Hi Sean
I will not do anymore dental work, I had a root canal before but when I got my mercury tooth removed with x rays from a very good holistic dentist he said you will do better year after year and did muscle testing on me and even told me to remove an earring because that messed me up he said! He said where is the hole on your body and when he found he nearly jumped up in excitement because he said that earring did you lots of damage! He was just that good! He said you drink too right? I said yes, he said he could tell from muscle testing! This guy was unreal. He said you have no other mercuryin you and I thought just getting the tooth out was enough, of course he wanted other visits but that money is for athletes and such and what I did not have to continue to go back, I am not rich and insurance won't cover that crap or anything meaningful in our lives.
Root canals are one of the biggest and worst sources of ongoing toxicity into the body system. Even ones that are done well are not guaranteed to be safe for even a healthy person, let alone a compromised one. I know a biologic dentist here who would not do any root canals at all. It is only in recent times where I've seen that he's obviously found a way of doing them that is more "holistic". The old style is pretty dreadful. Dr Weston Price's own son I think died due to getting one. He's absolutely against them! As you can imagine. Check these links out:
Root canal filling materials can be toxic Root canals - more than meets the eye The toxins from root canals can be as bad, if not worse than mercury. Similar to the toxins from cavitations. In fact, Hal Huggins says that patients toxic from these conditions are worse than mercury patients. If a person has either/both of these, that would be wise to have them dealt with. Sosick on here had root canals and she was very very ill. She got much better when she had them removed.
I am unsure from your post whether you still have a root canal or whether you had it removed.....if you have one, consider the dangers and possibility of ongoing toxicity from that.
I did not know the dagaon Iodine from GOOD KELP would chelate all of this, but it has and I felt weird ever since, not over the edge to where I can't think or work but it has done alot for me since I started just a few weeks ago. One night of blyss was enough for me to keep it up, last friday I had that as I said. Kelp is a strong detoxifier if you can eat it right. I cut it out for a day or two now as the effects became too strong, not too much but I felt the kidneys hurting and the mind confusion so I did not take ANY TODAY at all and will take a little tomorrow then slowly build up to where I can't feel it too much. Zeloite did well for me last year, but I quit that because it is not studied enough IMO and nobody knows how it works or how safe it is, but it was not scary at ALL. Cilantro was not scary at all either, although some kidney pain from the detox it did not scare me at all, nor did Chlorella (I Switched to Spirulina though last year). I a going to keep it up but seriously tonight I feel ill and really weird, but not near over the edge! I feel like I can pick it up slowly again tomorrow and move up slowly after that, the DULSE did not do this nor detox near as much, I have done both on and off the last few weeks, the Kelp in high doses does the detox and the Dulse just makes me feel better, which is really better for you or detoxes the most? I feel the Kelp is alot stronger in some doses, but the Dulse is alot easier and less drastic IMO, but does it do near as much chelating or have the Algin in it? I have no clue there.
I am not sure enough about dulse or kelp. But they do seem to be helping you and kelp is obviously the stronger of the two. Perhaps it just contains more minerals as you said....I think it does have algin in it. But I'm not certain about any of this, so Russ might be the one to ask there. Perhaps just continue as you are with both. Or google both and see what they contain and which one appears to come out on top.
I experimented also with my mercury detoxes with different things, but I got awful reactions which scared me. It seems you don't get quite those reactions, which is a good thing. Mine were psycho! I still did many things anyway because I just wanted the metals out of me at all cost. But sometimes that cost was too risky and hurt me a lot. If you can handle these detoxes, then perhaps your body isn't too bad in eliminating what's been mobilised around and you may not be as hypsensitive to the mercury as some are. I would go into a fit of near insanity when trying to detox that stuff. Thankfully Cutler's protocol didn't do that to me and I was able to chelate and retain some sanity in the process and not go through sheer hell. I still got unwell from detoxing though, which in a way was good because it showed things were working.
BTW I am a flat out NIGHT HAWK even moreso lately, that is a FACT! I stay up even later now, thank GOD I have very tolerant job and work at 3 or 4 in the afternoon! Lately since detoxing I stay up alot later like you did and sleep later and feel lazy as hell! Something going on there?
Sleeping habits can be distorted big time with mercury. It can make you a night owl and make you feel drugged in the morning, barely able to get up. Or hyped and waking too early. It can cause insomnia or oversleeping (or both alternating). It can cause alot of strange over-vivid dreaming/nightmares. Lots of things it can do and has done to me. I tend to find that my diet helps me sleep, but often when I exercise or do strenous activity, it stirs metals up and then I'm not so able to sleep, YET I am fatigued during the day but hyped up at the sametime. It's unpleasant to say the least.
I also suspect more toxins are at work with me in my mouth somewhere, as a doctor kept detecting, but nothing really shows up there! But I do believe there is an ongoing source of bad bacteria/toxins from the oral area.
PS, one stage when I was detoxing alot of metal, I had insomnia for over a year and a half during that time.
