I too am interested in knowing if anyone has tried PCA-Rx and/or PC3X? Claims to be a detoxing spray which bonds itself to only toxic heavy metals with no side effects? Product details such as they are are located at http://ssl.maxamlabs.com/MAXAM_ASP_ViewProduct_LongDescription.asp?ProductINDX=47 for PCA-Rx , and http://ssl.maxamlabs.com/MAXAM_ASP_ViewProduct.asp?ProductINDX=1003 for PCA3X. The product seems to have around since about 2002? The reason I ask is I've recently started with a new Doctor to manage and support my health (I have a number of health conditions, sensitivites and allergies). Previously I was with a wonderful Doctor for almost 7 years but unfortunately he retired 6 months ago.The new Doctor has asked me to look at the PCA-Rx and PC3X which she described as very gentle. She seems to be suggesting using it immediately (while Amalgams still in situ). I have another appontment with her in just under a week's time and need some more info on this product to make a decision on whether to risk it or not. I am currently on a number of Vitamins and supplements (some prescription +some over the counter) which my former Doctor and I arrived at through years of painstaking trial and error that was most beneficial and which I could tolerate. I am very cautious in changing that regime. Presently we are dealing with hormone imbalances due to Menopause and Hypothyroid and I am on hormone replacement for both. as well as being on DHEA supplements for some years.
My ill health started suddenly when I had to have my Gall Bladder removed in March 2000. I was also in the middle of having 2 tooth coloured crowns done over composite fillings . In fact I went into hospital with a temporary crown in situ! I now know that both crowns have a Gold+Alloy (unable to identify as Dental Lab no longer exists) substrate. Well I now know and you probably already know what having different metals in the mouth does (increases oral galvanic current=speeds up release of Mercury=more toxicity=more health problems).
I am currently trying to get myself stable and as well as possible before considering replacing my 10 amalgam fillings plus an older crown approx 20 y.o. which (probably) has an amalgam filling underneath it. To complicate things further I apparently also need 5 new cavites filled and one wisdom tooth extracted.
Unfortunately it is beginning to look like I will have to travel thousands of miles in order to access a Dentist willing, experienced and proficient enough to safely do so. I live in Perth and have only found two Dentists in Australia (one in Sydney and another in Brisbane) who advertise that they do Dental Revision and explain the protocols they use.They are Dr Eric Davis http://www.ericdavisdental.com/ and Dr Robert Gammal http://www.bcd.com.au/MainContact.htm. Forum members could you take a look and tell me what you think of the info and procedures on their sites?
A visit to a local Dentist Dr Geoffrey McNeil who I was told did the Hal Huggins Protocol training and is also supposed to be personal friends with Hal Huggins revealed that the only protocol he used was a rubber dam?!?! He also said after a very basic exam (no Xray or Digital scan) and patient history that he had never taken out more than 5-6 Amalgams from one patient and that in my case he was not willing to do so as I was TOO SENSITIVE. Well to that I say "Yeah, no !!! That dang-blasted Mercury will do that to ya. Isn't that why y'all need to get the dang-blasted poison out?????".
Further enquiries threw up the name of another local Dentist Dr George Papadopulas. I haven't actually seen him nor does he have a website but his office staff advised he uses a rubber dam, uses OPG (Digital Scan), can arrange separate patient oxygen supply and I.V. sedation. He relies on a separate business to do oral galvanic readings (no ONSITE machine) and Electro-Dermal Compatability Testing (NOT Serum testing). However he is willing to remove a MAX of 2 Amalgams at a time with a MINIMUM of a month in between, whether I.V. sedation used or not. This would necessitate some 9-10 months of continuous appointments to complete the replacements and the new dental work required, including getting new galvanic readings inbetween removals. It would also mean a much greater (repeated) exposure to local anaestheics a number of which I am either allergic or sensitive to already. I would then have to wait some months before attempting Mercury Detox.
My understanding is this all goes against Hal Huggins recommendation of preferably in one day (under general anaesthetic or I.V. sedation) or otherwise 30 days? And IAOMT recommends 4-6 weeks for best results. I'ver searched online and some on line forums suggest up to 6 months- 9 to 10 months is just ridiculous!
In addition I would certainly not have my Wisdom tooth extracted under a local anaesthetic as blythely suggested by Dr McNeil as 'not a problem'. Last time I needed a Dental anaesthetic I ended up with 3 injections of the 'normal dose' (I have Fibromyalgia which amplifies pain).
I would be grateful for any comments, feedback, advice, etc regarding the PCA-Rx and PC3X products and the Australian Dentists mentioned. If anyone has experience or knowledge of a Perth, Western Australia Dentist who follows protocols please let me know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
