Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Stories like this always impress me, and I must admit I was hoping for dramatic progress after getting my 2 fillings removed. Didn't happen. But I don't think the removal process did more harm, either. They used vacuums and dams and water and I would hope that more mercury was taken out of my body than was stirred up and re- deposited. As sharp as the dentist was though, he didn't even mention glutathione or possible dangers involved in the removal. Another doctor suggested getting a vitamin C IV afterward, which I did. Don't know if it helped. The wisdom I've read on this forum on this topic I just don't see from the doctors; it's sad. > > > Re: Re: Words for Breckenridge from Enlander > > > fwiw, i had my fillings removed. no change good or bad. well, except the > composite replacements don't last as long, and i am having to go and get them > replaced. > > jim > > I'm not surprised people didn't get much recovery from doing merc removal if they did it independent of glutathione status. If your glutathione is low when you remove it, I think you are putting yourself at high risk, you will not be able to detox it. Also if you remove it and glut is still low after, I dont' see how one would get better, and also merc doesn't come out of the tissues on its own, I think thats been pretty well established now by the DAN! people. Its important to get the glutathione status back up, work on unblocking the methylation cycle which would keep glut low, and then once those things are in place, use DMSA or DMPS to chelate out the merc. I think trying to chelate or even remove merc in a glut depleted state would be dangerous. I may be the exception however, having had that merc filling that had been placed in the jaw (through the bone)at the root of a tooth at about age 10. Who knows how many years/decades it had been leaking, but it was leaking like a sieve when it was taken out with that dead tooth. My brain felt an IMMEDIATE differnce. Less 'tortured' and chaotic, my balance probs improved in just a few days (had for many years) and w/in a month I had much less pain and swelling in joints. I do not agree that mercury removal is useless. I will go ahead and get the rest taken out slowly when my glutathione tests are closer to normal. I tested very low. But having that merc filling out required no drilling or heat, it was pulled out with the dead tooth intact. And I also had a Myers cocktail with glutathione IV injection just a couple of hours before my dental appt. as a precaution, something I plan to do for each dental visit that would mess with mercury. I felt better after that extensive work getting that big bridge drilled out and the tooth removed than I did going in! > > Marcia > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 The wisdom I've read on this forum on this topic I just don't see from the doctors; it's sad. my merc free dentist has been doing this work for about 30yrs and he'd never heard of glutathione. He might have been interested but frankly I was too sick and too tired to try and have to educate another Dr. He leaves all the chelation and other nutritional support to the naturepath and rec's to patients they go to a naturepath or someone else to chelate (he could care less if they do or not). The first merc free dentist I went to said she could take ALLL my merc fillings (and some very large) out in one day, no problems, no risks (she says) and hadn't heard of any body getting sick from it. Yah, right. I RAN to the exit. The merc free dentist I'm seeing tho actually 'demands' that you take 2000mgs of vite C daily, he says his patients won't heal right w/o that, and he thinks any more than that is a waste (gotta remember he's seeing this through dental eyes and is clueless about cfs). The only thing they did rec. after merc removal tho is activated charcoal for a little while, which I will do. I agree, sad that none of our Drs are learning about all this at the rate that we are, because they aren't able to help us! Prob is they don't have as much time to set around reading the net for ever new scrap of info on one illness when many of them have to treat so many different illnesses and even cfs drs have to treat patients that respond differently to things, one will feel better, one have a horrible reaction to same thing. Its hard for all involved I think. Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Where have you been reading about these horror stories? What publications are these stories in? This topic is near and dear to my heart and I read everything about teeth and mercury removal that I can find and I haven't come across any of what you described. I have read some horror stories from people who have had too too much of the jaw bone removed with a jaw bone infections. The www.iaomt.com are well versed in mercury removal and can refer you to a dentist in your area.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 , thanks so much for this response! Did you get the composite fillings that match the color of your teeth?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Folks in my lyme group almost unanimously report getting worse after filling removal. Better to get the teeth pulled, I guess, if you can spare them. This even after going to specialists who were very careful. You have to look at what makes YOU sensitive to the mercury when others have it with less problems. Is there some candida/parasite/bacterial load that keeps your body from detoxing or makes it super sensitive? Lymies who got better (from lyme), stopped having mercury issues without getting it removed. All those things can be contributed to by careless eating leading to lessening of the body's ability to detox/fight pathogens. The gov't has admitted to weaponizing some that are hard to detect. If you read " Lab 257 " you'll see how careless they've gotten with their biowarfare labs. Oops! getting on my soapbox now... > > I'm frankly scared to death to mess with removing them.