Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hi Andy if I grind my teeth, particularily the tooth with the only filling, would that cause more vapor to be released? I have been having severe neck problems for over 2 years. My MD says its a nerve in my neck and wants to disconnect it - forget that. He gives me all sorts of " free " muscle relaxants and painkillers but I dont like how they make me feel nor do they really do much for the problem. My chiropractor thinks its a repetitive motion I do with my right arm in my work and he uses Active Release technique which does seem to help for about a week or two. I myself thought it was related to either sitting at the PC or a reptitive task I do in my work (everything is on the right side). At times Ive felt like a pocket of fluid the size of a grapefruit has grown in the base of my neck/head. My tooth, neck, ear and jaw hurt really bad at times. I originally went to the MD because I thought it was an ear infection. He told me that the base of my neck on the right side was slightly swollen and suspected a problem with a pinched nerve or muscle. It does seem correlated with stress and when Im stressed I do tend to grind my teeth. I realize that alone can cause problems but it is only recently that Ive noticed the area that hurts the most is also the area with the only silver filling. I am going to see a DDS who is on the list refered to in the FAQ. Any thoughts on this or questions I should ask the DDS? Your help most appreciated.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hello , > Hi Andy I am not Andy > if I grind my teeth, particularily the tooth with the only filling, would that > cause more vapor to be released? quite possible. I have read some stuff (studies and references to studies) in this area that is pretty wild/unsettling. Such as, study of people who chew gum a lot and have more mercury released. Ug. Tooth grinding, getting teeth cleaned, and other things like this also apparently matter. > I am going to see a DDS who is on the list refered to in the FAQ. oops. I really should change the FAQ, since there are many more dentist references here: /files/HOW_TO_find_doctor > " life is not a matter of holding good cards, it's playing a poor hand well " RLS I like this quote! best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 After asking my question a couple of weeks ago about whether a filling necessarily included mercury (the answer was 'If it's silver, it has mercury, however, the blacker it is, the less mercury it still has), I check my filling and used my fingernail to see if it was sticking out, etc (not very invasive, just a look-see). Ever since then, my lower jaw, gum, and surrounding area have been sore. I've notice this happening in the past and I suppose I ate something that stirred it up. I also have horrendous TMJ on that same side...locks open, hurts, pops. I'm also a clincher when I have sinus problems or stress. That doesn't help either. I sympathize with your neck pain. I have something similar. Tonya Dillingham Mothersheart1996@...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 I'm not Andy, but am a jaw-clencher/tooth grinder! We have quite a few family members with bruxism. I just had all metal out of my mouth, so am anxious to see improvements. It dawned on me somewhere a while ago, that as long as I had metals in my mouth, it was going to cause galvanism and problems with body electricity and nervous systems. I have TMJ, and the top jaw and bottom jaw are mis-aligned and pivot wrong. Chewing is difficult, and I've had headaches and shoulder/back stress for many years. I kept going to the Chiropractor to get realigned. I also went to a Cranial Sacral therapist, and that helped greatly. But, it kept going back to misalignment. I think the metal is key, here. Maybe some of this rings a bell with you? Now that I have the metal out of my teeth, I feel like mercury or something is trying to move out of my jaw.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 ,Not Andy but...Yes, chewing, bruxism, brushing, cleaning, polishing, drinking, temperature changes, having both mercury and gold in the mouth all cause more mercury release. S if I grind my teeth, particularily the tooth with the only filling, would that cause more vapor to be releasedThanks -- " life is not a matter of holding good cards, it's playing a poor hand well " RLS ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ ======================================================= Statements posted on this list are for information only, and should NOT be taken as medical advice.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Getting the mercury amalgam out is only half the problem. Getting the Hg out of your system is the real key. The best mercury detox agent I have found yet is PCA-Rx. Add their product NG-3.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 I'm not Andy either but Steve was never a jaw clencher or tooth grinder until he had six LARGE amalgams replaced with more amalgams. Then within a month of that he started complaining of his bite being off. That's when the orthodontist told him he was grinding his teeth and clenching his jaw. Like you Judy, his top and bottom jaws won't line up and pivot wrong. Ditto on the shoulder/upper back problems as well. It was also about 6-12 months after this he was diagnosed as having Parkinson's. The tremors showed up within 2 months of having the amalgams redone. Coincidence, we think not.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 1. Grinding makes more mercury come out. 2. MD's hate chiropractors and osteopaths, and since this is a chiropractic or osteopathic problem the way you describe it of course the MD has no good options. 3. Take lots of magnesium. It is a muscle relaxant that makes you feel better. 4. If the DC adjustment only holds a week, find a DO (one who does manipulation, a lot of them don't) and see if osteopathic adjustment holds longer. 5. Figure out how to rearrange things at work so as to do more of it with your left hand. Most workplaces are reasonably cooperative. if they aren't, then try doing exercises with the left arm only to counterbalance it. 6. Don't be surprised if the dentist ends up fixing it. My experience is that a lot of wierd problems noobody else can keep under control go away once the mercury does.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 > The half life of mercury in the body is 50 years. This is factually incorrect. It averages 77 days in the body, and 16-25 years in the brain. Possibly longer in the brain. >This is very nasty stuff. Yup. > After a lot of homework, try www.maxamlabs.com. > Their products PCA-RX and NG-3 are the best I have found for Mercury Detox > and neurotransmitter repair. I'd be surprised if they chelate anything other than money out of your bank account. Andy . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
