congratulations to wormwood on the pregnancy. keep us up to date on how its going. i have had four babies myself so if you need any advice just shout.
this post is very informative, i think that just as each body deals with mercury in its own way so the detoxing will be individual, i am still unsure which way to go, i always prefer the most natural and least invasive. plus juggling too many pills is beyond me.
i have found that keeping it as simple as possible allows the body to heal without confusing it by overdoing the supplements. i have seen an 80% improvement in all my CNS symptoms just from amalgam removal and the bare minimum of supplements. i am using essential oils to help with body symptoms and boost immune system. Also 'sweating' with hot baths with baking soda. I felt a definite imporvement from physical symptoms after root canal extraction and following the candida diet (the first week was real bad but now i am good and food tastes so much better than before).
i am nervous to go hardcore into chelation, just eating sulphur foods makes my head throb so i plan on following the clues my body gives on what is right for me. we have all learnt our own coping mechanisms when feeling ill, we should keep following ourselves during the healing process. for some the damage will be irreversible and we have to accept that no matter what we do some parts of this trial will remain with us.

good luck to all and to wormwood and her little one.
