    Hi, My mother was "diagnosed" with having mercury in her system as an
    underlying cause to her health problems. This was through a
    naturapath. I think alot about your situation depends on who did the
    diagnosing and what their treatment was. My mom had 'cleansing"
    treatments and had every filling (a lot of them!) replaced as part of
    this treatment. She passed away anyway, I don't think mercury had
    anything to do with her situation. 

    On the other hand I live in Chicagoland where there were a fair
    number of mercury poisonings due to a big scandal with nicor and
    defective water meters removed from homes improperly.  I very clearly
    remember an acquaintance of mine who had two neighbors with the
    problem. They were moved out of their home...given a special diet and
    their home was cleaned by haz-mat teams. I know 6 months later they
    were given a good prognosis and this was all through traditional
    medicine. There may also have been chelation therapy involved, my
    mother underwent that as a part of removing excess iron from her
    blood stream for another problem. That is a fairly involved procedure
    that is not as simple as some people believe, but it was effective. 

    Hope that wasn't too anecdotal...I would probably get a couple of
    opinions from experts. My mom was using Loyola, a very well know
    teaching hospital in Chicago and there were still some questions
    about appropriate treatment. 

Best of Luck,
Karen
