I have quite a few silver fillings and was wondering if it was necessary to get them removed before starting a Lyme detox due to potential mercury content. My natural doctor says I have Lyme so I'm about to get tested by my D.O. on Monday.

All the symptoms I have seem to match everything on the Lyme list: floaters with near-sighted blurred vision, clicking joints near my elbows, ankles, wrists, knees and collarbone which are accompanied by pain and seem to be a little out of place, difficulty sleeping, thick saliva, unexplained sounding cough, tinnitus with pulsating spasm in my ears every time I yawn or burp, reflux that is causing pressure to go to my head and numb tongue when I wake up in the morning.

Hi LunarForce - welcome to our community.

If you do have them removed - it's recommended that you have a "Biological" dentist do the work. A biological dentist will take the appropriate steps to eliminate or greatly reduce the ingesting of any particles or fumes.

Whether it is necessary to remove them depends on which LL Dr. you talk to.
I have a mouthful of them...and my Dr. isn't concerned.
It can impede healing, though in some cases.

Other members will be on to post who have more knowledge about heavy metals and detox. There may be some detox methods that may not be good if you have a lot of fillings.

Since you are new here, you might be interested in reading through the thread at the top of the page titled , "New to Lyme?...Start Here!" It's got a lot of great information.

What type of detox are you planning to do?

Thanks for your hasty reply! As of right now my natural doctor only prescribed me "Core Cat's Claw". I also have oil of oregano and serrapeptase which I hear can be useful. I also went and purchased epsom salt and peroxide for detox bath and I ordered a few of the NutraMedix products (Cumander, Burbur, Banderol).

I don't want to go too crazy since I've never done anything like this before but my symptoms are getting worse and I refuse to let this defeat me. These symptoms have been gradually getting worse over the last four years and they started getting really bad a few weeks ago.

My natural doctor is also a chiropractor and the adjustments may have made things worse. I always thought the numbness in my back was due to my scoliosis but it might have been Lyme related this whole time.

The epsom salt and hyd peroxide baths, as well as Burbur are part of my detoxing...and they are fine with fillings. I also like the Nutramedix Pinella - I take it with the Burbur.

When you start the cat's claw, cumanda, and banderol - I recommend you start one at a time...at a low dose. After a few days on one at low dose, then add in the next...again at low dose...and continue until you have the third one in...then you can raise the first one....etc.

Also, start detoxing slowly. Don't stay in the baths too long - start out with just a few minutes...and work your way up to longer. I never stay in longer than 15-20 minutes.

The serrapeptase is to be taken on an empty stomach.
