plain and simple, i have my life back again.

chelation really got me at first, but i felt so bad before i didnt care. i ate cilantro by the bushels, and lots of raw garli and brazil nuts. i would get so tired after eating a bunch of cilantro that all i could do is sleep. after months of that(and plenty of water to flush it out), i can now eat a ton of cilantro and not feel it. at first, i couldnt find my butt with both hands, two helpers, a coach, and the dallas cheerleaders!

mercury changes everything because of the effect on the nervous system. nothing works right. so it has been slow and i continue to improve. the last of them came out in august of last year. i am now a new man.

Before I go on to disagree with you on several points I must concur that hair analysis is not the best method to test for metals and should only serve as an adjunct piece of information. Further more, I do believe that some people can go through their lives without major symptoms arising from dental procedures (dependent on how many hits their immune system has gone through).
Whatever your views are on amalgams, I'm sure you agree with me that mercury is a very powerful toxin (or you can just agree with numerous scientific tests done on this). With that said, and knowing that Amalgams are typically made of 50% mercury and that Amalgams are handled as toxic matter before being placed in the mouth and after removal, one would have to ignore the fact that when in the mouth they are just as toxic. Numerous studies have been done (specially in Northern europe) on long term effects of amalgams, including studies showing mercury leakage from silver amalgams. Again this is all documented, but when it comes to putting one plus one together (mercury health risks + mercury in amalgams) the math doesnt seem to work for many skeptical doctors (more like they are avoiding anything that shows their wrongdoing). Fortunately, there are a few dentists that have made the jump from convetional dentistry to a more holistic approached one because of the Amalgam issue.
So with this knowledge, I doubt that if you now had a decay in a tooth and required a filling you would choose Amalgam as the best option. Unfortunately, many of us are aware of the dangers of mercury after we had several Amalgams placed in our mouths. The big question is, will removing amalgams create a bigger problem than keeping them? (not whether or not amalgams are okay to be used). To me, removing them is the better option but there are things one should be aware of prior to removal. The sucess rate (with this I mean how fast mercury is removed from the system) largely depends on the persons current health status and how many amalgams and their age; most importantly it depends on the procedure followed to remove the amalgams along with type of chelation protocol (one that is customized to the individual). So if for example, one has 23 amalgams in their mouth and they were not properly removed (Huggins protocol is the closest to being "right") and chelation wasnt properly done, it would be wrong to expect overnight results. In fact, you can expect to feel worse for a long while because you were exposed to vapor mercury many times the "upper limit" during the improper removal.
In my opinion, no filling is safe, its a matter of picking the lesser evil.
Onto the root canals;
Like the Amalgam issue, studies have been done showing links between degenerative diseases and root canals; in my opinion, its not whether or not root canals are a major source of disease, its whether or not your your immune system can cope with it. Good teeth would be the last thing I would call root canaled teeth as they are absolutely dead and no longer a part of your body. They are simply necrotic tissue; do you know what happens in dead tissue? That's right, it starts decaying by naturally occurring bacteria and other organisms (critical process in nature otherwise there would be no organic recycling). Now, if you cut your blood flow to your hand for a long period of time and let it rot for a few days without cutting the dead tissue from yourself do you expect to live through it? Your poor immune system would soon become overpowered with toxins emmanating from the dead site and you would succumb with infection.
Conventional dentists make the wrong assumption that they can seal the dead tooth in a way that bacteria cannot enter or exit; not only are bacteria already in the miles of tubules before sealing but also materials degrade with time, which allows quicker transition of toxins to your body. To make matters worst, bacteria will adjust to the lack of oxygen (no blood flow) and create very powerful toxins (their waste matter).
I knew I made the right decision by having two root canaled teeth removed when a very strong odor (like rotting tissue) came off with the tooth and when I saw a large cyst in one of the roots.
One thing is to read about it, and the other is to experience yourself.
There are many testimonials claiming numerous benefits from amalgams and root canal removal, but they are also some where no change was seen (or their health further decayed); every individual is different and that includes dentists and how they operate, so you have to expect to have a unique experience if you choose to go through this type of work.

Thanks for you suggestion owl. I am sorry Amalgam replacement caused you so much problem. I've been searching for those that has gotten worse after Amalgam replacement actually. I don't really want to remove my fillings as they are working fine. However, my dentist says that my Amalgams are causings my teeth to crack, so I have to replace some of them anyways.

I understand that I should be skeptical with regards to the Hair Analysis test results, but I mean I don't think my mind can just produce mercury just because I think about it. I didn't know that Mercury maybe my problem until after all my symptoms started, I mean most of us don't know what is wrong with us at first until we start doing researches right?

As regard to mainstream medicine or dentistry. If I hadn't gone with the mainstream Science and gotten vaccines, I probably wouldn't have been sick right now. My first eye symptoms started after taking Antibiotics . My first eye floater started after seeing an Opthalmalogist. My night vision got a lot worse after seeing another Opthalmologist. I just wonder why the more doctors I see, the worse I feel immediately?

So who should believe? Mainstream medicine that has fucked up my life time after time or dark age voodoo docs? Probably neither. Mainstream medicine is good for a lot of health problems, but not for everything. So I am willing to give a shot at the Amalgam replacement. If it doesn't work, at least I know that isn't my problem and move on. If I don't, I may never find out what my problem is and suffer for the rest of my life.

I seriously hope I don't get worse in the long run though....

oh yeah, I'd much rather get denture than be sick. But I don't want either of them.

One of the Amalgams I had removed was by a conventional dentist (that tooth needed a crown because it was decaying around the amalgam) and this certainly exposed me to large amounts of mercury; subsequently, I had remaining Amalgams removed by biological dentist and followed the proper protocol; no chelation was done has apparently my system wasn't ready for chelation (even chlorella was too harsh); I still haven't gone through chelation per se yet (although I did take arctic alginate and that can gently remove heavy metals); I had a provoked urine test for heavy metals (with DMSA) done a few weeks ago and will be talking to my naturopath in 2 weeks to see my current heavy metals levels; he thinks my body might be ready for heavy chelation but he was concerned that he wouldnt be able to monitor my progress as I will be out of the country for a while.
It has been a while since removal and I had ups and downs (like you I had 4 vaccinations done after removal) and I also been looking to finally get rid of my root canals (I know my mouth is a nightmare) so Im aware that I can be challanging my immune system by doing too many things.
One thing that been helping me coping with all this is aminoacids (platinum plus), himalayan salt, minerals and EFAs
