dental amalgam removal

[billoddie]

Recently discovered my body has mercury toxicity...did some research and the symptons are identical to cfs. A friend has had hers removed and is making some real progress. Trying to save money to get mine done. Anyone else here had their amalgams removed, and did it make any difference?

[kenvj]

Yes I had my amalgams removed and it made no difference whatsoever.

[cfs_since_1998]

What kind of test did you use to determine that you had toxicity? Can you post the results?

How many amalgams do you have? Do you just have regular fillings or do you have crowns and root canals too? Did you ever have an amalgam drilled out and replaced?

If you have them removed you should use a dentist that is a member of the IAOMT. They use a special procedure to prevent mercury vapor being inhaled when the fillings are removed. http://www.iaomt.org/

It's a tricky one.

Obviously you need a mercury-free dentist - who'll use rubber dams and supply you with oxygen... Second, a lot of CFS specialists recommend getting the body's detox systems up and running again first, so the added mercury burden of removal doesn't just set you further back...

Was reading about a case where someone had 3-4 amalgams removed and had much higher tissue levels of mercury than before.

Might be an idea to get glutathione levels checked first?

I'm trying to detox mercury as much as possible with an FIR sauna, the methylation cycle supplements and coriander.

Hi I have had CFS for 15 years. I had my amalgums removed a year ago - 8 of them. There was no change in energy like they promise you. I did notice pH of my saliva went up as soon as the fillings were gone. They say Mercury fillings make you more acidic which is bad that means you pick up more disease. I did a heavy metal test from Harmonology and I was getting rid of Mercury and found out I had aluminium poisoning as well. It helps but it was no magic bullet after spending all that money on a Dentist that knew how to do it safely, I was expecting more. I am on a detox diet and I take heavy metal detox products. I think real change comes with doing something to get rid of parasites and viruses and build up and create problems for the immune system and what ever else your parituclar body needs nutritionally and hormonally. All of that will get you back up to speed. Although amalgum filling contribute to a slow decline in your health other factors are creating problems as well. Its a whole system that is out of balance that's why its so difficult to get over CFSeveryone is different and you have to figure out what your needs are.

Good luck

I had all my mercury amalgams removed and it did make a difference. I no longer have the metalic taste in my mouth. It is VERY important HOW you have this done. My Dentist has a Holistic and Mercury free office. He gave me spiruella to drink before the removal. He did only 1 amalgam per month to allow for detox gradually. He had oxygen machine and fresh air for me under my chin and both the Dentist and his Assistance wore oxygen masks. His office is specially ventilated. If you go to a REGULAR Dentist to have this done and they do more than one then you will definitely feel worse. It is important to find a Dentist who will make sure ALL of the amalgam is removed....leaving just a little bit is not good, it must be properly and fully removed. Also I had my crowns removed, BUT I had them replaced with a non metalic material that my Dentist uses. Porcelain crowns are METAL. As stated in other posts, it is a personal choice, I did my research and it did help me.

Removed some large ones and this made a difference, meaning that the metalic taste and a feeling of a little 'electricity' in my mouth went away. Besides that, I do not feel my new fillings, where I always felt the presence of the old ones. Can't say I felt better energetically after removal.

The method used to remove amalgam indeed is important; wether it will help you or not, during removal mercury is getting into the body when not removed properly and that is never a good thing. So if you decide to give it a go; get a real good dentist that uses both air suction (for mercury fumes) and the so called Cofferdam method (a rubber sheet placed in the mouth to prevent mercury parts to get into the mouth and system).

Did not use anything to help remove rubbish. Spirulina is told to be good, but I've been told a lot of 'us' are intolerant for it. Only used Norit, which is a charcoal tablet (used with diarhea) just before and imemdiately after removel; this soaks up rubbish in the gut but is not a 'foreign' substance to the body.

Drink a lot of water!

according to the world health organisation

It may be fatal if inhaled and harmful if absorbed through the skin. Around 80% of the inhaled mercury vapour is absorbed in the blood through the lungs. It may cause harmful effects to the nervous, digestive, respiratory, immune systems and to the kidneys, besides causing lung damage. Adverse health effects from mercury exposure can be: tremors, impaired vision and hearing, paralysis, insomnia, emotional instability, developmental deficits during fetal development, and attention deficit and developmental delays during childhood. Recent studies suggest that mercury may have no threshold below which some adverse effects do not occur.

then they go onto say the mercury vapour released from amalgam fillings exceeds the safe levels set for the air we breath. LOL and there are people with loads of them in their mouths.

