Bex, no need to say sorry - I really apreciate your advice.

I'm having the last of my amalgams out today. I'm thinking of monitoring my situation and mainly using regular sauna to clear the extracellular mercury.

Then I may try DMPS (if I can get a prescrip) or DMSA using Cutler's protocol. Do you know if there are any risks to using either if you're NOT mercury toxic?

Also, (and I know you're not a doctor, but, what the hell!), I've been sauna'ing for the past few days. I'm ok with that with amalgams still in, but my muscles feel sort of tired and weak. Do you think that's from the sauna? Or perhaps from the anti-candida diet I've been trying (almost no carbs, though I gave in and ate some brown rice because of the weakness).

Thanks, Bex!
