Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 From my reading the root may be filled with mercury amalgam, which can get into the jaw. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the root that is metal filled may be a problem? good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Andy says if you have them taken out like you are doing, you should chelate or you will feel worse. With the crowns and root canal, I don't think that is possible. I am wondering if I have them removed over a long period of time and supplement very well when I have it done, if that would be better than doing nothing. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Rae, Taking them out stops the ongoing supply of mercury, BUT then the body starts dumping it out of its storage places in your organs etc., because your blood levels have finally fallen. This is what can build up and make you feel sicker 11 months afterwards, if you don't help your body out by chelating periodically. Gosh, I would think if you have metals in your root canal, they have to come out! My hubby had crowns and his mercury-free dentist just took them off to see if there was amalgam underneath. Most of them were clean, but one wasn't, so he replaced that. He was very careful to try to get the crowns off in one piece, so he could glue them back on.
