Any advice of what to do before/during/after procedure?

I have heard Vitamin C after (but not before because it interferes w/ novacaine), breathe through your nose is another one.

Is it at all painful or similar to having a cavity filled?

Ditto to your lots of Vitamin C afterwards bit.

I always take chlorella tablets and grind them into a powder to swish around in my mouth several times then spit out DIRECTLY after the procedure- like in the dentist's restroom- to mop up any mercury that might be in my mouth. Also gargle with it, too, for any that might be in the throat.

I don't recall it being very painful, but I've never had more than one done at a time. Uncomfortable for sure, but not very painful.

I was asked to take 2 charcoal tablets [chewed] 15 minutes before each quadrant removal.

Ditto to lots of Vit C afterwards.

I presume you have a more long-term plan for getting rid of the stored metals?

Watch out for yeast problems after removal and be diligent with probiotic Look too for zinc deficiency.

I just had some done, and I took tons of chlorella as well as charcoal right before and after. I had novicaine for my removals as I was having other work done at the same time. I am now back on my Salt/C and probiotics and I will do mega doses of chlorella for several weeks. Felt fine after, no ill effects.

I had a mouthful done all at once (twelve) and i used sedation. I was such a nervous wreck (I was full of anxiety every day back then, though).

I felt a little silly afterward about all my anxiety - my dentist is a doll.

I went right to my LLMD's office directly from the dentist and had my first IV (Vit C and lots of minerals) and I think a DMPS push. I then did IV's to chelate the mercury and other metals every other week.

I feel blessed that my Lyme Dr. deals with the chelation.

All went well today. I did the charcoal rinse before and took a bunch of vitamin C after. I had all 4 removed.

So nice to not see any silver in my mouth and know I achieved another hurdle in overcoming health issues.

How long should I be on an increased dose of Vit C for? I didn't have chlorella though.

My LLNP recommended IV chelation but I don't have the time or money to go that route. My ND suggested dealing w/ candida first. Have some decisions to make!

Yay for you!

I can relate with your relief in having them all out!

Congratulations!

[woohoo]

Increased Vitamin C can't hurt. I'd say keep up the dosage for 3-5 days then back down to whatever dosage you take normally.

Research binders and oral chelation or HPU/KPU protocol. Add something that will get the stores of mercury out of your body!

May health be with you!

Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began.

Just so glad I could help push you in the right direction for your health! I really feel this is an important step to stop the toxic overload!

Now that you are not being continuously poisoned, you can choose how to detoxify.

Here is to a toxic free life!
