No, I knew for certain that mercury was my problem when I had my fillings removed and about 8 days later had a major reaction with symptoms that lasted for several weeks. I had known about my candida for a few years and had been able to keep my symptoms under control as long as I stayed very strict on my diet and supplements. When I had this reaction, despite being extra strict on my diet, I knew this was it. The reaction was beyond my control and any skepticism that I had was gone.

I have chelated with oral DMPS and I would say that I am cured of my most debilitating symptoms. My flare ups have been minor and seem to occur after being in a dentist office. I may have to do a little round of chelation after going to the dentist for the foreseeable future.

I initially had a doctor involved, but his office closed not long after I began chelation. I continued on my own. I do not monitor my liver and kidny function, but I take it very slow with many breaks.
