First Day With 25% Less Mercury In My Mouth

I must admit that I don't feel so great this morning. I feel a little drowsy and have slight sore throat as if my tonsils are working overtime -- very thankful I still have them, because they're probably doing their job, which means they probably trapped any left over mercury before it went down my throat.

Even with as many precautions as my dentist took (rubber dam, hi-speed suction, purified air, oxygen tube, etc.) there are still microscopic particles that get by, as well as mercury vapor that gets released, and this morning I'm probably feeling the effects. And to think I only had two removed. Can you imagine what it would be like to removed all 9 at once?

The only person I know who did anything like that was a lovely older lady that I met in Kennebunk, Maine years ago who had had all her mercury fillings removed at the same time, probably by a dentist who didn't follow a stringent protocol such as the one developed by Hal Huggins or the one suggested by the IAOMT. The resulting mercury overload fried her nervous system. She now shakes uncontrollably, and requires assistance to do simple things like walking the beach. Dr. Hal Huggins was forward thinking dentist who saw the dangers of both using mercury and removing it. What was his reward for developing the first-ever protocol for safely removing mercury? The ADA removed his license and blackballed him.

I'm going to focus on the good side and be thankful that I met that nice lady who served as warning to me to take it slowly. I'm also thankful that this isn't my first trip to the beach, either. The fringe benefit of not feeling well for over 10 years is that I've had to learn to help myself and to tune in to how my body is feeling and then figure out what to do.

That means 75,000 IUs of vitamin A for my throat (yes, it's a lot, but it's only for a day or two), a big batch of kidney cleanse tea, a walk around the neighborhood in the early morning air (much more humidity in the morning, and the air is cleaner and cooler), lots of rest today, and probably the best thing for me: I canceled my next appointment that was for this Thursday and pushed it back a week to give me more time to recover.

On the bright side, I don't have an excruciating headache like I often do. Just a little foggy.

The way I feel this morning reminds me that mercury is no joke. However, when it's all gone from my body and it is time to joke about it, I may just have to find some Mercury I can actually enjoy.


What I love about this car is that the auction prices have never gotten out of line, and that you'd never know there's a 351 Cleveland V8 lurking under the hood.
