Ross I echo your feelings as well. It does indeed seem many are damned if they do and damned if they dont. This is the problem with mercury. If it just caused allergic reactions, rather than toxicity and accumulation, the removal of the amalgam would result in possibly almost immediate improvements.

But because there is so much more to this, with far greater exposure to mercury during the removal, the stored mercury which now needs to come out etc. Once people have their last amalgams out, often their body attempst to then begin to excrete the storage.

This can result in "repoisoning" because you're now having to deal with years of build up. This does not happen to everybody it would seem. But often it does and people need to know this because nobody told me what it was and I was left wondering what was going on.. I had the "sense' that this was happening becuase of the eruptions (crying and salivating etc), but still did not know and spent I think 2-3 years or so having to go through that to clear the stored mercury. I did not chelate early on, if I had, I would have sped up that time period FAR more. I did later and of coures, hard as it was, it forced more mercury out and enabled some healing to take place.

It would be great if it was clear cut. My problems now are different from the mercury poisoning and for me they are worse. So I went from one disaster to another (right after I had just improved from years of mercury toxicity) .....so that was really something and I haven't come right since.

At any rate, as far as the mercury goes? Yes you can recover from this but it is not easy or fast.
