I was poisoned by two dentists, one did a root canal with an amalgam filling and then placed a PFM crown over that, and another who filed down a broken amalgam filled molar for another crown, all of this starting in Mid-november 2006, and pretty much ending with the sloppily filed tooth by the second dentist in early/mid-january 2007. I waited 4-5 weeks before seeking a doctor because I was getting worse, not better as I thought I should be after even sloppy dental work (I was mostly unaware of mercury problems). I was tested for heavy metals on about Feb 20th 2007, given my first DMPS IV injection that day also. So a good several weeks after the bad dentistry, and my mercury blood levels were off the chart. Off the charts means too high to measure, in other words, deadly.

I had not done any formal chelation prior to seeing the doctor. Suspecting mercury, I had bought some chlorella but it didn't help much.

Just for what it's worth.
