Amalgam update

I just wanted to come and update how my progress is going. So last night I did more research and found out a lot of different information, one of the most important being that my attempted detox was only making things worst, you shouldn't detox heavy metals like mercury with cilantro without having a chelator, what I was doing (detoxing with cilantro) was very dangerous and could be why I feel so sick right now. Although cilantro is good at removing heavy metals from the brain it didn't get flushed out of my system completely...so that may explain why I've been feeling so sick lately, I even went to the urgent care place to see if they could help me but they couldn't.


Also today I went and got my dental records, well, I didn't get them completely. Let me say something first... I'm very angry and upset that these amalgams were put in my mouth in the first place, they contain mercury!! mercury is not good for the brain and the FDA even admits that, they claim that the amount that the amalgams release is very small and insignificant, well not for me! I would like NO amount in my system, mercury is one of the most dangerous metals and it's been in my mouth causing me problems for the past 18 or so years.


Ok, so let me slow down for a minute, last night I started to panic about these things and I went on the internet and found all sorts of information, and getting these things out of my mouth won't be an easy task, it comes with risk! first off, I have to get a dentist who knows what they are doing, I do think I found one but there is no telling really if he is the best. Because if this is done wrong then my body and mind will be in even worst trouble.


Let me rewind, Some people are getting their amalgams removed and I want to get mine removed as well because all of the symptoms that other people have are the same symptoms I've had (chronic fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, acne, pains). I got so mad last night when I realized that I had POISON in my mouth for so many years and what is worst is that it's not something I can just easily get fixed because it comes with risk to remove them. Now I have to do all this research and figure out what steps I'm going to take.


My first step was taken today, I went back to the childhood dentist who put these terrible things in my mouth against my will and lack of knowledge (because I was a child) and I asked them to give me my records, they were nice about it at first.. but when I started to give them more information about why I needed my records they seemed hesitant like they wanted to conceal something, the lady there told me that they don't use amalgams any more and I was like "I know why" but I didn't say that, but I feel like such a victim of cruelty.

Ok, so while I was getting my records the lady was at first ok and asked me to sign a release form, as I was filling it out I asked her if she could sent the information to me and she said she could, but then she was like "I don't know if we still have your file" (because of my age) she was explaining how they only have to keep the record for so many years..etc.. well, she went back into the back to see if she could find it anyway and surprisingly she did find it, apparently my records were kept the old way and not in the computer system. When she had them in her hand I wanted them so badly to take them home and look over all the damage that was done to me and the years it happened so I could determine how long these have been in my mouth but she didn't just hand over the records, that's when she seemed to get secretive about it, and she said she would email it to me instead of sending it in the mail or just making a copy there and giving it to me. So far I haven't received my email but I will be waiting and expecting it soon, if not I'll go back.


The whole reason why I wanted the records wasn't just so I could pinpoint the dates that I got each amalgam put in but also because I contacted a who takes them out the safe way and when I called they said they needed my x-rays of how deep the filling was in so I wanted to make sure they got that information. I do have x-rays as well but the original dentist said that I would need new ones anyway, but I really don't want to get an x-ray done because they can be harmful too.


By the way, I have 4 amalgams in my mouth, I checked this morning to be sure I have two on the top row which are right behind each other and I didn't see the first one last night, my other two are on the bottom row and would be the easiest to get out in my opinion. I wish I only had 1 but they decided to go crazy I guess when they did this to me, it really makes me mad because I wish I didn't have this, but it's the only thing that explains me to continue to be sick and have brain fog even though I've cleaned up my diet and environment, nothing else seems to explain it.

I actually feel bad for other people who have more than me, I've read stories where some people had 10 in their mouth! I want to mention something really quick that made me feel even more afraid of these amalgams.. there use to be a family on youtube who made videos and they had a young daughter who was maybe 4 or something who got a mouth full of them, first off, the FDA only recommends the fillings for children up to age 6, but this little girl couldn't have been 6 and had a mouth full of them... but the thing is later in their videos their daughter was showing signs of regression, like autism, and I wonder if it was the fillings that caused it. The problem is that they have since taken down all of their videos for some reason which is frustrating because I wanted to go back and see if that is what it was. But like I said, the dentist that I went to when I was a child said they don't use amalgams anymore, they use a composite filler that is white.


The thing is that when I was doing my research I found so many people who were so against it and they were angry they were not warned of the dangers of it, but in my case it was against my will because I was a kid at the time so I didn't have any say. And that is what is scary and frustrating about this is that my teeth have shaped and accepted the fillings as apart of the tooth so when and if I get them removed it will be a big adjustment for my teeth and something that the dentist has to be very skilled at and have enough experience to keep my teeth in tact and keep me safe from exposure. Not only that but people have died at the dentist and this is no laughing matter because I'm certainly scared about my options.


This would be so less scary if it were only 1 tooth, but we're talking about 4, so I'm really going to have to prep my body and mouth for this extraction.


The thing is that I'm not going to get it done right away, I still need to do more research and I need to be 100% sure this is the right thing to do and that it will benefit me more than harm me. I've heard people say that after getting them removed that their symptoms went away completely and I'm hoping that is my experience too, I don't even think I've done myself much justice in my writing to explain what I've been going through for so many years, but it's actually apparent if you even look at my spelling and all the times I said I was "dying", even then I didn't know what I was trying to describe all I knew is that something was wrong with my mental clarity, concentration, memory, and energy levels all of which are attributed to mercury exposure.


Now, I will say that I am also going to get a mercury test before hand just to get an idea of how much mercury I have in my system, I haven't found where I'm going to get that test yet because it's something specific that has to be sent to a special lab, I'm also planning on getting a gut analysis to see if my body has a harder time than what's normal detoxing itself and absorbing nutrients.. this will be important in determining if removing the amalgams is exigent or if I can wait a while.


I almost cried when I discovered that this could be the reason for so many years of living in a fog, I even remember back in 2011 when I went to the doctor and told her all of my symptoms and she just acted like it wasn't a big deal, she never even asked if I had amalgams because that would of been a possibility.


Well I'll be back to update as this progresses, right now I have this issue to worry about, the GRE test which is this coming Wednesday and my sister who texted me today and said she needed to move back in, so life is about to start changing and I hope it is all for the better.
