Hi Truth,

What kind of biocomp testing did you have and who performed it? There are various tests one can get and sometimes it's wise to get more than one and compare results and take the materials which show to be ok on more than one test.

I have a serum test here that I had done many years ago which tested me against various materials, plus direct testing on aluminium/mercury/ etc. Though I did not test ok for some of those in direct form, I was ok with many materials that contained it, because of it being bound up.

From what I know about ceramics/porcelain, the components do not leach out as readily as they do in composites/amalgams, as composites/amalgam are softer. But yes, I'd say they still do regardless.

It does get very difficult I know. Like yourself, I had difficulties too and in the end, didn't know what to do because whilst one test would show ok, another might not. Plus, later testing might then contradict earlier "ok" results and show I was now "not" ok.

I can understand concerns regarding having direct metals in your mouth too. But with the test you had showing HIGHLY reactive to the materials you stated, I can understand your concern and dilemma. Thing is, you were tested in liquid form, and that may make the difference.

E.g. I have had testing done with Clifford labs (serum testing) and I was tested with chemical groups/families. Like yourself, I was shown to be reactive with the aluminium group (though zirconium showed negative/ok). However, when tested against the actual materials of all ceramics/porcelains (which most contain aluminium oxide), I showed to be compatible with nearly all of them. So though my body showed reactions to aluminium (direct), it did not seem to do so when exposed to a material that contained it.....perhaps because of the amount and the form these chemicals are in once they are contained within the material.

As I said earlier, I would tend to get further testing done (different testing) if you can and perhaps that might give you more options to weigh up and compare.
