I followed the hype and lined the pockets of a biological dentist in my area who removed all of my amalgams properly. I never felt any better...not even with chelation or chlorella. I don't recommend doing it.
Interestingly, what started this for me was having 2 amalgams removed by a dip shit dentist who did not use a dental dam and I swallowed practically a whole amalgam. I had diarrhea and went loopy, crying etc...for about a month and never felt well after that. I then lost both teeth because of him removing those fillings (he said it needed to be done.)
According to the biological dentist, he didn't do anything right at all and let too much air hit the teeth and put new fillings in and within a matter of days both teeth needed root canals.
I lost both teeth the next year. I had to fly home from a vacation and leave my family because my whole mouth, neck...etc was so swollen. I couldn't turn my head from the infection in one tooth. I had a root still in the one tooth (that had the root canal) and an 8 mm hole in my upper sinus that needed emergency surgery by a dental surgeon. The endodontist swore to me that there was no way a root could have been in that tooth, she got it all out...nope. It was hanging from the tooth that was removed...actually 2 roots were hanging. Because I was so angry, my dentist sent her a photo of the tooth with the root and the photo of my sinus cavity.
I don't like anyone messing with my teeth, so I go to the best dentists and shell out the money because at the end of the day, I will anyway if the dentist isn't good enough and doesn't know what he/she is doing.
That cost me a year of my health because the teeth were infected in my mouth for a year and I had migraines and I was fighting an unknown infection. I was so sick that year and had no idea why. Mouth/teeth can definitely affect the body. No doubt.
It cost about $7,000 that year for root canals, teeth being pulled, bridges, new white fillings, amalgam removals...
I should have left it all alone and never had the 2 amalgams out in the beginning...taking out amalgams can stir things up. Especially if not done right.
I just got home from the dentist. Why? A tooth, my back molar has been killing me. The xray says it's fine. The pain was being caused by a migraine on that side of my head that I had last week. Body/teeth=interconnected.
