Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I don't know anything about heavy metal blood tests, but I have had tests for heavy metals in which they use your hair. They can test for all types of heavy metals. I was very surprised to see what other metals had accumulated in my body despite being on a natural, organic, whole foods diet for years!!! I had my 16 amalgam fillings out 19 years ago, and I had severe repercussions immediately following removal. Have you had any noticable issues? When I finally got a hair test done 10 years later, the mercury was still there.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Clare, This is my understanding that might apply here. Mercury and other heavy metals can be stored in fat tissues and other organs. If you had that much mercury or other heavy metals in your blood you could be dead, so your body hides/stores it away. If you had a blood or urine test, you could test for minimal heavy metals. In my case, I had a urine test, which showed very little mercury. Then I went on a heavy metal detox (herbal supplements) and after 6 weeks, I had another urine test which showed elevated levels of mercury, arsenic and aluminum. Where did these come from? The idea is that my body started releasing these heavy metals that exited via urine due to the herbal supplements I was taking at the time. Hair analysis might be a better picture, but I'm not that familiar with that test to make any comments on that test. Cheryl > > I have had two heavy metal blood tests which showed nothing.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 The test most Dr's use is either a hair test or a DMPS Challenge test (IV injection of DMPS and then collection of urine for 6 to 24 hours depending on the test). If you did not have a trained dentist in the proper removal (aka safe) of the amalgams you could have poisoned yourself further. Dr. Huggins set up an accepted safe protocol of oxygen mask, dental dams, low speed drills, filtration systems in the room and IV high dose vitamin C after removal. Testing Mercury? I have had two heavy metal blood tests which showed nothing. At the time I was experiencing major idiopathic sensory neuropathy which I now wonder whether it might have been the result of Hashimotos or crashed adrenals. It wasn't until years later that my TSH went high (32). My understanding is that with thyroid antibodies, certainly TSH is not indicative or reliable, although I am not sure about fT.3 or fT.3. At the time of testing I had a mouthful of amalgams, although all covered by crowns. Any thoughts as to why the tests showed nothing? I believe they were blood tests. Is there a special kind of Mercury test? If all the teeth w/amalgams & crowns were extracted (under IV sedation), would there be repercussions from Mercury? Does anyone know?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hello: I have just returned from a Huggins clinic and had all my amalgams removed that were under caps. It is very important that the proper protocol is done so that you are not exposed to more mercury upon removal or you can get worse. Any amalgams under your caps or uncapped are continually leaching mercury into your body. Mercury does not stay in the blood or you would die so it stores it in your organs and tissues etc. Therefore any blood tests will not show sufficient mercury levels unless you have just been poisoned with mercury and it hasn't had a chance to settle in the organs and tissues yet. I had a doctor test my blood and the levels came back zero - yet when I had a DMPS challenge done I had levels off the chart. By the way Huggins is not in favor of DMPS in removal of mercury and unless you've had the mercury removed from your teeth the DMPS will chelate it from there giving you a higher test result. Also hair analysis that shows low mercury levels usually means you are retaining the mercury in organs and tissues and will also show low levels. At Huggins clinic they did a methyl mercury blood test to show how much is attached to the hemoglobin and I am still waiting for the results. You mentioned having the teeth removed under IV sedation. Be also careful who you go to for removal of teeth as that must be done properly as well - the peridontal ligament must be removed and all bone cleaned well so you do not get cavitations which cause deadly bacteria to reside in the unhealed bone. I also had many cavitations which had to be cleaned out. Having work done under IV sedation is a good idea because the body is in a time lapse - however you don't know what is being done to you since you are out of it. So make sure you know exactly what they will do and what materials they will use. (you can also get a blood serum compatibility test done to find out what materials are least offensive to your immune system) I had this done but had problems with the materials reacting with my teeth. They replaced the mercury in my teeth with material that is metal free, but my teeth reacted to the material they put in with severe pain and I had to go back and have different material put in. 2.5 years ago I had a different dentist replace some of the amalgam under some of my caps and he replaced them with material that also had metals in it. Also be careful of what material are in the caps as I reacted to that as well on the temporary caps they put in. If you are mercury toxic you probably will not be able to tolerate many toxins in your body. At this point I'm considering having all my teeth they just took the mercury out of just pulled, but that starts a whole new problem with wearing