Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 -this is only my personal thoughts on this. mine never bothered me until mold exposure which caused sinus infections that went into my gums and teeth. now with chronic sinusitis if the infection goes into my gums it bothers my teeth. it seems to me that I can taste the fillings when I'm suffering from a sinus infection that goes into my gum area.I dont believe that fillings theirself can cause problems,but do think that with infections in the area they than might. ? theres a lot of people out there with fillings that dont have any problems with them. -- In , felice <anupath14@...> wrote: > > do you promote replacing " silver " fillings for us folks with MCS??? > I tried going to the dds a couple of weeks ago and could not stay. had a bad reaction. made another appt.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Felice, I am not expert, but had a similar thought a couple years ago. So, I did some research. Asked my dentist. Didn't like his answer, so asked another, didn't like his and asked another. I wanted those fillings out of my mouth. Basically what I was told is this. People freak out because of the word Mercury. But, nothing at all has been proven that there is any more threat than eating on dinnerware. (something to that effect-hehe) Once it is hardened it's better than removing. Removing has caused some serious health effects for many. However, if you have a choice go for the porcelain. Well, I can guarantee you that wasn't their exact words but like I said I'm no dentist. Basically, I took big words and confusing sentences and repeated it them in my own words. hehehe So, that's where I left it. You have to do what you are comfortable with, what makes you feel better, safer. [] mercury in fillings do you promote replacing " silver " fillings for us folks with MCS???

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I agree with you. To me the they feel colder too, it seems like I can taste them too.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Felice, I'm curious. What kind of bad reaction did you have? I ask, because, about two months ago I also had a bad reaction at the dds office. They put the lidocaine in and got my vein or artery or whatever and my heartrate shot way up along with me feeling lightheaded and dizzy. It went away but now I'm freaked out about going to the dds which I have NEVER been before. I also was in the ER over this past weekend for chest pain/shortness of breath (they found nothing, absolutely nothing and they did every kind of test there is for heart trouble, I believe)...wondering if the dds visit somehow damaged or weakened something? And if the mold in this house (if the place smells musty,. it has mold, I assume) is contributing to my symptoms? Just curious what your experience was. You can email me off list if you want, or on, whichever makes you more comfortable. Thanks, Cathe [] mercury in fillings do you promote replacing " silver " fillings for us folks with MCS???

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Cathe, When I was at my worst I would get the lightheadedness along with the dizzy feelings. I also spent time in the hospital for the chest pain, tingling/numbness and SOB. Even had a heart cath to rule out any problems. I had no heart problems at all, in fact it was in excellent condition! I experience the lightheadedness now when I am around fragrances and many times get a burning/tightness in the center of my chest. The plug in type air fresheners are the worst. You may ask the dental office if they are using them in the office. Sue Felice, I'm curious. What kind of bad reaction did you have?

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Be aware that the debate about so-called silver fillings has been going on for more than 150 years. The American Dental Association was actually formed in order to promote the use of mercury fillings, since the organization American Society of Dental Surgeons was against the use of mercury amalgams. See the fact box " The ADA and mercury fillings " at the end of this article, http://art-bin.com/art/dalen_en.html where also the question whether amalgams are stable or not is discussed. Not everybody has problems from mercury fillings. It is a question of individual sensitivity. It is the same with smokers, not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer. Sensitivity to molds, for instance, (or other environmental toxins or pathogens) may promote sensitivity to other things that you have for a long time tolerated. So it is not at all unthinkable that some people all of a sudden feel metal taste in their mouths if they live in a mold contaminated house, for instance. If one should remove one's mercury fillings is another story. In general, most people would probably benefit from doing that, but some are in such a bad condition that a removal could be too much of a stress on various organs and systems - especially if the removal is not done in the correct way. I have been very ill for the last 13 years due to a removal that was not done correctly. I was probably exposed to more mercury during that removal than during my whole life. So anyone who considers a removal should read as much as possible about all of the precautions and vitamins and minerals etc that are needed for the procedure. A good starting point could be an article by Swedish mercury researcher Mats Hanson which I published a couple of years ago in my web magazine.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Karl-, You did a much better job putting that than I did. Heck I even understood it. hehehe Thank you for sharing that in simple english. I am sorry that you have been effected by the removal. The information you have provided is very imformative.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 To me, common sense tells one that if it's toxic, it doesn't belong in our bodies. No one argues that mercury is toxic. If you have your amalgams removed, make sure whoever does it, does it correctly. If done wrong, it can cause more damage. Check out these sites for more info. http://www.iaomt.org - info for finding dentists that do it correctly. http://www.dams.cc http://www.mercurypoisoned.com http://www.amalgam.org http://www.nomercury.org - a site about the dangers of all forms of mercury by an MD who learned the hard way, by watching his child fall into the depths of autism after vaccination.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 What is a safe alternative to mercury? I had an epoxy one put in to replace a mercury one a few years ago. Didn't want to do it but the dentist said I had a tiny crack in the tooth. That or he needed a new set of golf clubs. He wanted to schedule another visit to do yet another " cracked tooth " and I never went back. The one he did still hurts if I get cold water on it or bite down on something as soft as a carrot. Same dentist in early 90's decided to drill out all of my mercury fillings and replace them with mercury. (half dozen or more) At the time they were no more than 20 years old. I wasn't sick at the time either and trusted his judgment. What a mistake. Didn't get sick till 5 years later. Could have been one of many factors in my demise.
