Are they? I didn't realize that. I know that the composite

fillings cost more -- was not aware that this group of dentists

charges more?

Mine didn't have a supplement protocol as far as I recall.

He just did the fillings, and recommended a doctor for

chelation (who I did not end up going to).

mine used a rubber damn and some sort of a suction device (an

assistant stood there the whole time, suctioning). Andy also

recommends separate oxygen, I think, but I didn't have that.

I don't know what is needed. If you want to read a bunch of

protocols, you can find several here:

Look in the section about " dentists " . This is probably a good

way to find out ALL the various ideas and devices and whatnot.

I doubt all of them are equally " necessary " though.

I went to a dentist who did not use precautions. A week after my last three

fillings were removed, I ended up in the ER with my first migraine. A CT

scan showed a brand new 8mm pineal cyst (not there on an MRI I had done

months earlier), and a lumbar puncture showed elevated CSF protein levels.

Also, I had a panoramic xray done recently and there is still some amalgam

underneath my composite. The dentist did not remove ALL the mercury.
