Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 With all due respect to 's experience, there is plenty of research showing that mercury from amalgam fillings IS harmful. Don't expect the ADA to give you the straight shot on this. Read the book " It's All in Your Head " for the entire scoop. aa Topmom7698@... wrote: > , i worked in the dental field for nearly 15 years and once the mercury > is mixxed with the silver alloy it sposes no threat. you would have to > swallow it un mixxed to have any reaction. the reaction usually is > hyperactivity. > > julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 actually i have read many books on this issue and did a research paper on the very issue. the older fillings which didn't come in a pre measured capsule were the ones that were found to cause problems and mostly hyperactivity issues but we're talking about almost 25 yrs ago. but if the dentist you are using is up to date and the merc. is contained in capsules and amalgamated then the issue shouldn't be there, it becomes inert when mixxed. there are other things in a dental office that pose more of a threat than that. acids etc. think of the things we use in everyday life. It is very rare that anything like this would cause a problem. you have every right to be mad. but loook at other things anesthetics accompanied by medical problems such as high blood pressure can bring on seizures. I too looked so deep into everything that was given to my son but it doesn't help now does it. we need to look for answers for a cure. julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 I had my amalgams out about 7 or so years ago. The recommended method for removal and detoxification is the one Hal Huggins initiated. I can't say for sure what benefits I've had from this procedure, but I don't regret doing. I do know that as my dentist removed and replace my amalgams quadrant by quadrant that I would cry inconsolably for hours afterward. I also felt some joint pain. I had a total of 36 fillings removed since many teeth had multiple sites filled. The cost for me was around $6,000 (not covered by insurance). I hope this helps. Ann mercury fillings I have made an appointment with my dentist to see if I have mercury fillings. (I most likely do, I have been getting tons of dental work since I was seven years old.) When I was in my dentists office a year ago, I read a posting he put up about mercury fillings NOT being problematic. I am not inclined to believe him, but get the feeling I may need to see another dentist if I want to get some support. I also am doubting my insurance is going to cover replacing fillings. My question is this: has anyone gone through the process and have any indication of how much this type of thing may cost and how long it takes to get them all done? Is there only one alternative material or is there a recommended one?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Siuan, Recently I spoke with my dentist about mercury fillings, during a recent appt. He was very considerate of my concern. He had a patient, at one time, who was having problems with tiredness and joint pain. They traced through her life to see what had changed; stress, diet, ....they noticed she recently had fillings. My dentist, who was treating her, decided to have her fillings removed. He sent her to a dentist that had done mercury removal before. Within weeks, her symptoms improved and her former lifestyle improved. My dentist felt she had a reaction to the fillings. My dentist also suggested to me that if I thought my fillings were the problem, which he thought the thyroid illness would have been more immediate after getting the fillings and not 15 years later, I would need to commit to a lifestyle change. Such as, not eating tuna, certain batteries in my watch and such. He is willing to remove my fillings, which I only have two, but he did say it had to be done with much care.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 , I am going through the process right now and it is not cheap; my fillings and two crowns at $4,000. I have 17 fillings from a dentist that was not a good guy and over did me I think... Here is a phone number to the dentist I am using and even though he is not in your area his staff is helpful and can give you the address of the business in Denver that does the blood test to see if you react to mercury and if you do react, they send a list of dental materials that you could have in your mouth. Just because the material is not mercury does not mean you won't react to it. It is the antibodies in your blood stream that attack, immune system problem. I am also allergic to later gloves too! The number is 404-239-9566 her in Atlanta. Godd Luck, Sheri Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Deb, everyone who responded, Thanks for the info. I will talk to my dentist when I see him. I am sure I have A LOT of fillings. I grew up in Ireland, and I don't think there was fluoride in the water then. I have been getting dental work done regularly since I was seven because my teeth decay SO fast.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Thanks for sharing Donna! This info came from my son who is finding himself ever more troubled with allergies which began soon after his first dental filling at age 11. He is now 29, and is troubled with increasing fatigue and asthma symptoms, in spite of a very healthy lifestyle which includes eating only certified organic foods and no meat. His girlfriend had her first mercury filling at age 19. She received 8 fillings from age 19 to 21. Two years later, she now has high grade malignant sarcoma, and her prognosis is poor. Perhaps, with the growing number of other pollutants around us, the mercury fillings are having a devastating effect which may not have taken place 50 years ago when pollution wasn't so bad. I advised my son to have the thyroid antibody test. He is going to have his fillings replaced. If his thyroid is failing, he will probably want to try the thyrodine program also. Interestingly, I went to the dentist for a bridge replacement on Tuesday, and my basal temp has been increasing ever since. My neck and throat are hurting again, after a long period of feeling very well. This must be a flareup of thyroiditis...directly linked to the dentist! The evidence is all too clear. Good luck with your family dear--yet those who haven't been afflicted seem to be little interested in this subject. It has to happen to them before they sit up and take notice...yes, I was one of " them " too! :-) Sharon >Thanks...It's funny, I forwarded some previous pages of that sight to >someone in my " bowel cleanse " group (mercury is a hot topic there as well) >without realizing that they had a petition...I am going to share your post >with them, if that's OK? >I am taking the petition to a family gathering today...everyone thought I >was wacky 2 years ago when I said a tooth that broke caused mercury >poisoning that triggered my CFS...what will they think now!!!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Dear Sharon: I too wish to thank for sharing the stories of your son and his friend. I would like to copy your data and send it to my dentist. He's an amazing technician, but still puts amalgam into peoples teeth. Once your son has had his amalgam removed and has taken DMPS and lots of chlorella, maybe after a couple of months he should begin to take his underarm temperature before arising in the morning. If he is consistently below 38 degrees, then you may suspect a thyroid dysfunction. Blood tests are not particularly accurate. He may also wish to check our symptom list on www.thyrodine.com Best wishes, Earl Re: Mercury Fillings Thanks for sharing Donna!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi Jaunita, it's not necessary to have your filling removed in order to heal. No specific metal cleanse is necessary because Bee's diet helps to chelate out mercury from the body. This subject has been discussed quite a few times over the last week to two weeks. You can go to the group's website and use the message search to find recent posts. jackie > > Has anyone had mercury filling removal?

