Almost all sufferers of amalgams have adrenal disorders. That can be easily measured in a lab test called Adrenal Stress Index Test. It's even available online as a home test, or at integrative MDs and naturopath doctors. They use it all the time. It measures saliva cortisol in 4 samples throughout a day. The state of adrenal function is clearly shown on a graph after the lab analyzes the samples.
The PHd author of Amalgam Illness says that when antidepressants are not working or giving paradoxical reactions, the adrenals need support. That means either licorice, adrenal cortex extract, or in most cases low doses of physiological replacement hydrocortisone, just enough to replace what is missing. Not the high dangerous therapeutic doses used to treat diseases
There are forums at Yahoo specifically for chelation patients post-amalgams and probably the one single thing that helps them all the most is some sort of adrenal support.My basic message to you in all I have written is:
There is a cause of your disease and it is treatable...but it almost surely involves looking outside the limited world of psychiatry. After all your failures in psychiatry, it makes sense to reassess the diagnosis. For example, maybe the diagnosis is mercury toxicity, and the paradoxical resistant depression is the result, but not the disease. Or a hidden Lyme disease. Or some other hidden pathogen where a month on an antibiotic would be a good test to see if there is any improvement. When it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is probably mercury.You know what capital letters mean in an internet message? They signify screaming. If I went back and rewrote everything, I would probably capitalize much of it. :-)
When the correct disease is treated, symptoms go away.
