Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 No I would not say he's ready. There is nickel in the bridge. Porcelain is fired onto a stainless steel post which contains nickel and often times a bunch of other metals. Chelation would be at risk of pulling metals from this into him. Some people say this is fine to do, but on A-M we had parents try to chelate kids who had stainless steel caps..and found their children dumping tons of nickel. The parents had to remove the children's caps before any more chelation could be done. This showed that metals in dental work will get into the body. Are you also aware that metals in the mouth emit electrical current, that interferes with the brains own natural current. This can aggravate mood etc too. Now he may be too toxic for ala at this point. But if he were only using that...it does not have as big an affinity for metals other than mercury like the dmsa does. I would not begin chelation. I know your in a hurry to get him well, but you don't want to hurry so much that you make him worse either. (just my opinion based upon my research) Any chance on trying some supplemental lithium for the moods, and addressing his adrenals for the rage?? This may help him until he can get a metal free partial or something instead of the bridge. Because even if you begin chelation today...these problems are going to take time to go away. So you want to find things to make them manageable in the meantime. Lithium orotate or aspartate are very helpful in mood problems. Adrenal cortex got rid of rage in our house, adrenals and thyroid are very important to moods and brain function..including focus, concentration, brain fog etc. Please look at those as well, it can help in get through chelation more smoothly. PS: attention span-Cod liver oil, get those essential fatty acids into him, taurine was very calming and added focus for us. > > Hi All, > > My husband has gotten his amalgams removed.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 , I had a 4 tooth bridge on the lower middle teeth. It never fit right and was allergic to the cheap metals in it. Finally had enough money to remove it and get one on that fit better. 2 teeth in the middle of it were dead and root canaled, finally talked dentist into removing both of them, the first one had a mercury filling in the root canal, been there over 40 yrs and leaking like a sieve. The other had a chronic infection it so bad it had rotted off the metal pin in it, also been there over 40 yrs. So you might want to be certain there is nothing 'under' that bridge that could be mercury or causing health problems also. There was no way to know on Xrays or exam. Marcia Is he ready for chelation yet? Hi All, My husband has gotten his amalgams removed. The only dental issue now (other thanprobably having cavitations we can't afford to address right now) is his four-unit bridge on his top front teeth. The bridge is a little loose. One dentist said probably the old cement has worn away. The bridge needs to be replaced, but that will have to wait until we have the $$ for it. At this point, can anyone think of any reason why he should not begin the DMSA? If you had a four-unit bridge (yes, it's probably a porcelain fused to metal bridge) like him, but no other amalgam fillings and no crowns, would YOU consider YOURSELF ready to begin chelation? We're getting eager to start him on it, since his emotional and psychological disturbances are making life very difficult. But thanks to Andy's book, we've got him on Gotu Kola, DMAE and Ginko Biloba for that. These supplements are really making a very noticeable improvement in his attention span (he's very ADD), concentration ability, and his memory. However, he's unable to control his impulsiveness, and that is really hurting us financially! If his fits of rage hit again, we'll start him on 5-HTP. I know these things are due to his high brain mercury, so I have compassion for his plight. Those supplements are what's making life with my dear sweet Hg-poisoned husband liveable. We've got the other supplements we need. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
