Recovery from chronic health problems after amalgam replacement

About 85 % is a statistical number that various surveys in Scandinavia have been shown to be the portion of people recovering moderately fast ( 1‑3 years ) after amalgam removal for various symptoms, some studies show 70+ %, some show 90+ % but average of the several surveys I have got to know ( mostly patient group surveys like Finn DAMS, Swedish Tandvordskadeforbundets surveys, surveys of Norwegian Dentist Bjoern Oppedahl( over 1000 patients ), statements from dentists who have treated their patients, statements from some amalgam researchers in Finland etc.

From: Mike Godfrey MD Amalgam poisoning

I am an MD with 37 years of clinical experience, the last 15 of which have

been devoted to environmental toxicology. I have had 5 clinical papers

published in peer‑reviewed biomedical or scientific journals over the last 7

years on the toxic effects of mercury from amalgam. Two of my papers have

been published in the New Zealand Science Review, this country's premier scientific journal. I have also delivered papers on the adverse effects of

mercury at CME approved medical conferences in the USA. I have examined

over 600 patients over the past 15 years and correctly diagnosed adverse

health effects from prolonged exposure to amalgam. Most of these

predominently middle‑aged patients had been chronically ill for many years

and had been going from doctor to doctor in a futile search for the real

underlying cause of their protracted ill‑health. Many had spent very large

amounts of money in inappropriate tests and many had had to cease gainful

employment due to their ill‑health. The reason why I can state that I have

correctly diagnosed these patients' problems is that an independent

randomised retrospective investigation was carried out on several hundred of

these patients and subsequently published (Jones L. NZ Psych J.Dec 1999).

This is the scientific method whereby primary research evidence is verified

instead of relying on unsupported opinions. Over 95% of the patients that I

had seen and who had completed both protected amalgam removal and

medical detoxification had achieved long‑lasting major health benefits. They

were for the most part justifiably delighted with the results, as well as

being angry with the dental profession for causing their ill‑health and the

medical profession for their lack of awareness. The latter included professors

who ought to have been more knowledgeable (M. Godfrey, MD)

DALLAS PATTEE Multiple Sclerosis

The neurologist said flatly, "You have Multiple Sclerosis (MS). There is no treatment and no cure." I sat silently in shock! My suspicions had been confirmed. I remember that day well, April 15, 1987 ‑taxes and Multiple Sclerosis.

MS is a tough diagnosis for a 32‑year old who is looking forward to a productive future. The thought of MS quickly blackened my future as visions of wheelchairs, convalescent hospitals and headstones flashed like neon in my mind.

I didn't accept the words of my neurologist "no treatment, no cure." As Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and Miracles' points out, "doctor's words can kill."

Just because the orthodox medical profession was at a loss to help me did not mean that help wasn't available elsewhere. I consulted with a homeopathic practitioner. The first thing she said to me was to get the silver amalgam fillings out of my mouth

because they were poisoning me. I was very skeptical. If amalgam fillings were toxic why were dentists still placing them?

Surely the ADA, AMA, FDA or Ralph Nader wouldn't allow such a thing. Or would they?

Barbara explained that my health would not improve until the fillings were removed. She prepared a tailored homeopathic for me, put me on a strict allergy‑free yeast‑free diet with enzymes and B‑12 injections. She gave me injections and told me to drink lots of distilled water and gave me a whole treatment regimen to follow. This helped to stabilize my health but improvement was very slow.

I don't believe in coincidence and it seemed God kept bringing to my attention stories of MS victims making remarkable recoveries after amalgam removal.

In December, 1 87, the message sunk in and I found a mercury‑free dentist in San Diego, to liberate me from the menacing clutches of the mercury fillings. He took special precautions to minimize my exposure to mercury vapor during the procedure

and I had chelation treatments afterwards. But even with all these precautionary measures, I still suffered horrible cumulative side effects.

I became hyper with incessant insomnia and developed flu‑like symptoms. My MS symptoms exacerbated. I wondered if amalgam removal was a mistake even though I knew it was mercury causing such physical and emotional distress. I was right. It was mercury. Within two months after amalgam removal, I knew without a doubt I was on the road to recovery.

There have been certain plateaus in the recovery process but considering mercury has a half‑life in the brain alone, of 21‑27 years, it is a wonder my body has responded so well. Yet my remarkable recovery is termed nothing more than a placebo effect by the AMA, ADA and National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

I personally think it's nothing less than a miracle! Actually, my improved health can be explained quite easily as a simple example of cause and effect; remove a known poison from the mouth and feel better. That's not a lace 0 effect; that's pure truth and logic, also known as good ole common horse sense.

If you have amalgam fillings be aware that they contain 50% mercury and amalgam is often hidden under crowns and in root canals. Those fillings sit in your mouth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, year‑in and year‑out and will probably follow you to your grave ‑ if not help put you there! You may never know the serious chronic health rob ems you may avert later by taking action now. It's a matter of choice ‑ yours. Be informed and be healthy.

CYNTHIA GREEN Multiple Sclerosis

After six long years in terror and fear, it is almost impossible to make my story brief. It started about eight years ago when I began having terrible headaches and backaches. After visiting many doctors and getting no relief, I learned to live in pain.

Then vision problems began to bother me. Everything seemed to be a blur and was becoming very dim.

Once again doctors said you're just getting older and vision usually changes with age. I laughed because I was only 22 years old! Not long after that I had to have a hysterectomy but still the other problems persisted.

