Hi Linda, please dont take the person's words too much to heart about the exposed removal. If it is any consolation I had half of my mouth done like that by a general dentist and was no worse off than I was when I had the rest done by a biologic dentist. Odd because I had all the protection on the last removals, yet was very very ill.

I do not believe that mercury vapor can really be protected against efficiently because it penetrates through anything (even walls) but of course it's wise to do what one can anyway to perhaps frustrate it as much as possible.

You are not the only one whose had a removal done exposed like that and yes it can indeed worsen a person but chelation can cure a person also.

I was healing from that, it took a long time yes but I was recovering well and truly. You don't tend to notice it at the time, bear that in mind. It takes time.

My infections are what ruined me, more than the exposure to mercury.

I know, the waking up at night can be awful, especially when you are in the state where you are sleeping heavy and need it. That's when you feel absolutely desperate. This is why only 3 days of chelating is probably the best way, rather than an entire week.

I hope the 12.5 mg continues go be remotely tolerable. main thing is hopefully getting some of the accessible mercury out of you in a more balanced and smoother manner. here's hoping.

Also it can start helping relatively quickly believe it or not! So long as you are supporting your body with good diet etc and not pushing yourself to go too far or too much. Overwhelming defeats the purpose and if anything can hinder progress by flooding the body with too many toxins at once. Going easier allows the body to catch up more.
