Linda, have you thought about hidden cavitations in the jawbone? They do not always show any signs of a problem on the outside, but can be a cause of chronic ongoing toxicity from the potent bacteria that can become systemic.

Andy Cutler mentions them in his book. They can be worse than mercury, as they can also hinder/block proper detoxification/healing. Like you can come to a standstill and not know why or what is wrong. Chelation may not even help, or produce little to no results with this condition.

I believe I have them, but I do not know if they are causing illness or not. However, it does seems suspect that I seemed to get worse following wisdom tooth removal in 2004. I also got a bacterial/viral infection in 2003 (severe) that I never recovered from and still to this day suffer viral symptoms, especially upon exercise. That, plus possible cavitatios could be all my issues, but I cannot be absolutely certain about everything.

You can have cavitations but remain basically unaffected by them for years, unless immunity is compromised and then they may have the chance to cause systemic ongoing sickness. It's awful and Hal Huggins felt they and root canals made much sicker patients than mercury! You can detox mercury, but these two problems? You can make marathon efforts, as Huggins said, but it may produce little results. He has obviously dealt with people who have been suffering this and have gone on all manner of fastings, cleansing, detoxes etc to no avail. Sometimes this can be a hidden cause of such a problem.

Just a thought.
