Wow - this is enough to make me wonder whether it's worth getting the fillings out in the first place?! I am considering having the whole lot out in one go, under conscious sedation, by a dentist who is highly recommended in the UK. Assuming vapour release is kept to a minimum, and he (and others) assure me that it will be - I should only get better, no? Surely nothing can be worse than having chronic fatigue, candida, leaky gut, hypoglycaemia etc etc?

Bex - would you keep us posted on how you go with the DMSA, as this has also been suggested to me. Are you using the ALA as well? In his book Andy Cutler says that DMSA can have a bad effect on candida. Have you noticed this? I read from your other posts the problems you have had, and I am so sorry. On that basis I have stopped taking Grapefruit Seed Extract, and will just continue to take probiotics, which have increased my energy levels. Good luck.
