I think you also have to look at an individual's particular situation. I went from normal, active healthy at age 47, the few normal little aches and pains here and there but never daily, to having difficulty walking, numb arms and hands, blistering headaches, complete foghead, slurring of speech, extreme muscle weakness, almost overnight... I had major worrisome problems overnight which escalated rapidly within a matter of a few weeks actually.

I really had to do something. There is absolutely no way I was heading back into a dentists office in that state. so I found a doctor and they chelated me. Within 3-4 months I was almost my old self again.

When you get poisoned by dentists virtually overnight like that, your mercury and other heavy metal blood levels are extremely high. From my experience the only option is to bind the heavy metals in the blood and clear them out, rather than let them continue to freely zoom through your system. That is the worst thing about a large dose of heavy metal in a short time period, the oxidation, all of that.

which is pretty much the situation Dudley is in as far as I can tell. He will probably have much more difficluty returning to normal if he waits 3-5 months to chelate because a lot of the free mercury will have settled in by then.

But finding a doctor to do IV chelation is not easy either, I was simply blessed to find one nearby. I am sure I made the right choice.

My head feels much better now than it did prior to the mercury incident btw. I have not had any foggy head episodes (except for a week or so while doing humaworm) since last summer. That is extremely unusual for me. I thought foghead was normal!

Look at it this way Jeanie, I chelate, with amalgams in still (unfortuantely because if it were really my choice they would have been gone last year, economics, location, chemical sensitivities etc all play a part), and I can walk without pain. Even run, not too fast though but I was never much a runner, more of a swimmer.

You removed your amalgams, chelated a lttle bit, and complain of fibromyalgia.

it's just not a perfect world I guess.
