My main ND, and the guy who diagnosed me, was Dr. Steve Nelson in Palm Desert, California. He started me on a variety of Biotics brand supplements about a month before we did the removal. Dr. Nelson was originally a PHD pharmacist who later got a PHD in clinical nutrition. That I believe is where his knowledge of herbs and vitamins comes from.
Each and everyone of my teeth had large amalgams covered by caps, crowns or bridges. 13 had been extracted over the years. The dentist he recommended also replaced several root canals with an inert substance.
Yes, I felt real rotten going into the procedure but I figured I had no other choice. It has worked for me; there have certainly been some herxheimer times since then. But I just look back and think of how overall ill I was back then.
I know it sounds trite but there is no point looking back; we have to think positive and get on with it. The human body has been designed to withstand a lot.

Mercury and its associated by-products( a weakened immune system that led to an accumulation of various bacteria, virus , parasites that a presumably healthy system would control) had ruined the possibility of me enjoying my life. I was very sceptical when I started my 2 week stint of having each and evey tooth rebuilt from the remaining core up. Today I am ecstatic that I took the gamble. I don't know whether any of us will be completely cured but my lifestyle is way better.
Good luck and if you can at all afford it I would highly recommend finding a biological dentist and getting the amalgams replaced.
