Thinking things through...

It has been just a little over three weeks since I finished up the last round of chelation. I've noticed a lot of ups and downs during this time, mostly downs. Lots of headaches, extra fatigue, just an overall feeling of unwellness, off-balance and dizziness, and some irritability has creeped back in. I don't know if it's good to be feeling so bad yet - is it that my body is trying to adjust to the lack of heavy metals in my system or are heavy metals being introduced back in because we haven't found where they are coming from yet? In any case, I've been trying to maintain a small level of activity so that I can rest when I need to, although being a full-time wife, mom, and homeschool teacher has it's responsibilities that don't allow huge amounts of time to 'work' on healing. It also seems the weather affects me greatly. Seasonal changes especially cause fluctuations in how I feel, and having SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) stemming from the HMT does not help right now with it being winter. I'm hoping that will eventually change as I continue healing.

I will be retesting in March, and I'm guessing I will have another round of chelation in April-May. In a way I'm wanting to do it all sooner because I think overall things are getting better. It's just hard to see that some days when I still have symptoms that feel more overwhelming since I've become so sensitive to everything during this time. I just keep thinking if I could remove all of the toxins faster I could really concentrate on getting better right away rather than this constant 2 steps forward- 8 steps back yoyo that I'm riding on. I would probably have 30 steps back, but then I could take each step forward without having to worry about going backwards again. I know that's not a safe way to go, however, and I need to be patient. It took several years to build up the amount of toxins in my body...it will take just as long if not longer to get them out. I need to let my system heal slowly so that it can heal properly.

Newsletter from Dr Huggins February 2009

The past few years have been spent examining diseases and associated chemistries controlled by dental materials beyond just mercury. 35 years ago I made a huge mistake. Armed with 12 patient cases, I went to the dental associations asking that mercury be banned due to its obvious poisonous consequences. There were consequences, none of which reduced mercury consumption. Personal consequences resulted in assaults that I had no idea my parent organization would launch, especially when the “code of ethics” spelled out, “If you discover anything that concerns the health of the professional, or the public, you are required to expose that information to the professions and the public”. Sounds pretty responsible, but it was not true when evaluated against liability, financial loss and professional embarrassment. I feel exonerated to a limited extent by the recent admission of the FDA that there were reasons why they limited mercury in all areas of public exposure, except dental fillings, and I was pleased that they stepped in the right direction by saying mercury amalgam fillings should not be placed in pregnant women and children. I’ve always wondered why pregnant women are so special. Why should I not be protected as well as they? Today, there is another problem to be confronted. Toxins from root canals, implants and cavitations provide even longer acting consequences than mercury. This time I shall share my findings with non-political entities to turn discoveries and observations into scientific research that can improve the health of the planet far more than providing government paid drugs to cover up symptoms. By mid February, press releases will be sent out telling of some of the 40 most influential chemistries I have monitored during the past 40 years. 200,000 data points have suggested to me that mercury is not the only dangerous dental material. Porphyrins, spinal taps, cholesterol, white blood cells and albumin have been great teachers to demonstrate how influential toxins from dental procedures can be. You, the public should have a choice. You may choose to smoke, consume alcohol, drive too fast – but! You know the potential consequences. How many people know the consequences of housing the 40 anaerobic bacteria in implants, the 60 in root canals, or the 80 in cavitations? How many know the adverse consequences of trying to fight these microbes with antibiotics? Should you be told the consequences, or just accept the fact that dentistry has raised the requirement bar of 30 million root canals per year up to 60 million per year. Why the increase? Did they stop making tooth brushes? When would organized dentistry get around to telling you that these bacteria (found in 100% of the samples tested with DNA identification methods) are more damaging than smoking or drinking (or cocaine)? Watch for information as it hits the media, and please let us know what you saw and where you saw / heard it. This will assist us in getting this important message to the most valuable listeners. You.
