Re: Help! I started Chelation too soon!

[Guest guest]

is, don't worry. Just have the filling removed, and then chelate

properly. When you do, make sure to wait the 3 months before ALA.

There is no need to take out the whole tooth. The reason for waiting on

using ALA is simply that you are waiting for the mercury in the body vs

the brain to come into equilibrium.

And one more thing - dont' trust your dentist. Make sure you find a

dentist who is committed to a mercury free practice to remove the

filling and to confirm that you only have one such filling in there.

For one thing, there have been numerous storied about amalgam using

dentists leaving a little bit of amalgam behind when asked to remove it,

or putting some back in when it had already been removed (by someone

else). These guys are often very mercury toxic themselves, and it can

make them like " mad hatters " of Carol fame. As important is the

fact that these guys did not learn how to place composits when they went

to school, as the dental schools only teach how to place amalgams.

Composits take a great deal of care to place properly, and unless the

dentist has had the commitment to learn for themselves, then they don't

know how. A more difficult issue to discern is that the dentist also

need to have the dexterity to place them well. Many dentists have lost

this because the mercury causes an " intention tremor " .

So, your first step is to find a mercury free dentist.

As for the headache, it will probably fade, if it hasn't already. If

you want, you can try large doses of vitamin C, which is what people do

after an exposure, eg during amalgam removal.

Hello

[...]

What should i do? Obviously i have to stop ALA for now until the

metals out. Could i ask for my mercury filled tooth to be removed?

if they took out the whole tooth, would i still have to wait 3

months to take ALA?

im still getting headaches and im worried about any permanent damage

that i may have done to my system. My sensory issues are better

particularly the light ones. Also my body is maintaining it's

temperature better than before.

i have molar teeth that feel smooth. Could they contain harmful

i could show that to the dentist.

i have had a non mercury filling placed in another tooth by this

dentist. i paid £100 for it out of my limited income. i was not happy

by the unfair choice i had to make " free but it could poison you vs

£100 to be healthy " .

might find mercury amalgam is under a crown where it can't be seen, and it could

to pull a healthy tooth, so replacing the filling would be the thing to do. An

exception would be if this tooth needed a root canal, then I would have it

pulled. Also above, you say it is a wisdom tooth, are you sure? Lots of people

don't have room for them in their mouth or they get impacted, so end up having

them pulled or surgically removed. So if this is actually a wisdom tooth, the

--------If it's a mercury amalgam filling, you should be able to see it,

unless it's small and in betweeen teeth, or under a crown, or something like

that. But most of them you can see. You will need to find out *for sure* about

this. Do you trust this dentist? Maybe you should get a second opinion from a

mercury free dentist. You could also get a PAN x-ray done, because the filling

would show up on there. Then you would know for sure.-----Jackie

committed to amalgam free dentistry.
