Possible Mercury Exposure - When To Resume Chelation?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We have been on the AC method for a year and a half with our now

5-year-old and have a big question...I did something stupid and don't

know when to resume the protocol. My son bonked his tooth the other

day and we took him to the local, regular dentist, who examined him

and said he was fine. The problem is that he was in a room that could

have been used that day for an amalgam removal or insertion. Do I

need to wait 3 months to re-introduce ALA after being in that room? I

know that we should have been in a Hg-free dentist, but now is it too

late? This dentist has always recommended removing Hg in the past,

but does not do it safely. Am I being paranoid? When I realized, I

wanted to grab him and run out.

On another note, I just read on healthytoys.org that bath letters have

mercury in them and I am beside myself. My son used to chew on them!

Should I allow another 3 months of no ALA for this too (he bathed with

some at my mom's last night). I am kicking myself.

Thank you for your input,

No, that isn't a significant exposure. Just continue on.
