Hi, you're welcome! It's a great pity that so many people are being poisoned and not from their own making. How to undo it is almost as painful as going through it. Detoxing mercury isn't easy, I went through it. Often, after you've had all amalgams out, there can come a point where your body will start to try and dump the storage. It's almost like amalgam removal is the trigger to this. For some it can start after 3 months, some it can start much later. Because after amalgams are gone, the body detects there is no more ongoing daily intake and can then start to try and dump it's years of storage.

I actually went into an almost remission of symptoms after all amalgams were gone (got much worse first due to swallowing amalgam during removal). But then once I got through that, I thought I had improved and things were going "ok" until the mercury dumping stage hit me (about a year or more later) and I thought I was being repoisoned....in a sense I was, the stored mercury was leaking back out!

So often people aren't aware of this and can become quite devastated when it hits, not understanding what it is. Proper chelation can help this alot! And get you well much faster, than if you left nature to it. Also some people need chelation becuase their own bodies maybe poor at eliminating mercury. If you chelate early on (after amalgam removal), you may find you don't notice the dumping stage as much. Because the chelation will have already been pulling mercury out of you!

Chelation can of course worsen symptoms during the time of detoxing, but you can keep the symptoms much less if you follow a protocol that suits you and one that cuts down on the mobilisation of mercury (redistribution). It depends too how poisoned you are, how sensitive you are to mercury, and how well you eliminate what's been moved about and no doubt any other issues you may have at the sametime (virus,candida/pathogens etc).

Mercury is not usually in isolation. You may also be battling many other issues as a result of the toxicity from mercury. It's a difficult situation because one thing can cause you to become suseptible to other things and they all seem to set the other off and in the end you can be battling multiple problems, even if the underlying cause was mercury!
