Hi, Sunny

Great question. I now wish I'd known two months ago what you are about to learn

now.

I'm in the 2 month slump right now. I'm not really on the supplements Andy

recommends

in his book yet, or at least not much (probiotics--just started, milk thistle,

just started,

cod liver oil and folic acid for many months now).

Here's what I'm dealing with. These things were not noticeable until EXACTLY 2

months

after having my 3 tiny amalgams removed (which I did Dec. 21, '07).

Depression (crying over things that I'm anxious about, unable to find much joy

in my

delightful 2 year old daughter, I just want to be left alone by everyone).

Advanced Adrenal Fatigue. You must get " Adrenal Fatigue, " by Dr. and read

it to

prepare, in case this hits you like it hit me. Andy's book gives a good

description of what

I'm experiencing with symptoms. For me, the major symptoms are inability to

bounce back

with energy once I " use it all up " on one taxing activity for the day, time

pressure or

relationship demands in the spur of the moment causing me to be " unable to

cope, " and

get very verbally irritable and sassy and upset, losing way more weight than is

healthy for

me, and plus, very very short menstrual cycles, due to a complete lack of the

appropriate

hormones. Those are just a few of the many areas it's affecting. This adrenal

fatigue is

causing most of my distress currently, and I'm trying to find a way to get it

manageable

before chelation, or else I know the chelation process will make it worse.

Major forgetfullness in short term memory. This is getting embarassing. I have a

wonderfully understanding husband, so that helps.

Confusion and even less to express myself clearly than before.

I can't think about anything else but one thing I'm getting " fixated " on

mentally, and my

husband gets tired of hearing about it 24/7.

All these things are new and started showing up 2 months after my fillings came

out.

They're hitting me with a vengance. I can't wait to start chelation, but I've

gotta check

under my crowns and inlays, first. Get ready!

Hi sunny,

are those all your amalgams?

I know everyone is different and I had 12 amalgams removed in 4

sitting, 3 months apart. I kept notes and I was sick for three

months. Initially in the first week, symptoms that had been pretty

dormant (sp?) surged - relux, neuropathy. After the first week I got a

bit dull, depressed. then felt better until week 7-10. They were

tough and the I got better and felt better than I had before my

removal - only to do it all over again. This pattern for me was very

consistent 4x.

Hang in there- I am now finished round 12 and I am so much better -

still a long way to go! but wow what a difference. The highs and lows

are as severe. i don't dread waking up. I don't dread being with my

kids. There are ups and downs. Take one day at a time and know it

will get better

Well, I didn't have any problems after amalgam removal, not even at

the 3-6 month mark. So I don't think it necessarily is bad. Everyone

is different, and you don't know how it will be for you.

I would recommend that you get on the supplements ASAP. If you have

any indication of adrenal/thyroid problems, get support in place for

them. Then, as soon as you think you are ready, start on the DMSA.

You only need to wait 4 days before starting on the DMSA. And I think

I read in AI that the dump period is usually easier if you start DMSA

before it starts. Look for TK's recommendations on starting chelation.

I didn't know any better so I followed some fool's recommendation of a

chelation protocol using cilantro and chlorella... big mistake. Even

after that I didn't know to do anything for my adrenals. I just kept

wearing myself out. So, whatever you do, don't do nothing. Nothing

just doesn't work.
