Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thank you . I am glad you are symptom free. I know many people lead very productive lives with MS. I just am afraid of any diagnosis of a disease. How long have you been symptom free? ~Nahla lindajaytee wrote: Hi Nahla, I had my amalgams removed one quadrant at a time (I think it was every 6 weeks or so), worst ones first. I felt somewhat better after the first removal but I definitely worsened from the whole removal process. My dentist was highly skilled. I don't think I was exposed to much mercury. I think I worsened because of the stress. The important thing now is to make sure that the dentist that you have now is highly skilled at mercury free dentistry (or find another one) and have your remaining amalgams removed properly. It is also important to start on the basic supplements from Andy's 'Amalgam Illness' book. Read the adrenal sections of his book. You will likely benefit from the diet and supplement modifications that he suggests. You could try a sulfur food exclusion diet to see if a sulfur restricted diet would help to make you feel better (it does for many). If you can find the doctor/dentist, a vitamin C IV might help. I do have MS and adrenal insufficiency. Some of my worsening during the amalgam removal time was just because the whole thing was too stressful for me. I can see how you must be feeling very stressed with dealing with dentists and trying to figure out what is best to do with chelation. (By the way, Huggins was really out of line to make any diagnosis at all. Only doctors are allowed to do that. And way out of line to make it on the phone. It took neurologists TEN years to make my freaking diagnosis. And it's not all that bad. It has been 15 years since I had my first MS episode and right now I have NO symptoms of MS). My suggestion would be to try to find some stress busting techniques. The ones I have used over the years - music, meditation, prayer, walking, swimming, thinking positive thoughts. And also, you can tell yourself to relax a bit because you have found the right path to take for chelation. By finding Andy Cutler's methods you have saved yourself from much grief. With time you will be feeling a lot better. > > I know this group is for mainly discussing chelation, but in Andy's book he recommends removing amalgams slowly. As many of you recommended this as well. Which is why I did not go to the Huggins clinic and am waiting until November. > > Here's the thing, I have been much worse since one quadrant of amalgams have been removed with the dentist who did not use a rubber dam and I am very distraught. I was told by Dr. Huggins in a phone conversation that I have MS (multiple sclerosis). Mind you this was based on a laundry list of symptoms given over the phone and the fact that I have a slightly positive ANA..Huggins laughed when I said this and said, " that's like being only slightly pregnant. " > > Anyways, I did the electrical current screening at the first dentist's office and all my fillings read in the positive. 2 days later that dentist removed one quadrant of amalgams in the highest positive. Come to find out, his machinery must be inaccurate because my new dentist retested my currents and they were all negative. Now I fear they were not removed sequentially. > > Huggins paints such a grim picture for those whose amalgams were not removed in correct sequential order. He even goes on to say in his book that it can bring on full blown MS. > > I am scared that this is the case for me as my symptoms are progressing. Was I nieve to think my symptoms would gradually get better with each removal? I know some do not get better until they chelate, but do they feel worse? > > I have ruined my relationship with Huggins because I took issue with him keeping $1,000 of my deposit when I cancelled. I was not heppy he diagnosed me with MS after 30 minutes over the phone and no labs in front of him. He made me believe he was the only Dr. who could get me better, and while my brain knows better...my heart is sinking. > > Can anyone find it in their heart to offer some insight to this? Could you share with me what was your experience? WHy am I getting worse???? Do you think there is any claim to the polarity and MS and etc? > > I know we are very technical on this group, but someone mentioned as does Andy how fragile our mindset is. Mine has shattered. You may email me privately if you wish... > ntabbo@... > > Thank you ~Nahla > > > kind regards, > Nahla Abbo > > " The best way to predict your future...is to invent it " > -unknown > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
