Hi, Go and get yourself a PAN x-ray - http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/pan.html That will show you if mercury has been left. The black lines are likely due to staining from clostridium bacteria that often live underneath old fillings, or it is from mercury fillings. Most people that have these removed have it. It does not mean that you still have amalgam in your mouth. A PAN will clear everything up for you (assuming you don't have any metal crowns that could have something hiding under it.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thank you all who responded to me and offered that bit of hope. Sorry to sound over-excited. I tried calling this a.m. to ask about the meaning of the gray lines and getting a PAN (which I think I'm due for - so it would be perfect timing - and I don't have any crowns, so I don't have to worry about that) but the office is closed 'til Monday (wouldn't you know it), but that's okay, I'm just not going to worry about it 'til then. I'll just relax and keep on my AI supplement protocol. Thank you, I feel better knowing that it's possible I may be amalgam-free after all this (I was prepared to have to find a Huggins dentist in my area if there are any, and getting crowns to replace the new composites I got yesterday - luckily insurance paid a lot of it.) -- In frequent-dose-chelation , " Jackie " wrote: > > > In frequent-dose-chelation elizascha wrote: > > I just had my 4 amalgams removed today.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 ---Glad to hear that you have calmed down, but it is very understandable to get upset about something like this. Just get the PAN x-ray when you can and go from there, and like you said, keep taking your supplements. Otherwise, how are you feeling since removal?-------Jackie In frequent-dose-chelation elizascha wrote: Thank you all who responded to me and offered that bit of hope. Sorry to sound over-excited.

I looked in my mouth a day or two before the removal and discovered the lines then; and they're still there after. So if it's not from clostridium, could you describe more about how it could be from the mercury fillings (i.e., they'd leaked, or stained)?

If they are amalgam stains, would you suggest that the stains would have mercury? -----------I don't know for sure, but here are my thoughts on this. If the stains are from the amalgams, then it could be some of the other metals that are in the amalgams also, or a combination of them. What you're seeing probably isn't all mercury, if it is at all. And in comparison to how much mercury was in the whole filling, this is probably a very, very tiny amount, if any. So I'm guessing that it would probably be fairly safe to chelate, even if there is a very tiny amount in those stains. It wouldn't be like trying to chelate with the whole filling still in. And in AI pages 81-83, Andy discusses dental work, and says if you're not improving after awhile, then suspect some hidden mercury or cavitations, etc. He doesn't mention stains there, just amalgam tattoos. But again, for more recent info, I would suggest using onibasu, and searching all three forums. And I would think that to remove the stains, the tooth would probably be damaged too much and would then require crowns, and I wouldn't go there, if you didn't have to. So if the PAN x-ray comes out clean, then I would leave well enough alone and try chelation. JMO---------Jackie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks for finding this post, . This is what I thought, but wasn't a 100% sure, so it's always nice to here it straight from the Big Guy (as called him)!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 , thank you so much for finding this post for me. I was relieved when reading Andy's comments, however when I read what the person was asking about, it's different from what I'm talking about. I never got to see the empty drilled-out holes in my teeth before re-filling (although I would imagine I probably had stains in there too). MY molars look like someone took a super fine pencil and drew lines randomly on them (in some grooves, and down the sides - a layperson, like myself, and my husband who's not into this amalgam illness stuff but supports me, looked in my mouth and guessed that it would be decay or some kind of discoloration from whatever). And I just looked again, and it looks like I have just ONE molar that's never had drilling or filling, that has these markings too. So MAYBE it all has NOTHING to do with amalgam. I'm sorry, folks, that I keep talking about this before I get a chance to talk to the dentist's office Monday, but......I just have a valid suspicion that the dentist will brush this off and say, " Oh, you're fine, it's nothing, I got it all out " . (he's a holistic dentist that sells a supplement at his office that contains alpha lipoic acid and he says it's fine for people with amalgams to take....because it's a GREAT antioxidant). So that's why I seek this group's opinions so I can be prepared with smart suggestions if his responses are ignorant. If it weren't for this group and Andy's book, I would've been on ALA and chlorophyll for quite some time already probably getting worse! So thank you! > > > > I just had my 4 amalgams removed today.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 , don't apologize for talking about something like this. That's what these forums are for, to kick stuff like this around with others, and hopefully get some answers, or at least opinions, and other personal experiences. We all learn from each other's experiences. And I remember how scary and overwhelming all of this seems at the beginning. So yes be glad that you have found this group and Andy's work, and know that you are in the right place.------------Jackie In frequent-dose-chelation elizascha wrote: , thank you so much for finding this post for me. I was relieved when reading Andy's comments, however when I read what the person was asking about, it's different from what I'm talking about. I never got to see the empty drilled-out holes in my teeth before re-filling (although I would imagine I probably had stains in there too). MY molars look like someone took a super fine pencil and drew lines randomly on them (in some grooves, and down the sides - a layperson, like myself, and my husband who's not into this amalgam illness stuff but supports me, looked in my mouth and guessed that it would be decay or some kind of discoloration from whatever). And I just looked again, and it looks like I have just ONE molar that's never had drilling or filling, that has these markings too. So MAYBE it all has NOTHING to do with amalgam. I'm sorry, folks, that I keep talking about this before I get a chance to talk to the dentist's office Monday, but......I just have a valid suspicion that the dentist will brush this off and say, " Oh, you're fine, it's nothing, I got it all out " . (he's a holistic dentist that sells a supplement at his office that contains alpha lipoic acid and he says it's fine for people with amalgams to take....because it's a GREAT antioxidant). So that's why I seek this group's opinions so I can be prepared with smart suggestions if his responses are ignorant. If it weren't for this group and Andy's book, I would've been on ALA and chlorophyll for quite some time already probably getting worse! So thank you! > > > > I just had my 4 amalgams removed today.
