Clifford Test Results Back need help????

[Guest guest]

I have posted here before. I have had four amalgam fillings replaced

with composites over the course of 3 months(last Oct-Dec) I have been

feeling really tired and weird sensations in my head at times. I am

spacey and disoriented at times. I did not have the testing done

before the fillings were replaced( I know I should have done this

first). But afterwards I thought maybe the fillings are the cause so I

had a Clifford test completed and I just got the results today from the

dentist. He said it came back that I tested positive for some of the

materials he used on me. He said he would replace the fillings at half

the cost but he could not guarantee that I would feel any better. I

don't know if I feel this way because of the fillings or if I rec'd

mercury exposure. Finacially, this would be a big cost- I still need

to get a crown replaced. Any thoughts anyone. Thanks Sheila

---------I'm just curious, did he tell you which materials you reacted to?

Because after we talked about this the first time, I recently remembered that

someone posted about having a problem with composites that had Bisphenol A in

them, and I think she had to get them replaced. You could search onibasu using

Bisphenol A and see what you come up with.

Anyway, back to your situation. Tough call, because like the dentist said,

there is no guarantee. And if you're not sure what is causing the symptoms, you

could wait, at least awhile, and see what happens. And if you can't afford to

do it right away, I would wait on these and get the crown done, so you can start

chelating. If you don't start feeling better after starting chelation, then I

would seriously think about getting the composites replaced with biocompatable

materials. Even if you can't do it real soon, at least you have the information

now, and can have them replaced with safe materials next time. So do the crown,

start chelating, and then go from there.--------Jackie

THanks. I looked on the Clifford test and I am sensitive to the

phenol family. So I am assumming this would include Bisphenol A.

I will have to ask my dentist if he used this. I am struggling to

decide what to do. I thought about just replacing a couple then do

the crown see if that helps. Ugghh, the thought of having to replace

my fillings- who likes to go to the dentist. On the positive side,

at least they were not all crowns. I may have to dip into my 401K to

fix this. Oh well, Thanks again. Sheila

-----------Yes this sucks, and I'm sorry you're in this situation. I found a

post by the person I had mentioned, and it has links about BPA. I'm sure this

is a tough call, but if you're sure you are mercury toxic, (I can't remember if

you've had a hair test or what), and really want to get on with chelation, then

I would go ahead and get the cown done, so you can start chelation. This may

help you feel better also. Then, as you can afford to do so, I would get the

composites replaced with safe materials for you. I think getting the mercury

out first and getting started chelating is more important than replacing those

composites right now. JMO, and of course, you'll have to make your own

decision. Good luck----------Jackie
