Amalgam fillings replaced

My face is still a bit numb. But I've just had all 6 of my amalgam fillings (some 30year old) replaced with white fillings.

I know it's somewhat controversial. And there's strong debate on both sides as to the relative safety/danger of having a mouth full of metal... Also about the dangers of having them removed.

But I took the plunge.

I had recent hair analysis done by university of Western Australia that showed I had mercury 3x normal levels. A couple of naturopaths I've worked with believe that heavy metals may be impacting my immune system/ health.

Anyway the 90 minute procedure included a lot of precautions including oxygen, latex dental dams and an IV drip that pumped 30,000mg of vitamin C into me.

I'll continue with oral vit c and clay for a while to help combat any residual mercury that may have entered my system with their removal.

Anyone else done similar?

had my replaced,they didn't do all the safety precautions like yousr,even though I voiced my concerns,can't tell any differece in my health.

I've had all mine replaced too but I didn't have those precautions either. I had mine done thru out the years because my cavities got bigger or I had to have crowns.

Thanks PK, that's what I was interested in-how best to chelate residual heavy metals. Will look at N-Acetyl cysteine. Anything else?

Jimbo, NAC is pretty strong stuff. Id start there and see how you do. start at 500mg and add 500mg per day till you reach 2000mg. Beware of the Nac flu. If this knocks you on your ass.. stop and visit opening up your detox pathways more through methylation support. if you are constipated, work on that before trying to chelate anything out.

I tried to chelate using Interfase with EDTA a couple months back and that is literally the most horrible Ive ever felt outside of a flare. Every joint hurt, my head was so foggy, it was bad. My body is not ready for hardcore chelation yet. I do take nac tho. Some people say NAC kills pathogens and that in the first flew days that is why it creates the nac flu.. some say its just the chelation, some say its the speeding up of it's part of the methyl cycle. NAC is a precursor to glutatione. So if you rev that up after its been underproducing you are going to feel it. I dunno what the root answer is, but I felt sick for about a week on nac. I think it was because of my Mycoplasma infection. I saw radical reduction in it's numbers within days of starting NAC and Ive had not a single cold or flu since I started it. I was sick every 2 weeks, no lie, before. I changed alot of things a few weeks after adding nac that Im sure helped too.

Some people say (my dr is not one of them) that you must take 3x the amount of vitamin c as you do NAC to prevent the formation of cysteine kidney stones. I trust my doc, but still I take C-Salts pretty regularly, JIK ;)
