bm303, sorry to hear about your situation. The unprotected amalgam removal, plus products that may have mobilised the mercury already in you, no doubt has caused this severe state of toxicity you are experiencing. It is frightening what symptoms can occur.

The above advice for diet and cleanse is something you may find really helpful. The diet is one of the first things I ever did for myself and it made quite a dramatic change and improvement and reduce the severe symptoms alot. So i can't emphasize enough how important this is. I believe the diet is the foundation of everything else you may do and add to it.

The main culprits that harmed me in diet (and for many others) is sugar, wheat/gluten products, yeast. You may also have to reduce all high carb foods, at least temporarily until you become stronger and can loosen up more.

After the next amalgam removal that will be done safely, I would suggest to you to (if you can), get hold of a chelating agent called DMSA. This will help you reduce the high blood levels of mercury if taken properly. It may help reduce the terrible situation you are experiencing now, which may have been exacerbated from a lot of redistributed mercury. Please get familiar with the Andrew Hall Cutler protocol (Andy Cutler). Because this is the one that I was finally able to tolerate after I'd taken many other products and protocols and often made myself incredibly sick in the process. His began to level out my symptoms and start me on the track of more substantial improvements.

You take a small amount of DMSA, every 4 hours around the clock (this means using an alarm and waking up during the night). No, it's not very convenient, but this way of taking it is actually the most important part! You do this for about 3 days on (or longer if a person can tolerate a longer round) and then take a break of the same amount of time you were on it (or longer if needed) and repeat. You continue this for approx 3 months, until blood levels are reduced, then you can start using a chelating agent that will chelate the brain and organ mercury. But you must reduce blood levels first, because the brain chelator may take more mercury with it from your blood and into your brain. Though it will take some back out, you can see the high risk and would be rather self defeating. Better to get the blood levels down first, which will start to occur only after all amalgam is out. You can help this process with the DMSA.

I would recommend the book "Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment" by Andrew Hall Cutler, if you can get it. It is available on this very website. http://herballure.com/Products/AmalgamIllness_DiagnosisAndTreatment/index.html

But here is a link that will still give you an outline of his protocol and what you can take and how you take it:

Informative Posts by Andy Cutler

According to Andy, do not start chelating until 4 days or more after the final amalgam removal. And once you start, then you continue for about 3 months as mentioned. You can start with a very small dose, like 12.5 mg of DMSA and later if you feel stronger and can tolerate it better, you can increase it. But do not increase the dose during the round. You want to keep things as even and stable as possible during the time you're taking DMSA so you don't cause changes in the blood level of the chelator.

The point to taking DMSA every 4 hours is that this is the time period that DMSA will still be in the blood stream. After 4 hours, the levels drop. So that is why you keep taking the doses so that the levels of DMSA remain stable/constant and the movement of mercury will be more stable also, which will allow for less redistribution and hopefully easier symptoms and a more efficient/effective process of reducing blood toxicity.

I hope this is helpful to you!
