My Story / Situation

I have about 12 or so Amalgam fillings. I want to remove them all.

I'm American but live in Asia currently.

There are some 'mercury free' dentists but I am not 100% confident in their abilities. Some major hospitals in Thailand offer Amalgam removal following IOAMT guidelines. But they don't mention chelation at all.

In Malaysia there is a doctor that offers his own chelation potion and has a panel of dentists he recommends. I quizzed him on their technique and he admitted they aren't that sophisticated. And his potion is proprietary. It didn't feel right.

I have read quite a bit about Amalgam removal but as there is so much info with so many directions I would like others' opinions before taking the leap. I need help.

Removal:
I have a dentist that can follow the IAOMT procedures (Thailand).

Can I have more than one filling removed per week?

I have to travel to another country to get the work done so it will be expensive and time consuming.

Chelation (pre):
What are the current best practices?

Where is the best place to buy the supplies? I am in Asia and finding the supplies will be difficult. I would just buy some and import them.

Chelation (post):
What are the current best practices?

Chelation (long term):
When does a person know they are mercury free? I have been infected so long I won't know if I am back to 'normal'.

Rage:
Has anyone experienced rage when chelating?


My History;

As I child I had several fillings. I ate a lot of candy (we had a store) and sodas.

In junior high I made an about face and started lifting weights and became aware that you are what you eat. I still ate some junk food but slowly reduced intake until I rarely ate chocolate or drank a soda. I could bench 300 lbs / squat 400 lbs and do almost unlimited pull ups. I had a very good diet.

Gosh, I guess I have had mercury problems since right after university. I was in Asia studying and working in the late 80s / early 90s. They didn't sell bottled water at all so when I was thirsty I had to have a coke. My diet in general wasn't so great as I was living in dormitories.

I returned to the USA with some dental problems. I had to have several fillings and one of my teeth (with a filling) broke and I had to have a cap put on it. Looking back I now realize that after the dental work I was sick. Later, my stomach stuck out even though I was in good physical shape. I had some weird reactions and allergy like symptoms. I started losing my hair. I had pink eye that wouldn't go away until I found a Doctor of Vietnamese ethnicity who knew what to do. I had intended to take my experience in Asia and get a job at a company. But I lacked the energy to do so. I basically had CFS for almost a year. And I discovered I couldn't live without sodas (Caffeine). I started a 2 can a day Mountain Dew habit.

I moved to Texas and started working. My energy had improved but still wasn't 100%. After one hot Texas summer I felt much better and returned to Asia. I started a consulting firm and it grew quickly.

Normally I am a high energy miracle worker. I had many achievements before I was out of high school. So even though I was still viewed as above average I felt like I had an anchor attached to me. The weight of the anchor went up and down - but it was always there.

My diet was great at the time. I still had a two soda habit but other than that ate well.

In 2004 I had a filling fall out. I didn't go to the dentist - too busy.

By 2005 the cavity hit the root and I had to have a cap put on. Also had more fillings put in, teeth cleaned and the previous cap replaced.

I have almost every email I ever sent / received. Checking back I was sick right after the dental work. My gut went bad. Basically I got sever IBS. I also had sever CFS. At the time I blamed it on overwork, the stress of getting married, etc.

I moved to a warmer county in Asia in 2006. Felt much better after a few months. Started golfing and looking back I felt great after that. Golfing here is a HOT and SWEATY affair. I would drink at least a gallon of water and not pee once.

Then my playing partner left, wife pregnant, etc so stopped playing golf. I felt crappy again - but as I had a newborn and some business problems I blamed it not them.

Health Check Ups:
All of my physicals up to 2005 were perfect. I have always had slightly low cholesterol. From 2005 I had slightly elevated cholesterol. So I changed my diet over time. My 2009 physical showed the same elevated cholesterol. But I had completely changed my diet. When I met with the nutritionalist the diet she recommended wasn't a good as my actual diet.

So I assumed it was not enough exercise.

Along with this I had various problems. My neck would get stiff. Hands lost sensation. Mood up and down. Libido up and down. Memory problems. Vision poor. Poor concentration levels. Pain in joints. I had a prostate problem and the urologist recommended a Testosterone test. I had low T.

So I joined the gym Dec 31st.

I started at the gym mainly lifting heavy weights - following advise to boost my T. At the same time a golf membership for a course near my home came up for lease Jan 10th - so I took it.

So I was back and forth from the gym to the golf course everyday. I walked the course - and it is hard as it is a hilly jungle course. I was back to sweating A LOT.

I had a hard time at the gym as my recovery was poor. I would work out but be sore for 3 - 4 days.

But soon I was SUPERMAN! My workouts took off and I was soon lifting heavier and heavier weights - people started to watch me bench. I had an erection most of the day. My mind was sharp and I was highly motivated again. Memory problems were fading.

I also had a lot of rage. I had physical altercation with some 'douche bag' driver that tried to take a swing at me. He was down in 3 seconds and I picked him up (his whole body) and put him in a choke hold. Wow, I was 18 again.

My marriage was strained a bit but the wife got used to the 'new me.'

I then took the family to the USA for a business project for two months. I was fine when I got there. I ate well as there was a great organic store nearby and we had a great house with a great kitchen. I played a lot of golf as the weather was nice. I didn't workout so much as the only gym was one in the association and had crappy machines. Over time my 'ailments' came back. My libido showed down (just as we were trying for our second). General malaise took hold.

We returned to Asia and I started right back at the gym. Then I started working out with a guy who was very fit. I had a small 'boost' but not like before. I worked out more often and harder - still no super boost.

And I stopped walking while golfing. I started playing with some professional golfers and used a cart and didn't sweat so much. I played less frequently.

I tried everything to recreate the Super Boost I had early in the year - but no luck. Back then I had take some various supplements, etc. Tried them again but no impact.

Then I read about the effects of mercury poisoning and Amalgam fillings (about a month ago). Wow, that is me!

And recently I read that sweating heavily and draw out mercury. Well, that is probably what has been happening for the last 10 years. When I am in a hot country and sweating for a few weeks my mercury levels drop and the symptoms fade away. Once the sweating stops the mercury starts building back up.

So I golfed a few times last week and started to wake up in the morning with an erection. Hmmm….

Anyway, as stated above, I am going to have my poison removed. I hope my old self comes back minus the rage! The rage might be my drive being locked up for so long. I have always been a very bold and driven person - with no fear of failure. But I have never experienced rage in my life until now.

Oh, by the way I was able to solve my IBS by taking anti-yeast herbals. I followed it with an herbal colon cleanse.
