Do you have to chelate after getting amalgams removed?

[Guest guest]

I keep hearing from numerous sources that chelation is necessary after

getting silver/mercury fillings removed, but I haven't read anywhere

why this is so. I mean, I can understand that your health might not

improve much if you don't do the chelation, but is it actually

dangerous not to (beyond whatever damage the mercury in your body is

already doing previous to amalgam removal), and if so, is it because

you're always exposed to a certain amount of mercury vapor during the

removal no matter how careful the dentist is, or is there a more

complicated explanation?

Thanks,
