I could replace my amalgams, given a dentist to use old style glass fillings like they did a short 8-10 years ago. But everywhere I go I get told we don't use that anymore and we don't keep it in stock. The one biologiocal dentist still uses it but the guy is such a pain to deal with. You have to book 3-4 months in advance for every thing, if you have an emergency (like I was in complete energency state all last spring) you are SOL, he won't give meporices for anything upfront, I was quoted a 475.00 inital appt fee ... a bit off the charts... and so anyway i ended up visiting other dentists for more opinions and by the end I was feeling better from chelating, having one really obnoxious old amalgam pulled and another half finsihed plastic filled suppose to be crowned tooth pulled too (so glad I did not attempt to finish that) etc.

Bex, I agree with you whole heartedly. It's a huge problem, dental materials and it'll make you pull your hair out.

My only point being, that it is possible to chelate with amalgams in. But following the cutler protocol may not be the best way to do it.

Yes of course it is best to not have amalgams. But it's often a big problem getting them out. If someone says they are sick, really sick, not just an occasional headache, insisting that they remove all their amalgams before chelating is cruel in my opinion. It is not good advice. It is not the advice anyone except Andy Cutler and his protoges are giving, far as I know. you just don't leave someone for dead because they still have amalgams Bex.

telling ya, I met a number of older folks with amalgams in who were chelating at that clinic and they were pretty happy campers. I met them face to face and if I hadn't met them there I would have never suspected they had ever been sick.

Also, considering everything including the environment, it might be wise for everyone to find a more natural method of chelating because you really should not use synthetic chelators for too long. and in this world, amalgams or not, chelation and detoxing is a good thing to be doing on an ongoing basis, before you get real sick.

all my teeth started feeling better during and after the IV chelation btw. i did not get any sense whatsoever that the chelation was pulling mercury out of the amalgams. I did greatly sense it was pulling mercury out my gums and jawbone that had accumulated there over the years.
