Dr. Konrad Werthmann (MD), German doctor that works for Pleomorphic, states that unless you remove amalgam fillings you will never get rid of candidiasis. What do you think about that Bee?

I took chlorella and I was still able to cure my candida. I thought I am living proof that heavy metals is too over emphasized. But it became another hugh money-maker for dentists. One of the things your body does best is chelate out heavy metals if you give it what it needs to do its job. Of course it is ideal to have the fillings removed and replaced with non-toxic fillings. ==>Are you sure the chlorophyll is causing a problem or is it creating healing reactions? Did you ever get hit in the jaw or have major dental surgery, gum scraping, etc.? It is possible that area needs healing too.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 , I've emailed you some info about biological dentistry that you will find helpful. 6 years ago I was so sick and tired all the time and had really bad brain fog. I'd repeatedly get rid of my candida but it kept coming back. After amalgam removal I could think and concentrate better immediately but by then my kidneys and liver were in no condition to chelate and I was allergic to many things. I couldn't tolerate fat or dairy either and had to eat enzymes with every meal. Chlorella is a pretty allergenic substance and around 1 out of 3 people is allergic to it. Cilantro is also a well known chelator but it can redistribute metals and cause further damage. I haven't noticed any candida after removing the metals from my body. The body is very individual and I've met people with mouths full of metal who are very healthy and others who are in wheelchairs. Check your bulk file if you don't see my email. I think and Hotmail have both gone somewhat crazy in their zeal to protect people from so call s*p*a*m to the point where even when some people write me, their emails are returned and not accepted.

I agree with you about chlorella and that's why I recommend Liquid Chlorophyll instead. There are many foods that chelate out heavy metals and good fats from animals and fish are the very best, along with fermented foods, garlic, lemon water, etc. - all of the wonderful foods on my diet. People often misinterpret their intolerance of fats. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hi , everyone, Just a little extra information to add to the mercury fillings database. I was talking to a dentist just a few weeks ago about this very topic and this is what she told me: She admitted that mercury/amalgam fillings are not great, however its the process of either putting them in or taking them out that gives us the greatest exposure to the toxicity of the materials. Over time small particles will come off as you eat, but the severity of any other toxic syptoms that you experience will depend on how deep your fillings go into the tooth (ie, its the internal exposure inside the filling that will have a greater impact). Usually amalgam fillings are quite stable and will last a lifetime, the safer enamel alternatives usually need to be replaced every 10 years or so because they dont last. When I asked if she would ever get amalgam fillings, her rapid response was " no " . Kinda says alot when a dentist refuses to use what so many people already have in their mouths. Another interesting side note is that a technique called " oil pulling " which has been discussed in this group before, where oil (usually unrefined sesame oil) is swished around your mouth for 20 minutes 2-3 times a day and then spat out, can result in peoples amalgam fillings falling out, due to the ability of the oils to bind with the metals. Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic principle, that helps to remove toxins from your system (including parasites and heavy metals). I started oil pulling at the start of the year, and definitely noticed an improvement in my health, in particular my skin and mouth (and also noticed that my skin got worse again when I stopped doing it). It was thru this research of oil pulling tho that I found out about candida and LGS, so now I am instead trying to resolve the origins of the toxins in my body (ie, candida) rather than just trying to keep up with removing the toxins that they cause. Could oil pulling help people deal with the dying off symptoms by helping to remove the toxins that are left behind by the dying candida? There was mention of people in this group who were trying it along with the candida diet, perhaps the people who have tried oil pulling can provide an insight into this being valid or not? I have stopped oil pulling whilst doing Bee's candida diet, as oil pulling can be an intense process of cleaning for the body, like swirling up the debris at the bottom of a calm but dirty swimming pool. But in hindsight, maybe it could be worth while starting again.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I had my filling drilled out. As the result I later had to get the tooth pulled, due to harsh drilling. However, I don't regret it one bit. I've lost the tooth, but I've also lost 24 hour constant heavy metal vapor leeching into my head. Now on the great roll, chelating with Bee's diet.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi Jeanne, It's not true. I've still got amalgam fillings in my mouth and I've cured my candida. Bee recommends that if you decide to remove them you should wait until your immune system is healthier. You should also find a holistic dentist that understands how to remove them safely.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I have others left. My parents do the dentist thing at all growing up. So I didn't have any dental work done until I was like 21. Actually, only 1 tooth cracked with the fillings. That was when I was pregnant with my first, PPD-NOS guy. I told me to come back after the baby, crown. My first tooth actually broke on a dum dum, before any fillings. So only 1 tooth cracked. I must have 6 white ones left.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 , This is not a rumor. My daughter has some of the whie composite fillings. WE go to the pediatric dentist every 6 months. On the last visit, they told me they needed to replace a filling. I inquired as to why and was told, " The white fillings generally need to be replaced every 2-3 years. " Not a rumor, a fact the dentist told me (and they do not push silver fillings because we have metal allergies.) Any filling, silver or white, can leak. I know because I unfortunately have two silver ones in my mouth. One has been leaking for some time, but I am afraid to have it removed because of the release of mercury into my system when it is done. So, there they sit. Supposedly, as is true in my family's case, the silver ones last longer than the white ones (and it has held true, as I have had mine since tenage years). I do advocate for silver fillings at all. I wanted white. If I could afford, I would do gold!