In 1991, the World Health Organization confirmed that mercury contained in dental amalgam is the greatest source of mercury vapour in non-industrialized settings, exposing the concerned population to mercury levels significantly exceeding those set for food and for air.

Even if amalgam fillings aren't causing you CFS, it is wise to have them removed. Like someone here mentioned previously, the IAOMT protocol should be followed. Drilling on amalgams can release a huge amount of mercury into your body. Don't let your local dentist take them out !

The problem with mercury is that its a slow cumulative poison, it builds up in all the cells of your body. Even once you remove the, the mercury will still remain there in your cells. This also explains why if people have a blood test, mercury won't show up, because its hiding in all your cells. It'll only show up if you have just massive short term exposure. It will show up in a hair test though. If it doesn't, it means your body is retaining it, and then you are probably in trouble. Chelation can help, but I would proceed with a lot of caution. Chelation can do several bad things.

1) by physically pulling mercury out of cells you can damage/kill them.
2) if you get the mercury out, it has to leave the body. You are in danger of just moving the mercury around in your body, and dumping it elsewhere so it can cause damage in new parts of your body. Not cool.

This is the best short video I've probably found on the subject of amalgams. It is from the IAOMT

Also check out the melisa page on metal allergies
http://www.melisa.org/
They have a lot of science and studies to prove that CFS patients can and do get better if they can identify metals they are allergic to and remove them from the mouth (or body). It's not just mercury that can cause your CFS, but potentially any of the other metals amalgams (or possibly gold) fillings are made of.

got amalgam out and detoxed...minimal difference. Had to do it though.

its not always the mercury causing all of the problems when it comes to amalgam fillings.. There is a possibility that the mercury itself is polluted with thallium, which is worse than mercury, lead and arsenic combined..

Since there is only 2 main causes at the heart of all disease, 'Parasites & Pollutants', it stands to reason that the easiest way to return to optimal health is to remove all of these..

Rid your body of all parasites, (worms, bacteria, viruses, moulds, and fungus using a frequency generator or a zapper), and study as much about herbs as you can... Take large dosages of Vit C & B complex.. and Alpha Lipoic Acid (Thioctic Acid).. Zinc and Histidine also help.. Chlorella (coriander) and garlic too..along with food grade Hydrogen Peroxide. Buy your own or book into a health spa for regular hyperbaric chamber (oxygen therapy) use.
Test and remove any polluted foods and or cleaning products from the house immediately.
Zap all food to kill molds.
Especially eliminate all sources of Benzenes and Propyl Alcohols, from diet and lifestyle.

God Speed to you all..

Please get rid of that mercury filling aka silver fillings! Consider joining forces with me and many others! We are taking on the dental industry! They are poisoning many people with mercury!

If you really care about your health then get rid of them and also consider joining me on facebook at fightmercury@gmail.com

The dental industry has a sham and it is poisoning humans left and right!

Mercury can be traced to endless amounts of problems for humans. There are many poisoning cases from Minamata and MadHatters of mass poisonings. The gov has basically elimated mercury from everything but dentistry! They put mercury right in your mouth still. That fact alone should alarm people that something is wrong!

The reason they balk in a stand still and stonewall all efforts by mothers against amalgam-knowledgeable phds-mds-scientists who want to ban its use is because they are only caring about limiting liability in lawsuits.

There are more warnings on peanuts!

Silver Fillings come with no warnings or side effects to be cautioned of from the Dentist!

This is because the claim it to be 100 percent safe!

The cover up is they do not want to be sued! There are 100 of millions of people with mercury AKA silver fillings in their mouth!

When you are sick for not reason or moody soon after getting them you don't know why because you were never told of the mercury in your mouth!

I am compiling stories and letting people know on my facebook! FightMercury@gmail.com

I had mine removed before I got CF. So now I make a green veggie juice every day, and add celantro. It bonds with mercury in the system.
