Hello everyone, new here.

Basically, I believe i have some of the classic symptoms associated with mercury/amalgam. Things like concentration problems and a poor memory. Other physical symptoms like alopecia areata, which have a loose connection with mercury or metal poisoning, i have also got.

I was happy to have the amalgam removal, but then learnt that composites release Biphenol-a or something like that, and this threw me off a bit. Apparently even holistic dentists say that composites if done right wont leak, but that just sounds like a normal dentist telling you amalgams wont leak because the mercury is locked in.

No material will ever be perfect but im finding it difficult to justify taking one poison out and putting a weaker one in. A lot of people here have obviously had the amalgam removal, were you guys not worried by the alternative fillings. No material be it composite, ceramic or porcelain is apparently entirely perfect so how did you rationalise your choice?

Breathing the air is hazerdous to your health, but not breathing is much more hazerdous! The best idea is to obsessively take care of your teeth and never get cavities, It is too late for us to do that though.

True ottoteh! But the mercury has to go!.. btw soon for my sake, i will have to extract all my teeth anyway for dentures.... as titanium screws is the worst you can go for... and root canals ain't good either.. but for now.. the plastics will do their job...
I don't like this either.... but.... well... call it selective ignorance if you will... amalgams be gone, at all costs... even bisphenol...

I can understand your concerns! But think of it this way. Not only is mercury one of the most toxic substances known to man, but it accummulates in the body tissues/organs/brain over time.

Mercury sets the stage for infections/candida to take place and be difficult to control. They all in turn can cause/contribute to multiple chemical sensitivity by their affect on immunity. I've had all of that and it's horrible. I only managed to control it by a good diet excluding sugars/glutens/yeast.

Also, apparently mercury causes other toxic metals and chemicals to build up and makes it difficult for the body to eliminate them. It also can damage the blood brain barrier and allow for more build up of toxins in the brain. It weakens the body to become highly suseptible to so many things. It is extremely toxic and this is why one MUST have proper protection during amalgam removal or they may get MUCH worse from severe/acute toxic exposure from much increased mercury vapor.

You can be tested for alternative materials, but I do not know how accurate these tests are. As you said, no material is ideal because they are foreign. But leaving amalgams in place is continuing the cycle and allowing more and more mercury to build up over time.

After protected amalgam removal, as you know, chelation is extremely important. That too should be done in a manner that rather than cause further harm, will help to eliminate this metal as safely as possible and keep symptoms somewhat "tolerable" throughout by reducing the risks of redistribution.

Btw, i have become more sensitive to raw garlic these days.. had a half bad redistribution case from eating raw garlic whole last week, fixed it some of it yesterday with an hour in the sauna! Have to sauna more and stay off the garlic for a while... raw that is anyway.... cooked is fine...

Amalgam / Mercury / Dental metals, Dental other chemicals, suck bigtime!
And revenge... noooooo nooooo noooo.. The only thing we can do is to clean our bodies and move on with a smile of superiority!

Btw, when i have mobilised too much metals around in my body using raw garlic, i get constipated for a while (weeks maybe), and that happens even while i use the squatting posture on the toilet as i always do now (3 months since i started now).. strange... merc sure is a powerful poison! Anyway i know that squatting helps rid my intestines and my body of the toxins more effectivly than not squatting!

Btw.. as Bex says... Diet is the most important thing! (Including herb with care), thereafter chelating and or sweating (sauna / showers)..

But i guess the most important factor of all is............... FAITH!!!
Faith in yourself, your body, and God / Jesus / Allah or whomever you turn to for strenght!

Using the sauna fixes the constipation issue btw... (I guess it lifts mercury from the intestinal hormonal control system or something.. via sweating or stirring up the poison so that the intestines can function temporarly for enough time to poop the poison out, and thereby better the intestince "permanently")....

I have been watching the news on the oil spill in New Orleans . They keep mentioning that the air is full of toxins such as benzene, xylene ,toluene and others because of the spill . My composite fillings expose me to higher levels of these chemicals and others than breathing the air in the gulf.
