Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi , one of my doctors has asked me for any specific medical sources/references that relate to or explain about the danger of using ALA by someone who has mercury amalgam dental filings. Would appreciate any source that you may have. Your email makes a lot of sense to me.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 And what does this doc say the purpose of taking the ALA is? My guess is he or she will also prescribe it on a dangerously high, infrequent dosing schedule. ALA is a chelator of mercury whether the doc recognizes it as such or not and whether or not the label on the bottle calls it an antioxidant or a chelation agent. Mercury amalgam dental fillings contain mercury. Try checking the FAQs of this list and Andy Cutler's book Amalgam Illness. Common sense dictates that one would not take it with fillings in place.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I have been wondering about this - if you are NOT on the spectrum , and , theoretically, can detoxify in an efficient way, would ALA still pose a hazard if you have amalgam fillings? Or would any mercury released from them be handled by your system? > <p>Hi , one of my doctors has asked me for any specific medical <br> > sources/references that relate to or explain about the danger of using ALA <br> > by someone who has mercury amalgam dental filings.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Still a hazard. Having them removed is considered recent exposure. Your body needs three months to deal with that new exposure and excrete some of it. However, none of us excretes it all or we would not be here. Your body can only handle so much of it at once, then rest gets stored. If you use ala you risk carrying some of it into your brain versus out. I too am anxious to use it but I am waiting the three months, I just can't afford to get worse. You can however use AlA to mop up some of the mercury in your body in the meantime. Many people have tried to chelate too soon or with too many products and get sicker. > > <p>Hi , one of my doctors has asked me for any > specific medical <br> > > sources/references that relate to or explain about the danger of > using ALA <br> > > by someone who has mercury amalgam dental filings.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 , are you asking if it is safe to use ALA when you have amalgams? It is very unsafe. People who do this run a real risk of poisoning themselves. Unfortunately, ALA's properties as a potent mercury chelator that crosses the blood brain barrier are not well known, so a lot of people who think it is a harmless antioxidant are slowly but surely putting a lot of mercury into their brains. My understanding is that generally the ability to detox efficiently declines as one becomes more toxic - a vicious circle.

If you took ALA with amalgams you could very well end up on the spectrum, because the Hg from the fillings could end up in your brain.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 My dad got very sick taking ala with a mouth full of fillings. I had no idea he was using it until he mentioned that he had tried ala for the antioxidant properties, as he thought taking antioxidants might help. But he got violently sick and had to stop using it. He didn't know why it caused that reaction until I explained it and told him not to use it. My mother who only has three fillings was also taking it at that time and stopped becuase she too was sick. -- In , " jromkema " <jromkema@...> wrote: > > Yes, it is a hazard for you. > > Barb > [ ] Re: AlLA AND MERCURY AMALGAM DENTAL FILlINGS QUESTION > > > I have been wondering about this - if you are NOT on the spectrum , > and , theoretically, can detoxify in an efficient way, would ALA > still pose a hazard if you have amalgam fillings?
