I am stuck now. I had a number of amalgams replaced, but still have many more. I feel like I need to lower the mecury levels in my body before I get more amalgams replaced.

It's a big fat NO I'm afraid. Using DMSA or DMPS with amalgams in is likely to make you worse. What you can do is make sure you are supporting your adrenals and thyroid during the amalgam removal process - normally the adrenals take a real hit because of the physiological stress. And you can watch your diet to control the candida during the removal process. No sugar of any form, no complex carbs, no alcohol, gluten or dairy. Basically meat, vegetables, eggs and good fats like olive oil, coconut oil, butter.

Some people take chlorella during the removal process. I found it made my candida worse, so I didn't even do this. For me, adrenal support was key to getting through the removal of 12 amalgams over a 6 month period. I started without adrenal support, and had to have a break in the middle, because my adrenals were so badly affected. Then I got onto adrenal support, and was able to continue.

Hope this helps
