Living with amalgams--what to do if you DON'T chelate?

August 6, 2010

I have a/b 5 amalgams (and probably had more--possibly a total of 10 or 11 at

one point--some that were replaced w/ composite when I was younger--not

following any safety protocol), and I believe I have sulfation and mercury

toxicity issues. I also have a 3 year old who I feel was/is effected by these

issues. Avoiding certain high sulfur foods and some chelators keeps me from

feeling bad. I actually feel great, as long as I avoid specific foods/supps.

But I really don't know enough about what to eat/take and what to avoid.

I do not want to focus on chelation or amalgam removal, at least not at this

point in time. I would love any tips/pointers/resources on how to maximize

health and minimize mercury related issues while living w/ amalgams and mercury

in my system.

Are there foods or supps that naturally chelate that I should be avoiding? Are

there things I should try and get more of?

Someone asked: " How do we keep the damage of

mercury at bay without actually taking them out? "

His reply: " Antioxidants in large quantities. Plus flax oil and a bit of borage

oil to

replace the rapidly consumed EFA's.

With the water soluble vitamins and antioxidants it is necessary to give them

3 or preferably 4 times a day since they don't stay in the bloodstream a

whole day. "

I'd love more specific info in this line of thought if you have it to share.

Just fyi, we follow a WAPF style diet, also GF/CF/soy/corn+ free. I prefer to

use nutrient dense foods for healing, but will also use supps when necessary.

I'm also working on opening detox pathways w/ supportive nutrients (mag, zinc, B

vits, vit C, liver, sometimes clo, etc etc...)

I would love any and all input you have on how to live healthily without

removing amalgams or actively chelating mercury, esp ideas for what to avoid and

what to add to our diets/supps.

Thanks so much for any info you can share!!!