We had just moved from Houston to the open country in Louisiana in 1985 when the problems were really getting out of hand. I would drive home and nearly pass out and would have to pull over and get myself together. I then began to notice I was having trouble remembering things.

Suddenly in November of 1986, the real nightmare began. I could not walk because of weakness in both legs, experienced

balance problems, a low grade temperature, stomach disorders, severe memory loss, states of unconsciousness, hair loss,

scanty urine and the list goes on...

Thousands of dollars, numerous tests many doctors later, I was told I had everything from Asian Flu to Multiple Sclerosis. An

MRI had revealed lesions on the brain along with central nervous system damage and one blind eye. I was told to go home

and learn to live with it because there is no known cause or cure.

I was bound and determined that there was an answer. All it would take would be time, patience and God to find an answer to this horrible nightmare.

I began having breathing problems and I would actually stop breathing. On one occasion I had to be rushed to the emergency room and once again was told that sometimes people die with MS.

I was no longer able to drive a car or do my shopping because of all the overwhelming symptoms. I walked with the use of a cane for four‑and‑a‑half years only because I refused to be pushed in a wheelchair. I felt that if I gave in this would be the last

of Cynthia Green. My husband did all shop‑ping, cleaning and all our regular bookwork. My two boys couldn't even depend on Mom for help with their homework because I could not even comprehend the problems in which they needed help.

Needless to say I was a cane‑walking zombie!

But thanks to God, '60 Minutes' covered the mercury/amalgam issue and I caught the last 1 0 minutes. The program boosted me enough to look into every book at our local library on mercury poisoning. The information was unbelievable!

I took everything I found to my traditional doctor and laid it out for him. After he reviewed all the data and my symptoms, he scratched his head and said, "Let's be objective, but I believe you may have something here." He ran a urine test and to our surprise, along with my history, the nightmare was coming to a close ‑ the real diagnosis was

MERCURY POISONING FROM DENTAL AMALGAM!

I contacted DAMS in Colorado and Shirley Brown was very helpful through my detoxification. I could never begin to express my warm gratitude for all that she has done.

After 6 years of severe illness, I now drive myself; I can shop all day and never get tired; I walk on my own without the cane; I can hold a conversation; I do my own housework; I wake up each morning to a brand new day of blessings and most important my husband and two boys have their wife and mom back ‑ better than ever. Finally, I can say that I am healthy and the nightmare is OVER!

For this I thank God, DAMS and Shirley Brown.

Now I am doing all I can to help inform others of this hidden secret. I am establishing a DAMS Chapter. It will be an honor to be a part of your organization.

You have given me my life back and a cause worth fighting for and believe me after fighting for my life for six years, just think of the fight I have in me to make sure that amalgams are banned. Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I

promise to work very very hard!

RS. I met a lady in her forties that was diagnosed with MS. Her amalgams have been removed. She is going through detox and doing great. She only lives 30 miles away from me and says once she has completed detox, she'll be ready to help too!

MEMORIES OF MS By Mary Davies

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 28, but my problems began long before that. I started wearing eyeglasses at 8 years of age. That was probably the first indication of trouble to come. The next fifteen years I dealt mostly with emotional

problems. Deep depression and hypersensitivity led to hospitalization, but even after intense therapy, I was doing no better. Along with the emotional problems, I was also struggling with sleep disturbances (which I didn't realize weren't normal) and

an irritable colon.

I finally just grew out of the depression and grew into some unusual problems. I started itching all over my body but had no

obvious rash. This was also at a time when I was doing a lot of aerobic exercise.

Since I was on medication for the itching and the medication also helped me sleep, for the next few years things were (I

thought) fairly normal. I was always tired (as I had been since I was about 12) but by that time I was so accustomed to it that

I didn't consider it abnormal. This also happened to be the time when I was newly married and on the birth control pill, so I

assumed my problems (depression) were hormonally linked.

At age 26, I had my first symptom of "MS' After that I suffered strange symptoms. Achy legs, extreme tiredness and lack of

energy became everyday companions and my sleep problems worsened.

Seven months after I had my daughter, I had another "MS" exacerbation. It was at this point that I was diagnosed as having

MS. A lot of things beame clear when they told me I had MS. There were still a lot of unexplained problems such as the depression and sleep disturbances, but I didn't connect them.

Approximately one year after having been diagnosed I had my fillings replaced. I was skeptical at first so I didn't recognize what was happening to my body. I also didn't take any effort to detoxify because I wasn't really sure what to expect. Luckily,

I had a dentist who was very knowledgeable on the mercury issue and he insisted I take vitamins before and during my dental appointments.

I had my fillings replaced in a series of three appointments. At the first appointment I had one filling replaced and was fitted for a cap. THAT VERY NIGHT I SLEPT BETTER! I was thrilled that I was sleeping better and knew it was from the fillings

but thought that was the extent of benefit from mercury amalgam replacement. In between my appointments, I noticed strange

things happening (tingling, dizziness, and metallic taste), but minimalized it.

Approximately one month after total replacement. I acauired a hormonal imbalance, various infections (yeast, bladder, and bacterial) and stomach problems escalated. I also acquired new allergies only to have them disappear right after they arrived.

