Do you still have mercury amalgam fillings in your mouth?
You have probably heard that they are linked to many
conditions like depression, chronic fatigue, thyroid
problems, food allergies and yeast conditions, to just name
a few...
You may say that your mercury fillings are not causing you
any trouble, which is great, but don't wait until you have
symptoms to have them removed. Removing the mercury
fillings will cause them to release even more mercury, so
it is better to do it when you are in good shape and
properly prepared.
For many toxic substances no symptoms are notices until a
critical level is reached or you are compromised in other
ways, like through great emotional stress. Mercury leaves
the tooth as a vapor when you eat, drink and brush your
teeth, and it enters and accumulates in your body.
But don't rush out now to have your fillings removed
immediately. It is important that you find the right
dentist to do the job and take the time to prime your body
before removing these toxic fillings. Even if you think you
have no mercury fillings left, it may be worthwhile to
visit a biological dentist to make sure all of it is
actually gone.
1. Find the Right Dentist for the Job
To find a mercury free or biological dentist, ask around or
search through any of these organizations:
- International Association of Mercury Free Dentist (IAMFD)
800 335 7755 www.dentalwellness4u.com
- International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (
IAOMT ) (863) 429-6373 www.iaomt.org
- International Association of Biological Dentistry and
Medicine (281) 651-1745 www.iabdm.org
- Holistic Dental Association (619) 923-3120

2. Ask the Right Questions
Here are a few questions you are smart to ask your dentist
before you book your appointment to have your fillings
removed.
* How many fillings are removed at one time? The answer to
this question will depend on your general state of health;
just make sure that only one quadrant of your mouth is
worked on at each visit, this is to make sure meridians are
not messed with.
* How are you protected during the procedure? Make sure you
get oxygen, vitamin C, cotton or a rubber dam in your mouth
and activated charcoal to take after the procedure.
* Do they offer bio-compatibility testing for the material
that will replace the mercury? If it is not done in the
office, ask for a referral to someone who can help.
It is wise to follow the suggestions below for at least 3-4
weeks before starting removal of your mercury fillings.
3. Eat the Right Diet
Eat a diet limited in sugar and processed foods, but make
sure your diet is high in protein since the sulfur bearing
amino acids will help in the detoxification.
4. Tune Up Your Liver & Kidneys
Start with a liver & kidney cleanse so they are ready to
deal with the increased mercury levels right after the
removal of the fillings. Use herbs and drainage remedies to
do this.
5. Stock Up on the Good Minerals & Antioxidants
Vitamin C and Vitamin E are antioxidants and will help
protect your cells against free radical activity. Take 250
- 500 mg of vitamin C with every meal and 400 units of
vitamin E daily.
Supplementing with quality minerals to ensure a healthy
mineral base is also essential, since the body is forced to
use toxic metals if there are no others around. Especially
the trace minerals selenium and zinc are important in
mercury detoxification, but avoid extra copper and iron,
unless instructed otherwise by your health care
practitioner.
Minerals need sufficient hydrochloric acid in the stomach
to be ionized and absorbed into the body where it is
needed. If you are over age 50 or have food allergies it is
recommended that you take a digestive enzyme with
hydrochloric acid (Betaine Hydrochloride) at the beginning
of your meal.
6. Culture Your Internal Garden
Take a high potency quality strain of probiotics, like HMF
Super Powder from Genestra. This is to make sure you have a
strong intestinal flora to support you during the detox.
7. Be Very Regular
Since 90% of mercury leaves the body through the bowel make
sure it is moving well, or you may end up making things
worse! You should have 1 - 2 bowel movements daily. If you
need help to get your bowel going take 3 tbsp of Hemp Seeds
daily, drink lots of water and take a green powder that is
naturally high in magnesium.
A final caution to not start chelating with products like
chlorella and cilantro until all the fillings are removed,
since you don't want to start pulling mercury out of your
teeth and in to your system. This is only done AFTER all
the fillings are removed.

do on the day of the removal and how to detox afterwards.
