Hi,
your symptoms do sound like mercury illness.
This process (chelation) has to be done v. v. carefully.
1. First, do NOT chelate until after amalgams have been replaced. However, be CAREFUL about removing the amalgams and replacing them with white/composite fillings.
Amalgam removal is v. dangerous to the body, and could
considerably worsen your condition if not done right
(I am an example of that),
and the amalgam removal has to be done under strict
controls, so you don't ingest vapors. Here, the selection
of the dentist is the most important, take your time to
ensure that they know what they are doing, that their
office is mercury-free, and they are using something
like the Huygen's protocol to remove amalgams. Also,
since you are removing 10 of them, not sure if this
needs to be done over a period (of days, weeks), I have
no idea on this part.
2. Okay, once your amalgams are removed, you are on to chelation. Typically, this is started five days afer
final amalgam removal (and also after mercury is
removed in tattoos under crowns). The safest chelation protocol I know about is the Andy Cutler Protocol.
3. Your best bet is to gather of a lot of information. Do the following:
- Join the yahoo frequent-dose-chelation group, there is
a wealth of info there, and folks are v. helpful.
- Order Andy Cutler's 'Amalgam Illness' book. You may
also want to get his 'Hair Test Interpretation' book
at the same time.
- Do NOT get a urine challenge test to test for mercury.
Instead, get a safe Hair Elements Test from Doctor's
Data, see the files section on the yahoo group for how
to order the test (also how to get a 20% discount on
the test).
- Make sure you have found a dentist who knows a lot
about safe amalgam replacement, follows a strict
protocol (ask to read it) and checklist for the removal,
and knows about chelation, and the need for starting
it within a few days of final amalgam replacement.
Best of luck