It was about at this point that I started realizing that I wasn't as tired as I used to be. I was doing a lot more than I used to and my legs didn't ache anymore and I continued to sleep good also. I was convinced that the amalgam replacement was responsible for my improved health but still didn't understand the importance of vitamin therapy. It wasn't until I had another "MS" exacerbation that I discovered how important vitamin therapy is. During the latest exacerbation period, I had symptoms of MS, but overall I felt better than before I was ever diagnosed. It was at this point that I decided to investigate the mercury issue further. I started taking vitamin C every day and immediately started itching. I now know that the mercury was trying to escape from my body and it was irritating my skin. I continued to take the vitamin C and that's when I really started noticing improvements. My energy level increased to a point I don't remember experiencing for 20 years.

Today I have very few "MS' symptoms, my irritable colon has tremendously improved, as well as the hormonal imbalance. I continue to sleep well and my energy level is at an all‑time high. Memories of achy legs and lack of energy are just that ‑ memories. I thank god every day for the people that helped me in my recovery. I only hope that someone reading my story will find an answer to their problems and be inspired to have their fillings replaced.

Editor's Note: Mary has had two miscarriages since amalgam replacement. The second miscarriage was at seven weeks. Mary requested that the fetus be checked for mercury and the results were four times higher than normal. Mary cautions

women of child bearing age to avoid amalgams and to follow amalgam replacements with agressive detoxification protocols.

David Van Vliet

Amalgam Removal:

I was diagnosed with MS 4 years ago. Symptoms included debilitating

fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of coordination, headaches, and eye strain. In my search for an alternative to BetaSeron and steroids, I was introduced to amalgam removal and Dr. Hal Huggins.

Dr. Huggins has been replacing amalgam for over 20 years. He himself has MS and had even lost the use of his left leg until his amalgam was replaced.

He has found that there are elements surrounding the removal

of the mercury fillings that, if considered, can make recovery greater.

In August, I went to the Huggins Diagnostic Center, Colorado Springs,CO,for treatment. The full treatment included methods that help the body eliminate mercury from body stores. And they stress proper nutrition, sunlight, avoidance of

heavy metal, etc. My personal improvement has enabled me to return to full time employment and to be able to walk 3 miles instead of the previous 1/3 mile. Headaches are gone as well.

Please add my name Helmut Petrak to your list of complaints, there is no question in my mind that, that Amalgam and Root Canals have contributed to my Disease known as Multiple Scleroses, there so many studies pointing in this direction. yours healthfully, Helmut Petrak, Pender Island, BC

I am definitely convinced there is! I am a 52‑yr‑old housewife who was dx'd

with MS in Jan 1985. I have had 5 different neurologists and 4 different

urologists. I have had about 9 treatments of steroids (methylprednisolone)

and chemotherapy (cytoxan) from Feb 1987 to May 1993 and countless

prescription meds including antidepressants, antibiotics for bladder

infections, muscle relaxants for spasms and tremors, and I can't remember

what all else. At one point I was partially, temporarily paralyzed. The

steroids helped me walk again. The cytoxan, according to my neurologist,

was supposed to suppress my immune system and make my exacerbations fewer,

farther between and less severe. It did suppress my immune system, but my

exacerbations got closer together and more severe. I had one bladder

infection after another.

I didn't know any better at the time. But now I do. Suppressing the immune

systems is NOT the way to go. You should remove toxins from your body and

not put any more in. You should put in healthy nutrients from whole foods,

not foods processed with additives and preservatives. Help your body heal

itself. It has that ability if you don't abuse it. Linda

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Surely, I must know at least 20 people alone who had adverse reactions and to have their fillings ALL removed, including their root canals. I was one of these people. In 1994 I was diagnosed with heavy amonts of mercury and yes, no doubt about it it was from the fillings. I had them ALL removed including my root canal. Then I went through detox. It was a very difficult time. But, I made it and all MS symptoms have left among the many other symptoms that go along with this poison..

Recovery from MS:

In 1982 I, suddenly had a bad pain in my left eye and went blind in that eye;

the opthalmologist (graduate of Johns Hopkins) diagnosed it as retrobuldar

neuritis. He told me it could be Multple Sclerosis. I rejected that

diagnosis. Steroids were my only option of treatment, which I also rejected.

After approx. 2 months of complete blindness, in that eye, pain had subsided

as the inflammation subsided, but nerve damage was not correctable (so they

said) After using visualization techniques, it started to clear up. (I read

many books on these techniques, and other books, like Norman Cousins,

"Anatomy of an Illness.") The doctors were amazed that I gained sight back.

(My theory was, if my brain could tell my hand, for instance, to pick

something up, and it would respond, then why couldn't my brain tell my body,

internally, to do things, as well. So, I used visualization techniques to

tell my brain to send things to blast away the scarred tissue on my optic

nerve, so the electrical impulses which allowed me to see, could get

transmitted down the nerve, once more. This did indeed work and although I

doubt I will ever get full vision back in that eye (I don't do those

techniques anymore) I can see out of my left eye, although it is like looking

through a screen, there are holes in my vision field, and colors don't look

the same anymore.

The following year, the double vision abruptly interrupted my life and spinal

taps, MRI's, and a barrage of nuerological tests "confirmed" the diagnosis of

MS. This time I endured the steroids (and the side effects.) The spinal fluid

did not show MS, but the "confirmation" was made by the double vision and the

plaque or scarring on my brain shown by the MRI's. The steroids, it is said,

do not work for everyone, but I could see the two separate images gradually

coming together as one over a period of 3 months, so the doctors claimed I

was steroid sensitive and so they did indeed work for me.

Next year, my balance was affected and rotary nystgmus (eyes move on their

own and shake constantly) set in. Again, steroids, visualization (my idea

again, doctors, of course, poo-poo'd that idea) and 2 months of time made it

go away.

