Didn't know this stat. Is very interesting and frightening at the

same time.

I had read elsewhere that mercury is used in many chemical

processes, like the processing of Chlorine bleach and that a lot of

it is unaccounted for at the end of the day (smoke stack emmisions I

think). I had also read about the emmissions from cremation (Cali

elementry school next to a crematorium with sky high rates of ADD,

etc in the kids and adults with problems too). I guess, overall, my

thought was, if people know it's a proble, why aren't 'in charge'

people doing much to fix it? I know it is very political, but when I

talked to my dentist while he took out my fillings, he said he knew

nothing of 'enviornmental dentistry' and only that the ADA does not

recommend the removal of silver fillings. To me it seems so wide

spread that we should all be really nerotic about it.

And, they have had a few documented cases of long-term exposeure /

acute issues. I think I read something about a fishing village in

Japan, Pink's disease in the US, and the Mexican grain sent to Iraq

(?) issue from several years ago r/t a draught (it was treated with

mercury to keep the loss down on seed and was meant to be planted,

but arrived late and people decided to make bread with the grain

instead).

So after I had the fillings out, BTW thought it better to not take

extra supplements before because I had read that you could pull more

murcury from the fillings and cause more problems, I had the whole

issue with " brain fog " for at least a week and then less badly for

another week. Am 2 1/2 weeks out and feel a lot better. The day

after, it was so hard to stay on task and concentrate, but someone

reminded me that I had a bit of Novicaine and since I metabolize

drugs slowly and generally need lower doses to be as effective, I

thought maybe it could be r/t the Novacaine.

I guess I wonder if there is a point where everything settle back

down so people feel more normal? And if at that point it is worth

doing a challenge test or if it is better to leave well-enough alone?

Anyway, I got some decent Vit C and Chlorella to take after the

appointment along with a B-complex and wonder if others have found

these to be helpful. I heard / read that the Vit C has a higher

affinity for the mercury than body cells and therefore best to take

in large quantities. I have been taking 3 grams daily and noticed

that Andy's suggestion starts at 4grams.

Thank you and the other responder for your responses.

I should also say that the reason I wanted this done is because I

plan to have more children (I currently have 2 - 2 and 4 year old).

The elder is a boy who was almost dx'ed with autism due to language

and self help delays that put him about a year behind

developmentally. I had breastfed, spaced out (one at a time schedule)

the immunizations, refused a few (Hep B and MMR, waited til he was 4

months old to start....and began to think of preventing problems for

any subsequent children. He is so much better now with only a few

idiosynchicies...only every was dx'ed as sensory integration d/o /

defensiveness...so I feel fortunate compared to what " might have

been. " Am using supplements with him, the biggest being Coromega

fishoil which we hide in yogurt, but also a mutli vit w/o copper, B-

6 w/ Magnisium, Vit C, and DMG. It all seems to have helped and I

don't know of any negative implications if he didn't " need " any of

the stuff...but again, I feel there is concern to be neurotic

because of potential future implications...also wanting more

children makes me hesitate in thinking about a challenge test and tx

if indicated. I may only be 30, but.

Here's another question though, even after people finish a round of

chelation tx, say 10 or more years down the line, do they have to

worry about it again?

Anyway, thanks for hearing me and for your time / consideration,
