My biggest problem was candida flare ups while having the amalgams removed. I was so sick for a while that I had to stop in the middle of the remobal process for almost 6 months. It took just over a year for me to have 25 amalgams replaced. My one big regret was not taking olive leaf extract and not eating raw garlic through the replacement cycle. Raw garlic is amazing stuff. Not only is it very inexpensive(it cost me just $3 for one pound, which was 6 heads, or something like 60-80 cloves) I eat a clove or two of raw garlic a day. I cut it into small pieces, eat one small piece at a time, chew it well, and swallow it with plenty of water. I do this after a large meal. Never eat raw garlic on an empty stomach, or without taking plenty of water with it. Also don't eat too much of it(not more than 4 cloves a day, and not more than 2 after a single meal). Raw garlic is very powerful stuff. Eating too much of it, or eating it on an empty stomach or without plenty of water can cause great irritation of the digestive tract. It is a great antifungal, a great antibacterial and antiparasitic, a great source of sulfur, and a great aid in the detoxification process. Other important supplements are vitamin C(I take 2 grams a day of ester C, a grarm in the morning and a gram at night), molybdenum(I take 1 mg a day) , B vitamins(I take a B50 a day), and minerals.
