Hey guys, new to the forum, glad to be here! I'm in the process of getting my amalgams removed and am very eager to get this mercury crap out of my system.

I have had two mercury fillings replaced - fairly safely, I think. I have one more *visible* mercury filling to go. I am pretty sure I have some mercury fillings underneath crowns (I'm going to have my holistic dentist check each tooth for electrical charges - where the tooth is electrically charged, he says, mercury is present). And I have two upper wisdom teeth, each with mercury in them.

A few questions - any help would be greatly appreciated!

1) I want to start detoxing next week - right after the removal of another mercury filling. At that point I will still have at least two other teeth with mercury, probably more (guessing 4 or 5 total). Do I really need to wait until all the mercury is out before starting a detox program? What are the risks?

2) If in fact the answer is yes I DO need to wait, then what can I do in the meantime to control the mercury in my system? During that period I would definitely use your recommendations to alleviate mercury poisoning symptoms, Russ -thanks so much for sharing those!

3) My dentist uses constant suction, constant cold water (to "chunk" the mercury out, reducing vapor), and a dental dam - not perfect, but not unforgivably careless either. Is algin before & after the procedure, and activated charcoal under the tongue during it, my best defense? Should I consider chlorella before & after? Is it just ALA I should avoid until all mercury is removed?

Thanks folks!
