Mercury Fillings

i have 3 mercury fillings, i read that they can be linked to causing hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue which i have..


now would you recommend i look into getting them removed? i know it can be quite costly... 200-300$ per tooth..

even people are highly against the mercury fillings sometimes say it might be best to leave them in, because taking them out can be quite costly, painful and someone cause more mercury to get into the system

now what do you recommend?

i been reading more about it, not sure what im going todo yet

If the fillings are intact (not damaged) then it is not necessary to remove them. But a good dentist can remove them without poisoning you, with a special method. Sorry, i do not know how they call it in english.

Shock Wrong!

I had a feeling you might be making a post about this soon, and I'm not surprised that you have 3 amalgams based on your endocrine issues.

You would be very wise to continue looking for the best ways to get those amalgams out of your teeth.  Not to scare you or cause you anxiety, but they are constantly leaking mercury vapor every day, especially when chewed on and scraped or brushed or heated.  This vapor is then easily inhaled and absorbed by the body's tissues and accumulating in your body and brain (to a lesser or greater extend depending on your detoxification abilities, which even if they are optimal, will still result in mercury toxicity to some degree or another).

And you are correct to be linking your mercury amalgams to endocrine issues like adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism.  The longer the mercury remains in the body and brain, the more it damages.  Mercury is the second most potent toxin to the human being, second only to plutonium.  Mercury has a strong ability to cause brain neuron degeneration (quite rapidly), and also is a potent immune suppressant.

There are so many things to consider when having amalgams removed, I hardly know where to start, or if I have the time to really elaborate fully enough to get you started.

The most important thing is to find a dentist that is aware of mercury poisoning and the toxicity that can occur from improper removal of amalgams due to mercury release when they are being removed.  A knowledgeable dentist should be able to help you remove them without causing you additional harmful and unnecessary mercury exposure.

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) physician search would be a good place to start.

However, I suggest you research and read-up on mercury amalgams and precautions needed when undertaking their removal before diving in hastily to having them removed.

Simple removal of mercury amalgams, although very beneficial, is not sufficient to escape the complete ravages of the mercury you have been previously/presently are being exposed to.  Without a lengthy chelation protocol (which has inherent limitations and possible harmful effects due to mercury redistribution and lack of specific organ support, IMO) or a homeopathic detoxification program (like I am currently undertaking) to remove the mercury from your tissues, the mercury will sit (especially in the brain) in your body for many many many years and continue to cause bodily degeneration.

I will try to add more to this subject at a later time.

No need to panic! As with all things everyone has a different feeling about this issue. I don't know the truth, but I would recommend removing them if you can afford it with a good Dentist you trust. I believe on the other hand many people have had no issues with the fillings.

heads remove, tails they stay.

Best thing though is to relax and think clearly.

Best to you,
Avalon  Happy

Ironic you suggest this, because it is a difficult task, some would argue, in the thick of being mercury toxic from years of exposure from mercury amalgams.

I'm as suspicious as they come. Yet, I also know many many people claim otherwise and do not suffer as others do. People rush to surgery when I think perhaps natual healing- less invasive options might work. Then again, as this is a discussion board, I'm really just thinking out loud. I recommend their removal. If I could afford to remove all of my fillings (I'm 52!) I would. They were handing out lolly pops at the Dentist office when I was a kid.  And some say taking them out is too dangerous... How much of this is also in our heads?

Best wishes,

I'm quite skeptical myself, but always reamin very open minded to the truth in the possibility... Don't get me started... Come to your own conclusions.......

does that website look like a reliable source?

theres a doc in my area from that website

I am looking into having mine removed but even the some of the composites are hormone disrupters due to Bisphenol A (or BPA) a high-volume industrial chemical. Look for BPA free sealents and composites.
Galeron

It looks fine to me.

The real question is whether the dentist is reliable.  Research as much as you can about safe procedures for proper removal of dental amalgam and then inquire with the dentist you see about their process for removing the amalgams and see if it aligns with what you've identified to be the best practices for removing amalgam.  This should help you to assess their level of competence on the subject and whether you feel comfortable with having them perform the removal.

You're on the right track.  It will all fall together, in time.  As Avalon suggested, don't panic and make any rash and hasty moves.  Read and educate yourself on the subject as much as possible so as to prepare yourself for the best outcome.