Through the next few years, I endured depression (attributed to the

diagnosis) fatique, blurred vision, nervousness, anxiety, weakness in my

limbs, tingling sensations, burning sensations and various pain. (All

attributed to the MS, but I rejected steroid treatment and opted for just my

own method of treatment: distraction in the form of reckless behavior, ie,

sky diving, impulsive behavior, drinking to excess, manic behavior, etc.

It was around that time, 60 Minutes reported the amalgam/mercury story. I had

11 large amalgam fillings. My cousin was a dentist and removed all of them,

at one time, and replaced them with gold (now I wish I had opted for

composite material, but the gold doesn't seem to cause me all that many

problems). Within 10 days, I had NO more symptoms of MS! Very few people,

including my doctors and my cousin, the dentist, believed me. I didn't care,

I KNEW it was from the mercury!! (Thank God for that TV report!)

This has been a long, but educational trek. I HAVE NO DOUBT I was mercury

poisoned and still endure some after effects. I did not do any chelation, I

didn't know about it back then.

I feel extremely strong about getting the message out and making "whom ever

it is" that approves mercury use to STOP!

I would like to go back to school to become whatever I need to to get the

necessary credentials (not sure what they are, though) to do research,

writing, etc. to get paid for working against this practice of using

mercury, about which I am so passionate, interested and directly affected by.

I wish everyone affected by mercury all the best of luck in beating this

thing If there are any questions about my experiences, please send me an

email or posting and I will be glad to answer.

Sincerely,

Lisa Cochran (lisalmccoc@aol.com)

Dear Sir, Amongst the many patients I have treated over a career as a dentist

spanning almost thirty years, I have treated nine patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the last six years. I have prepared them nutritionally and removed their amalgam fillings and all other metal from their mouths using the recommended protection protocols, plus an intra‑venous administration of ascorbate. Two of these patients lost their symptoms completely within a few days of treatment and have remained symptom free for over four years. Five have experienced a profound reduction in symptoms, allowing a normal life style once again with no further deterioration and two have a general improvement in condition though less profound, increased energy and slowing of disease progress. Stool tests before and after treatment show

2‑300ugm.mercury/l stool pre‑treatment to as much as 1‑11/2 million ugm./l three days post treatment, falling to low or no level in two months. It would

seem to me that MS would qualify as a mercury/amalgam related condition.

Yours faithfully, Vincent Maiolini BDS. www.talkinternational.com

My health has improved a lot(MS) since I had my mercury fillings removed and had my root canals extracted. I still have MS, but my symptoms have been greatly alleviated with the removal of dental sources of poison, a strict supplement/diet regimen, mercury IV chelation using DMPS and followed by an IV vitamin/mineral replacement the day following chelation

Jeanne Granneejeanne@cs.com

The Mayo Clinic has told us, "...an allergic reaction would typically

result only in redness, soreness or other problems around the tooth with the

filling. It wouldn't cause a disease that affects widespread areas of your

body." <A HREF="http://www.mayohealth.org/mayo/9708/htm/2ndop_1.htm">Mayo

Clinic</A> (1997) That statement could surely explain my buccal response to

amalgam removal. However, I do have diseases encompassing widespread areas

of my body.

The diseases I am suffering from, CFIDS, Systemic Candidiasis, Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, numbness and tingling in the extremities (Dx: MS in 1997 by brain MRI and symptomatology, refuted in 1997 by spinal tap) and many others, not serendipitously, represent the common suffering of 90 - 100% of the members comprising the 3 Internet lists of anti-amalgamists that I associate with. Literally hundreds of us have banned together on these lists, having found relief from years of untold suffering with these common symptoms only through the removal of amalgam fillings, subsequent heavy metals chelation, and/or the rebuilding of our ruined health through nutrition and supplementation. The symptom picture is undeniably clear, and clinical and anecdotal evidence abounds.

The thing that's really helped me of late is lipoic acid chelation ALA Andy Cutler. I've gotten rid of most of my MS symptomatology and other stuff too.

Excuse my poor English. I Was born 1954 Denmark. -In 1960 I got the first amalgam. Down to 1990 I got 15 amalgams! In 1978 first MS symptoms( paralyzed right leg ).

By 1982 MS worse ( ~ all legs and arms damaged )

In 1990 I got amalgam out; without protection, but no problems. I got 8 Gold crowns. In 1995 met Dr. Monrow ( from Breakspear Hospital , London ) She told me: MS is a breaktion of the body of heavy metal .I got: antyoxidanties and much Multivitamin.

In 1997 I met Dr. Frank Liebke ( about 1985 he had worked in Los Dallamos to

detox People after Atomic bomb.) Here I met cinesiologie.I got tested about

Medizin, Materials , DMPS ,... I got 6 x DMPS chelations. Then Chlorellaalges ( 2 x 5 g )

In 1999 I replaced all Gold .

In 2000 I got tested, using ceramic ( Empress II glued with ketac molar)

Now I feel fine!!!!! ManfredClaussen@t‑online.de

Hair loss is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (which can be caused by Hg

poisoning). My hair fell out in huge quantities this past summer.In September of last year I had my fillings replaced, and my hair has completely stopped falling out; my hypothyroidism turned out to be Hg induced.

