Mercury fillings extraction..anyone done it?

Cyberman60

Yes, the body does detoxify itself to an extent, but there are factors that may reduce the efficiency such as low cholesterol and kidney damage due to high blood pressure.

Many people seem totally unaware of the toxicity of mercury. It has been banned in amalgam fillings in many countries, and even in the UK filters have recently been added to crematoria to stop mercury emissions from cremation. My own calculations were that 11.5 kilos of mercury were expelled from a crematorium annually from near my deceased brother's house.

One gram of mercury is enough to totally poison a large lake but we have on average 3 grams of mercury fillings in our teeth. If a thermometer breaks in a school that school has to be evacuated for safety reasons.

Also, dentists are one of the riskiest occupations for motor neuron disease. Others are beauticians, firemen and photographers. Heavy metals would appear to be the culprit.

Where is this data that dentists are at high risk of mnd? Anecdotally I know an awful lot of dentists working and retired. I can't think of any with /had mnd

By pure coincidence I received this email today which answers the OP's question on safe removal and also gives good reasons to do it !!

To say Dr Mercola is a controversial figure is a bit of an understatement. For an alternative view on him http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/mercola.html

Or try googling. By no means does he have mainstream views .

Thanks Brook2jack for that detailed information..the expense concerns me as does the danger of removing something that can cause more problems than if it was left alone!

I appreciate different points of view..I was concerned as I knew I had swallowed some bits of filling and my illness seems to be linked to possible mercury poisoning..

I think that they call this wishful thinking!

Don't waste your money on this because it will not fix anything.

Life would be much easier if there was a straight forward cause and treatment for M.E.!

There is and there will be and I predict it won't be all that far away. I am exploring a few avenues ATM for the best thing to do to make it known. Mercury has nothing to do with it!

p.s. your body is a finely tuned detox machine. There is no need to do extra things to "detoxify"! Every second of every day your body detoxifies quite happily on its own. We have been on this earth a long time and have managed the entire time without these detox ploys often peddled.

I know that CFS/FM is not caused by Mercury or Amalgams but I do disagree about what you say about the body happily detoxing by itself. Unfortunately it is not as easy as that. Poor diet frequently does not provide the necessary nutrients for the bodies detox and anti oxidant systems, collectively called glutathione, to function effectively. Important nutrients which are necessary for the bodies anti oxidant and detox systems are very frequently lower than they should be to cope effectively with the current toxic load that everyone is exposed to. On top of that people often drink heavily which further burdens the body when it is already heavily stretched.

That is even before genetic abnormalities are taken into account. Nutrients can affect these aspects considerably because there are alternative methods of disposing of these toxins if there are sufficient nutrients to do it.

There are also all the extra toxins which people are exposed to every day which they were not exposed to a thousand years ago or 100 years or 50 years because it's getting worse all the time. Pesticides, preservatives, colourings, all those E numbers and countless other things which have only started being added to the human diet in the past 50 years.

Increased Intestinal Permeability Syndrome (aka Leaky Gut) is another burden that some people, such as CFS/FM sufferers, are burdened with which taxes every body system, including the detox, antioxidant and immune systems. This is the biggest problem for CFS/FM sufferers and what needs to be solved. However I don't recommend that you try all the supplements which claim to treat leaky gut because they are all a waste of time IMO because they do not and cannot fix the cause.

I haven't had it done personally, but I know someone who did, feeling convinced it would solve her M.E. problems. Sadly, it didn't. It made no difference at all.

I solved my own M.E. by doing Mickel Therapy and don't feel my multiple mercury fillings had anything to do with it. That's just my own opinion and experience though and I know that others will have theirs.:)

I would avoid this after what I read on that site. It is definitely not a cure for CFS/FM and sounds more like putting a plaster on a wound and hoping that it heals itself. It won't! It will never get rid of the cause of CFS/FM that I can guarantee. You have far more chance by taking common kitchen herbs.

It's great that it worked? for you but I would not go near it. Money and drain come to mind.

Indeed, but unfortunately mainstream views are politically financed with vested interests such as the need to deny all culpability to avoid class actions. Mercury is a neurotoxin and that cannot be denied but of course people still do.

EG: For years the airlines have denied for instance that 'fume events' on aircraft ot exist but only yesterday years after setting up the Aerotoxic Association it has at last been accepted that some pilot deaths have been due to fume events on commercial aircraft !!

Simply read the story of the woman in the article. You are effectively saying that she is lying. To me you are in denial of the truth that she has been cured by extraction of fillings followed by a detox regime. This is not the only circumstantial evidence that I have come across that the procedure works so this article only serves to reinforce my views.

Haha behave. That's simply not true and utter nonsense. I worked as a lab tech for a few years in a large secondary school and I can tell you if that was the advice there would be a school closure once a week.

Mmm not sure about the dangers of amalgam fillings, I have a fair few that have been there nearly 30 years, dont want to go to the hassle of looking at getting them removed.

Also I read the story of the lady with MS who thinks she is cured by removing her fillings, but my first thought was that she probably has relapsing remitting MS and maybe she is just in a quiet phase of the MS? who knows? but MS is an auto-immune disease, I am not sure I would link it with fillings:question:

Fillings can sit there for years and on the face of it cause no problems while you are fit and healthy but every time you chew, micrograms of mercury from amalgam fillings are digested and may or may not be excreted from the body.

As we get older though our immunity weakens and we become more susceptible as toxins have built up over the years in our brains, liver, kidneys etc. Better to remove a toxic source from one's body now while having good immunity than wait for the overload to happen IMO which could cause Parkinsons, ALS etc.

Incidentally, not many may know it but heavy metals are/were also existing in vaccines (mercury as an anti-bacterial (thiomersal) is still used in flu vaccines, and aluminium is now often used instead) while mercury was also used as an anti-bacterial in contact lense solutions.

Well, it was in a documentary I recently viewed and probably relates to the USA but I assure you I'm not making it up.
