Hi Kirsteen, I highly recommend joining the Yahoo group called adult-metal-chelation and definitely finding a biological dentist who can do the work for you as safely as possible.
There are things you can take, such as charcoal capsules, to absorb any mercury you might take in from the dental work but posting to the group might give you a much higher chance of success by providing you with an overall game plan on how to proceed. There are members experienced in this issue there who can also suggest some low dose chelation protocols to help you get rid of the heavy metal burden you might have, after you dental work has been completed. How a dentist handles the mercury removal while working on you and how he/she supports you with supplemental O2 while simultaneously suctioning off mercury vapor-laden air from the vicinity to prevent you from breathing it in is considered vitally important by some experts. A rubber dam placed in the mouth is the very least which needs to done to prevent you from ingesting fragments of fillings which might otherwise make it down your throat but the other measures are almost equally important. If you can't afford the right kind of dentist, get some money somewhere so you can afford one because the wrong kind of dentist can cause you to experience some very life changing and unpleasant experiences which, believe me, you want to avoid! Been there...done that...got the T-shirt! Take whatever time you can to make the right choices for the best possible outcome and it will be well worth it. You'll be glad you did. Also, read Dr. Andrew Hall Cutler's book, "Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment". Being as informed as you can be about this matter, and acting accordingly, will be something that will pay off for decades for you, in terms of your health and your finances. Look at the "Immune Restoration Handbook", available from The Keep Hope Alive Home Page. It has many immune supportive ideas and is well worth the small price it costs. I hope this helps, Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: Kirsteen Wright To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 4:45 AM Subject: CS>Mercury in fillings Hi Guys I've been having a lot of problems with my teeth lately and I can't put off going to the dentist much longer. The problem is that I have quite a few mercury fillings. Some of these are going to have to be renewed, which will involve them being drilled out and new ones put in. unfortunately no special precautions will be taken by the dentist. There may even be some teeth that get mercury fillings for the first time :-( According to the dentist, he could put white fillings in the teeth at the front for 'cosmetic reasons' but if I want them at the back I would need a note from the doc to say I was allergic to mercury. It's pretty academic anyway as there's no way I can afford them. Living on disability benefits I get the dental treatment free, but non mercury fillings or removal of mercury isn't included. i know health is a priority but when it's a choice of paying my rent or paying for non mercury fillings and being homeless then it ain't much of a choice. I feel my immune system is already severely compromised (I have myalgic encephomeyelytis) so is there anything I can do to lesten the impact of all this mercury floating about. Cheers Kirsteen
