Re: mercury rt3 antibodies and resistance

[Guest guest]

Hi Chantal,

Thanks for sharing your experience! I am VERY weary to try chelating, especially

after your experience! And I am also SO scared to have my amalgams out, but I

have managed to find a dentist who will " hopefully " take them out in the right

way...so hopefully I can void any negative effects. All very stressful this is!!

Take care!
