News you won't see in controlled mainstream media.

Hi everyone my name is Jess and I have been ill ever since getting an amalgam filling about 8 months ago.

It has recently occurred to me than amalgam may be my problem.

I have spoken with Russ and done a lot of research and have decided to safely plan amalgam removal.

My main questions here are about Detox. I don't want to harm myself any further and I don't feel like I can find a nearby doctor I can trust to help me through this. I want to be careful but I also want to take care of myself. I know many of you are more experienced with detox than I am.

I ordered Andrew Cutler's book but I want to be careful. I don't know how feasible it is for me to find safe DMSA and I would of course like to know much more about the drug before I decide to put it in my body.

When I spoke with Russ he said bananas and apples are a good way to chelate (I believe that is what he meant, although my mind feels a bit fuzzy about it all).

I'd like to do everything naturally,
but I also want to make sure I get detoxed and back on track.

Hopefully the safe amalgam removal will improve my state of health but no one can be sure.

If anyone can provide any information I would appreciate it.

As of now, I have about 10 chelation/mercury toxicity books in my Amazon inbox but I am holding off on ordering them so I do not overwhelm myself.

I just want to be better, and get rid of this nasty candida/brain fog/body-mind deterioration!

Thank you

Hello and Blessigns Jess,
We don't have many people who reply to posts as we did in the past. As you know, you can scroll back and read others 'testimonies' along the top, and scroll to what you might feel helps. But you did speak to the best person who knows about the Mercury toxicity. Russ Tanner is the Administrator and President here.

So, to the point, yes Mercury (amalgam fillings) is one of the most toxic metals. In fact the FDA was supposed to disallow it. I don't know what Country you are in, but you rarely find it used any longer in the U.S. If I were you, I would most definitely have it removed. Especially since you believe that is when your illness began. It should be replaced with a white ceramic type filling, (sorry forgot the name).
I can tell you from experience, I have about 4 metal/mercury fillings now. Because of other health issues I have not been able to have them removed. I use the DMSA; and also the ALGIN, sold right here on Russ' forum, <http://OnlyTheBestHerbs.com> And, yes I have the candida, which I was told was an allergy. So since not many Doctors even acknowledge the toxicity in mercury, my information comes right from this forum and it's referrals. Cutler's Protocol is the most read and used, and there is a PDF on here you can just print off.
I get the DMSA from Amazon.com, SUISSE Pharma. Each person needs to be treated as how severe the case may be. You don't really need to get all those books. The mercury should be removed, however. The DMSA binds to the heavy metals such as mercury and lead, mobilizing the ions for excretion. It is quite safe. (I take 125mg. twice daily.) The ALGIN= Absorbs Heavy Metal Ions, encouraging Bulking action for normal elimination. And yes, I also use the Yeast/Fungal Detox sold right here as well.
If I were you, Jess, I would get the appointment as soon as possible, asking if they are familiar with the safety of it's removal. That also can be handled incorrectly. Sorry to take so long. We are here for you, if you should have any other questions. I'll try to watch for you, if you want to reply. I am turning on the light, in case Russ would like to add to this. Strawberries also help chelate mercury.

Dental mercury endangers our health

The mercury in amalgam is a neurotoxin – and pro-mercury dentists are implanting it an inch from the brain!

Vulnerable populations – such as children, the fetuses of pregnant women, hypersensitive individuals, and people with kidney impairments – are known to be particularly susceptible to the neurotoxic effects of dental mercury.

That is why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s advisory panel on dental amalgam in December 2010 warned against the use of amalgam in vulnerable populations and insisted that FDA had a duty to disclose amalgam’s risks to parents and consumers. As panelist Dr. Suresh Kotagal – a pediatric neurologist at the Mayo Clinic – summed it up, there is “no place for mercury in children.”

The FDA panelists are not alone. Other countries are already working to protect vulnerable populations, especially children, from exposure to amalgam. For example:
The forty-seven nations of the Council of Europe passed a resolution calling on the nations to start “restricting or prohibiting the use of amalgams as dental fillings,” explaining that “amalgams are the prime source of exposure to mercury for developed countries, also affecting embryos, foetuses (through the placenta) and children (through breastfeeding). Exposure to mercury can seriously affect the health of patients and dental professionals, and early exposure to low doses of mercury (during pregnancy and through breastfeeding) increases the risk of a decrease in the intelligence quotient (IQ) among children.… According to the World Health Organization in 2005, certain studies show that mercury may have no threshold below which some adverse effects do not occur.”
Australia’s National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) says amalgam should be avoided in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and people with kidney disease. As the government of the state of Queensland explains, “Amalgam is now generally avoided for filling children’s teeth. Growing children tend to be more sensitive to the effects of exposure to any chemical substance in their environment…High level exposure to mercury (which is present in silver fillings) may affect the kidneys. Therefore, the NHMRC, suggest people with kidney disease may be more concerned than others to minimise exposure to mercury.”
Health Canada directed its dentists to stop using amalgam in children, pregnant women, and people with impaired kidney function – way back in 1996

Dental mercury endangers dental workers

It is known that the mercury from amalgam causes reproductive harm – dental mercury even crosses the placenta and accumulates in unborn babies.

Due to mercury exposure from amalgam in the workplace, dental workers – including dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants – are at particular risk for suffering reproductive harm. Studies have shown that dental workers have elevated systemic mercury levels. Many of these dental workers are women of child-bearing age, which makes them particularly susceptible to the occupational hazards associated with handling mercury.

Few dental workers employed by pro-mercury dentists are given protective garb or air masks to minimize their exposure to mercury. After all, they would look like astronauts with all that protective gear and that would scare off the patients (who have every right to be scared of mercury). Many dental workers are not even aware of the risks of occupational mercury exposure. As a result, dental workers have reported serious health problems – especially reproductive failures and birth defects caused by amalgam in the workplace.
Dental mercury endangers our oral health

On top of all the neurological, reproductive, and environmental harm caused by amalgam, it turns out that amalgam even endangers our oral health.

As a primitive filling material, amalgam can be detrimental to oral health. It is well known that placing amalgam requires the removal of a significant amount of healthy tooth matter. This removal, in turn, weakens overall tooth structure which increases the need for future dental work. On top of that, amalgam fillings, which expand and contract over time, crack teeth and create the need for still more dental work.

Superior modern alternatives preserve healthy tooth structure and actually strengthen teeth, leading to better oral health and less extensive dental work over the long-term.

What are the alternatives to amalgam?

Amalgam is interchangeable with numerous other filling materials – including resin composites and glass ionomers – that have rendered amalgam completely unnecessary for any clinical situation. Always choose non-mercury fillings!
