Re: New to Group -- Post-braces Dental Wire

June 17, 2008

Hi .

I doubt the wire is only titanium. It is probably mixed with other metals. As

I understand it, nickel is the only issue during chelation. If there is nickel

in the wire, people have chelated with nickel containing orthodontia, and even

with nickel in body implants. When chelating, make sure that the chelator is

in a capsule when you consume it - don't let it get directly in contact with

the wire. It is a theoretical possibility that some kind of auto-immune

reaction to nickel might develop, but there do not appear to be any such

reports yet.

Hello, everyone.

I am new to the group. I am a 26 year old male. I previously had

several amalgam fillings when I was a child, all of which left my

mouth with the removal of my baby teeth. I went through four years of

braces (lots of metal in my mouth) and was left with a semi-permanent

wire on the back of my lower teeth that my dentist has informed me is

composed of titanium.

With no amalgam in my mouth, I am looking to approach chelation via

ALA soon, but am still absorbing a lot of information at this time.

I've reviewed the web-site and the recommendations for the dosage,

timing, and overall Cutler method of pursuing chelation with ALA.

Here is my question: Does the wire I have along my lower middle teeth

pose a problem for beginning mercury chelation? My dentist informed me

that it will not 'leach,' but I wanted to see if it were possible to

confirm this prior to approaching chelation in the case it could pose

a problem.

I suffer many health related issues, which is why I am interested in

pursuing chelation: IBS (possibly Crohn's disease) with diarrhea,

malabsorption, chronic dry eye syndrome, fatigue, low energy,

depression, anxiety, panic attacks, adrenal/endocrine type issues

(although doctor's tests come back normal), poor concentration, major

brain fog, social interaction avoidance and anxiety. My digestive

upsets are my most difficult symptoms. I also suspect candidiasis.

Thanks and regards,

.
