Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi , I'm sorry that you are having to cope with CLL. I'm interested in your statement about elevated levels of mercury and lead. Is that associated with developing CLL? I can understand how heavy metals in the body could disrupt the healthy functioning of cells. I have very elevated levels of mercury according to medical testing - and high levels of lead. It was determined that the mercury came from having many amalgams in my teeth for years as well as having poor detoxing ability of the liver. I've now had all dental amalgams replaced and will be starting on a mercury & lead detoxing program. I would appreciate knowing what kind of detox protocol you are following. Also, are you doing anything to support and improve liver function. It seems as important to detox and cleanse all that might be damaging our bodies and blocking normal functioning as it is to ingest healing foods, herbs and supplements. [To & other parents of young children, based on many studies over several years, it seems best to avoid having dental amalgams put into your children's teeth. They have mercury and other damaging metals in them that may cause problems for some people. Composites or porcelain can be used instead. You'll find a great deal of information if you do a web search.] wrote: > We're in the same boat. I was diagnosed two years ago at 41 with the same thing. You may want to have your levels of heavy metals tested with a provoked urine test. I was found to be literally off the charts poisoned with mercury and severely elevated with lead.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Dear and : Like you, my mercury levels are speculated as being caused by many amalgam fillings - 13. I too have had them removed by a holistic dentist. This is very important as one can become sicker if precautions aren't followed during the removal. You're right that the amalgams contain a high mercury content, about 50%, which is higher than any other component of the filling. It's what gives it its silver coloring. I think the lead came from sanding and stripping paint off and old house I used to own. I too had poor liver functioning. It was explained that the body is smart enough to not keep circulating toxins it cannot remove and will store them somewhere in the body. Hal Huggins is a pioneering dentist who believes that leukemia is caused by mercury. He posits that a very healthy immune system recognizes the mercury as a threat and attacks it with WBCs. When this fails it produces more WBCs and so on until it exhausts itself and collapses. Regardles of whether one believes this statement, removing mercury, the most toxic non-radiocative metal from one's body is a real plus. To improve liver function I was on msm (sulphur) and I think potassium. These are crucial in several of the liver's pathways for elimination. Incidentally, mercury gobbles up sulphur and drives the body towards an acidic state which turns normal cells into anaerobic cells/cancer. I've also changed my diet. No sugar, more fruit and vegetables, etc. I also have a FIR sauna. Sauna therapy has been used successfully in the past by cinnabar miners in Spain poisoned by mercury. Sweating turns out to be a fantastic method for detoxing all types of toxins. The skin has been referred to as the third kidney. It seems to me that modern society has unwittingly done almost everything possible to guarantee huge rates of cancer by poisoning the air and water, devitalizing foods, promoting the SAD diet, implanting heavy metals in the teeth, root canals, over consumption of anti-biotics, radiation, reductions in exercise and no sweating with AC everywhere. Lastly, one can have a reactivity test done on alternative fillings for the teeth to determine which materials react least for a given individual. Sincerely, > > We're in the same boat.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 So would a healthy person need to have amalgam fillings removed? I was reading in Dr. s book where she recommended removing them if you have cancer. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to have them removed anyway. Are the tooth colored fillings okay? Also, are root canals okay? From: ptm222 Sent: 8/19/2005 8:58:13 PM Dear and : Like you, my mercury levels are speculated as being caused by many amalgam fillings - 13.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 : Remember, if you have mercury amalgam fillings removed you must go to a dentist that uses methods to protect you from the mercury released as the high speed drill hits it. This includes oxygen, dental dam, suction and activated charcoal. It would be advisable to remove them slowly not all at once. Root canals are thought to be very challenging to the body as the canals can never be completely filled up with the gutta percha. The pockets not filled become home to anaerobic bacteria and their waste is very toxic. For more information on this you can read Dr. Weston Price's work.