After I had my amalgams out I've noticed that my gums are less red and the plague and mouth odour has virtually disappeared, almost to point were I don't need to brush my teeth. I do brush and floss, though more out of habit than anything else. I always wondered how ancient man got by without brushing and flossing, now I know, they

didn't have dentists putting mercury in their mouths. I'm thinking that all that mercury suppresses the bodies ability to deal with all the bacteria.

The reason I believe it is mercury is because when I took amalgams out

arthritis, fibroymyagia and skin rashes disappeared. That is enough for me.

But, I believe I have to look into possible cavitational investigation, as I

do have at least four teeth missing in the rear of my mouth, both upper and

lower. Also have a tatoo.

olympic runner recovery from amalgam poisoning

" Garpenborg _terst_lld

Men Helena drog sig till minnes en artikel hon l_st om den tidigare sprinterl¸paren Christer Garpenborg. ‑ Han blev rullstolsbunden av sina t_nder, ber_ttar hon.

Garpenborg som var inriktad p_ att ta en OS‑medalj i Moskva 1980 kunde pl¸tsligt inte springa ett steg. Han blev helt _terst_lld efter en amalgamsanering och kom

sakta tillbaka till idrotten. 1981, tv_ _r efter saneringen, vann han b_de SM och Finnkampen. Tanken slog Helena att hon kanske ocks_ var ¸verk_nslig

mot kvicksilver. Och n_r hennes mor, som bor kvar i Falun, s_g ett TV‑program med falutandl_karen Olle Redhe om amalgamsanering tog Helena kontakt med honom."

So, it appears that Christer Carpenborg, ( who I remember from watching olympics and also from yearly Finn‑Swede field & track competitions I used to go watch once to

Sweden, once in Finland at the time he used to run, also remember Swede crazy discus man Ricky Bruch yelling at the comps ) went almost completely wheelchair‑bound from

amalgams, and made full recovery, I remember comments he made of almost complete hair‑color change to bronze related to the amalgam removal, similarly, my brothers hair got very dark like mine from compleletely blond the further the poisoning progressed, and his hair has gotten also much blonder, but also has turned very prematurely partially gray after the amalgam removal, mine has not gotten back to blond, that much yet, only with heavy NAC and GSH intake it does get a little lighter, mine actually DROPPED mostly because of the backfired DMPS, so guess it really was not the best thing

to do. R.

Subject: Re: Thyroid / Adrenal Questions/Recovery

I was on Synthroid (T‑4) for years....then switched to Armour (T‑3 mainly, a

little T‑4) Thyroid...tried virtually every other sort in between. Did much

better on the Armour. Had to decrease the dose considerably when I developed

Addison's Disease and was put on Cortef ( a form of Hydrocortisone)....this is

not uncommon, and is well documented in Endocrine texts (most of mine are at

least 7‑20 years old, even my Wilson's ones. The two (thyroid and cortisone)

can have a synergistic effect when taken together.

Eventually I had to switch to timed release T‑3 (cytomel) with just a bit of

Synthroid....my blood levels of thyroid were fine, but was experiencing all

sorts of "hypothyroid" problems......my body (probably due to the mercury

toxicity, at the time I assumed it was some obscure new problem caused my my

auto‑immune disease). Had similar problems with estrogen and cortisone for

awhile. Have a girlfriend with late stage Lyme disease that has similar

problems. As I continue to improve I hope to switch back to just plain Armour

again‑was so simple, inexpensive, and worked so well for years.

I'm showing remarkable progress as I'm going through mercury detox. (With

LA/DMSA/DMPS‑all orally) My chronic inflammation has decreased

amazingly....is like a miracle, really. Years of nightmarish atypical edema

are going away. Severe fibrocystic breast disease has virtually vanished. My

eyeglass prescription has improved 50%. And I'm an optician! Still have alot

of the "overt" signs of mercury poisoning, the weird skin flushing, odd

lesions, and the list goes on....temperature changes are still dramatic...very

little tolerance for heat or sun right now. But my auto‑immune problems are

so much better that it's truly like seeing a light at the end of a tunnel.

I'm actually able to sleep through the night..without getting up literally ten

times to hit the bathroom.....and the quality of sleep is so much

improved...what a difference that makes in how one feels. I've been plagued

with severe problems (chronic fatique, environmental illness‑allergic to

virtually anything, Myasthania Gravis, Polyglandular Auto‑Immune failure (lost

my ovaries, thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, part of my thymus, and so on)for

over twenty years.......so this improvement is particularly amazing to me.

The smell of perfume still drives me crazy, and I can't promise yet that I

won't "kill" someone for using "Bounce" fabric softener.....I swear, I can

smell it and get immediately ill from a mile away. But overall, life is so

much better...I used to be on an extreme rotation diet.....can now eat almost

everything.....went to Environmental Health in Dallas with WIlliam Rae close

to twenty years ago....did the shots for years, followed the whole protocol‑to

no avail....but now things are clearing up. (Still think the world of Dr. Rae

though‑he did try to help me in a truly honest and forthright fashion)

<My doctor has also given me Adrenal Cortex for my adrenals> Good luck with

that, but it did me absolutely no good. Was on the same brand, also....went

through bottles of it, eventually if just made me feel more toxic. Also tried

French manufactured IV Adrenal Cortex extract......to no avail......if your

adrenals are in a seriously weakened condition, adding thyroid can worsen

matters considerably‑I went into Adrenal crisis and it was NO FUN. Ended up

going to Broda Barnes M.D. , in Colorado Springs, when he was still alive, the

thyroid "guru' at the time‑a true gentleman and pioneer. He put me on 5 mg

prednisone (which he talks about in his book) to try to supplement my adrenals

enough that I could take the thyroid (had a huge goiter at the time, my

thyroid was so inflamed)‑but really didn't help until I was on a larger

replacement dose of Cortef..my adrenals were too far gone.

