Getting the Mercury Out Paperback – May 12, 2011

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 63 ratings

At the age of 30, Aine Ni Cheallaigh began to develop mysterious symptoms. Her health was eroding and she felt that she was aging faster than everyone around her. Suspecting that toxins were to blame, she had her mercury fillings removed. But restoring her health wasn't going to be that simple. Over the following months, she found herself catapulted into a nightmare of mental and physical illness. Getting the Mercury Out follows this ordinary woman's quest to solve her health mystery. Can she cure a disease that the medical establishment won't even admit is real? Can she find a treatment that will restore her to health and sanity? Sometimes funny, often heart-wrenching, this book is a deeply engaging story of personal struggle and endurance. It's an eye-opener for those who are curious about mercury poisoning, and an absolute must-read for anyone grappling with the desperate search for healing.

I am very grateful for this book. I knew that mercury was an underlying issue for me but no clue how to go about doing anything about it. Over ten years the fact that my amalgams were removed by someone not educated in how to properly remove mercury from someone's mouth became a muddled back thought as my health crashed and no doctor helped me. But now with an understanding of why my health is so poor I can move forward to heal. THIS book truly has given me strength of heart to move forward. Told candidly and with such heart, I could not put this book down and stayed up to read it cover to cover in one evening. I watched the sun coming up hours later with the feeling that someone else had cleared the pathway and all I needed to do was follow her light. Excellent read. Well written - no - I take that back. It is VERY well written and I do hope to see more books by this author in time.

This is an easy to read, informative and well written book. It is a story that should be read as part of the curriculum at Medical Schools across the world, as it advises of the travesty that is the placement of mercury in millions of humans mouths! I've been affected by mercury amalgam fillings and the first 60 pages of the book was like the life I have already lived out. I'm not entirely sure yet if the Andy Cutler protocol is definitely the best mode to wellness but for this reader it gave a great insight into the healing process and how difficult it is.

This story is not only a delightful and fast read, but a victory dance on the other side of mercury toxicity. My son is reading it now. Then my wife. And pastor. I review this as someone who also failed to chose the white fillings, but who had other exposures as well, and who is about to embark on this same trip. My path will differ. My sex is different. My age is different. My background is different. Yet the story for me is a heartening, and human look at what it is like to have your body's systems impaired and your 'selfness' being destroyed by mercury. it is the story of pluck and fear, of hope and despair. It is so much more than girl has health, woman loses health, and woman regains health. The pain and payback are in the areas of personal and relationship development at the core of who the author is to herself and her loved ones. After reading about supplemnets and chelation regimes, this book is a breath of fresh air. It shows what a strong will with the right support can do. It is a must read for anyone who suspects mercury toxicity is at the root of their medical issues, and for friends and family of such people. It is also a sweet and inspiring story for anyone to enjoy. However, in this case 'Old Yeller' lives to write this book and more!

I got this book and read it all in a few hours. It was one of the most interesting books that I have ever read. Very well written. It was like an awesome suspense story, I couldn't wait to get to the end. Full of humor at the same time so it wasn't depressing at all, it was full of great information but kept me laughing too!

If you have been sick with Chronic fatigue, food allergies, IBS or any bowel issues, or pain and you want answers, or have been getting sicker and sicker with each passing year -- this book might have a lot of those answers for you! I know it did for me. This book motivated me to do what I have been wanting to do for years!

Thank you so much for the Author of this book for helping my kids get their mother back!!

This is a must read!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2017
Yes, this was a well-written memoir about a young woman's struggle with illness. It is an intriguing story and I am happy that she recovers in the end. However, the title and the book are misleading as the author also had high levels of lead in her system that she was also attempting to clear. The symptoms of mercury and lead poisoning are similar. Therefore, her symptoms could never be definitively ascribed to lead or mercury. But, most importantly - if anyone thinks that this book will teach you how to chelate, it will not. There are much better, clearer protocols and as the author must agree - the process is as individual as a thumb print. She does not list clear protocols and has expectations that every time she changes a dose or adds a drug or subtracts one (which she does continually) - whatever happens to her next - is related to that change. There is no way of knowing that and in fact, I do not believe them to be connected in most instances. Also, it is a small annoyance that she refers to her girlfriend as her girlfriend throughout the book - never giving her a name - but in the epilogue - provides her name.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the amalgam controversy, particularly those who are, or who suspect they are, suffering from mercury poisoning due to amalgam fillings.

Excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read if you are on a health journey - Its always good to hear other people's experiences.

An interesting perspective on one woman's journey to improved health. Having been on a similar journey i can identify with the struggles involved, researching supplementary vitamins, approaching conventional medicine with caution, eliminating consumables etc. The text is understandably maudlin at times although there is humour where possible.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2018
Interesting story regarding the struggle of heavy metal toxicity and removal but no practical advice. For that reason I’ve given 3 stars as the title is misleading.
I do though think the story highlights the problem of heavy metal toxicity. Do rhesus negative women realise they are given shots of mercury during or after pregnancy to prevent rh antibodies. Then all the vaccinations and amalgam and coal fires and and and.... Joe public are not given enough information with which to make a true lay informed choice on these things and so in our ignorance we acquiesce.
How many of us are toxic we’ll actually it’s perhaps more appropriate to ask how many of us are not toxic- very few would be my guess.
If you have an illness think about and test for heavy metal toxicity. Best of luck.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for sufferers of mercury poisoning.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2013
I found Aine's experiences with mercury poisoning similar to my own, and it was helpful to read another woman's thoughts and feelings. It was good to see how her road to recovery progressed, and I could relate to her frustration and loneliness, as it is an illness that leaves the sufferer very isolated from friends, family and certainly the health services. I would certainly recommend this to sufferers of heavy metal poisoning, and also to their friends & family so they can have an understanding of what the person is going through.