partials etc. I'm really scared about having my permanent caps put on all these teeth. Just be very careful who you go to to have the mercury removed as I have heard stories from my doctor that I have been working with of people ending up in renal failure for the dentist not doing the proper protocol and the person has inhaled so much mercury it is too hard on the kidneys. As for mercury testing if you have amalgams in you mouth you have mercury in your body - does it matter how much at this point? By the way Huggins sais that when amalgam work is done in the mouth within 4 seconds it has hit the thyroid gland. Once you have the mercury out of your mouth then your body will start to throw it off by taking nutrients that help with that and detoxing the body to assist in the removal. Huggins also says that you will never get rid of all the amalgam in your body, but the goal is to be taking in less than you are excreting so the load is decreasing continually. Some of the rules to this are: do not eat anything from the ocean or sea etc. No sea salt, no fish or fish products, get rid of the CFL light bulbs in your house as they off gas mercury. No pork consumption as it is toxic to the body. Stay away from toxic cleaners - there are lots of things that have mercury in them - you can find lists on the internet and stay away from those things. I just started on the iodoral 2 pills a day so 25 mg. and am afraid to increase my dose as I hear about the itching on this site and the last thing I need is another symptom I'm having troubles dealing with. I understand it helps chelate the mercury from the body and that is what I'm trying to do. As soon as I had major dental work done 24 years ago I had immediate problems with my thyroid so I'm totally convinced that mercury does affect the thyroid as well as we are an iodine deficient society so the two go hand in hand in causing so many problems with the thyroid. > > > > I have had two heavy metal blood tests which showed nothing.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 ,Thank you so much for your lengthy reply—I learned a lot I wished I had known before starting w/my extensive dental work.I had my teeth extracted at the U.MI dental school graduate periodontal clinic. In retrospect, it really knocked me for a loop. Testwise, my TSH did not go up (to 32.0) for a year and a half, although I was also Dx w/Hashimotos at that time. To my knowledge, I have no amalgam left, and all the crowns I now have are all porcelain ONLY, not porcelain over metal. Wish it were easy to know what the next step should be.Thanks again, On Jan 9, 2009, at 1:03 PM, windsong969 wrote:Hello:I have just returned from a Huggins clinic and had all my amalgamsremoved that were under caps.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I happened to ask a dentist this week about mercury. He told me crowns do not have mercury in them. Crowns are cast so they don't need the mercury to make them quickly squishy and set like silver fillings. He says they have spent zilliions looking for an alternative to mercury in the last 100 years but so far no luck. So if you have crowns those are not the worry but most of us have quite a mixture in our mouths.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Crowns create an electrical charge in your mouth if they are gold or silver. They are not good. You need to use Porcelain.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I had four crowns put in about 16 years ago by a 'biological dentist' after he took out all my amalgams - only he neglected to tell me that there was a metal base to each of the crowns and I was shocked to see them on an X-ray a few years later.There is a lot of information on mercury removal safety if you google for it.It's not to be done lightly as it releases more mercury in the process.RitzOn Jan 9, 2009, at 1:40 PM, Pamela Valley wrote:I happened to ask a dentist this week about mercury.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 There are a problems with composites too (but in comparison better than mercury). Most composites and sealants (if not all) contain BPA =Bisphenol A which is now banned in baby bottles in Canada because of it's xenoestrogens. If you google composites and bisphenol A you will find a range of articles. Many Dentists are aware of the problem but for many it leaves them feeling stuck between a rock and a hardplace. For me, I am trying to avoid all environmental oestrogens because of the breast-cancer link. Having said that, hopefully the iodine will help conteract those enviromental oestrogens because I have sealants that were put on my teeth years ago Google and you will find much info on the topic.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Which brand of Himalayan salt do you use?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Steph and Cheryl, Can you give me ideas, like a certain type of crown(s) that I can use (manufacturer and type), and websites to look at (but realize I am in a smaller town...). If I have a certain crown that I know I want, it might make it easier to call around. The teeth do not have fillings to be removed, they are lacking enamel from having tetracycline as an infant.

Steph and Cheryl, Can you give me ideas, like a certain type of crown(s) that I can use (manufacturer and type), and websites to look at (but realize I am in a smaller town...). If I have a certain crown that I know I want, it might make it easier to call around. The teeth do not have fillings to be removed, they are lacking enamel from having tetracycline as an infant.
