Lyme Disease, Metal Toxins, & Mercury Fillings

I've not been on this site in several weeks do to being so sick since having all my teeth removed. Almost every tooth had mercury in it (24 in total). I also had five root canals (decay in all of them), one-seven tooth span bridge (with platinum), and a gold crown. Needless to say my mouth was a wreck. I had a lot of mouth trauma as a child. Anyways, I was really sick and assumed the Lyme was out in full force along with stirring up the metal toxins. I was nauseous for a week and three days. On that tenth day I was throwing up all evening and once during that night. I woke the next morning and felt much better and have felt pretty good every since.

My questions is do you think it was the metal toxins making me sick? When I discarded the contents of my tummy do you think I voided all the metal toxins? I've been on Glutathione for the metal toxins. Also did a urine test the day after having my teeth removed to check on the Mercury and had blood work done about a week after to check toxin levels. I will not get the results of these test until seeing my LLMD on August 8. I was just curious if anyone has ever gone through anything like this before.

I was ready to give up on everything. I was having to choke down all my meds and water tasted horrible too. Thankfully my husband being the supporter he is told me to keep chugging away at everything and it would get better. I knew he was right but it wasn't easy. Thankfully I have a great support system here at home.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks for your comments. I'm hoping to have some answers from my LLMD next Friday.

I had 3 mercury fillings and had them all changed out. There is a special technique dentists have to use to remove mercury fillings, like put a rubber dental dam around the tooth with the filling to be removed. But you just had them all removed right?

How is your diet doing now that you got your teeth removed, can you still chew your food?

Also I had 1 root canal tooth which I got removed and I got a zirconia implant put in to replace it, and the reality is all root canals are toxic and infected with some kind of nasty disease causing anaerobic bacteria. Some worse than others. I think you will end up feeling much better after getting those toxic teeth removed!

Tips for mercury detox... Lots of cilantro, chlorella, garlic, parsley and greens! Try lots of green smoothies!

I am eating cilantro now every day.

Yup - my mouth is full of metal, too.

Lymepickle: I think it's more than a rubber dam. I think the fumes are bad as well when they drill out the metal filling. There's something about the heat of the drill....can't remember the details.

I have an appt. for an amalgam (sp?) to be removed in a few weeks - I've decided to postpone it for at least another month. No biological dentists in my neck of the woods. She does use a dental dam though.

Ya when I got mine taken out.. They just drilled them out!!! I think I got mercury toxicity from that ! I was twitching for months ! They didn't use the rubber dental dam, or the air suction to draw the vapours, or give me fresh air! I probably would have been better off leaving them in. But at least they are out, and I was told by another dentist that there don't appear to be any signs of the amalgam left.

Gotta love the internet!! That's what saved me too, Girlie!! Although I live in the US, I live in such a rural area that there's no one else who 'stands up' for anything that is Lyme related. It's the "good ole boys" system here and it stinks!

I'm now past having fillings - have now lost so much bone in my lower jaw that I have to have implants put in so that I won't just wake up one morning with a broken jaw. The implants are supposed to stimulate bone growth again. I hope it works.

My implants will be out of titanium - less chance of a reaction from what I understand, and I'm only going through this once!!!

Nope, I never had periodontal disease - my teeth just fell apart! I had fillings - mercury ones of course, since I was a very young child. Even though I was really pretty good about brushing and not eating a bunch of sweets, I got tons of cavities, teeth that would just break and abscessed teeth. I have to assume it was due to the Lyme disease and a lowered immune system as Lyme can attack the teeth.

My dentist and I believe that the bone loss is partly due to the fact that I clench my teeth as well though. This can be due to Lyme....and intestinal food allergies.


Camogirl, if you are going to get dentures (best thing I did!!) I would suggest getting implants now or at least check into it - before you have much bone loss. I wish someone had told me this back when I got my dentures - although I didn't even know I had Lyme back then!!
