does gold fillings have mercury?

[Guest guest]

A friend's severely autistic son is about to get a crown. I reminded

her to get non-mercury fillings, she asked about gold, that's what

the dentist wanted to do. Dentist said gold will hold up better

against his teeth grinding. Any ideas?

TIA,

Make sure that all of the old " silver " filling is completely removed,

before placing the crown, and that there are NO silver fillings adjacent

to the crown or will be in contact with it when the upper and lower jaw

are in chewing function....if any of this occurs, it will not only set

up an disasterous electrical current, but the gold crown will draw

mercury into it from any filling it touchs....all very detrimental with

long term consequences.

Dolphi,

did I understand correctly that if you have an amalgam filling under a crown

and want to remove it, you need to get rid of the crown too because it has

accumulated mercury from the filling?

Most use of " gold " is for crowns and historically " gold crowns " were placed over

an amalgam base which had mercury. And metal crowns over amalgam is much worse

than just an amalgam filling, since mixed metals in the mouth result in

galvanic currents that can be measured with a Radio Shack ampmeter and which are

known to pump the mercury and metals into the body at high levels, even more

than fillings. This often results in accumulation of metals in the gums at the

base of the tooth that can be easily seen in the mirrow as a blue/grey film and

is called an amalgam tattoo. It seems most dentists don't understand such

since it is contrary to their dogmatic(non-science) training even though they

see them in the mouth commonly. Many believe what they are told rather than

what they see unfortunately, and don't bother to look in

Medline(www.nlm.nih.gov) themselves though its available free to everyone.

But " gold " crowns or gold fillings aren't really gold, but rather are gold

allows. And you have to be very careful which metals are used in the allow, as

the most commonly used like nickel and palladium are extremely toxic and also

carcinogenic, as well as being extremely immune reactive.

Its possible to test for biocompatiblity of dental materials using blood

immune reactivity tests like Clifford Lab or Peak Lab

(see their web sites) or MELISA. Over 90% test immune reactive to

metals like mercury or nickel or palladium since they are very toxic and damage

the immune system(which reacts at some level). MELISA is a test that only

measures more serious immune reactivity such as that that causes autoimmune

conditions like MS, rheumetoid arthritis, ALS, lupus, scleraderma, oral lichen

planus, etc. These metals in dental materials often are the main factor in

such autoimmune conditions, and patients recover or improve significantly from

these conditions when that is the cause. See www.melisa.org

You can also use ElectroDermalScreening test for biocompatability testing as a

good option, if you can find a good tester with experience in testing for dental

material biocompatibility. Find info in yellow pages under accupuncture or

alternative medicine or go an equipment manufacturers web site like

www.biomeridian.com and ask for someone in your area.

EDS tests are inexpensive and very useful for other purposes to screen for

health problem causes, allergies, toxic exposures, parasites, viruses, bacterial

infections, inflamations, etc.

Dolphi,

Is there any way to be certain there is no amalgam under a gold crown

before you start chelating??

Thanks,
