Hi Dawn,

I'm glad your taking Demi's advise. She seems to be very wise and knowlegable. You don't want to experienced what I experienced. Even though my dentist was suppose to do the Huggins protical I can't understand why he did not put in the Diamondcrown or Diamondlite along with the Diamondlink (cement), and Diamondbond (I think this is the etching gel) from Biodent Labs. Instead he put in the filtrex supreme direct white composites. These particular composites have estrogen behaving substances called Bis-phenol A in them which can cause breast cancer and all kinds of hormonal problems. Iv'e heard that there are other white composites that even have flouride in them, I think these are called the Fuji composites. So I'm glad your persisting to get Diamondlite.

I also agree with Demi that it is not a good idea to get IV sadation. I was put to sleep for a 9 hour surgery and woke up with Lingual and Inferior Alveolar nerve damage. I would not wish this upon my worst enemy!!! This is dayly excusiating pain and numbness. Some people have even lost their taste. I heard of people who had this for 13 years and the pain was so bad that some have committed suicide over it. In the middle of the surgery, I remember waking up every time the dentist injected me with the needle about 5 times. If I were awake I could have said STOP; THIS HURTS!!! But I was helpless. My suggestion is to never get sadated if you can possible avoid it!!!

I never feelt comfortable about being sadated in the first place, but I had no choice. There was so much damage and bone loss, that about 5-8 dentist over a year and a half period were too scared to work on me in Canada and the U.S. This dentist was the only one that I know of that would not refuse to work on me. By the time I was going to have the surgery, I was very sick with mercury and heavy metal toxicity. It was told to me that it would be too much trauma on my body if I didn't get all the amalgams and other heavy metals all out at once while being sadated. Since time was running out and I feelt I was going to die within a few months, I decided to get the surgery.

Although I feel great as far as the Huggins safe protical for mercury and other heavy metal removal, I have to puree all my foods and eat them at room temperature. If food is too hot, too cold, has any sugar or salt in it, or is too hard, the pain would send me through the roof!!! Even brushing my teeth is painful!

Thank God that certain herbs and just with 2 acupuncture treatments, I found a great improvement compared to before. I need about 4 more treatments before most or all the pain is gone though. I noticed that most people who went on pharmaceutical drugs and/or had surgery are the people that got worse and for more years.

God bless you and I hope your experience will be a much better one!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