Subject: Oral Lichenoid Lesions Cured by Amalgam Removal

>Yes, I had those before amalgam removal, they are whitish patches that hurt, on the mucous membranes on the mouth, They really do hurt. I suffered from these lesions continuously for ten years since I had amalgams installed. Painful to talk or smile. Acquired reputation as a grouch. Ruined my teaching career. But pain is a potent motivator. The pain of these lesions is what drove me to search for a

cure. Consulted a dentist who said it was due to poor nutrition. Studied

nutrition and found only temporary relief as the cause was not removed.

Studied alternative medicine and learned of metal toxicity. Got metal

out. six months later lesions cured. No more pain. End of oral lichenoid

lesion story. Harder to rebuild my health, reputation and career.That

takes longer. Dale

Briefly, Got my first amalgams in high school started having problems. Got a bunch more high copper amalgams after graduating college. Got seriously sick. All the classic symptoms and more. Wasted to 96 pounds, suffered several bone fractures that refused to heal. Desperately searched for the cause of my illness by researching at library. Got no help from doctors. Then found out about amalgam toxicity and getting better.

I no longer experience the following symptoms:

Postural hypotension - faintness upon arising

Floaters, Dizziness and ataxia, Lichen planus

Pale lips - indicative of anemia

Dryness of eyes,Wasting and weight loss - recovered 10 lbs.

Panic attacks, Constant depression and nervousness

Constant fatigue, weakness, lack of energy

Edema, Constant hunger, Severe indigestion,

nausea, gas, and bloating, Obvious steorrhea

Brittle bones-Fractures of lower back vertebrea, ribs, both index fingers(These fractures did not heal for several years, threatening my ability to be independent)

Yes, I have had cognitive improvement since having bridge

removed and the galvanic pain is gone. Since bowel problems the past

month, I have not taken Ritlin or Lodine ‑ I can't tolerate either; as

well as peanut butter, margerine, coffee, etc. etc. By the end of the

first week of the bowel problem, I was actually not eating much of

anything ‑ a ground beef patty was about all I could stomach. I'm

taking lamotil which gives much relief and I don't have quite as many

cramps in my stomach. I take just a little ibuprofen when muscle pain

get bad.

Still not eating much of anything but bowels are calmed down. But

certainly I can think better and my neck mucles are much more relaxed

since I had the bridge out. Walking problems come and go as well as

very shacky hands. Heard from my med. doctor yesterday and he is

conferring with doctors they said "in the cities ‑

St.Paul/Minneapolis" about my slightly high coproporphyrin results. They also

called in another lamotil prescription for me. I pray they come up

with the right diagnosis. Jackie

I have had the opportunity to do a vision exam on Andy Cutler in April 1999 and again in December 1999. During this time period, Andy's visual acuity improved, astigmatism dramatically reduced, crystalline lenses became clearer, sensory fusion improved and convergence improved. There was no direct treatment of any visual disorders during this time. None of these things are expected to improve with time or age. Andy had his amalgams removed in the spring of 1998 and has since been chelating

based on calculations that he did from some of the Russian literature among other sources.

Same was reported in a Finn lady's 1989 published book of her

amalgam removal experiences, where she had her

amalgams removed, and she did no chelation, just Vitamin C 5

grams a day, the lens clearing happened a bit faster even than with Andy, and as said, no chelation, just vitamin C, so the stopped mercury caused oxidation of the eye proteins and increased antioxidant intake are responsible for the improvements.

Similarly, Sam Queens Chronic Mercury toxicity book has references of Ascorbate improvements of eye parameters in relation to mercury.

Subject: Re: Mercury And Allergies

Mercury causing allergies? Naaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Not possible! Two allergists told me amalgam had nothing to do with it at all! That I had to go through several years of expensive, inconvenient and painful allergy treatments and then might see some relief.

Allergies are caused by immunoglobulin E to a large extent. Everybody KNOWS

mercury has nothing to do with that!

So I drilled out my fillings. Last one out on March 31.

IgE measurement before fillings came out: 636.

IgE measurement in mid June (at 10 weeks) 328.

IgE measurement on August 5th (18 weeks) 263.

IgE measurement on November 18th/98: 175.

IgE measurement on 12/16/98 129

"normal" per this lab is less than 180. Many allergic people are in the

"normal" range.

My subjective sensation of allergy does follow the numbers. I do still get

some response to outside air, but not so much.

Mercury couldn't POSSIBLY have ANYTHING to do with those numbers! In addition

to having a serious psychosomatic illness, I must be charismatic enough that the people at the laboratory who have never met me are going along in mass hysteria and imagining numbers! Couldn't POSSIBLY be due to me removing my source of mercury exposure, now could it?

Nonsarcastic note: the "average" allergy sufferer has IgE of 180. Pretty much nobody with IgE below 50 or 60 ever complains of allergies. We'll see how long that takes, but I'm betting on spring.

My subjective experience of allergy sensitivity and discomfort pretty much

tracks the numbers. Allergies brought from insane to totally disabling by tossing "sulfur foods," 1/1/97. Most of allergy and asthma eliminated by amalgamectomy..

