Well, you're taking some good stuff, but cilantro in some people can be risky, worsening some, helping others, so it's just not a sure thing in my opinion. I would forget the cilantro for now. You will have too high body burden of mercury to start using something that can too easily go into the brain and nervous system like cilantro can (taking mercury with it). You might get away with it later once your body burden has been reduced.

All you can do now is eat as healthy as you can, take many antioxidants, minerals (eg zinc and magnesium) and vitamin B and if possible milk thistle. You take them 3-4 times daily due to the fact this is the way they work properly and mercury toxic people use them up quickly.

Do not take vitamin C near a dental appointment, it erases the effects of anesthetic and you will feel pain. So two days before, stop taking vitamin C. Restart it right after the job has been done.

Once the amalgams are out? I cannot recommend to you highly enough a mercury forum that many people are joining. They are using a safe mercury detox protocol and some/many of these people have been injured by other mercury detoxes. So this one is proving the safest around. you keep taking the supplements, but begin to bring onboard a chelating agent called DMSA (or DMPS if you can get it). DMSA is easily available, online too.

Most people can start using it about 4 days or longer after the last amalgam removal. You have to wait 4 days or more, just in case some mercury was swallowed and you have to allow the body to eliminate the first bits of it before using chelation.

The group is called http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/frequent-dose-chelation/

On this group, you will find just about all information you will need to rid your body of mercury safely and appropriately, without moviing MORE of it into the brain and nervous system. The method used is quite simple. Simply using DMSA at a low dose (preferably 25 mg or lower at first). You take a pill every 4 hours (even through the night). You do this for about 3 days or up to a week (most just do three days). Then you take a break of the same amount of time (or more if you want) and do it again and continue to do this for months.

This can begin to reduce the blood and tissue levels of mercury and I believe sometimes some organs, but mostly it just clears the outer areas of the body.

Later on, when your body levels are reduced, people can add an antioxidant called alpha lipoic acid. This is the one that clears the brain and organs of mercury, but must be used much later on because it can move mercury INTO those areas if you have too high body level of mercury (as can cilantro).

AT any rate, you can go on that website if you like and read the files and links section and judge how you feel about it.

You may not wish to pursue this, but thought I would put the option out there for you.

Note: In many people, after amalgams have been removed, they can feel better and think they are ok. Sometimes, about half a year or more down the track, the symptosm of mercury can return and become EXTREME. This is because the body begins to dump the storage that's been sitting there and you can feel repoisoned. This is known as the "second stage of suffering". So, it's a good idea to begin chelating soon after your last amalgam has gone and reduce this from occuring and get healthier sooner.

(and don't forget after the dental appointment when you get home to take off the clothes you wore, put them straight into the wash and get into a shower and wash every bit of yourself thorougly, due to exposure to vapor in the dental office). It gets onto your skin, into your nose eyes and on your clothes and shoes. That's how bad this stuff is.

Sorry for the length of this post, but I try and be as thorough as I can with people going through this and to avoid unecessary extra problems.

best wishes and hope all goes well for you.
