Re: Update...for Jen

[Guest guest]

Jen--

I was reading this for the first time just today, so I know it's months behind .

.. . but,

Have you tried any of the things Andy recommends in " Amalgam Illness " for

depression

and suicidal feelings? He talks in the book about how some people can expect to

feel this

way during the process, and he names the supplements that can help solve it

while you're

detoxing. Isn't it worth it to try (I'm assuming you haven't tried things like

Rhodiola root

extract, which he doesn't mention in the book, or pregnenolone or St. 's

Wort, both of

which he does mention in the book). These things are meant to be like a band-aid

to help

you overcome those feelings of depression and suicidal thoughts, while you

chelate to

allow your brain the chance to be free of the mercury burden. We're in a lot of

debt too, so

I know what the pinch is like, but the way we see it, a lot of our financial

mistakes were a

result of the mercury causing us to exercise very poor judgement . . . and we

can pinch

pennies just a little bit further if it helps us to someday have that good

judgement,

decisiveness, and good, confident feelings about our course in life again . . .

once we're

mercury free. I hope I'm getting myself across clearly here. I just want to

encourage you

not to give up on chelation if you can supplement to overcome those terrible

feelings and

thoughts, because there might be a way out for you still.
