Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 . Small error, check here: http://onibasu.com/archives/am/178066.html It appears that DMPS/DMSA can mobilize some small amount of Nickel, but that it is probably not of concern if the chelator is in a cap that does not come in contact with the dental appliance. Leastwise, a number of people have been able to use these chelators both with stainless steel (caps, braces) and with implants in the body. It appears there _is_ some (unclear amount of) possibility that chelation <<might>> provoke an immune response to nickel. http://onibasu.com/archives/amc/30264.html I didn't find a report of this actually happening, though. Dave. -------------- . I think Dean would be the best person to respond to this. I do not <<believe>> that there would be any mercury or lead in the metal of the bridge, which would mean you could go ahead, but I would suggesting checking with him, perhaps on the dental & chelation list (whose exact name I'm not remembering right now). (Nickel is toxic, and if it is in there it's not great, but ALA, DMSA/DMPS will not chelate it.) As for your husband's fits of rage, that is usually the liver being overloaded with toxins. Remember the old European term when they would call someone " bilious " ? Well, there is something to it, as any chiropractor or chinese medicine doctor will confirm. You might want to consider giving him some liver support. You could start with milk thistle and maybe lecithin (thought be careful as lecithin is a choline precursor and might make him hyper), and if his stools are straw color (ie if he is making no bile) then you can give glycine and taurine as precursors. Also, find out his sulfur status by doing a sulfur exclusion diet. If he is high sulfur, then consuming thiols can lead to redistribution and various symptoms including anger/hostility/explosive outbursts.

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?
