From Dr Hesham El-Essawy.
SoSick is saying:
“I was wondering, if Hesham uses a water spray, like I suppose he needs to, but doesn't use a rubber dam or similar, then what keeps the water (mixed with bits of amalgam/mercury) from going down the patient's throat? A little bit of cheesecloth or gauze won't stop mercury. I'd prefer transparent plastic goggles so I can see my surroundings. I get claustrophobic when confined for too long.”
Well, SoSick, I cannot imagine any dentist Not using a coolant water spray with his high speed drills, and you will be extremely happy to know that I use a copious supply of PURE water as a coolant.
I also use very special burs to cut with, which are manufactured for that purpose and which I was so fortunate to have found.
Perhaps I should have mentioned also that part of what we do is to use HIGH VOLUME SUCTION TIPS with at least three hoses in the mouth, have a suction tip that is modified by hand to hug the tooth very carefully and takes away almost all of the refuse that is produced.
In this context I have to pay tribute to my extremely competent and artistic nurse who worked with me for the last thirty one years, and who independently of me has devised ways of doing her job beautifully.
SoSick also seems to object to using a gold mask to protect the patient’s eyes and nose from mercury vapour, and prefers ‘a transparent plastic goggles instead’!
The gold mask is for the patient’s protection as it will not let any mercury vapour through, and the question of “claustrophobia” does not arise as the patient will be asleep at the time. Reaction to gold is also Vega tested for beforehand and I am yet to come across any patient who is intolerant to gold in my practice. In any case, it is not the gold part that touches the patient’s skin.
SoSick also suggests that “A little bit of cheesecloth or gauze won't stop mercury”, and I assure him that we do not use cheesecloth in our process as we do not manufacture any cheese.
What we use does in fact stop mercury as we check the mouth after the work is done and the barriers are removed and we always find that the patient has been ‘zeroed’ as far as mercury is concerned. No patient leaves our office before being zeroed. This is reflected in the results that we find which is almost invariably an improvement that starts soon after the amalgam removal. That would not have happened if there was any mercury left in the teeth or the mouth, nor if the patient had inhaled or swallowed any mercury.
He also says that I do “root canals” as if that is a valid accusation. It is not that you do something; it is how you do it that matters. We have devised a method for root canal treatment that benefits from current technological advances in which the tooth, not just the root canals, are sterilized using a mixture of ozone, singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, antibiotics, bactericidal agents, heat of 282 degrees centigrade in a circumference of 2 mm, and the power of a long term calcium hydroxide that has a PH of 12. Our method involves; a. removal of toxins. B. complete sterilization of the tooth. C. obturation with bio-comp. materials. We fill the canals only when they test negative with our Topaz test that tests for the presence of toxins and bacteria. It takes us about NINE HOURS SPREAD OVER ONE YEAR to finish one root canal treatment. So, it is not if, it is how you do root canals that matters.
Frankly, the irritating thing about SoSick’s postings is that he is so ignorant of his material yet so audacious in proffering it.
What irked me in particular, and also irked the great lady Lynn (who has done more selfless service to help mercury toxic people than anyone I know, including myself, and who deserves to be greatly honoured), was that SoSick made matters appear as if any patient who happen to be a Christian or a Jew, and who dares come to me, a Muslim, for treatment, runs the risk of having his throat cut with my sword rather than have his amalgam removed! It was that that drew me into a discussion of religion on a forum not meant for that purpose; for he was saying that it is my religion that commands me to kill Christians and Jews! Such ignorance! Such audacity!
As Russ has so kindly and so rightly alluded to, it is being conscious of one’s accountability to the Supreme Being that drives one to do his very best for every one. Far from commanding the killing of Jews and Christians, Islam commands treating them very well with the utmost of justice and compassion. War in Islam is strictly limited to self-defense, and when someone attacks you, you are perfectly entitled to defend yourself in almost any book.
In fact, about 90% of my patients are Christians and Jews, and they all hold Marcia and me in very high esteem, and we do regard them all as our dear friends, not just as our patients. We have a motto in our practice that goes like this; “He who is sitting on our dental chair is our king”.
Also, SoSick, you say that my website is mostly about my faith! Are you sure that you were looking at the right one?
Finally, I take nothing away from any of the pioneers who work in this field and who started the awareness of the problem. I salute and honour every single professional who makes it his vocation to rid patients of this scourge called amalgam. I am only trying to move the process along and build on previous experiences, theirs and ours, and stay on course in pursuit of perfection for the good of our long suffering patients, some of whom are in the horrible position that I was in a few years ago.
I have not kept my protocol secret as he suggested, I put it on the net 17 years ago, and I did that again on this forum. Nothing will give me greater pleasure than to see all dentists use it in ridding their patient’s from this horrible toxin called mercury amalgam.
