Amalgam removal

Play it safe and go with false teeth. Luck, JR

I'd like to eventually remove all the amalgam fillings from my mouth as

a preventive measure. I know Mercury in the amalgam is toxic but I've

heard that composites, porcelain, ceramics are not great either. What

is the most non-toxic, biocompatible option for replacement? Any

suggestions would be most appreciated.

M-

Sorry to hear that the removal did not work for you. I

never had the DMPS chelation as my dentist still does

not believe that a root canal stuffed with silver

filling has the ability to leech. I was working with a

chiropractor at the time. I did alot of sauna treatments

for detox and he gave me herbs that pass the blood-brain

barrier to remove the mercury from the brain tissue. At

the time, I was not aware that PWC's are glutathione

deficient and have a more difficult time to detox. Hope

you've found something else that works for you.

From Mark Konlee's site http://www.execpc.com/~keephope/report19.html

begin excerpt

One example was a lady with CFIDS and severe multiple chemical sensitivity

plus severe sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. ............ The lady

also reports she has blood stickiness and has also tested for high levels of

heavy metals (mercury and lead). She will need a lot of pectin (5 to 10

grams daily) or about 3 cups of applesauce or 6 apples daily to effectively

remove the heavy metals. Both citrus and apple pectin in powder form are

sold in health food stores and in some grocery stores.

PECTIN - THE FIBER THAT REMOVES HEAVY METALS AND TOXINS.

Dr. Balch reports that pectin is good for diabetics, removes toxins and

heavy metals, lowers cholesterol and reduces the risk of gallstones. Dr.

Balch reports that pectin is found in apples, bananas, the rinds of citrus

fruits (lemons, oranges and grapefruit), carrots, beets, cabbage and okra.

About one year ago, I talked to a former drug addict who told me he could

remove all the street drugs he ingested by drinking a package of liquid

pectin he would buy at the local grocery store. He would mix it with water

and drink the whole thing at once. He said that “in about 2 hours, all the

drugs in his blood were gone.” He told me this included everything from

marijuana to heroin to cocaine.

end of excerpt

Perhaps this would help. I started the whole lemon/olive oil but was

detoxing too fast.

That's a lot of money, Tracey!! I'm not sure what the conversion rate

is, but I was quoted £50 (UK) per tooth over here recently. BUT,

this was by a dentist who dismissed mercury toxicity, rolled his

eyes at me when I asked to have it done and droned on about how

there was no evidence for it being dangerous, so I made an

executive decision not to let him anywhere near my mouth under

any circumstances, and to wait until I found one who'd take the

mercury issue seriously (and who'll probably charge three times as

much!).

I didn't have this done but I would get a second or

third estimate. Perhaps you dentist gave you an outrageous

cost per tooth to discourage you from getting this done.

Amalgam removal

Has anyone had this done? I just got a quote (via phone) from a highly

recommended dentist in my area who follows all the recommended protocols for

amalgam removal...$250 to $1000 per tooth! I have 16 teeth with amalgams, so

it will take a while to save up for this.

Is this reasonable? What have others paid? Thanks!!

On what basis have you determined you need to remove your amalgam

fillings? Having your amalgams removed should only be done if you are

sure they are causing a problem because the exposure to mercury

during the removal process could actually cause a problem when there

was none before, especially if done by a dentist who does not

specialize in this proceedure. DO NOT under any circumstances allow

this to be done by a dentist who does not have years of experience at

amalgam removal. A dentist who scoffs at the idea of amalgam removal

most assuredly does not have the experience.

Hal Huggins DDS is the elder statesman of amalgam removal, and I

would definitely go to a dentist that is certified by him in the

correct procedures and protocols.

I had the last 5 amalgams taken out of me a week ago Tuesday. I had

to crash on the couch for about 3 hours that evening, but I was fine

the next day. My Naturopathic Dr, was upset with me doing that many

at once, but I was fine. She had given me some homeopathic dental

clean up drops to take along with vitiamn C. I thought it was

cilantro, but she said No Way. Cilantro is a direct carrier to the

brain and can pick up mercury and take it to the brain and find

another pollutant in the brain and leave the cilantro and take out

something else.

Also she told me not to take the coral calcium at this time, maybe

later. She went on to tell me that calcium alone will not help the

bones as you might think. Magnesium is more important to the body. A

study was done with post menopausal women and the ones that received

more calcium had 300% more fractures that those who didn't.

I can't really debate this with anyone here, but only to say our

bodies are very complicated to say the least!! Nuff said.

Apparently there are a few different ways to chelate. Some use the

chemicals like DMSA or DMPS to chelate/remove/detox mercury from the

body. There are also natural chelators like chlorella and cilantro.

If you do a search on the net for mercury detox or " mercury " and

" chelate " you will find lots and lots of info about the various

protocols for removing mercury from the body.

hth,

Rhonda

That is alot to have out at once! I only had my remaining 2 out and

I

felt the same as you described last night, and today still feel kind

of achey like flu symptoms.

I think this is debatable. There have been others that claimed to

have chelated with cilantro and had it work successfully for them.

The way I see it, it's better to try one of these natural chelators

than to just leave the mercury free in your body to cause more and

more damage.

Hi Ragi, The coral that I carry has magnesium in it. It is confusing, because

they call it coral calcium when it really should be called coral or coral

minerals. It has calcium AND magnesium and all the trace minerals. Some

people do supplement with extra mag orotate but most people don't.

Just for clarity, And good job on the amalgam removal. Glad it went well.

Steve,

I went to Dr. Villareal in Woodland Hills, CA (818) 716-6722. He used a

rubber dam to keep the crud from going down my throat but I didn't get an

oxygen mask. I regret that because after the 2nd of 2 procedures I was in a

toxic fog. I don't know if that was a factor but I would insist on one.

Make sure amalgams are not taken out all at once but preferably in

quadrants, if you have a lot of them.

If you don't live in SoCal I'm sure an Internet search would provide several

" holistic " dentists that probably use the proper procedures. I remember

reading a book by Huggins, DDS in Colorado, who is apparently quite

the expert in this field.

Dr. Cheney recommended someone in Penn. for cavatations but I don't recall

her name. I never followed up but I'll see if I can find her name, etc.

yes, my opinion is that they just don't know yet. sad but true, this causes

divergent opinions. be sure to detox BEFORE removal. I know someone who went

psychotic after correct removal, due to not detoxing beforehand. Even with

the best precautions and methods, there is still exposure during removal.

Just how much is still unknown for sure.also one little known concern and

little discussed , is that anytime you mess with a tooth you put it at

risk.I don't know the detox protocol, sorry. amy

Hi Nil.

I am trying to decide how to have my amlgams removed also, so I am no

expert. It seems that mercury removal is one of the most

controversial of the many difficult questions we face. It seems that

everyone has a different opinion on how to do it and everyone feels

very strongly that his way is the only way to do it. So this is not

much help for you but I think you have to research the various options

available to you and do what you think is best.

prices vary from tooth to tooth, based on which tooth it is and how big a

filling it is. also different dentists vary widely. you might not

necesarilty want to base your decision on high or low price, rather the

expertise of dentist. some excellent ones charge alot while other excellent

ones do not. amy
