RE: Amalgam removal question

May 9, 2004

Perrin,

I had mine done one quadrant at a time. Highest negative out first and

re-measure after each because that affects the readings on the other quadrants.

I had 17 fillings and had them removed over a 3-day period because I was in bad

shape and I had travelled from OK to WI to find a dentist I could trust who

would do it right. I don't recommend having it done that quickly. You may want

to try to find info on the 7-day or 21-day immune system cycle, I don't remember

the details.

I am wondering if it is safer to have all my amalgams removed at

once or one quadrant at a time. If I have them removed one quad at a

time how much time do I wait before doing another quadrant.

Also if I have them removed all at once my dentist is going to use

nitrous oxide, which I thought I had read affects the methinione

transulfuration pathway. Have any of you heard this? Thanks. Perrin

I will try to shed what light I can on this. Removing amalgams can

be done safely when using the IAOMT protocol developed by Hal

Huggins. I think this is what you are refering to with dams, oxygen

etc. Yes, mercury will be released doing this but some of the vapor

is sucked up with all the suction and air filters they use. They

suction under the dam and on top of it. So minimal vapor is released

to you. Versus the regular dentist who uses nothing. So in fact you

will be exposed to some mercury during removal, however nothing like

what you have recieved over the many years you have carried the

fillings or what you recieved during the placement of the fillings.

Mercury fillings create more vapor under heat and friction, this is

the reason cold, slow drilling is used. A dentist properly trained

will actually cut around the filling and pop it out in chuncks. The

regular dentist will grind it away into oblivion. You would rather

they remove it in chuncks so you do not absorb it all. You are given

your own source of filtered air, protective goggles, and your body

is covered with drapping so that it does not get on you. At least

not as much as it would uncovered. So in essence, it really is

necessary to have it properly removed. When people have fillings

removed improperly, they get sicker. Maybe not evident now, but

later on. Pretty much the consensus here is to have them removed by

a dentist specially trained to remove them. YOu can check the IAOMT

web site to find one. Many of us have traveled to another state to

have this done.

If you are nervous about having her do it, trust your instinct. I

had two teeth done by a biological dentist last year who was

supposed to know how to do this. He had some of the protocol in

place but not all. I ended up losing one of the teeth he did, and my

symptoms got worse over the next few months. This past may I

traveled to the next state and had all 13 fillings that were left

removed by a properly trained dentist. I have no regrets! It is hard

enough to get the years of mercury accumulation out of your body.

You really don't want to risk making it worse. Many people have

developed auto immune disorders following an improper removal.

I would suggest reading a book called " It's All In Your Head " by Hal

Huggins, and Amalgam Illness by Andy Cutler. These really explain

what mercury does to you and why it's important to do remove it as

safely as you can. And please no Chlorella. Chlorella can contain

mercury of it's own if not from a tested reliable source. And it

moves mercury in your body and can cause horrible side effects. Some

use it and are ok, but most are not. It made me terribly sick with

only one dose. Also, a properly trained dentist will have the

facility to make those onlays if you need them.

I am not sure that " strengthening your body " to prepare for removal

is enought protection. If it were, none of us would have gotten sick

from our fillings. The exposure would be null and void by our good

health. Mercury is very toxic and destroys cells, enzymes, any

chance at healthy. Yes, supplements and nutrition are vital by

assisting the body with removing mercury, giving it the nutrients

that mercury blocks it from getting to assist with the return of

normal functions. Please do not be fooled by dentist with fancy

equiptment, often they have no clue as to how toxic mercury is, they

just practice cosmetic dentistry and remove them because it is

profitable. I hope this information helps somewhat.

Skip the chlorella.

I think the real key is making sure they don't drill, having an alternate

breathing source, and a rubber dam. You DON " T want him to be spewing mercury

all over the office, or have you breathing inordinate amounts of mercury vapor,

or swallowing a piece of the amalgam (in one case leading to two YEARS of

diarrhea).

My hubby had his six out this way and was fine--but then he's healthy as a horse

and never gets sick.