No idea what IgE was in 1996, but if subjective experience was a guide it

must have been 3,000+.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I think in the end I can probably conclude that when my system was very fatigued or sleep deprived, I was much more likely to suffer a seizure (or jitterniess/tremors) because my seizure threshold was lower under these "extreme" circumstances. Since I had my amalgams removed I feel better overall and I've been seizure free for about 10 months now, take no more seizure medication and feel that the worst may very well be behind me. I also conclude that this has also lessened the pressure my system was under and may also contribute to the fact that I am now seizure free.

Cheers,

This is about a friend of mine just to prove a point that the teeth can have a major impact on our health. My friend is in her 60's and had her first mercury filling in her 20's, shortly after she began to have debilitating migraine headaches. She never associated this with her fillings and through the years she continued to have more fillings as her headaches increased in severity. Two years ago I had her read up on amalgam poisoning and she then opted to have all her teeth pulled. Today she is totally free of migraines after suffering for nearly 40 years. She said she had forgotten how good life can be. It should be a criminal offense to cause someone this kind of needless suffering. Linda G. maggierae@earthlink.net

You may also note that in the paper by Stenman and Grans in the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health (I think 1997 p 69 - it is cited in my book) they also describe a patient who escaped from imminent psychiatric commitment, had her amalgams removed, and was cured.

Apparently this is common but it is uncommon that anyone will give the poor "crazies" the time of day to help them learn about amalgam illness, or take them seriously enough to treat it.

a few months back I was ready to remove my last two amalgams from under crowns when I discovered a rather large amalgam tattoo in the front of my mouth. As I did not have the financial resouces to remove both I asked your opinion about which was most harmful to my health and you recommended I remove the tattoo first. I must share with you the results of removing the tatto which to me has been phenominal. My brain fog has completely cleared up and my energy is greatly improved; so much so that I no longer feel such great urgency to remove the amalgam remaining under those two crowns. I'm intend to do this very soon but I am thrilled with the results of removing the tattoo. It was a giant step in recovering my mental and physical energy, I am just over-joyed with the results and wanted to thank you for the valuable advice, as well as share this information with anyone that might be facing the same decision.

Nearly ALL my symptoms went away after amalgams were out - I

noticed the difference (felt more "myself" than I had in years) when about 2/3 of the way through -- I had many many amalgams - something like 17 or more. Over 8 years of illness I had the same as everyone else: chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hypothyroid, Candida, food allergies from Leaky Gut,

etc. These changed and morphed into each other over time - I didn't have them all when I finally got the amalgams removed, which I did when mental symptoms (extreme forgetfulness) began to scare me. Since removal, my energy level and general feeling of wellness have improved dramatically.

Food "allergies" improve every year -- still can't handle sugar and a few other things, and have a persistent exfoliating rash clearly connected to gut problems -- L-Glutamine helps with that. I'd like to tell anyone who is wavering (as I did for 2 years, not wanting to face the expensive facts) - GET THEMOUT, you will be SO GLAD YOU DID!!

I have suffered chronic health problems for a very long time. I finally decided that an old root canal was problematic. After the removal of the infected root canal with amalgam and a crown,right next to a gold inlay, the symptoms that I used to have just faded away and have not returned. It took a long time for the gum to heal afer the root canal was extracted, it left quite a big hole. I'm going to have a flexite 1 tooth bridge put there.

I had chronic fatigue, fibromyalgian, candida, loss of fine motor coordination. After having my fillings replaced I have found sauna to help with detox. It clears my mind and helps after a chemical exposure to restore my energy level and reduce the fibromyalgia. The sauna releases toxins and as these enter the bloodstream and leave through the skin, you'll experience symptoms again as you get rid of the merucry. My improvement has been both short-term and long-term. I have gradually gotten much better over the past eight years.

I had two teeth replaced with porcelain and jelenko gold. My ulgy symptoms of depression & anxiety came back. Checking out my newly arrived bio-compatibility test results, ironically neither product was on my recommended list. Both teeth had to be replaced at the dentist's expense.

Following removal the symptoms lifted. Porcelain has 16% aluminum in it. Replacement materials must be matched to the person. Dr. Farris has had good luck, with his sensitive patients using Herculite and unstained Dicor for the molars. You want composites that x-ray like a natural tooth (least

worked with amalgam free dentists..helping their patients detox from mercury..post amalgam removal. I think my very sickest patient was one two years ago who had had 1/2 half of her amalgams replaced with gold..leaving the right upper and lower..still filled with mercury. In less than four

months, her health was destroyed, literally. When they first brought her to me...she had to be carried in...and after each removal session..it was the same..although after the last and work with myself and an energy therapist who works with me...she did walk out.

She also had the gold removed, btw as she tested badly for any metal, whatsoever. About six months after removal and detoxing she was totally functional.She now does every thing she

always did. Dr. Deborah Baker

I don't had mercury poisoning from my dental fillings (+vaccines). I had my (17)fillings removed and replaced about 9 years ago.. A chiropractor/nutritionist (who had had his own Mercury fillings out) did bioenergetic testing which tested for 5 forms of mercury. I tested positive on 4 of the 5. (He said testing positive on 5 basically meant I was dead.) After much research, some supplementation, and a test for least reactive replacement materials (via mail by Huggins Diagnostic) I went to WI (my sis lives there)to have the work done because I couldn't find anyone in OK who would do it right.

