I had my amalgam fillings removed in the late '80s, after reading a book by a dentist warning that the mercury fillings were toxic. (He subsequently lost his dental license, because the ADA is/was in full denial on the subject, since it has known since the 1840s that mercury would kill you.)
At the time, I knew I was supposed to have a sophisticated treatment procedure, but since my Rancho Santa Fe dentist wanted $175 per filling, I declined and went to Tijuana, where a Mexican dentist used part of required removal process for his and my protection -- a dental dam for me and a powerful fan to blow away the toxic fumes from him and I. I had about 7-8 mercury fillings removed over two weekends -- uppers one week and lowers the next. I had them all removed for what my US dentist wanted to charge for one tooth. I never had any negative reaction to this procedure, even though I know it was less than state of the art. I was one of those who should have been very susceptible to the mercury fumes, since I had experienced intense, prolonged exposure to mercury as a teenager. I think the warnings about removal are overblown, to prevent the practice from becoming universal, and to allow US dentists to charge more for the service. ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendy To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 8:44 AM Subject: RE: CS>dental mercury http://www.drhuggins.com/default.asp?PageName=Hug_TV <snip> Actual studies in our office have shown that 63% of those people having amalgams etc removed at random ended up in worse condition health-wise than prior to dental revision. Of those patients treated by our "Multi-Disciplined Alliance" who had body chemistry as well as dental revision, the creation of new disease was zero. Chemical Relativity is fascinating to those who behold the body as an entire interlocking interdependent biochemical mechanism. This course of at least 2 years, and perhaps more, is dedicated to those who want to know more than just removing amalgams and hoping. <end snip> Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Gerard [mailto:devorah...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: February 15, 2006 8:16 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>dental mercury Mike as long as they dam off your throat and you go thru some kind of chelation afterwords you will be fine...deb "M.
