dental scheduling to help mitigate mercury mistake

[Guest guest]

I am pretty sick as a result of chelating with (unknown) mercury still

in my mouth. And yes I did several IV chelations with DMPS and EDTA

before I found your group and Andy's book.

It turns out I have 9 crowns that are still covering a whole bunch of

mercury. I thought it was all gone! Besides the awful metal taste in

my mouth and stomach (everywhere in my body!) I am pretty sick. I

thought it was the flu but it's not going away . It started after I

finished my last oral dmsa round. hasn't let up.

I am scheduled two weeks from now for removel replacement of the

mercury under the crowns. Dentist is highly regarded mercury-free guy.

The only times they have to fix me up are two days in a row; that

would be 4 hours one day and then another 4 hours the next day. The

rest of the teeth would be done the following week.

My question: Are two days in a row of dental surgery too much stress

on a sick body? They felt iffy about it but I really do want to get

the stuff out of there so I can feel better. It's hard to even eat and

I certainly don't need the weight loss..

Thanks.~robin

You know your health and tolerance better than anyone, but I would

really question getting all that work done at once, even over two days.

I had to replace 4 crowns and my dentist tried to do it all in one

day. It was extremely stressful, did not quite go as planned, and

ended up he only got three done before having to call it good for

that visit. I felt like I had really been through the wringer that day,

and I really like and trust the dentist who was doing the work.

He had previously replaced 13 amalgam fillings for me,

fairly painlessly (over 4 appointments). It actually took four more

visits to finally get all the crown work completed as I didn't have

too much tooth left under a couple of the crowns. Luckily I didn't end

up having to have surgery, but at one point that was considered.

I waited a month before going back to get the one remaining

crown removed and I was glad to have that much time to recover.

If you are already unhealthy, then maybe you shouldn't stress your

body out totally -- I think every crown removal and amalgam extraction

is going to release a bit of mercury into your body, no matter

how many precautions the dentist takes. Maybe someone else

has a different opinion/experience re: so much work at once.

Robin, my background with this is similar to yours, and my crowns

were just replaced last fall, so I'll share my experiences.

I had 3 appointments to remove crowns from all 4 quadrants in late

September & during October. There was no mercury found at the first

one & I felt fine. However, there was a lot of it under the other

crowns. I wasn't expecting a reaction (and my dentist follows all

the best protocols), but it hit my immune system very, very hard,

very quickly, and certainly increased fatigue levels. I lost

everything gained so far from chelation & am still working on

getting back to where I'd been.

After the first " bad " appointment, I had to delay the last one due

to developing a severe cold, followed by an ear infection. It was 3-

4 weeks between appointments. We also got biocompatibility (blood

test) results and learned I have an extreme immune reaction to Hg.

After about 4 rounds of DMSA I was starting to perk up a little

again, but there was at least 2 months where I wasn't accomplishing

a thing. As time passed, I was experiencing the same brain symptoms

that I get when chelating on ALA.

From an immune standpoint, I think the assault from drilling, etc.,

alone takes a toll. I found it much harder to have crowns removed &

replaced than the amalgam filling removals a few years ago. One

crown was gold with amalgam under it, so maybe that should be born

in mind? Maybe I'm more sensitive to Hg & other materials now as a

result of all the intense work done several years ago?

I wouldn't tolerate having that much done so quickly. I think

there's a pretty significant Hg exposure with each appointment, even

using all the correct protocols. I understand your impatience with

getting this over with. I felt the same way.

We each have to make our own calls on this; it's a tough situation

to be in, especially if you have to travel far for your appointments.

Best wishes,

Joanne

thanks joanne, great advice. i'm going to schedule the sessions a bit

farther apart.. btw, the last mercury-free dentist i used used

activated charcoal -- i took it right before the work -- don't now

what this group thinks of that but seems harmless enough, no?

~robin

[Guest guest]

I think it's important to take activated charcoal both before and

after the appointment to help absorb any Hg that's headed down the

digestive tract.

Our dentist has it handy, too, and offers it if you forget to take it

before going to the appointment.

------------My dentist also gave me activated charcoal right before and after

each removal session. It is supposed to absorb any mercury in case any

accidentally gets swallowed and into your gut during the removal. It is a

precautionary measure and is fine/safe to do.----------Jackie