My symptoms of mercury poisoning included weighing only 82 pounds (5'6", natural weight 110#), loss of memory, loss of ability to spell (simple words like here and hear), cold hands and feet, metallic taste in the mouth, pain in the throat and lungs when breathing deeply or in cold air, leaky gut, chronic fatigue (drag home from work and try to decide if I had the energy to shower or not!),among other things...

I consider myself in good health now. In the last year,I have had NAET treatments for dairy, mercury, nickel, aluminum, silver, copper, chromium, magnesium, tin, (one other metal which I don't recall at the moment), MMR, chlorine, fluoride, my own blood, a hormone (can't remember if she decided to do estrogen or progesterone first), and will do several more.

I had numbness,tingling and sensations of ants crawling on the left side

of my body. I thought I had MS. I had an MRI and nothing showed up. I found

out about the dental connection and at first did not believe it,but after

having them removed I knew it was true. I had 3 gold mixed crowns on the top

left side and on the bottom left side I had a root canal and a full nickel

mixed crown. It was after the last metal crown in 1997 that I went down hill fast. I had fibromalygia for 23 years and now chronic fatigue and have just found out I have mycoplasma fermentans incognitus infection. I asked my Dr. which came first the toxicity or the infection and she said the toxicity

suppressing my immune system and damaging my central nervous system. I am lucky to be alive.

I had a hair analysis done that did not show high mecury. I did a

fecal test and it showed very high mercury. I did not do the challange test

at all.

I’m certain it was my dental fillings causing my symptoms because they all

dissappeared 3 weeks after removal,except for the fatigue.

I now have to be on long term antibiotic's to get rid of this infection

if I can.

Recently had all (8) amalgams removed completely along with six

extractions under general anaesthetic last week ‑ took nearly four hours aparently,

and I sure didn't feel too good last week ...

but now, WHAT A DIFFERENCE already. My vision is improving, morning ******

migraines have vanished, much less muscular pain, clarity of thought is returning

‑ long way to go and I did promise myself to be patient and cautious but I

really can tell a big differance already (less than ten days!).

The whole thing was done under Hal Huggin's "protocol" ‑ I was very

impressed with the equipment (very high tech stuff), knowledge and care, EVEN MORE

impressed with the sudden relief of some symptoms. I have even noticed my left

nostril is easing (after nearly five years of being blocked) and my sense of smell

is also returning. Generally feeling stronger and "sharper".

*********************************************************************

Hi all ‑ I have had six of my 10 amalgam fillings out so far and boy do I

feel really great!! First time I have been able to say this in years and

years ‑ I even feel better than I did before I got my chemical injury

summer 96! How cool!! I even was able to muster a little Christmas

shopping tonight dealing with people smoking and perfume and all the

synthetic Christmas smellies and I also went to Kinko's ‑ and NO

REACTIONS!!! I actually feel like I can someday be well. I never

realized the inpact that my mercury had on me. Was talking to someone

the other day and realized that I started getting really depressed the

same year I started getting fillings. But then that was also the year I

got my period so maybe the mercury has nothing to do with it.

Anyway ‑ I guess I am babbling but I just wanted to share my fabulous

news and to thank you all for your fabulous advice and support.

______________________________________________________________

Consider having mercury removed from the teeth. I did, and got rid of

considerable depression and memory problems. It also eliminated many

illnesses and fatigue, as well as allergy symptoms.

I had amalgam removed, and had immediate relief from many distressing

problems, including very expensive allergies. In fact, my antihistamine

budget of one thousand dollars per year and increasing yearly, has more

than paid for the cost of amalgam removal since 1990. My antihistamine

budget dropped to nearly nothing almost immediately, huge stress levels

were reduced, short‑term memory problems were drastically reduced, and I

could eat all the citrus I wanted without lichen outbreaks.

Long term memory was not affected. Short‑term memory had become so poor

that I had to often look at a phone number seven times while dialing. I

also often went back into the house for something I had forgotten, only

to realize that I had forgotten what I went back in there for, sometimes

requiring three trips back in before I got the forgotten item!

The problem disappeared with amalgam removal.

___________________________________________________

There is unquestionably a link between Crohn's, colitis and other

diseases of the bowel and amalgams. Several people on this list have reported

over the years recovering from these diseases by having amalgams removed. I'm

one of them. I had colitis from 1989 to spring 1991. In April and May 1991 I

had 14 amalgams removed. By July 1991 the colitis was gone. During some

stressful times later in 1991, I had brief recurrences of colitis, but have

had none since. My theory is that the intestines in some people can only be

exposed to so much poison before they begin to develop chronic diarhea and

eventually chronic bleeding.

I am definitely convinced there is a connection between MS and mercury! I am a 52‑yr‑old housewife who was dx'd with MS in Jan 1985. I have had 5 different neurologists and 4 different urologists. I have had about

9 treatments of steroids (methylprednisolone) and chemotherapy (cytoxan) from Feb 1987 to May 1993 and countless prescription meds including antidepressants, antibiotics for bladder infections, muscle relaxants for spasms and tremors, and I can't remember what all else. At one point I was partially, temporarily paralyzed. The

steroids helped me walk again. The cytoxan, according to my neurologist, was supposed to suppress my immune system and make my exacerbations fewer, farther between and less severe. It did suppress my immune system, but myexacerbations got closer together and more severe. I had one bladder infection after another.

I didn't know any better at the time. But now I do. Suppressing the immune systems is NOT the way to go. You should remove toxins from your body and not put any more in. You should put in healthy nutrients from whole foods, not foods processed with additives and preservatives. Help your body heal itself. It has that ability if you don't abuse it.
