I'm sure many of you have seen the IAOMT video "Smoking Teeth" (http://iaomt.org/patients/video.asp). When I see this it makes me sick to my stomach. I can't believe there is controversy about this. Mercury is in people's mouth, just inches away from their brain. There is no controversy about the toxicity of mercury. Here in Alabama they recently evacuated an entire school because of a small spill yet it's still going in children's teeth? Where is the sanity?
Since I was a small child I have had a mouth full of amalgams. I would venture to say I had as many as 10-12 fillings. I have had 3 experiences of CFS which are probably better referred to as mercury toxicity episodes in my life. The second was about a year shortly following an amalgam filling that just popped out. The third and current episode (almost 9 years) is after a couple of years of dental work including removing amalgams to replace with crowns. I also had 2 amalgams replaced 3-4 years ago in a non-safe manner also. At this point I only have 2 teeth with visible amalgams #2 and #4.
Something that just happened recently has removed any doubt for me. Back in the dentists office had a crown replaced. Not a big deal until I went back for a semi-annual cleaning and inspection. Almost immediately when the hygenist hit the area of my amagams with the powered polishing tool I got a sick sensation. Within an hour of leaving the dentists office I was extremely anxious and definitely not in my right mind. Those who have experienced can understand this. I was feeling very paranoid, anxious, worried and very much like a caged animal. I am usually very good and catching my brain in various states of chemical variation but this time it caught me off guard. Instead of sitting back and saying "ok, my brain is at it again, just ride it out" I was completely caught up in it.
Fast forward to a few hours later I'm feeling more normal. I did take one tablet of Postassium Citrate to help once I realized I might be responding to mercury exposure. When I saw the above video just reinforced my belief that I received a large exposure to mercury vapor.
For me the exposures I have received have taken year(s) to resolve. Maybe could have hastened the detox process by taking supplements... who knows...
Right now I have these 2 visible amalgams and God knows what under my crowns. I am looking for a IAOMT dentist to remove these last 2 currently but am wondering what I can do in the mean time to reduce mercury vapor exposure from these teeth.
The video leads me to believe that the temperature of the amalgam and any friction on the amalgam surface (more heat?) will increase the emission from the tooth.
So it seems I could do the following:
1. Don't eat or drink anything warm/hot.
2. Don't chew on my right side where the teeth are.
3. Possibly sip a cool beverage (water) throughout the day
4. No unnecessary chewing (gum)
5. Inhale through the nose and out through the mouth. Probably not as hard as it initially seems. This will keep the tooth cooler and any vapor that isn't absorbed by the oral tissue will be expelled into the air (second hand smoke anyone?)
6. When brushing teeth try to stay off the surface of the amalgams. Also do not inhale through the mouth when brushing
I've even considered some type of chelating agent could be packed onto the surface of the teeth with the right agent binding them. Something like bentonite clay mixed with chlorella or pectin perhaps?
I can afford the $600+ per tooth to have the amalgams taken out safely but what about those who can't? Maybe these ideas can help them reduce exposure.
