Hi Shawn,

The dumping of metals is something that apparently happens to many amalgam toxic people following amalgam removal.

It usually occurs after ALL amalgams have been removed. You can experience a kind of exacerbation of symptoms months down the road or even later (or sometimes earlier). It is typical apparently about 6 months later. For me it happened much later. I got hit about a year and a half after amalgam removal.

And when it hits, it is like being repoisoned all over again, but for me it was even worse. You actually feel like you're being filled up with mercury. In a funny way...you are. Because the storage of mercury that has been sitting there for years, for some odd reason, starts to leak out into your blood.

It seems that when the body has amalgams, it goes into a state almost of protection and storage. Trying really hard to eliminate what comes in, but what it can't, it stores away. This eventually builds up to such a point to where symptoms begin to show over time. Accummulative poisoning. This is why it is often missed, because it's insidious.

Once symptoms show, usually the person by this point is very very poisoned. It's taken years to probably develop. Though some get sick very quickly after amalgam replacement, but that is often direct reactions to it as well, plus of course even small amounts of mercury maybe reacted to.

So for me, when I had it all out and experienced the dumping stage (second phase of suffering), I was distressed beyond belief. Nobody told me about this, so I didn't know what the hell was going on. I remember the day it hit too. Very weird, but I was in the car with my Dad. Driving somewhere and I was sitting there as normal and suddenly I felt really bad. I just felt like something was happening inside and i lay down on the seat and curled up.

Then I started weeping and I found I could not STOP. I was crying and drooling. And from that day onwards, it was just a NIGHTMARE. I mean everyday, I was crying and salivating uncontrollably, as my body was now trying to excrete all the years of stored mercury. I would lean over a bowl or the toilet and let it all come out.

This might go on for an hour or more sometimes. Then It would often be followed by a short period of relief, I sense that I had eliminated some more poison and I'd feel better. However, then another wave would come and this repeated itself over and over. I knew when it was coming because I'd get the sense of relief, then that feeling it was building up again would occur. My face would start to pale, look pinched in the cheeks and my mood would become quite bad. I'd feel it descend. So then it would build and build and erupt into crying and salivating again. So I'd rush off for more rounds of bowl or toilet. Fun fun fun.

I had a feeling that it was mercury coming out, but because I didn't know, I panicked and decided that maybe it was the composites that were doing it. I didn't know what exactly was going on. Yet I smelled of metal, tasted metal and sure enough, when I was given anything that detoxed or chelated metals, the symptoms increased even further.

I found detoxing and chelation intolerable, but I did it to speed things up. I wanted that metal out of me at all cost. But eventually I found a better way to get it out and chose Cutler's protocol. And that still wasn't easy, but it was more tolerable and all in all, from the time I started dumping mercury, it took me about 2 years or so to get healthier again.

I felt like a new person at the end of it. wow! All the hell and nightmares were horrible to recall, but the outcome was wonderful. It is very sad that people have to suffer from both amalgam poisoning and then the detox as well.

Just a note though, please realise that I was an extreme case. My symptoms were also very extreme and a doctor here told me that in all his years of treating mercury toxic people, my symptoms were one of the worst he's seen and he said that I had retention toxicity, which is why my body agonised so much as it was coming out. I had many rages through detox that were quite risky to myself and other people.

This doctor put me on selenium and vitamin C powder and it helped, but it also encouraged further detox at that time, so I had to take it easy, plus take breaks from it. Again, Andy Cutler's was the main chelation that I used in the end. All in all, I did get the metals mostly out of me.
