HI Laurie, thanks so much for such a compliment. And vice versa, how much help I receive on here from others keeps me going too! And you know when you feel you can pass on any info to someone else that might help them, it makes life much more worth living sometimes.

YEs, I get tired of the hoops of some of these biologic dentists. I had to stop going to my pervious one because he refused to do any dental work on me and he me jumping through all kinds of supplement hoops and detox hoops and wasting my money, my time and he refused to help me from a distance and insisted on seeing me face to face everytime, which meant 9 HOURS OF DRIVING.

Finally, after not getting better and getting worse from the mercury vapor already in the dental office (I am highly allergic to any exposure of mercury), I had to stop seeing him.

I asked him for copies of xrays etc and he didn't want to give them to me and obviously he knew I was going to go to someone else. I asked about four times and finally he sent it and was not happy.

So this time around, I have done my searching online, I have emailed a dentist, told im my situation and told him straight that I am not going to go through any hoops and have money wasted, either he gets me in and does the work, or i'll move on. I said to him that I want all possible consultation work, done from a distance and that I would provide him with as much info as I can before seeing him. If I see him face to face, he will be doing work on me, I won't be going in, having my time and money wasted, only to be told "well I think we should do this first or do that first bfore we do the work".

They can easily give advice across email or phone, when it comes down to preparing your body as much as possible before dental work (like going on a healthy candida diet, and using specific supplements to support you). And then asking how you feel across email etc.

The previous dentist had me drive 9 hours to see him just to hand out some supplements and also had me fork out for expensive tests and the reason I paid for one specific overseas test was so I coudl avoid a nine hour drive to see him for him doing the same thing. He agreed and I paid for this overseas test (which is just sending a urine sample).

once the test was done? he said "I need to see you" so he basically lied, had me do this expensive test when he knew he'd needed to see me anyway. So I could have gone to see him and saved money from doing that overseas test, if I had known I'd be seeing him anyway.

Again, I'm going on, but you can see how angry I am with this. I can understand it to some degree, because they want you in the best possible shape beforehand, but some of them go too far and start setting themselves up as health gurus who lord it over you.

by the way, the best thing that has helped me? Is diet. Diet on it's own is the basis of helping your body heal and reducing yeasts and toxins. The rest is just to help aid that process.

One lady actually claims on her website that her candida diet, the fats and proteins alone can chelate mercury and I think she is taking that too far, but oddly enough, I have heard people on there claim they have recovered, so there might be "something" to it to a point. I doubt it would cure a person with extensive serious mercury poisoning though.

But it "can' really help and also, to let you know? My jaw gets far worse if I start eating sugar etc and I've had it where it will lock up over night after consuming sugar or other foods I shouldn't eat, so I wonder if there is a connection with other toxins overloading the system and affecting the jawbone too. I have no explanation as to why that happens to me, but it does.

After I've eaten sweets, chocolate or whatever, I go to bed and by the next morning, my mouth will hardly open and I will have to go through the rest of that day trying to get my jawbone to click back into place and if I stick with the good diet, that pretty much goes away, though there is always a weakness there from that previous dentist doing what she did.

Anyway, once again I've bleated on. I really hope you get luck finding a good biologic dentist who has a good balance of genuine concern, but is not going to have you jumping through continual hoops at the sametime. There is much they can do to prepare things across phone and email.

Best wishes Laurie! How you take care of 3 kids, I don't know. And you think I'm an inspiration?
