hi andrea: amalgam removal was the last resort for me , my hormones were all whacked out and the doctors that I had seen in the past could not figure out what was causing it to happen , I just went ahead and had the 9 amalgams replaced over a 2-3 month peroid and the first 3 removed caused increased symtpms for about 3 weeks , but the last six were not as bad for symtoms ,I did not have to compadability test done, my dentist told me that most of them came back the same , he did not hold to much validity in the test , I tried using msm for my joints and it kind of set me back a little bit msm is a organic sulfur compound and can tell you that it does mobilize mercury I stopped using it becuase it was causeing increased symtoms, I was doing much better before before using it , I know that you are scared to have your amalgams replaced , you just don't want to make things worse for yourself , many of us have been through it , it is not an easy path ,but it is the only way to get well the suppliments that I take know are :
mercury free fish oil 2000 mg
olive leaf extract 150 mg
cranberry extract 500 mg
glucosamine/condroitin 1500 mg
saw palmetto 150 mg
25 mg zinc
1000 mg tribulus every other day
mens multi vitimin
