there is a lot of confusion regarding mercury

from a strictly scientific perspective the most lethal form of mercury

is when it is complexed with organic components, i.e. organic mercury

or methyl mercury, the kind that is found in food like fish

the kind of mercury used by dentists in amalgams is inorganic mercury,

which is comparatively inert (comparatively, but still not safe)

 

if your fillings aren't deteriorating then in my opinion its best to

just LEAVE THEM ALONE!

i have seen some patients that have been totally freaked out because

they have mercury/silver amalgams, only to invite very real physical

problems caused by mercury toxicity when they get them removed

 

if on the other hand the fillings are breaking apart then you will have

to get these out

 

the fillings in your teeth are relatively stable, and won't

dramatically increase your tissue levels of mercury

if on the other hand they are breaking down or especially if you decide

to get them drilled out you will be exposing yourself to high levels of

mercury

 

the act of _drilling_ mercury out of your teeth necessarily creates

mercury vapor, and this is absorbed by your mucous membranes and

inhaled, to be redistributed elsewhere in the body - this is especially

dangerous in children

 

it doesn't matter what methods conventional dentists use, such as a

barrier to prevent tiny drilled pieces from going down your throat

because we are talking about vapor here, and no matter what technique

you use you will be exposed to mercury vapor

 

there are a number of very important protocols to follow if you decide

to get them out - but you have to wait to use these AFTER you get them

out; these include DMPS (2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid) (given

by injection) and DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid) (given orally)

 

these are the only two agents that have been shown to effectively

remove heavy metals from the body, and should only be used under

experienced supervision (esp. DMPS) - if these are used while you still

have mercury fillings they will pull mercury from your teeth into your

blood, organs, bone and brain - when taking these however you must also

be taking a mineral supplement, because these compounds also remove

other vital minerals from your body

 

for maximum benefit supplements herbs that enhance detoxification (esp.

phase II liver detoxification) can be used in conjunction with these

therapies, including herbs that promote bile excretion (e.g. katuka,

turmeric, yellowdock) and diuresis (e.g. agnimantha, gokshura),

beneficial bacteria to ensure promote bowel elimination (lactobacillus,

bifidobacterium), sulfur-rich herbs/supplements like garlic/MSM to

support phase II detoxification, and antioxidants such as N-acetyl

cysteine (NAC) , L-leucine and glycine

 

other helpful herbs include "alterative" or "raktaprasadana" herbs, of

which the best are probably our chlorophyl rich allays such as nettle,

chlorella, and cilantro - i also include kelp as well

 

the idea of using cilantro for mercury toxicity (apart from its

chlorophyl content and traditional alterative properties) is actually

based on a product developed by Dragon River herbals, in which the

cilantro is grown to a background of Mozart's Last Requiem - Mozart of

course is believed to have been suffering from acute mercury toxicity

just before his death (interestingly enough because mercury was in

vogue as a medicine) - thus i am not sure how effective cilantro is if

it hasn't been prepared this way

see above - not strictly ayurvedic, but then neither is the problem of

mercury toxicity

 

> 2)Why in the alchemic and ayurvedic medicine the mercury is the

> principle of transformation...and now we know the dangerous effects?

> May be the alchemic process of killing mercury changes its nature?

 

from a strictly scientific perspective the preparation of mercury

bhasmas should actually make it more toxic, because it becomes

complexed with organic constituents - i am not trying to insult anybody

or the ayurvedic tradition but i see NO REASON to use mercury of any

kind when there are so many other helpful remedies and therapies

available - to me its like using a gun to remove a brain tumor

 

i also say this knowing that many ayurvedic practitioners have used

mercury safely - but in this day and age when truth and fiction are

hard to separate, when the true vaidyas of immense wisdom and knowledge

are far and few between, if you want to believe in the benefits of some

esoteric treatment try something like crystal healing - if it doesn't

work at least it won't kill you!

Thanks doulaminerva and Todd

For the first...fresh coriander is not available in Italy...

 

Yes , i know about DMPS and DMSA. Protocols too

IN THE LIST OF amalgamaemercurio

they speak always about that, but i see that for people il is not so easy to

find a doctor that knows well this therapy.

I would to know if it would be a natural way not a chimicall way to absorbe

mercury.

In nature all exists.

We need to search and to find.

 

Then Todd you say that what doulaminerva suggests is not enough....

 

 

Why in the alchemy mercury is the principle of transformation?

May be it is for the special treatment that it receives by an initiatic process.

It is killed in this original form...

i am sure fresh coriander is available in Italy - maybe it has a

different name - it is very easy to grow and from seed you will have a

crop in less than a month, depending on growing conditions

i bet Italian parsley would be helpful too, along with any fresh green

herb, e.g. basil/tulasi, oregano, nettle etc.

yes, but that i think you could agree that a personal philosophy may

only carry you so far

the problem is that humans have only recently exposed themselves to

many dangerous chemicals that are not naturally found in the

environment, at least not in high amounts

natural remedies alone are probably insufficient to deal with such

problems, but you can always try

use all the things i mentioned in my previous post except the DMPS and

DMSA

there is no hard data, no clinical trials to suggest the efficacy of

any natural intervention in mercury detoxification

we need to separate out theory from fact, and if there is mercury in

your body it is there, it is not a theory, and remedies theorized to

chelate and eliminate mercury may not actually pan out - to suggest

otherwise in my opinion is unethical because it may give false hope

 

if on the other hand you only suspect mercury toxicity or have

low-level intoxication then this is different - we probably all have

some degree of mercury toxicity and all of the remedies previously

mentioned are probably helpful - but if there is a risk of imminent

brain/kidney damage etc., you need prompt medical intervention along

with whatever natural treatments you choose

 

any licensed physician is allowed to administered DMSA and DMPS - if

anybody clearly has mercury toxicity they should be able to receive

treatment, if the drugs can be obtained

 

> Why in the alchemy mercury is the principle of transformation?

 

"mercury" is an alchemical term, like sulfur, salt etc., and did not

always literally mean elemental mercury

just like vata doesn't necessarily mean "fart" or "burp," but that

indeed can be a literal translation of the term

 

in some alchemical traditions mercury was thought to be one of the

primary components of earth, a unique proposition but very different

from how modern chemistry and physics views elemental mercury
