Eric, I couldn't agree more. Rather than amalgams, my exposure was from Thimerosal vaccine preservative, and, surprise-surprise, every man and his dog, including several doctors, told me this was rediculous (sound familiar?), but my symptoms matched those of Hg-poisoning and tests now prove I'm Hg-intoxicated. Like you, chelation is gradually reducing the severity of reaction to many of the foods I've gradually become intolerant of due to mercury's effects on liver chemistry and enzymes.
I am reminded of the Chinese proverb:
“The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it"
All the best, and good luck with your ongoing chelation efforts.
