I am going to start having my fillings replaced next year, but not all in one go. I'm having then done in quadrant order, as that is supposed to help the body go into natural detox. So I'm going to be having 4 visits, hopefully, which will be at the most 3 teeth a session, and I'm going to leave a couple of months in between each one. I got very sick when I was given the fillings at regular doses, so I want to have them replaced gently, using all precaution.

David Harvie Austin and David Cowan, both in London, are the only 2 dentists I'm aware of in the UK who use all precautions and diamondlite filling.

I'm not going to do the DMSA and am going to go the slow detox route instead as I really was so ill after having fillings as a child that I want to go very slowly so as not to mobilise mercury too quickly.

For me I see no option but replacement if I am to have a hope of getting better. I have so many health problems, it's almost ludicrous, and I think the mercury has given me mental illness (OCD) that I never had before the fillings.

At the moment I am taking vitamin c, vitamin e, magnesium, zinc, occasional selenium until I can find a better one, and 2-3 alginate pills a day. I've started taking Flax Seed Oil today (vegetarian Omega 3 from Seven Seas) as I get pins and needles problems, and am going to add in some B12 when I find a quality one.

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.
