I do not have amalgams. But I have had massive problems after being in a dental office and getting respoisoned up the eyeballs. I was told recently by a dentist I trusted that his office was clear and I would be safe. I have cavitations so I needed to see a dentist to get this rectified.

After seeing him, I came home and was so ill, I was beside myself. I told him I would like to avoid visits, but he insisted I need to see him for evaluation and testing, plus supplement programme.

He will not do my cavitations because I'm too ill and he wants me healthier. Now that I've seen him, I'm worse than ever and am struggling with severe symptoms.

a few months later? the symptoms are changing and intensifying further. I am now in a stupor most days and do not want to live or eat. I itch my face, my ears and my eyes are clouded and almost darkish or greyer looking and normally they are light blue. The depression is so bad, I've thought of ending my life.

My Dad looks after me and I'm almost incapacitated. All this from a consultation in a dental office. This office was not only NEW, it was fitted with a sophisticated extraction system by a mercury free dentist who only did removals. He claimed his office was clear and kept clear by this extraction system.

Now I am so ill, I can't do anything. I even made sure when I saw him, that I had the first appointment after the weekend, so that his office would have the weekend to clear even further.

How can I win? What causes this to occur? I should not have this happen, it's not normal and I am totally devastated. I'm trying to take DMSA, but not noticing it's helping me.

Do others get this on here?

Hi there. Sorry for your problems. Are you sure that the dental office has been your only exposure to mercury? It's been used in vaccines, can be very high in fish like tuna, aswell as thimerosal having been in other things. There are a couple of people on this forum who got poisoned from fish.

Cavitations are a serious issue and I personally would think they would need cleaned out ASAP as those bacteria in the cavitation can produce some insanely toxic substances that damage the body incredible.

Hal Huggins mentioned how people with cavitations were nearly always sicker than people with amalgam fillings if I remember correctly.

No I have had no other exposure to mercury whatsoever. I eat no fish, I have no vaccines etc.

Yes, I feel the cavitations are causing the problems, but I am so sick I cannot even do anything anymore and the recent dental office exposure to mercury vapor has annihilated me.

I am trying to receive help from a dentist in USA (I live in new zealand) who is going to see if he can get me right from where I am. He reckons I won't need to get cavitation surgery done. He believes in what he uses to help the body heal the cavitations itself. I do not know what to believe, but am desperate.

You said you don't have amalgams. Do you have any type of filling in your mouth at all?

Also, have you had the flu shot?

Do you have tattoos?

Do you live near a coal-burning power plant?

Do you ingest NutraSweet (Crystal Lite, etc.)?

Do you eat much sugar or coffee or soda?

The reason I ask these questions is that you may have already been mercury toxic and the exposure at the dental office put you over the edge.

There is a cause for everything. Keep searching by observing your symptoms and looking for patterns. Let us know if you learn anything new.

Hi Russ,
I am still mercury toxic after years without amalgams. I retain mercury and do not excrete it. Chelation is a nightmare for me, but is the only way to begin lessening this.

I have never had a flu shot. I do not live near a coal burning plant. Never had nutra sweet (never will). Do not drink coffee and do not eat sugar, or soda. Only occassionally do i cheat on my diet, but very rarely. Mainly I eat things like meat, vegetables, eggs, yoghurt, raw nuts, herbal tea, water etc. Gets tedious, but sometimes one has to go to extreme lengths to try and lessen some of the symptoms. Doesnt always work though.

I always had mercury poisoning symptoms, but was healing until i developed a viral infection in 2003, then I plummeted more (never recovered from it) and the mercury still in me suddenly became much more of an issue. Then, I had visits to dental offices for wisdom teeth removal and that's when all hell broke loose and I suffered from the vapor exposure severely and could not heal from it, plus other distressing symptoms along with the mercury, possibly from cavitation development.

Yes, I think being mercury toxic already, plus cavitations, plus the viral infection hurting my immunity, a dental office visit suddenly becomes a danger to me. It shouldn't, it's not normal, but this is how it is now. I know it was vapor because I was experiencing symptoms a few hours after the visit that were frightening and very mercury related, giggling spells, severe depression, itching and burning in the face, crying/salivating etc. Once upon a time, a visit to a dental office never used to do a thing ot me. Now? It's a nightmare.

