amalgam fillings

[Guest guest]

I asked my dentist's assistant if she had ever had a patient request

removeal of all mercury fillings and had them replaced with non-metal

substances. She said, no. Dentists definately don't advocate removal of

mercury fillings. I think it puts their profession in a bad light, and

that may be why they take a stance. I decided against removing my many

fillings because of cost and because of possible damage due to the

removal. I am not convinced that MS is caused by mercury poisoning. I

still think it may be triggered by different things in different

people. Has anyone done a double blind study, that you know of, for BBD?

Some dentist do advocate the removal of mercury fillings but it has to be done

by a dentist that knows how to do it safely. Some people have reported good

results but others none at all and it probably is that some people are more

sensitive than others. Putting a deadly neuro toxin very close to the brain does

not seem a very good idea to me. My wife had all her fillings replaced and she

is definitely a lot better since she had it done but then she has been trying a

number of things as well such as LDN so it would be very difficult to say in her

case the filling removal has helped. I think with something like MS you need a

number of different protocol to beet it and the problem then is you do not know

exactly what is working. However if you get better do you care. There is a test

called that you can do to check for mercury sensitivity but I would not

know if that gives any better indication than just removing the fillings and

seeing if it helps. If you decide this is worthwhile thing to try then do make

sure you find a dentist who knows how to do it safely otherwise you can

definitely do harm.

HI,

I am one of those who had my amlalgams replaced, as well as a bridge

made of nickel. The amalgams were removed 14 months ago (3 amalgams

total) and the nickel bridge was removed about 6 months ago. In my

case, so far, I would say it has not helped or hurt. However, I feel

that over time, this is one step of many that I am taking toward an

overall healing approach.

It is important to note that amalgam removal is only half of the

process of removing metals from the body. Metals are lodged in

tissues and the brain due to the years of having amalgams, and many

believe chelation therapy of some kind is needed to remove these

metals from the body. There is an incredible amount of controversy

over which chelation approach to use...I tried DMSA in only a tiny

amount and had a terrible reaction. I am not sure how/if to chelate

now.

I have heard a handful of stories of people who recovered from an MS

diagnosis with amalgam removal and chelation therapy. However, it is

usually just one step in the healing process, and for some it may not

make a difference and it may not be necessary to have them removed. I

have heard recovery stories of people who still have the amalgams as

well.
