Getting my amalgams out Monday

[Guest guest]

And was just wondering if anyone has any last minute advice that's not

in the files? Those who have BTDT, what helped you most?

Thanks! Wyndie

For me vitamin c was a life saver. Don't take any the day of your

appointment or it will reduce the pain shots from working. But the

next day...take a 1000mg in the am, and keep going anytime you start

to feel icky. I ended up taking it about 5 times a day for the first

week or two. I felt really great the first day of removal, other

than my teeth aching a lot. But the next morning..wow! Tired, a bit

nauseau. But taking the C pretty much stopped any side effects. I

carried some around in my purse too for a long time. If I started

feeling sick again, I would take 1000mg and be feeling normal again.

So this was key for me. I am not sure if you having IV-C or not with

your procedure. I think that really helped me feel good on the day

of removal. And don't worry...you will do fine. I did so much better

than I thought I would.

Wyndie I went to my regular dentist who took no special

precautions... I couldn't afford a specialist and wanted to get it

done. Also I had no symptoms of mercury poisoning. After the first

appt in which 3 fillings were replaced I felt sick, like a flu. The

following morning I spoke to someone in my son's homeschool coop who

I knew was interested in herbs and she recommended milk thistle. I

used the extract and it helped very much. In fact for $10 I had

enough to get me through that appt and two more - the second had 2

amalgams replaced and in the third he took out some amalgam under a crown.

Since then my son and I, we both take ala half the week, use milk

thistle only I now get the capsules because he can swallow capsules

but wouldn't want to to drink something unpalatable like the milk

thistle extract. I know milk thistle is also recommended on this list

so maybe this is not news to you but at least I've added my two cents, fwiw.

Good luck with it.

I had my 8 amalgams removed over 4 visits by a regular dentist,

without all the fancy precautions, because I could not afford the

extras. I took vitamin C, selenium, milk thistle, and a multi, and I

have not had any ill effects that I know of.

Hi friends,

I recently had amalgam replaced by a conventional dentist as well.

I'm taking a fantastic product that I highly recommend. It is made by

Renew Life, and it is called Heavy Metal Cleanse. It is a 2 part

system that you take morning and night. One part has vitamin C, B

vitamins, and other " neutraceuticals " . Then it also contains

chlorella, cilantro, garlic, kelp, important minerals, etc. and it is

full of antioxidants. Many health food stores have it, and you can

order it online too... You can look it up for more info and detailed

ingredients. Renew Life is a great company that specializes in

cleansing the body. (MANY other cleanses as well, like kidney

cleanse, Cleansesmart, etc.)

Good luck!

Thanks! How long did you have to do the Vit C to help with

symptoms? Weeks? Days?

Dana, was there a certain amount of these supplements you took at a

given time? Did you just take all of these every time you felt bad?

Did certain symptoms prompt you to take more of a certain supp?

Check the archives for info as to why cilantro and chlorella are a bad idea.

Marty, good idea to keep the live clean. Makes detox easier for the body.

I used Milk Thistle everyday while chelating.

Theres' also Liver Life, that I use now and have heard great things about!

I started about 2 weeks before my first appt. I took these daily

[still do, altho I have added some since then]

Vitamin C, 3000mg

Selenium, 100mcg

Milk Thistle, 350mg

Multi, has about 250% of USRDA for most vitamins.

Dana, how long after removal did you have to do this. I see you are

still taking these supplements, is it still for the amalgam

removal? If so, how long ago did you get them removed and what

happens if you don't take these every day?

Thanks again,

Wyndie

No, for other issues.

If I miss a day, not much happens. If I miss 2 days, I get foggy.