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 The fact is that my daughter has composite fillings and one is leaking. Nothing ti argue with; it is a fact. You are telling me it is not a fact that her composite is leaking? Leaking meaning there is a gap around it where the filling is...not leaking anything into her mouth. I am pretty sure it was done correctly, but my daughter eats candy, gum, etc... and she told us they were not as sturdy as silver. My silver is leaking, meaning there is a gap where decay could set in (as evidenced by a black dot on the side of my tooth). > > > > > > Needing to be replaced often is a rumor spread by the pro-mercury folks, which has been picked up by dentists inexperienced in using compositie (requires more skill than amalgam) and by insurance companies who don't want to cover the healthier options. > > > S S > > > > > > Re: Fillings > > > Posted by: " Tammy Kuhn " tkuhn1@ bailykuhn > > > Wed May 19, 2010 7:46 pm (PDT) > > > > > > > > > Excuse me?

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Amalgram filling =silver filling. But mercury does not equal silver filling. I believe you used incorrect wording. Everyone knows that a silver filling is an amalgram. But I do not *JUST* have liquid mercury in my mouth....the mercury that was in my silver filling is undoubtedly leeched into my system (years ago). These fillings are over 30 years old. Silver filling is considered correct terminology, as is Amalgram, but to say plainly *mercury* is incorret grammar. You keep trying to correct something that needs no correction. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Needing to be replaced often is a rumor spread by the pro-mercury folks, which has been picked up by dentists inexperienced in using compositie (requires more skill than amalgam) and by insurance companies who don't want to cover the healthier options. > > > > > > > S S > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Re: Fillings > > > > > > > Posted by: " Tammy Kuhn " tkuhn1@ bailykuhn > > > > > > > Wed May 19, 2010 7:46 pm (PDT) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Excuse me?

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 " Mercury filling " is the preferred term, referring to the PRIMARY ingredient. " Silver filling " is the term used by the ADA drones who are hoping that people don't notice that dentists are putting poison into their mouths, organs and brain.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 , The dentist has absolutely nothing to gain by lying about my daughter's filling being replaced. We have 100% dental coverage and she makes minimal $$ from them (the insurance company). If it needs to be replaced, then it needs to be replaced. The filling is less than 3 years old. I know sticky gum and candy, as well as ice, are not good for any fillings...and maybe that is a contributing factor. Afterall, she is only 13 years-old. Kudos to those who have had composite fillings for over 25 years. I guess they don't make them like they used to. > > If a dentist told me composite fillings had to be replaced every two to three years I would find another dentist. > S S > > > > , This is not a rumor.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 That really depends in what decade they were made, who made them and how precise they were in mixing ingredients. Fillings frm 30-40 years ago are not the same as 5 years ago or today.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am sure you trust your dentist and we all defend the ones we trust, but there is no harm with confirming from a third party. There is a difference between a filling - which can fall off, out, etc. and a crown, and if you have a filling that should have been a crown, then that is most likely going to crack and need a crown eventually. Then, there are also fillings for young children for cavity prevention that sometime fall out or wear down, but there is also the consideration for whether or not there are dental caries under the filling causing an issue. If these are regular composites, my DENTIST would be concerned if they needed to be replaced every three years. Sure, you get them checked every time you go in, but you don't replace them unless you have to... that is a lot of trauma to a body that is healing. Maybe your dentist was giving you a worst case scenario? I would call the ADA and ask them, because their literature states that they should last at LEAST 5 and up to 15 years. " Worn-Out Fillings Some fillings can last for 15 years or longer. Others, however, will have to be replaced in as little as five years. Your dentist can determine if your fillings are worn enough that they need to be replaced. " " Keeping Your Fillings Although some fillings can last for many years, the average life of an amalgam filling is about 12 years. Composite fillings may not last this long. " * http://www.simplestepsdental.com/SS/ihtSS/r.WSIHW/st.31850/t.31916/pr.3.html#Why\ _Replace_a_Filling_ As for mercury content: " Dental Amalgam and Mercury Dental amalgam fillings are created by mixing elemental mercury (between 43 percent and 54 percent) and an alloy powder composed mainly of silver, tin and copper. " * http://www.ada.org/sections/publicResources/pdfs/dental_fillings_facts_full.pdf Just to put this out there - I can charge up to $125/hr, but if I am paying my assistant for a 20 hour week and she has nothing to do, taking a job at $25/hr still makes me money because it is paying her. Anything that can be billed at a rate more than the cost to perform the service is a profit, " minimal " or not.
