Was it OK to chelate before they were removed? What effects did you see?<< The spacer bar and the braces were all out when we began chelating Dec 2001. Interestingly, she has a removable metal and plastic retainer on the top that has two 'false teeth' attached that she seems to keep out of her mouth much of the time at home. She does not wear a bottom retainer and her teeth have reverted to being a bit crooked. Better crooked teeth than fried brain! As I mentioned, I was totally clueless about the metal issues when she had this work done. She is 18 now. The first hair elements testing that she had done in 10/2001 showed nickel at 1.5ug/g(norm<.4). By June 2002 that value had fallen to .49ug/g. Feb 2003 the same test showed .29ug/g. She needs the current retainer for cosmetic reasons. My preference would be no metal. We have delayed making a decision on permanent implants for this reason and probably won't do anything for quite some time. I really don't know about chelating with the metal in. This same child had a nasty and DIRTY mouth injury; broken upper jaw, lost two teeth, lots of bruises, much dirt/ small rocks in open mouth wounds, 4.5 years ago. I did not know the mercury connection then BUT also did not authorize a booster as her previous immunizations had been too difficult for her. It was just a 'gut' response for me and a really hard decision at the time. Today, I would not think twice about refusing the boosters(or the initial series for that matter!) Thankfully, she had only a minimum set of immunizations by today's standard. All were late or incomplete due to her response and my reluctance. B.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Lu, Our daughter's first urine testing had large amounts of nickel and chromium. She had worn a stainless steel spacer bar for several years and was in braces, also stainless steel. When the orthodontist looked up the composition of the stainless steel, he found 9-10% nickel and 19-20% chromium. I don't consider this a coincidence. We took the braces off. These 2 elements normalized with chelation. Is repairing with a relatively inert composite not an option? >From: " quinsmum " <doyouhavebob@...> >Date: Tue Apr 5, 2005 10:20 am >Subject: Stainless Steel and Sedation quinsmum Need opinions...my 4 year old son has yet another really bad cavity and 2 more cavities growing. I have had one tooth removed and now have no choice but to have him sedated and the cavities fixed (currently has no mercury fillings and will not be getting any). The dentist is proposing to cover the teeth with a stainless steel cap. I need advice on stainless steel caps (the do's and don'ts)and what is the safest form of sedation (my son does have a reaction to sulfa based drugs, if that makes a difference). Please any opinions or first hand experience on the what to do what not to do!! Thanks, Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 If you look in the archives, I believe one of the doctors on this list recently recommended gold caps over stainless steel.
