Hi, This is my first post and hopefully I'm doing this correctly. Many years ago I had my mercury fillings replaced over time. Now, from another group on line, I am finding out that there still can be mercury sitting under crowns. I have had many crowns put on over the years. I have no idea what is under them and mercury can be hiding under the crowns. Does this really indicate that I cannot do the Cutler protocol until I take care of the crowns. This is something I cannot afford to do. I am very sick with 29 years of this disgusting sickness. Can anyone tell me if the crown situation is truly a problem and best not to do the protocol.
Thank you, Sheila

I wish I could tell you for sure. There is some debate about this, but it's generally believed that mercury can come through crowns and therefore chelating while they are in is discouraged.

But again, I would try to get an answer from Dr. Cutler before making a final decision.

If there is anything else we can help with, please just ask. Most mercury based health issues can be mitigated to some degree with supplementation while getting mercury removed.

For example, you may consider trying Algin.

I mailed Dr. Cutler and he said not to chelate w/o lifting crowns. Well, that is not an option. My entire mouth if full of them. A woman on another site said that her dentist was able to test levels of mercury with a piece of equipment. I am so afraid to chelate and move metal in my brain. I took care of my mom with alzheimers and that is concerning to me if I were to do something that would move more metal into my brain.
I wish there was just a way to neutrilize the heavy metals and take supplments and possibly give myself a quality of life worth living.
Can I use the Algin with safety if there is still mercury in my mouth?

Algin may very well help because it's not a chelator. It blocks redistribution of mercury which can stop some of it from being absorbed into body tissue.

It has helped many people that I've spoken with.

I'm not sure how much the crowns slow down the absorption of mercury into the body, but I'm sure they must have some effect because much of the mercury from fillings is normally brought into the body by simple off gassing.

If the crowns are "gold", they can accelerate the rate of mercury decomposition as many unlike metals do.

You may look into zeolite and see if there is information about it removing mercury without chelating it from existing fillings. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with it enough to speak intelligently about it, but I have heard and read good things about it in regard to mercury.

You can also work to mitigate each individual symptom using supplements. For example, mercury blocks magnesium which leads to craps, headaches, constipation, etc, so simple magnesium supplementation helps with these symptoms in many people I've worked with.

I think we've tried to make phone contact??? And if so, I'm sorry that we kept missing each other. You're welcome to try again after 7pm Sun thru Fri ET and I'll be happy to help however I can.

HI Shelia welcome to the club. Enjoy staying here and thanks for choosing this community.

Hi Shelia, (((( Smiles )))

Be glad that you have no gold in your teeth with mercury as..
I know people who do just that. My husband went to a regular dentist and had crowns put on after taking out the mercury fillings though I can still see some discoloration or maybe left over fillings through his crowns.
Mercury over the years can cause staining discoloration too in your teeth so not quite sure what it is for him...
But it sounds like a good idea as Russ brought up to replace in your body what mercury takes out like magnesium etc...
I have 8 big ones in my teeth of now and said to the dentist..
I do not want crowns now but want them filled instead bonded together and he said he could do that as my teeth seem's good enough taken care of in good shape of now.
Plus if I ever do have to get crowns want them over fixed filled better teeth and none over old mercury fillings that have cracks or is in bad shape in the teeth.
It has to be refilled anyway they are old fillings and not in good shape, another dentist told me that awhile back.
So, I think if my teeth are strong now maybe because..
I take lots of calcium but mostly magnesium swisk with oil of oregano in my mouth but have some receeding which I believe is caused by the mercury in my mouth..
But want a good base put in first then "IF" I need crowns later the base will be good. My teeth will be fixed.
Sorry you have gone through what you have gone through everybody reacts differently to mercury as my husband had them taken out by a regular dentist and he seemed to do O.K. with it maybe compared to another but one never knows how it may be effecting him internally.
But Chunking it out sounds good may be better for the teeth and less drilling and for me that's good!
It's terrible that they put in mercury in the first place but the supplemental health way for you may be good to do if nothing else.
Crowns can crack though and need to be replaced over time.
My husband has had to have a few replaced.
Nothing lasts forever right! We just do the best we can.

This is an interesting site. Russ may have placed it on the board somewhere else but want to save it to read it all later.

Glad you here!
