help! just had amalgum filling removed.

[mombh]

I just had an amalgum filling removed today, the tooth was bothering me and my dentist said that part of the filling had chipped off. He recomended that he remove the filling and put a crown instead....which at the time (in the office ) sounded good......but now Iam worried about ...having absorbed "stuff" while he was removing it.
My tooth feels better but Iam stressing about the metal toxins now:
I would appreciate if anyone could give me any suggestions, I have heard about using cilantro what do I do with it ?????
eat it raw, cooked?
Iam not nursing anymore (ds weaned 2 weeks ago) and as far as I know am not pg at this time, so at least I don't have that worry:
TIA

Sodium Ascorbate (a form of vit C) would be really good to take right now. Take as much as your body can handle. You'll get Montezuma's revenge once you've taken too much (which is safe but not the desired effect ). I'd start off with at least 1000 mg and go up from there. I take 1000 mg when I'm coming down with a cold. It knocks the cold right out and I don't have the undesirable side effect. The SA will help your body get rid of the toxins from your filling. Be sure to get SA and not another kind of Vitamin C. It can be tricky to find but I've found brands such as NOW and The Right C in my local HFS. As far as the cilantro goes, I would just chop it up and eat it raw. Perhaps you can make some salsa with it.

I second the SA. Take some every hour until you have liquid stools. Continue this for three days total for this exposure.
