Can anyone recommend what a good test would be to find heavy metals toxicity in the post stage of amalgam removal. It's now been almost 5 months since my removal and I am planning to go to a 'regular' doctor to do the blood work and make sure that all the organs such as kidneys and liver are still functioning o,k. Any conventional tests that I can ask them to do to test for heavy metals, specifically mercury?

I just wanted to add that ALL of my blood works results are normal and I was wondering why there are no changes in blood if we are fighting such a strong toxic material as mercury. All of my organs are also normal as I had a detailed check up. I assume that if we are able to detox mercury there is a possibility that our body can recover (almost) completely from this metal? I assume that I have had mercury poisoning for about 5 years now, only getting strong symptoms after improper removal of them 5 months ago. Hearing Russ say that he is doing so much better makes me hopeful that the human body is able to combat and dispose of this metal without being permanently damaged or at least no more or less damage would be done than to someone who has been smoking for years and has quit and is regaining their health. There are many toxins in cigarettes and yet there are people who have been able to recover from life long use of nicotine. I just wanted to use this paralel to say that I think that the odds of recovery are good even for mercury toxic people.

If you have mercury related illness, it is not enough to just take the metals out of the mouth. You have to get the mercury out of your body. You will not get well unless you do this. Now the question is..Who's mercury detox protocol are you going to choose to do. There are many of them out there and many of them are dangerous. I suggest you purchase Andrew Hall Cutler's book, "Amalgam Illness Diagnosis and Treatment". You can buy it here or go to noamalgam.com.
