If it was me, I would try chelation with very small doses, like maybe

5-10 mg per dose, and only when there was a large break between dental

work treatments to see how your body responds. Whether to continue or

lower the dose would depend on how your body responds.

I would also try to find a doctor to prescribe DMPS because with the

longer dosing interval rounds can be longer.

This is another good reason to take things slow and carefully. I

can't remember where you are at with diet and supplements, but it may

be that you can work on tweaking those while doing the dental work.

Only you can decide how much stress your body can take right now.

Most people would make the mistake of trying a dose that was too high,

so I'm emphasizing that if you do decide to chelate use a very low

dose. If there are diet and supplement things that you can do work on

those because it's amazing how much symptom relief a person can get

with those two interventions.

I have been taking supplements as per Andy's book since 2 months now.

I am careful with diet (have been on SCD till recently, will be going

back to SCD soon).

First hair test did NOT meet any of the counting rules, but having had

about 12 amalgams since 15 odd years, with some of them just drilled

out with no protection makes me believe that I cannot but be mercury

poisoned. I want a repeat test to see where my body burden is now with

all the amalgam removed as far as mercury goes, and specially as a

baseline to compare while chelating. Does this make sense?

Yes, it makes sense to me. Be sure to get an essential elements test

from DDI.

Be aware that it is possible to not meet the counting rules and still

be mercury poisoned. Sometimes this would happen if the greatest

exposures to mercury were long ago, if most of the mercury is in the

brain, if the person has supplemented for some time, if the person is

genetically less susceptible to mercury transport derangement.

The ultimate test of toxicity is to experience symptoms with chelation.

Andy doesn't recommend using hair tests to track chelation (I think he

means that symptoms are a better indication of progress). I find it

useful to test once in a while to see if the test is looking better

(and after a year or so of chelation mine no longer met the counting

rules, but I know I still have a long time of chelation ahead).
