Re: A: Amalgam Removal during Breastfeeding

February 16, 2006

Hello -

Thanks to for her thoughts.

I realize that we don't want to remove amalgam during breastfeeding but for

example one of the patients has a 15 month old, is breastfeeding him, is

wanting to get pregnant in the next few months and has old amalgams that are

decaying and her dentist says she has maybe has 6 months or so that she can

hold off on the dental work before things start to get messy (possible

infection, cracks etc.) She has no overt symptoms and baby is healthy. So

waiting till she stops breastfeeding could be several years, conceivably.

So - in that scenario I am wondering if folks recommend that she

purposefully wean for a time? Or just pump and dump for a time or what? I

am really curious as to what others think as well.

Thanks in advance.

,

I think there is too much concern over this type of situation.

I think the Mom needs to have her dentistry completed based on the history presented. Since the dentist is supposedly familiar with the risks, then (s)he will provide adequate protection - rubber dam, O2, high volume evacuation etc etc.

At the same time, the patient is proctected by YOUR recommendations (sel, chlorogen/ chlororphyll/ AFA Gen/ phytogreens etc, UNDA 2 20 243, CuAuAg or whatever else you want to do). This will minimize any volatile mercury from being absorbed.

At the same time, the baby is also being treated (should have been treated all along with BTGs, EFA, COP, Unda etc). The baby can also be given the same remedies as Mom which will minimize any potential problem which is passed through the breast milk and Mom can have her dentistry safefully completed.
