DENTAL AMALGAM MERCURY SOLUTIONS ........................... www.dams.cc
DAMS Intl.
Mercury causes significant destruction
of stomach and intestine
epithelial cells, resulting in damage to stomach lining which along with
mercury’s ability to bind to SH hydroxyl
radical in cell membranes
alters permeability (338,405,35,21c,2) and
adversely alters bacterial
populations in the intestines causing leaky gut
syndrome with toxic,
incompletely digested complexes in the blood (116,228b,35,6)
and
accumulation of heliobacter pylori, a suspected
major factor in
stomach ulcers and stomach cancer (256,6bc)
and Candida albicans,
as well as poor nutrient absorption (338,3).
Dental
amalgam has been found by thousands of medical lab tests and by medical studies
to be the largest source of mercury
exposure in most people who have several amalgam fillings(7). Replacement of amalgam fillings and metals
detoxification have been found to significantly improve the health of most with conditions related to bowel
dysfunction and leaky gut syndrome(8,9,302,303).
Other common causes or factors in leaky
gut and the related
conditions include food allergies and
intolerances; drugs(NSAIDs,
aspirin, stomach h2 blockers,
steroids,etc.); Dysbiosis( overgrowth of
harmful organisms due to antibiotic use
and/or low probiotic levels);
chronic alcohol consumption; synergistic toxic exposures and
chemical sensitivity; chronic infections;
inadequate digestive enzymes
(6b)
While
food allergies mediated by IgE can cause significant health
effects including leaky gut syndrome, these
are usually easily
identified by the immediateness of reactions
or skin tests. Food
intolerances mediated by IgG also commonly cause
significant health
effects including leaky gut syndrome, but
the reactions are delayed
and can be systemic and are harder to
identify. Tests based on IgE
such as skin test or RAST do not
reliably identify such problems that
are common factors in chronic health
conditions and tests such as
ELISA that measure both IgE and IgG
are more reliable. Common
causes of food intolerances include
failure to breast feed babies for at
least the first year of life, feeding
table food in first year of life, use of
antibiotics without adequate addition of probiotics; eating the same
foods every day(6b). Food intolerances
and food additives or
processed foods that contain glutamate,
aspartame, high-fructose corn
syrup, dyes, etc. are common causes of
leaky gut syndrome and
neurological conditions such as ADHD(6b).
Food
intolerances and IgG reactions lead to long lasting
“immune
complexes” that are factors in leaky gut
related conditions as well as
conditions such as Lupus, rheumatoid
arthritis,
ADHD, etc.
Inflammatory reactions to toxic metals, vaccines, food
additives, food intolerances not only cause
immune reactions but also
reactions in the neurological microglial system.
This can cause brain
fog, memory problems, and degenerative
neurological conditions if
prolonged chronic exposures(6). For example
virtually 100% of those
with schizophrenic symptoms in
schizophrenia, autism, ADHD, are
found when tested to have food
intolerance to wheat gluten or milk
casein(6bd). Enzymatic blockages by chronic toxic metal
exposures
such as vaccines or mercury have been
found to be a factor in these
food intolerances. Similarly this is the most common cause or
factor
in celiac disease and common cause of
ataxia and diabetes(6bde).
Similarly food allergies or
additives, food intolerances, high sugar
consumption, and antibiotic use with adequate probiotics have been
found to be the most common causes of
children’s ear infections.
Clinical studies have found that
diets high in flavanoids, cartenoids,
and including nutritional supplements
such as buffered Vit C and
natural E, selenium, omega-3 oils, probiotics are effective in
preventing ear infections and other chronic
conditions(6b). These in
addition to multiple B vitamins, the flavanoids curcumin, hesperidin,
and quercetin
are effective in preventing and treating leaky gut related
conditions(6,480).
Crohn’s disease usually occurs at a relatively young age
and
results when an immune or autoimmune
response causes increased
inflammatory cytokines like TNFa,
IL-6, and IL-1b, resulting in
inflammation of the ileum or colon(480). This
usually results in
thinning of the bowel wall and often
formation of ulcers on
the intestinal lining. Functional neutrophil deficiencies are often a
factor in Crohn’s
disease. In addition to improvements in
many
patients after amalgam replacement and
detoxification, diet and
nutritional measures are usually effective at
improving Crohn’s
Disease(580). The 4-R program has seen good success in many
patients.
The program removes all foods where there is suspicion of
allergy that might produce inflammation.
Common allergen’s include
wheat/gluten, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tomatoes,
corn, and red meat.
Additionally elimination of
gastrointestinal parasites, undesirable
bacteria, fungus, and yeasts are carried
out. Sometimes a treatment
such as nystantin
is used to eliminate yeast.(480). Then vital nutrients
are replaced by dietary measures and
supplementation of a good
multivitamin and mineral, minerals found
deficient such as iron,
magnesium, calcium, selenium, zinc, iodine
and vitamins such as B-
complex, B6, B12, folic acid. Next the
intestines are reinocculated with
friendly bacteria(Lactobacillus acidophilus
and Lactobacilus bulgaricus.
Finally measures are taken to repair
the intestine to correct for thee
increased permeability. This is done by
adding nutrients such as
glutamine, pathothenic
acid (B5), zinc, FOS, and vitamin C.
DHEA and Butyrate have also been
found effective in many patients at
reducing inflammation(480).
Supplements
and other
treatments that reduce intestinal
permeability have also been found to be
protective against and to
improve these conditions. Glutamine, berberine, probiotics, and
vitamin D have been found to decrease
intestinal permeability and
protect against effects caused by leaky gut
syndrome(4,5,480,487).
Butyrate has been found to inhibit
inflammation and carcinogenesis in
the intestines and low butyrate levels
are found in colon cancer,
ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s
disease(10). Butyrate and
phosphatidylcholine have been found to be protective
against these
conditions, and increased fiber content in
diet promotes increased
butyrate levels, through the effect on
fermentation pattern(10).
Supplementation
with chlorella has been found to result in beneficial effects when used in patients
chronic conditions such as ulcerative colitis, hypertention,
or Fibromyalgia(304). Doctors such as D. Klinghardt (303) have suggested that the mechanism by which
chlorella improves treatment of such conditions is metals detoxification, which
is the main mechanism of action of chlorella and has been found to greatly
improve intestinal function.
Brain
inflammation or hypoglycemia related to toxic metal
exposures, food intolerances, etc. have been
found to be common
causes of ADHD, impulsivity, juvenile
delinquency, criminality, and
violence
(6b,11,115). Detoxification, diet measures, and
supplementation for deficient vitamins and minerals
have been found
to usually improve such conditions.
