Re: using DMSA with amalgam in mouth

[Guest guest]

The DMSA doesn't cross the BBB but the mercury you " liberate " from your fillings

with it can and does. The DMSA can " liberate " more than it can escort out at a

time so some ogf the free-floating mercury resettles. If the garbage stinks do

you take the garbage out by the bag if you can or do you move it from one place

in the house to another piece by piece for a while first?

Mercury from your fillings has direct access to the brain, lungs (breathing) and

digest system (eating and drinking) even if you're not chelating.

If DMSA doesn't cross the blood brain barrier........then why is it harmful <BR>

to take when you have amalgam in your mouth?<BR>

<BR>

If it causes mercury to be released from your teeth., then wouldn't the DMSA

<BR>

bind with that mercury just as easily as it is binding with the other mercury

<BR>

in your body?<BR>

<BR>

Why is mercury in the teeth any worse than mercury in the body tissues and <BR>

wouldn't DMSA bind to mercury anywhere in the body it finds it and pull it

out?<BR>

<BR>

What am I missing here?<BR>

thank you , that is an answer that makes sense. In theory, it would

never be possible to take enough DMSA to escort out the mercury it liberates as

the more DMSA , the more mercury released........a catch 22.

I was asking because my doctor thinks my mercury is too high to remove my

amalgams as she's worried my body won't be able to take the slam as I'm in poor

condition. She really is pushing me to take DMSA to lower my body load before

removing my amalgams. I am resisting....and thought I had her on my

team.....but now that I'm nearing the appt for removal....she brings up wanting

me to

try the DMSA for awhile to lower body burden first. She swears others have

done well by following that protocol.

I'm in a catch 22

What supplements and enzymes in particular? My dentist is supposedly one of

the best holistic dentist around. Dr. Glaros....anyone use him

before?

* Helps if you've started supplements and enzymes before removal. Make sure the

dentist is mercury-free (if they still put it in, they don't understand how or

why to take it out properly). Find out all about the dentist's protocol and

safety measures before the actual appt for removal. Does he or she use

supplemental oxygen? rubber dam? suction? Have the fillings removed quadrant by

quadrant with the highest negative first and remeasure before each quadrant

because it changes. Do not have any gold put in (if you're going to) while you

still have mercury in the mouth. Have the dentist x-ray after removal from each

quadrant before replacement to make sure he or she got ALL the mercury out.

These things should help reduce the " slam " as the doctor calls it.

At the worst of my mercury poisoning I had undiagnosed chronic fatigue (dragged

myself home from work and tried to decide if I had the energy to wash my hair

before crawling into bed), was on the verge of losing my job, lost the ability

to spell and concentrate, had rapidly failing eyesight, etc. I weighed 82 lbs

(adult, 5'6 " , not anorexic) a month before removal but with plant enzymes got

back up to 100 lbs.

I had 17 large fillings removed quadrant by quadrant over a week's time (better

to space it out, but I had gone from OK to WI to a dentist I knew would do it

properly).

I heard of him after I had mine out. Must be in Houston area? I lived in San

Felipe and Sealy, worked in San Felipe and hire, voluteered with an

autistic child (son of Gaylen who sometimes writes on this list) in SonRise

program in Houston a number of years ago.

Vitamin C (some say not to take C the day of dental work because it may

interfere with anesthesia, others say it doesn't), vit A (not as carotenes), B

complex, probiotics, zinc, EFAs. Best to add supplements one at a time so you

can tell which if you have probelms with any of them. Andy has a more thorough

list in the file and recommends spreading them out throughout the day, i.e.

taking vit C 4x/day. I've taken a variety of different enzymes. The ones I

took between diagnosis and removal were prescribed by the

nutritionist/chiropractor, don't remember the brand name. HFS carry ones made

of pineapple (bromelain) and papaya (papain). My primary reasons for going in

to Houston when I lived in TX was to go to volunteer and to HFS, usually went to

the one (Wild Oats or Whole Foods?) on Shepherd, occasionally another location.

Epsom salt baths and rebounding (bouncing on a minitramp) may also be helpful.
