I have finally seen another dentist, and I had some vapour readings done. I can't remember all the results, but some of the individual teeth results were as follows (if I have written these out correctly, I don't know if they are supposed to be -0.040 etc). Anyway this was what I can remember.

-0.39
-0.25
-0.14
-0.11,
-0.03

I have another three fillings, but I can't remember what the readings on them were.

The highest is a root filling, so I am having that one out, and then the fillings replaced in order of toxicity.

If anyone knows about mercury vapours, I would be interested in how these reading compare to others.

I still have not had a diagnosis of mercury toxicity as no one will tell me if I am, but I am continuing to treat myself as though I am. I had to fill out a questionnaire and 40+ was chronic poisoning, and I scored mid 30's, so I really do think I am having problems. It would be just so nice to have someone agree, but I think that will not happen because no one will put their name to it while the government still endorses use of amalgams.

okay, looking at others postings, I think I should have written it as -0.039 etc?

All these reading were done without being asked to chew anything. So, would they have been higher if I had been chewing?

Bill said in his post that his whole mouth was -0.039 but that for me was just one tooth. Does this mean I am having constantly having high dosage? I can't remember the other results, but I think there was a -0.008 and possibly another over -0.010

HI DEMI THIS IS BILL, THE MERCURY VAPOR READING WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER IF YOU HAD CHEWED ON SOMTHING. THE DENTISTS I SAW SAID THAT WHEN YOU CHEW IT GRINDS ON THE FILLING CAUSING IT TO RELEASE MORE MERCURY VAPORS. MINE WAS AT .069 AFTER CHEWING GUM AND I ONLY HAD TWO FILLINGS IN MY MOUTH. MY DENTIST SAID THAT THE US SAYS THAT .050 IS ACCEPTIBLE WHILE EUROPE SAYS THAT .010 IS AN ACCEPTIBLE LEVEL. IN EITHER CASE THE BEFORE AND AFTER CHEWING READINGS WERE HIGH IN MY CASE.

Thanks, Bill. Where did you get the acceptable levels from? I've been trying to find them on the internet.

Adding up the vapour from each tooth, that must mean the level in my mouth was -0.092 and that's just from the readings I could remember. It has to be at least -0.10 therefore.

This is really confusing.

Unless I have totally got it wrong what I was hearing, lol. All I could hear for each tooth was something like "minus zero fourteen". I don't know how that would be written out.

Were these definitely vapor readings or could they have been voltage readings?

Hi Russ. I don't know. What do you think? He used some metal thing and then did a reading with something else.

What is the difference between the vapour and voltage?

I asked him if it was the vapour reading and he said yes, but maybe he misunderstood. Voltage might be more likely or I would probably be dead now.

HI DEMI THIS IS BILL AGAIN. IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION. I RECIEVED THOSE NUMBERS DIRECTLY FROM MY DENTIST.

Thanks, Bill.

Russ, what do the voltage readings mean?

A voltage reading is where the dentist will put actually use a voltage meter to read the voltage that is being generated by the filling in each tooth. This voltage is generated from a well-known effect of mixing different metals which literally makes a battery.

The voltage is usually read from the top surface of the filling to the base of the gums and is measure in microvolts (millionths of a volt).

This is important because, in order to give you the best chance of recovering. Here is some information I posted previously...

Physics dictates this: If you join two dissimilar metals, a voltage difference (potential) will be created on one metal versus the other. Because amalgam fillings contain dissimilar metals, they create a voltage just like a chemical battery. This voltage is normally measured by a microamp meter and is measured in microamps (0.000001 or millionth or 10 to-the-negative-6th [10^-6] of an amp).

To determine a quadrant-voltage, you add all the voltage readings in each quadrant of the mouth (upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, lower-right). The quadrant that has the highest (most) negative voltage should have it's fillings removed first. The quadrant with the second-highest negative voltage should have it's fillings removed second, and so on. If you follow this rule, (according to Huggins), you have an 80% chance of causing your body to begin to eliminate mercury via the urine by itself (without drugs or supplements). This increase in urine mercury is dramatic (as a before/after ratio) and usually occurs within 48 hours of removal of the last filling. Somehow, it seems the body knows (in 80% of cases) when the last filling is removed.

Huggins admits that he does not know what specific mechanism causes the body to enter this "mode" but the percentages were consistent in his experimentation as outlined in his book It's All In Your Head.

What Is Voltage?

Voltage is a difference in the actual number of electrons. Therefore, if you have a bunch more electrons at location "A" in reference to location "B", then location "A" is said to be "negative" (because electrons are negative, not positive) in respect to point "B". Often, point "B" will be called the reference point, or "ground", so you can say "point A is negative in respect to ground", or more often just, "A is negative".

Where Is Point "B"?

When having your filling voltage measured, "ground" is generally considered your gums near the point where the tooth makes contact with the jaw. Because of the conductive minerals in saliva, all of your gums are at the same voltage (they have the same number of electrons no matter where you measure). Therefore, a Dentist will normally place the "ground" probe anywhere inside your mouth touching your gums or the inside of your lip. The other probe will be used to touch the top of the filling itself. This enables the Dentist to measure the voltage between that specific filling and "ground" (the rest of your mouth).

Keep In Mind

You can typically expect readings between +5 and -15 microvolts. My father had a few extremely large fillings, one with -39 microvolts and another with -47 microvolts. The Dentist set back in his chair and looked at me (I was in the room during the voltage readings) as if to say, "WOW".

If a voltage is positive, this means that there are less electrons on the filling than at "ground". Many people get about 3 negative voltages for each positive or zero voltage, although this varies widely based on many factors.

You will also notice that a comprehensive Dentist will scrape the surface of the filling with the probe before taking a reading. The reason for this is to remove any corrosion that would insulate (block) the probe from making a good contact with the filling which would tend to falsely coerce the voltage reading toward zero (up if the true voltage was negative and down if the true voltage was positive).

Thanks, Russ. Do these voltage have an impact on our health? Or is it just the mercury vapour?

The voltages do affect health because the voltages travel from the amalgams to the jaw-nerves which happen to be connected to the motor-control center of the brain. This is why many with MS have immediate improvements in symptoms when amalgams are removed. The overloaded voltages to these motor-control centers of the brain are finally removed.

Thanks, Russ. Could this be why I have a tremor? i.e my hands are unsteady.
