Immunity - mercury fillings

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here had any mercury fillings removed and if so, how has this

affected your health?

I broke a tooth this week, one that has a large mercury filling. I have had

massive headaches ever since. I am coming to the conclusion that this is the

result of the mercury exposure from the tooth breakage. I am also having many

more problems with my sinuses this week. I am so stuffy right now and haven't

changed my way of eating which is about 70-80% raw with no dairy.

Do you think that the mercury is my problem?

Any advice on this matter is appreciated.

I have made an appt. with a holistic dentist for Fri. morning.

Thanks a bunch,

Valerie

Hi Valerie,

I'm afraid this makes rather scary reading but I thought you might want to

know. The technical references are to radionic-type energy testing devices.

It's from

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0722538235/qid=1042746505/sr=1-1/re

This doesn't necessarily mean that the problem is your fillings but it's

pretty telling I would say.

Good luck,

Manoj

PS if you would describe the holistic dentist's intervention I would

appreciate it.

 

.... " Then there is the mercury story. Just over a decade ago, most of us were

still to be convinced of the problem of biological intoxication with

mercury. Official bodies such as the British and American Dental

Associations deny it still. As I said in my last book, gram for gram,

mercury is one of the most toxic substances known to humanity, and it is

arguably the most serious environmental pollutant we are creating for

ourselves. Unfortunately mercury, especially in the methyl or chloride forms

which have great biological penetration, has a special affinity for brain

tissue. Most people know that the expression 'mad as a hatter' comes from

the fact that twitching and dementia were once common among hat

manufacturers and were due to poisoning with the mercuric nitrate used for

curing felt hat bands. The first health scare of modem times was the

discovery that in the 1950s children who were dying of pink disease were

being poisoned by mercury in 'teething powders'. Then, in 1953, the

inhabitants of the Japanese fishing port of Minamata began to fall ill with

a mysterious illness which caused twitching, mental confusion, difficulty in

speaking and eventually paralysis. Autopsy showed considerable brain damage

and the agent was discovered to be mercury. A nearby factory was dumping

mercuric waste into the bay, which contaminated the fish stocks. It was

concentrated in the food chain and reached deadly levels before being eaten

by humans.

 

Despite all this, the dental profession continues to insist mercury is

somehow non-toxic when you put it in your mouth! There is considerable

hypocrisy about this, however; the instructions to dentists for handling

mercury leave no doubt that it is harmful to dentists -even though it is

supposed to be safe for patients. Advice to the profession includes storing

it under water, not touching it by hand, providing adequate air extraction

to eliminate the toxic vapour, and so on. Generally it is illegal for

dentists to allow fluids contaminated by mercury to be sent into the sewage

system. Filters or extractors are required.

The official argument was once that mercury remains firmly in the teeth and

cannot spread to other tissues. Then in 1989 a team of doctors in Calgary,

Canada, under Drs Hahn and Vimy, proved that the truth was very different.

Using radioactive mercury and placing fillings in the teeth of sheep, they

were able to show that mercury from fillings spreads allover a mammalian

body within hours. The official line then switched to saying that there was

no proven connection between mercury poisoning from amalgams and any known

disease. This is specious and dishonest. It is not the public's job to prove

there is a danger from mercury; it is the manufacturer's responsibility to

show that it is safe. There is no prospect of this being possible.

The reason that the precipitating role of amalgams in disease processes is

being missed is that doctors do not ask the right question: have you ever

visited your primary care physician with a complaint and been asked 'Have

you recently had any dental treatment?' Naturally, not. If doctors did check

this important point they would be shocked at how often the answer would be

yes.

What EAV doctors have been finding for years is that heavy metal overloads

are a common cause of pathology and, not surprisingly, mercury is the

godfather of all. Time and again mercury fillings are at the head of what I

described in Chapter 8 as Causal Chains. However, this is not confined to

mercury. Poisoning from other metals can occur. Sometimes the question is

one of sensitivity, rather than poisoning. We must accept what Nature tells

us, and on testing a male patient with the Acupro I found that the biggest

Indicator Drop pointed to danger from a gold-filled tooth and not the more

obvious opposing amalgam. Scanning the dental nosode list showed that this

patient was unusual in reacting to gold. I prescribed a homeopathic

detoxification treatment and, next day, the gold filling fell out. Clearly

it was rejected by the body, once given a little energetic help. The bemused

patient preferred to believe it was 'just a coincidence', even though the

tooth had remained in place for almost 20 years. "
