Re: I second that emotion.

I felt a sense of joy with each visit - almost manic. However, within an hour or two of the novacaine wearing off I literally had to "crash" on the bed, exhausted and needing a nap. The visits do loosen up mercury dust that you can't help but get into your system.

Owen's pesto recipe is a must to be eaten daily during Amalgam removal, (and especially before each dental visit as cilantro binds with any mercury you swallow after the drilling out of said mercury). I actually had two visits when I forgot to eat it first.

I literally do feel like I'm getting my brain back. It's a slow process, because I'm still detoxing the mercury that has stored itself in my bodily tissues. I will be starting a liver detox regimen that starts on Sunday, (program through my alternate doctor who did hair analysis and iridology) - but I feel better with every passing day.

With the last of the mercury, too, I finally got released from the hypothyroid chokey feeling I'd get where it felt like my throat was "sticking" - that is now much relieved - it's about 90% better!

Also, the glands under my jaw got bigger (they were already big to begin with) - the salivary glands - when I started getting the mercury out. I can relate to the increased salivation issue because it got embarrassing! Sometimes at a meal, my mouth would LITERALLY squirt saliva! Ew! (Have your napkin at the ready!)

Well, two days ago, I had the last bit of mercury removed (three amalgams, one of which was so incredibly loaded with mercury the entire tooth had to be ground to a knub). Today, my salivary glands (which were so swollen they gave me an extra chin) are down quite a bit - I am excited! To think that mercury toxicity in my salivary glands may have been the cause of this extra chin and not necessarily "old age" has me quite happy! (I'm 50). To think that I might actually have a future without dreadful snoring has me quite hopeful!

In FACT, I can reproduce snoring in the wakeful state, just by relaxing my jaw. The pressure of the constant swollen-ness would almost always reproduce snoring in my breathing. I'm not getting that now.

THAT will mean a "more restful sleep" - who needs an airbed or drugs for that? Heck, I'll be able to sleep on the darn ground! Tweet