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I only had 3 amalgams to replace; I had them replaced by composite as they broke. I had an expeience last year that convinced me of the problems metals can cause. In late 2004 I overdosed " on bentonite clay. Later I found out that it contains Al. Over the next several months I underwent severe mental and emotional changes for the worse in addition to rapid physical deterioration. When I resumed chelation (taking " Oral Chelation " ) I would see instant improvement the next day. If you want to learn more about the damge the metals do a search for Boyd Haley, PhD chariman of the chemistry dept at University of Kentucky is recognized an expert of the amalgams. My understanding is that they create oxidative stress, shift intracellular pH to the acidic side and are endocrine disruptors. BTW I am being treated for lyme, babesia,erlichia and bartonella. One of my lyme docs mentioned that Dr Horowitz http://www.newtownbee.com/Features.asp?s=Features-2004-05-06-12-40-30p1.htm *believes that metals are part of the picture for chronic lyme. I fail to see how keeping that garbage in your body is beneficial. For the EPA to have such strict guidelines for dentists disposing of the junk and yet the FDA ignores the whole issue.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I had 5 removed in 2 visits, using a dam and air suction. THe first time I got a bad case of red eye in one eye a couple days later, Never had that in my life. May have been a particle flying into my eye. One tooth now is very sensitive to hot, cold, pressure as it was close to the nerve. I thought they could put in a shield. He didn't. THe next time I held my breath while he was grinding as long as I could, and kept my eyes closed. I think it is helping slowly. The composites are turning gray on the big ones, like there is mercury leaching into them from the bone or something. Blaylock's book on Health and Nutrition Secrets really goes into this and mercury in general very well, also MSG, aspartame, etc. Chewing, heat both release mercury vapor. It can travel up the nerves to the brain. He is a neurosurgeon and really backs it up with research from around the world. THere are other factors besides mercury but mercury is probably the worst. He gives various things you can take to get rid of mercury, but aged garlic is the safest, albeit slow. He doesn't mention cilantro. Goes into chelation etc. very well also. See reviews on Amazon. Not at least I can chew in peace. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been eating 2-4 cloves of fresh organic garlic a day (minced, with meals) and was just wondering if there was a reason besides the whole smell issue to use aged garlic.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I am planning to have mine removed at the end of the month as a precautionary measure that could contribute to my digestive challenges. The reasons why to have them removed were pretty evident to me as I discussed it with the dentist. I'm surprised that more of the experiences talked about here have not addressed this. As I understand, the body has a certain 'allergic' reaction to some types of substances vs. others. This was done on me with a simple test. You hold a nickel in the left hand while the right arm is held to the side. For me, without the nickel there was strength in shoulder and without, there was nearly as much. Well, I could barely hold my arm up no matter how hard I tried. This test was done with several other substance as well and is used by the denist to determine which materials my body will do better with. The clincher is when I did this test by putting my index finger directly on a filling. I couldn't hold my arm up then either so, that to me indicates it's not the best thing to have in my mouth. I know it sounds a bit far-fetched because there is seems to be no other scientific basis for this happening. Actually there is also a test that can be run to determine the findings, but it runs in the $300 range while what the other was free. No question there.. Is anyone else familiar with this? > > I fail to see how keeping that garbage in your body is beneficial.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Correction: I meant to say there WASN'T nearly as much strength in the shoulder. The denist applied downward pressure as the different material were held in the other hand... You hold a nickel in the left hand while the right arm is held > to the side.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Good luck ! I just had 3 more removed, leaving my whole left side of my mouth mercury free, meaning 6/10 of my fillings are replaced. The last four are coming out soon too. I don't feel any worse after having them removed, and I'm hoping it will help my digestive issues as well. my lower abdomen always feel bloated and I don't feel like very eating much. From what I read I could have candida issues because I do eat a lot of carbs (though properly prepared and I haven't eaten any gluten in a while) but I have more energy than I know what to do with sometimes (I only eat twice a day too with no snacks!). I might try going low carb for a few days just to see how it feels though. I think I may just have some nasty mercury resistant bacteria in my lower gut. - > > > > > I fail to see how keeping that garbage in your body is beneficial. > For the EPA to have such strict guidelines for dentists disposing of > the junk and yet the FDA ignores the whole issue. > > > > Phil > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food?Bacteria?Metals?I'm getting bloating now and have never had it before so I'm trying to figure this thing out. I wish I knew! Mercury is known to adversely affect the flora and can allow some nasty mercury resistant bacteria to live in your gut, which is what I always thought it was. My digestion also hasn't been right for a while, which I'm pretty sure is because of the mercury, though I have been absorbing enough nutrition for my immune system to be strong, as I haven't gotten sick for like 14 months. I have been eating plenty of probiotic foods and lots of turmeric with my meals (helps with flora also) but I always feel bloated really low in my abdomen and get some seriously stinky bouts of gas sometimes! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 , Could you please explain this in a bit more detail? I cannot understand the procedure for this " test " ? Would like to try it, but don't quite understand? Thanks, Dean _____ As I understand, the body has a certain 'allergic' reaction to some types of substances vs. others.

I will have to do some shopping before I go completely no grains/legumes but I will cut back for now. This all started after eating vegetarian for like 6 months, it really messed up my digestive system and exacerbated my mercury problem cause of the low protein. I bet it was that damn ultra-pasteurized milk and organic extruded cereals. I used to be able to eat anything with impunity before that. - > _____ > > > I wish I knew!
