Cool you made me think more positive tonight Bex!!!!!!!!! My holistic dentist took pics and said he was checking for more and did not say a thing later on about it, just showed me the black on the pic and said you will get better every year with muscle testing which he found out an earring was bothering me from the way it was put in and where it was, go figure he found that out too? Holes in your body, he said do you have a hole anywhere? I said no? I did not have my earrings in there and when he found out what it was he said take them out they did damage! He was beyond thorough so I trust him there and with the teeth! My amalgam was a WHOLE TOOTH, even my other dentist said GOD THATS HUGE and would not tough it, it cracked too! That means it leaked? That messed me up badly, I had a few crack before in my life. This one was monumental though, a whole moler of Amalgam? Damn.
Yeah, even ONE amalgam filling can certainly cause problems in some people. I'm hyper sensitive to metals as well as the fact I do not excrete them properly.
With the still remaining bit of amalgam, I was still improving from years of chelation. And as I said, it did not prevent the dumping stage from happening. Post amalgam removal for me meant a far worse scenario, because I was no longer suppressed from the amalgams being present. Once they were gone, that's when all hell broke loose.
Yes I was severely poisoned beforehand with amalgams - but I was able to control symptoms to some extent via diet etc. Once the amalgams were gone, wow, nothing held the symptoms back. Though diet was helpful, the symptoms of mercury were unleashed to the full. So I really could not control them and had to chelate. I was so obviously poisoned by the unleashing of stored mercury, that my face was gaunt and very pale. I was a mess. A top doctor here in my country told me that this had caused my body to begin trying to heal, whereas with amalgam it was unable to do it, as it was dealing with the daily intake instead and trying to store the mercury as best as it could.
Now that amalgam was gone, it no longer needed to remain in storage mode and went into dump mode. This is the cause for many to experience an increase in symptoms, a sense of "repoisoning" and at times great distress if they do not understand what is happening (as I didn't).
I was helped with the DMSA chelation (every 4 hour routine). This began to chelate the stuff out properly, rather than move it about. It was quicker too and more effective. Plus vitamin C, E and selenium. I didn't take other vitamins at that time, but even they were of help along with a sugar/wheat/gluten/yeast free diet. Either way, it still takes time to get the poison out and enough of it out to where you start feeling like you should again.
I noticed I was healing when I started getting patches of feeling really good. I mean it would hit out of the blue. I was cleaning oneday and I was in my wardrobe cleaning out my closet and I thought omg, I feel normal...I feel good and I had to just sit there and soak it up. Of course, the remaining mercury descended on me like a cloud again, but the patches I was getting were indicators that things were shifting. Unfortunately, more stored mercury would surface and cloud things up again, but the process of elimination was well and truly happening. It's usually a roller coaster ride though.
