On a similar note, i am going to have braces fitted (dont know when

yet im on a list). Are there any safe metals to use? They would be

fitted braces then i would have a bridge fitted afterwards to keep the

teeth in place. i know some chelators are specific for certain metals

but what about ALA?

It should not be a problem. Essentially you are pulling tons of other

stuff and any titanium would be minute if at all.

I would ask for nickel free braces. You can get stainless that does

not have nickel in it. As for the bridge..also metal free if

possible. Metals in the mouth do cause an electrical current.

Nickel is carcinogenic, minor amounts will be pulled from braces

during chelation which Andy has said is minimal. We did have a mom on

here a long time back whose child was dumping tons of nickel in his

urine with chelation, upon questioning her, I was told her child had

numerous stainless steel caps on his molars. Needless to say, she

chose to pull his teeth and continue chelation.

But just having nickel containing metals in the mouth is generally

not a good idea. Nickel is carcinogenic. There are tons of other

materials they can use for braces and probably bridges too.

As for ALA, should'nt be a problem. DMSA/DMPS are more concerning

with metals in the mouth.

Hi,

What about platinum and ALA? Surgical Grade platinum. Also, I have

a question regarding electrical current due to metals in the mouth.

Where is the electricity originating, and why is this a health

hazard? Thank you.
