Aluminum chelation, was: Re: Another development in autism

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Rich (and Tim),

I do recall now that my doc uses an 'I.V. push' to test for metals.

He's a proponent of chelation, does it regularly himself, but

believes that I'm too sick, with a raging bone infection, to handle

it. Metal chelation can be very hard on a person, and if you're

already sick, the results can be pretty disastrous. I felt compelled

to agree, after talking to various people who've been there, reading

various articles, and weighing my doctor's own reservations.

However, he did give me a powdered chelator, which I took for a

month or so and, like so many things, felt absolutely nothing from

and eventually dropped it. I have always thought that if I could get

the bone and sinus infection under control, that I would then look

into getting any remaining metal out of my mouth. I have to say I

wasn't happy to discover that my " porcelain " crowns are really just

porcelain over nickel, which I hear can be even worse than mercury

in its toxicity. This is a common ploy dentists use (or used to use)

to make money (very, VERY cheap to make crowns this way, yet charge

the patient $500) while the patient innocently believes he's getting

porcelain. (I pretty much despise dentistry, if you didn't already

know that).

Another thing many people don't realize is that mercury (and perhaps

other metals) continues to expand after being placed in your teeth,

so, over many years time, any minute cracks in your teeth will

become bigger because of the mercury expansion. These tiny cracks

are a direct pipeline for bacteria to enter your jaw bone, eat into

your sinuses, or worse, work their way into your CNS, spine or

brain. There are studies that show how staph organisms can infect

the trigeminal nerve, the LARGEST nerve in the body, which goes

directly along the jaw and up to the brain. An infection in the

trigeminal nerve can lead to some serious neruological and physical

problems.

So, IMO, dentistry is another travesty perpetuated by a

corrupt/inept medical system, more concerned with profits than

patients.

thanks again, Rich, for your continued efforts and research.

Hi Penny,

The IAOMT dentist I referred to uses a lab test to determine what can

safely go into a person's mouth. (Hope it works.)
