Hi Weety,

I'm not sure how long it takes aneasethic to clear from the system. However, it is the removal of amalgams that puts stress on the entire system by increased exposure to mercury vapor. Even the best protection will not completely prevent exposure to mercury. It will help and reduce it, but not eliminate it.

Going out for a run a couple of days afterwards may not be wise. It is of course up to you. You can only go on how you feel I guess. This is a big change for your body too - going from having amalgams to having NONE. It is a real shock. The blood apparently clears of mercury in the first few months post amalgam removal (If I recall correctly) because it's no longer getting the daily intake of mercury - but then later the stored mercury begins to leak back out into the system. Which can happen anytime from 6 months onwards post amalgam removal.

It does indeed cause much change in the body and sometimes the change is not easy to go through because the body has been storing mercury for so long, has been poisoned for so long, that the healing process from this condition can be difficult/challenging to say the least. But it is also rewarding once you get enough of this toxin out of your system.

I suggest Andrew Cutler's protocol for mercury detox.
