I am feeling much better than I was a year ago. I had chronic fatigue syndrome for around 20 years. My energy level is much higher now than before I started having the amalgams removed. I was around 50 pounds overweight for a very long time. I tried so hard to lose weight. After the first 7 amalgams were removed, I lost 30 pounds quite rapidly without even really trying to lose weight. I love to walk. Before the amalgam removal I had many days when I could barely walk a few blocks. Some days I had trouble just walking to the bathroom. Now on most days I am able to walk a few miles a day. I have also had extreme chemical sensitivity. One whif of perfume, cigarette smoke, or diesel fumes might suddenly make me go from feeling pretty good to having muscle ache and inability to concentrate. After a while I might even had trouble breathing. I learned that I need to quickly move away from the souce of the irritant before the reaction got pretty bad. It is horrible to be feeling pretty good and attending an event with few people(I try to sit as far as possible from others) then suddenly someone with strong cologne or perfume sits near me and the symptoms start. I usually quickly try to find another seat, but sometimes at the next seat there is also someone near with strong perfume or cologne. At that point if there isn't a section of empty seats that I can relocate to, I might just leave. It is so annoying to have to leave an event when I don't want to. I usually avoid movie theaters for this reason, except for a rather empty afternoon showing. Those who wear perfume or cologne have no idea how much some others around them suffer from these toxic chemicals. I think my chemical sensitivity is decreasing. When I had my first amalgams replaced, I felt so nausious for a few days. It may have been from the mercury exposure, the novacaine, or perhaps some other chemicals the dentist used. I just had work done on one quadrant at a time then. Recently I once had dental work on two quadrants in a single session, and had almost no nausia after that.

My last amalgams are scheduled to be replaced by the end of this month. Three months after that I plan to do chelation with ALA and NAC. Hopefully this summer I will really be feeling great. Most of my amalgams were quite large and were replaced by lab made inlays or onlays. I am still amazed that I had 25 amalgams in my mouth, most of which were quite large.
