Hi everyone, this is a really serious and difficult point. For years I was told that one should never chelate if they still have amalgams, as this will increase the mercury coming off the amalgams. And I have always believed that until just recently.

I have also heard that the other side to this is, you should be chelating right away so you can begin to reduce the mercury NOW, rather than wait. And that chelation does not and cannot pull more mercury from amalgams, as it is not even in the oral environment, but rather already swallowed into the system and working on the mercury already in the blood.

I am totally confused on this. I see health professionals both arguing and contradicting on the same issue. Normally I feel it is best not to risk it, but rather use diet and basic support supplements and then get the amalgams out. However, this is not so simple.

There are some people already who have had some amalgams out and have become almost totally debilitated by it, so bad in fact, they cannot even contemplate getting the rest removed they are so poisoned. Now here they are, with some amalgams STILL in, trying diet, supplements, the whole deal, cleansing this, cleansing that and on it goes and just about going out of their mind because of the toxicity from the previous removal. Literally nothing is working or helping.

To suggest getting the rest of the amalgams out for people already pushed over the edge from the last removal, sounds pretty unthinkable. So what can they do???? They've tried the "safe" way and it's not helping.

Then to suggest perhaps chelation "might" be the other option, of course people will say NEVER do that. But then if not that, what else is there??? Sosick on here is a classic example of someone with amalgams who was too sick to even contemplate amalgam removal. She started chelating and can now "contemplate" going through with it at some point. Symptoms are more tolerable. So what are we to make of that?

If chelation should never be done with amalgams, how is it that her symptoms have been alleviated? Surely that should not even be possible? If she stops chelation then the symptoms come rushing back with a vengence.

I know that amalgams shoudl be removed, that is the first option, but what hte heck do you do with people who got so poisoned by one part of their removal, they can barely function? There is actually nothing someone that poisoned can do unless they chelate.

For example, I went into see my dentist who has about the cleanest dental office you can go into. He's biologic, but very fussy about keeping his office as clear from mercury vapor as he can. His office is also new, so he was able to start from scatch and get an extraction system running to clear our the vapor from the mercury removals he was doing on patients.

I came into see him, (I have no amalgams), for other dental work, but was only there initially for consultation, nothing else. From being in the office itself, I got mercury poisoned. The symptoms began only an hour or so after I saw him, I even notied something wrong while I was in the office, but they hit me later on.

I was supposed to follow a healthy diet and supplement programme, which I did but I was so poisoned by the vapor exposure, I coudl not even benefit from the diet or supplements. I was almost out of my mind and in a stupor from the toxicity. Eachday went by and no matter what efforst I made, I was too toxic to even think straight. The dentist would not let me chelate at this point, because I was supposed to be preparing my system for that, which makes a lot of sense. However, becuase of the office vapor, I was now a total mess. Trying to follow his advice, I resisted chelating and instead I waited going through hell for weeks on end and no change. Finally I coudln't take anymore and I started chelating and only then did my symptoms began finally to start improving. Yes with the aid of the diet and supplements, but they were not able to lift that kind of poisoning from me at that point. Only chelation did.

So what I'm saying is this, if someone is poisoned enough, no amount of this or that, may help them if they are loaded up with mercury to where they cannot even think properly. And chelation was the only way I could lift those symptoms.

This is why I am starting to wonder if those who still have amalgams and are in that kind of poisoned position may not have much other choice, at least temporarily.....

Does anybody have experience with chelating with chelating with amalgams still in???? what happened and was it worth it?? or did it make you long termly far worse? or better?

I'd really appreciate hearing this. thanks.
