the more your body retains mercury, the less will show up in your hair - if you are one who has a problem detoxing mercury. Most physicians base toxicity levels on the level in the hair, but that is inaccurate. I can point you to several references, but here's a good one to check out: Boyd Haley on youtube. He goes into this topic about 1/2 way through the video.
I recommend a method of hair test analysis, based on the overall elements present, as developed by Andy Culter PhD. It's not expensive to have the test done ($80) and I'm happy to give you more info if you're interested. The symptoms you are describing fit the profile perfectly - you might be surprised what mercury does to a body (and mind!). The group I just created is a place to start (http://be-mercury-free.ning.com) - I have added several links already to a lot of the relevant resources. I'm guessing that it will be easier for people to go to this forum as it develops as a way to comprehend this info, since right now people often get confused when I point them towards these other websites. So if you were to join, I'd love to talk about it there, and that way I can potentially reach many more people with this information!!
Namaste'

- Hi Amy, I saw your comment in the Candida group. Your symptoms are common for people who are suffering from mercury toxicity (usually due to dental amalgams). Mercury actually causes chronic candida - and all kind of things by messing up metabolic processes - the adrenals in particular. Let me know if you'd like more info! Good luck!
