Re: Totally cool

Helen, this is not an easy subject.

First thing, having mercury amalgams removed can make you sicker if

you're already pretty ill. My doc recommends waiting even on

chelation, until you're stronger. Of course, each case is different,

but don't allow yourself to be talked into anything without lots of

research.

Second, if the expensive equipment the doc has is a CAVITAT imaging

device, be very cautious. My personal experience and research has

shown these to be unreliable diagnostic tools, difficult to

duplicate their results. Also, they tend to show numerous problem

areas and are used as justification for major dental surgery. If

this doc has an imaging device that's used for dental implants, that

could be more useful, and insurance will generally cover the cost of

these kinds of CT scans if they're for diagnostic purposes (but not

for " cosmetic " purposes). Be very, very cautious. Do a lot of

homework and find a good team of doctors before doing anything

drastic. There's a lot to learn.

I know people who've had the full body scan you're talking about.

They're better than the Cavitat, IMO, but don't give you the whole

picture either. However, considering your report and experience,

it's likely that the lit up in your area is a problem. And very good

news that other areas of your spine appear to be okay. Now if we

could only get such a scan to look at our organs.

this list very often but today's posts really got my attention. I

had two teeth extracted about 8 months ago and afterwards a bump

came up on the jaw just under where one tooth was pulled. This

dentist says that it is nothing and said he could do a little

incision and remove what ever it is but I haven't been back to him.

He made me a partial plate and it really serves the purpose but he

wants to remove the bump so he can make me a $1,000 partial plate.

There is a dentist about 60 miles away that removes silver fillings

and has a machine to diagnose problems but expensive.