Galeron, how come you are so interested in amalgam fillings? Do you have them yourself?

Also do you know if there is any truth to the vegan statement that simply eating cilantro (IMO one of the most disgusting plants ever) actually removes mercury from your body?
adwred

I effing love cilantro! Yup
Avalon

My thoughts exactly! I LOVE CILANTRO! OMG!
Plasma

i'm not so sure about the risks involved with getting them removed..

we have been using mercury fillings for how many years now?

theres a lot of risks getting them removed, the doctor could make an error( even the best doc can make errors)

theres a chance im completely detoxing the mercury from my teeth now.. i just don tknow

1) No, I do not currently have any dental amalgams, thank goodness.  I did previously have several amalgams in my 'baby teeth.'  And my mother had amalgams in her teeth prior to conceiving me and while carrying me to term.  Thus, I strongly believe that I acquired a mercury burden from day 0.

I'm interested in amalgams because of their connection with human exposure to mercury.  I am interested in mercury because I am currently undergoing a treatment program that has identified mercury in my system, and right now we're concentrating on removing mercury that has been identified in my bone marrow.  This has profound implications on the immune system due to haemotopoiesis, among others.

2) I personally have not put much research into Cilantro being used as a chelating agent to remove mercury and other heavy metals from the body.  The reason for this is that removing heavy metals from the body and brain (which Cilantro is most likely unable to do - the brain that is) is a very very delicate process, which should be done in a controlled fashion and with appropriate organ support.  If not done in a controlled manner, you risk the potential for redistribution of mercury in the body if it is not able to be removed properly once it has been mobilized by the chelating agent (in this case, cilantro, supposedly).

I would imagine it would be very difficult to administer Cilantro in a controlled fashion, at least as well as other forms of chelating agents.  Even one of the most notorious mercury detox doctors doesn't even know much about cilantro and its chelating ability, because he's identified other agents that have proven ability to safely chelate in a controlled and low-dose frequent modality, including the brain.

Long story short, chelating mercury from the body and brain takes a loooooong time.  Don't be fooled by thinking that eating a little cilantro every day is going to 1) remove all the mercury in your body, and 2) keep you mercury free.

For only about 150 years now.  And look at the incredible decline in health that has followed (and yes, I recognize that not just mercury from dental fillings is the only reason).  Additionally, just because we've been using them for a long time is not adequate justification to conclude that it is safe.  This rational is totally over-simplistic.

Quote:
Incredibly, the ADA receives money (i.e. what might be seen as bribes) from amalgam manufacturers in the so-called ‘Seal of Acceptance program’ in return for endorsing mercury fillings23 – an arrangement which would be totally against the code of ethics of the American Medical Association, not to mention any other remotely trustable medical group. This is part of a long sad history of dental associations putting money over ethics – mercury was originally forbidden in 1845 by the American Society of Dental Surgeons for ethical reasons, and dentists were fined or suspended if caught using mercury fillings, and termed "quacks". By 1856 this society became marginalized by dentists wishing to save money, because mercury was cheaper. It disbanded, and the ADA formed in 1859 in opposition. This new association not only withdrew the ban on mercury – a change neither necessary nor warranted – but proceeded to defend their territory by clamping down on dentists who still criticised placing mercury, a known deadly poison, in the mouth. Hence for nearly 150 years the ADA has not only prohibited rejecting mercury for toxic reasons in favour of alternatives, but also even discussing possible dangers with patients so they can make an informed decision – let alone replacing amalgams with less toxic fillings, an act which has caused dentists in diverse states to lose their licence to practise. Ironically, the term "quack", now sometimes used to ridicule mercury-free dentists, was originally coined for nineteenth century doctors who used "quack-salver" (mercury) as a medical treatment – hence by the same logic, most modern dentists could themselves be termed "quacks" for using mercury fillings. They also make far more profit placing amalgams than it is normally possible to make as a mercury-free dentist, since placing "white" fillings generally requires both more time and skill – amalgams are notoriously easy and fast to insert into the oral cavity, hence their financial appeal.

This doesn't seem logical to me.  It seems like an acceptable risk to take given the prospect of things to come should you choose to keep your amalgams in place indefinitely.

Unlikely, IMO.  How can you consider this in light of the fact that your endocrine systems are not showing signs of functioning up-to-par?
