Re: New Member; Really Need Help, Diane

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane:

I have battled a dark depression for most of my life too, part of it

was a natural response to my life circunstances, but the dark part of

it, the hopelessness, the nihilism of not finding anything worth it,

the resistant part of it was mercury related. Do not hesitate to take

antidepresants to carry you over until your body is healed. You may

have to do some research on it because of the suicide ideation.

This is an outline for you:

1)- Read the F&Q's of the autism-mercury group.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/files/Mercury-Autism%

20FAQ

2)-GO TO PAge 135, AND LOOK AT THE LIST OF SUPPLEMENTS THAT CAN HELP

WITH DEPRESSION.

3)- Choose a few supplements and see how they work for you.

Read page 68: " If you are upset or emotionally disturbed, or

have " crazy " thoughts, take glutamine... "

ALA was the thing that was able to remove the dark cloud for me.

Therapy only worked with life stuff, it couldn't change the

nihilistic feeling and the profound hopelessness.

I was afraid I couldn't take stuff every 3 or 4 hours round the

clock, so I started with DMPS every 8 hours. And believe me, I got so

hooked on it, because it felt so good, that I started chelating every

3 hours in no time! You can start with very small doses of chelators.

Good luck, take good care of yourself, and know that it is not you,

it is the mercury in you.
