Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Andy: I basically had most of my fillings when I was sixteeen. I've only had two more since then (very small ones). I would like to know if I need be concerned about passing mercury onto future children given that the fillings were done at least sixteen years ago? Thanks.

One can never be sure, and there are lots of other sources of it, but this sounds like a low risk situation to me. > > _________________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think my fillings have a lot to do with it and am in the process of getting them all changed. According to my husband, one of the EPA reports on mercury indicate that people with amalgam fillings have 5 times as much mercury in their urine as the population at large. It certainly bears consideration.________________________________________________________ _ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not cumulative mercury be MORE after 16 years? Do you think the amalgam has stopped outgassing mercury? Or, maybe the merc would not be passed to the baby for some reason? thanks, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mercury in her body - most of the total amount - should be gone by now. Some will remain in her brain and perhaps liver, but not that much. SHE may still have problems from it, but there might not be all that much left to get into the baby. There is always some risk. I don't know what it is in this case, but it does seem much lower than someone who has fillings, or had them out last year. > Do you think the amalgam has stopped outgassing mercury? > Or, maybe the merc would not be passed to the baby for some reason? > > thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 -My fillings are also pretty old... my most recent ones (2) were put in when I was pregnant for my autistic son and his twin sister, 10 years ago. Does this mean that the mercury will leave the body, or does it stay until I chelate. And if the mercury leaks out less and less, is it safe for me to chelate myself, even if my fillings are still in place??? I would love to detox myself, but don't want to cause any more damage....
