Re: Dentistry and Chelation, Is this OK to do?

[Guest guest]

Make sure you have this done by a mercury free dentist. If this is

TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE, make sure you are at least seeing a dentist who

appreciates that you don't want amalgam in your kid, then:

Write in the chart " you must use composite, you do not have permission

to use amalgam. "

Actually sit in the room and watch the procedure to ensure amalgam

isn't used.

Andy,

This dentist doesn't use Amalgam for any of her patients, and she

treats many autistic children. (I was referred from another mother).

My concern is the chelation therepy and the anesthesia not mixing?

I'm going to tell the anesthesiologist that we have been chelating,

and ask what he knows about the drug he is using. Do you have any

input on this mixing of DMSA and whatever medicine they used to

put him under? Thanks for the tip on writing into his chart. I will

take your advise.

Thank you for all your time.

I don't know of any reason this would be a problem, but do make sure

to check if they use " sterile water for injection, " and if so, read

the ingredients because some of that is kept sterile by thimerosal

dissolved in the water.....

Otherwise many anesthetics are hard on the liver, so liver support

nutrients are very good. This can be a problem if they don't want him

to eat for 12 hours before the procedure so that the anesthetic won't

make him barf. 500 mg (or as much more as they'll use) of vitamin C

in any iv anesthetic mixture will go a long way towards preventing

problems. Use sodium ascorbate for injection, not ascorbic acid

Use sodium ascorbate for injection, not ascorbic acid

There are several forms of vitamin C available for injection (and for

eating). Ascorbic acid is the acid form. Vitamin C is an acid.

Sodium ascorbate is the neutral form. Vitamin C salt. If you inject

it, you want to use the neutral salt form, sodium ascorbate.
