Yellow Nail Syndrome

I developed YNS in January 2010 after the implant of a titanium post in some dental work.  My symptoms were chronic sinusitis followed by all the nail problems.  More recently I have experienced edema of the lower legs and ankles.  I had no help from ENT's or dermatoligists even after enduring sinus surgery.  I eventually self diagnosed after contacting Dr. Fredrik Berglund of Sweden.  I sent him nail samples which tested positive for titanium.  The last of metal in my dental work was removed in late January this year.  I have yet to see ant dramatic improvement in my symptoms.  I see from these posts that vitamin E may help with the nails but I'm seeking a way to purge the titanium ions from my body.  Any advice you could provide would be be greatly appreciated.  I wish you all well in dealing with this insidious malady.