Thanks I am trying to find out exactly what is doing what, but I assume it's all combined and all doing their own thing. I've never been able to excrete toxins properly, but things have gotten far worse in recent years.

I am at the moment taking very low doses of DMSA 12.5 mg every 4 hours. I don't know if this will help, but I feel I do need to do "something" in the meantime to try and lessen the toxic load a bit.

I'm very sorry to hear about this. It must be horrible. I cannot stand the symptoms of mercury toxicity. It nearly ruined my life before my amalgams were removed.

I did have an idea that you may want to consider:

You may want to try N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) to raise glutathione levels in the cells. Glutathione is, of course, the main defense cells have against mercury. Following is some information:

anonymous, the vapors in your dentist's office could very well have poisoned you. Even if he claims he has an extraction unit- it may not be working like it should. If he is a holistic dentist that does mercury removals- the drilling out of metal fillings from previous patients causes the mercury vapor to hang around in the air. I think your dentist should have had a fan in his office for even better ventilation!!!


I noticed that on my last filling removal ( i had 8 fillings removed two at a time one month at a time) that my eyes were bloodshot and I was extreemly drowsy- nearing passing out because I didnt get enough ventilation. I had to turn the car fan on in my car and breath into it with deep breaths before I could start driving again.

I had a bottle of canned saline solution (for contact lense wearers) in my car and I squirted it in my eyes and kept washing my eyes out with it. I pluggedt a plug-in fan in my car's cigarette lighter and breathed into that while I was driving home too.

After I got home , I immediately took a shower. Throught the day I kept breathing deeply to get more oxygen in me.

This helped me, but I saw how a person can become overwhelmed from mercury vapor just from sitting in the dentist's office.

I also read that some dentists experience severe depression- and I link that with mercury exposure!

Mercury vapor -- from what I read in Hal Huggiins book, "It's all in Your Head", is the worst type of mercury that quickly hurts the body.

Hi, thanks for your post. Yes, mercury vapor is the worst. It can go straight in and up the nose, into the sinuses and anywhere it wants. For those of us weakened already and intolerant and sensitive, this can be enough to tip a person over the edge.

This dentist, who claims to have a clean office with his extraction system, isn't facing reality. This reaction was severe and it only took a few hours to begin.

Though most people might not notice anything, I am not one of those. I wish I was.

Hmmm... I'm really not sure where to go from here.

Do you have any thoughts as to what you may do next?

Hi Russ, nto sure what to do at the moment. My symptoms are very bad and spending most days crying and salivating uncontrollably into a bowl (sounds lovely I know). This is what I get when I get exposed to mercury, or I take something to try and remove it. I keep waiting for improvements, but I seem to remain ill regardless.

I'm awaiting some supplements that are supposed to be very good and are food based (standard process), in order to help my body and hopefully I'll be able to respond. I feel I'm at such a low point, my body is simply not even using or responding to basic supplementation. I seem to get nowhere.

Please keep trying and let us know what happens with the new supplements you're trying.

If you find out what works for you, you will likely have gained the knowledge that will help save others from the terrible suffering you're going through.

I know that doesn't help much now, but when you are better (I'm optimistic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ), many may benefit and be saved from much suffering because of you.

"There is a cause so there is a solution."

Hi Russ, thanks for you vote of confidence. I have lost 19 years to this illness so far. Was improving once, but since wisdom tooth removal and other issues, my body seems no longer to respond.

Yeah, I try sometimes to use my experience or (bad mistakes) to help or warn others if I can. I can't quite believe the suffering this thing is capable of causing. It makes me so angry, but not a lot one can do but pass on help to fellow sufferers, as you have done.

I will definitely keep you posted about the supplemetns and response (or lack of).

Hi, I really think tou shouldn't do anything, BUT see a Naturopathic Dr.....I was just as ill as you(couldn't get out of bed for 6 months), And I tried things on my own, and only made my self sicker...A good naturopath can test your body, and will figure out the root of your problem,,....and give you things that your body deperately needs to heal....instead of playing Russian roulette.....Take care, Sandra P
