Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/dentalnetwork/ Sorry to hear about all your symptoms, toowittybird. Could your arm playing up and other symptoms have appeared around the time you had your extractions,( specially the wisdoms). Alot of mine did, until I had ALL my cavitations cleaned the proper way. It could also help you with your Crohn's. Look at the link above and read all you can on cavatation cleaning, print it out and take to your dentist to read. We have alot of faith in cleaning out old and new sockets. it is also more important to get them cleaned even before removing your amalgams because it will be a huge help for your immunesystem in helping fight all the symptoms. It was THE one thing that saved me I believe. I almost immediately could see and feel results. Good luck to you and hope it helps you too. Kai Can I chelate later? (Long, sorry!) Some of you may have read from my earlier posts that I was scheduled to have my remaining 3 amalgams removed around mid September. I had a total of 11 or 12 amalgams, I don't remember exactly - 3 were improperly removed (drilled and I inhaled vapors) and 4 were wisdom teeth extractions, and I think 2 were part of a metal bridge which came apart in my mouth and got replaced with a metal free crown. I have decided (with my holistic iaomt dentist) to have the 3 amalgams replaced ASAP, since my Crohn's is acting up and two of the amalgams have a chipped area and I taste metal, and in the mornings I wake up with a burning mouth. Initially the dentist had wanted to give me some time to help stabilise my system with supplementation and only then do the replacements and placing of new zirconium crowns etc. After I spoke to her yesterday, she felt that seeing how I felt mentally strong to go through with the replacement I need not wait till September. I was actually ready to start taking Entocort (Budesonide or prednisone) to help with this recent flare up of my Crohn's. These are meds that I have always avoided taking if I could. She was not keen that I start on this med and suggested that I get all 3 amalgams replaced at one sitting immediately. She will follow this up with IV Vit C (which will have just lipo-proteins added to it and nothing else). Now that you have the background, my question is regarding follow up chelation. I will be travelling in a month's time where I leave the country and am away for about 10 days. I know it will be a tiring trip. Is it better to start chelation when I return? This means there will be a gap of 6 weeks before I start chelation. I thought I would follow the DMSA protocol. If I can wait for the chelation, should I just take the basic supplements suggested by Andy? (Molybedenum, Zinc, amino acids, fish oil, probiotics, Ascorbate, milk thistle)? One of the reasons for my slight panic to get the amalgams out ASAP was that I noticed a few facial tremors two nights ago, and also my right upper arm and its shoulder which have been hurting off and on, hurts even more with physical work (like chopping stuff in the kitchen) - this is a new development over the past two months or so. It got particularly bad after a dentist extracted my right lower wisdom tooth that had huge amalgam in it. At the same appointment a root-canaled tooth that had a metal rod in it had also been extracted. Since it was just an extraction no particular protection was used (was that right by the way?), I just had accupuncture sessions prior to the appointments. I also have been getting various nerve twitches over different parts of the body since the extractions. I now feel that I am at the crossroads where I decide whether the Crohn's needs to settle first or I start dealing with the mercury toxicity issue first (which came first - the chicken or the egg?). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
