I had severe symtoms for about 2 weeks after removal but leveled out after that . I also was very concerned about the horror stories that I had read ,before having my amalgams removed ,knowing what I know now ,I am very glad that I had them removed and didn't let the bad stories scare me ,it's been almost 5 months since removal and still on a detox rollercoaster but nothing like before removal it was the last resort for me ,my doctors couldn't find any thing wrong with me ,all my test came back normal ,but I knew that something was wrong with my health all my symtoms just kept getting worse with every year that had gone by , don't let the bad stories get to you ,search your heart ,the answer is there