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 yep I had mine done years ago. I struggled with candida anyway but I reckon that is because my body was still laden with heavy metals and I have other immune problems also. I think it helped over time but it takes time and Bee's diet will aid you along the way. I think it might be a pretty good move to get them taken out gradually by a competent holistic or biologic dentist because it's an ongong source of mercury that maybe building up in your tissues and burdening yours kidneys etc. If you have it bad enough it can near ruin your life. Just make sure if you do decide to remove them, you get protection during removal and take it slow. I believe in this diet and I believe also the chlorophyll recommended is an extra boost for metal elimination but also because it aids the body to heal itself. Some choose to go further and get on a chelation protocol. That will up to you. I know a good replacement material that seems to suit a number of people I know that got their amalgams out. It's expensive though but it lasts for many many years (up to about 20 years or so), tends to be better tolerated and is less likely to leach out its components. Cerec porcelain is the name in case you're interested. Again make sure the dentist is well experienced in using cerec if you want to get it. The guy who runs the US serum test lab says so far hes not seen anybody react badly to cerec on the lab testing. Though there is no real guarantees obviously, but it seems a pretty good overall bet. The general rule is go slow, go to a reputable dentist, dont get too many done at onetime and support your body continually.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks Adam, That's all very helpful. Did you notice a difference after you had them taken out? Did you use any chelation protocol? I have about 8 fillings and got my first one when I was about 7 years old so I will need to take it real slow, maybe have a couple removed at one time. I'm in Canberra, so if by some strange chance someone here has also had this done by a good dentist please let me know!!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Cara, no problem. Feel free to email me if you wish. I can tell you at more length if you want. But what I can say is that yes I did get better after amalgam removal but the process of reaching that stage was NOT easy and was not quick and there was a lot of suffering to go through as the body tries to dump the storage of mercury from your tissues and organs. Long story! Improvements were great once that stage ended but my immune system got buggered up by other problems later on (outside of mercury). So now I suffer ongoing yeast problems and other problems. Yep I did use chelation protocols, many of them. ONe suited me more than the others, more effective and safer. I was not on Bee's diet then, wished I had been along with the supplement suggestions. I believe that this is the foundation of it all because it is all about the body healing itself. You are taking a good step, but a risky one because this stuff is volatile and moreso when its been stirred up during removal. Plus your body will still need to eliminate the storage....but getting a couple done at a time is probably a wise move. I'd advise you avoid seafood foods/products completely unless the product is certified mercury free. Bee has plenty of highly recommended brands in respect to fish oils. Go easy on hot fluids because heat increases the release of vapors from amalgam. Adam. > Thanks Adam, > That's all very helpful. Did you notice a difference after you had them taken > out?

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks, I actually watched this yesterday. It's quite an eye opener. Scary to think that I have more than 8 fillings and have had them since age 7 or 8. The question however is not whether the fillings need removing, I believe they do, but when should I do it. I did a little bit more research and came across the following info which I also read somewhere else a couple of days ago. It make sense, I want my body to be in a better state than it is now before I go dumping more mecury into it. So when I get my mineral levels up to normal (and save some money) I will start to get the fillings removed. http://www.candida-society.org.uk/ The body will not give up mercury if it is deficient in any mineral, so address that in advance of treatment. After the fillings have been changed, the mercury has to be removed from the blood and then from receptor sites. There are various protocols for doing this - we can put members in touch with the Mercury Amalgams Helpline. --- Karaka <karaka@...> wrote: > If you still have " silver " fillings and believe they are safe, you will > change your mind after > watching this eye-opening video. <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/1252.aspx> > > > ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ 7 Mail has just got even bigger and better with unlimited storage on all webmail accounts. http://au.docs./mail/unlimitedstorage.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yes, Drs have a protocol for removing dental amalgams and as you say,the removal isn't done all at once, rather a quadrant at a time. Even then, there is a process which holistic dentists will employ, so as to lessen the risk. This includes supplementation with selenium, among other things. Good luck. ;o) > > > If you still have " silver " fillings and believe they are safe, you will > > change your mind after > > watching this eye-opening video. <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/1252.aspx> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
