Ok! I'm convinced! I'll remove my amalgam fillings and chelate! But... some questions...

Ohai IH forums!

It does indeed seem like my amalgam filling and a half (I have one full tooth filling, and one very small one, half or maybe less) may be contributing to my candida yeast overgrowth.

So! I want to remove them, and chelate mercury... I mean at the moment I am taking 5 grams of garlic a day in capsule form... will the sulphur be having any kind of impact do you think?

Also - my biggest concern - I believe I was told last time that I should be careful to choose a good dentist when having them removed who can do it properly? What can go wrong if I choose a bad dentist, or it's not properly done?

I don't have much cash you see...


But yes erm... I'm a bit of a noobie on this topic but... this seems like a clear target if I'm trying to pin candida down and get rid of it!


Thanks guys!


Hoppiiiiipolla! ^_^

Hoppipolla - It's a really important consideration, about safety.

Google video has made a notification that it will be pulling its videos.

I just found two good videos that anyone who is interested in oral pathology should watch.

I've mentioned Dr. Hal Huggins dozens of times on this forum and for good reason. I just found
two videos of a lecture he gave to physicians.

Dr. Hal Huggins is a great speaker, has good pacing and speaks in very plain non-technical
language, so any layman can understand what he is discussing.

These videos will only be up until April 29th, 2011 and they will be removed.

The 2nd video gets into some very interesting information (it's a continuation of the first) that's been discussed a lot in the past, but of course, who can find all the old stuff on oral pathology on here? Probably not easy.

Why is Dr. Hal Huggins important? He possesses more real, non-skewed knowledge than virtually every doctor on the planet concerning blood chemistry. He was handed down all of the critical archival information from Dr. Weston A. Price as well.

These videos are not current, but it doesn't matter--he's light-years beyond most in medicine.

Here's another one. Hal Huggin's starts talking into about 4 minutes on this:

I'm watching now

This is really good I'm enjoying this! I may watch the whole thing which is really unusual for me but I'm finding it fascinating!

I'll write more when I've watched more lol ^_^


33 minutes in... I'm definitely sold on the mercury/fillings thing you know.. to be honest it's incredible it's picked up on by so few people. Everywhere I go, some of the best success stories come from those who have removed amalgam fillings. I'm so glad I only have one (and a bit) fillings. I will take those out though

Ok wow, that's the first part watched! I think I'll watch the second one later.

Fascinating. And I think I agree with it all too. I think I should research into where to find a really clued-up dentist to remove my fillings!

Hi Hoppi.

I reached the same conclusion about the potential benefits of amalgam removal but delayed the procedure since Sept last year (when I started consulting with dentists in my area (London) ). It is a very difficult decision to make, since the removal process (safety) and replacement materials (the replacement of 'toxin one' for 'toxin two') need to be carefully considered. None of the dentists I consulted followed the recommended Huggins method entirely, and I got stuck at this point (wasted some cash here, so be sure to call the Dentist before any consultations). I am back researching my options and probably will have to see a Harley St practitioner. None of the amalgam removal procedures are available on the NHS, and so will be relatively costly.

I have worked really hard to find solutions to my chronic health issues (minor issues of geographic tongue, some eye floaters, gut problems) and hair loss of course, but no supplements seem to make the slightest bit of difference. I'm sure these conditions are all related? I have tried all options regarding diet, but no luck there. I used to eat almost anything without worry, and it's now essential for me know exactly what's in a food or how it was produced....despite knowing that it will have little impact on changing my problems. I've chelated for ages (currently only Humifulvate, but previously chlorella/cilantro/ALA, Iodine). I haven't noticed one single change positive or negative.

Let me know if you find a dentist that will cover all bases with the proper removal of your amalgams. Like you, I'm working on some gut/digestive issues and recently the work of Dr Natasha Cambell-Mcbride has come to my attention. She speaks about her subject of gut issues with great conviction. Her theory regarding metals is that if the gut provides a (non leaky) barrier, then they will mostly be prevented from remaining in the body. I'm trying to follow her dietary recommendations.

Good luck on your search....it's a long road mate!

MAO

MAO - it's yeast! Yeeeaaast! lol

I reckon it's all frickin Candida! At the moment my regimen is colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract, calendula and EV coconut oil 3 times a day! Just started! hehe

I think I may be having die-off already! I also drink kefir!

But yeah, try something like that and see if you get relief from digestive symptoms!

Confident Hoppi is confident! ^_^

Oh, I also take ACV to cleanse my liver but I don't think my liver is the problem directly.

Die you crazy fungus xD

Hoppi and MAO this dentist seems pretty good http://www.hallvtox.dircon.co.uk/

I live in London and got my single Mercury filling removed in Harley st by Dr Harvey Austin but to be honest i wish i'd done a little more research first. He was ok but i just get a feeling that it could of been alot better as he didn't mention anything about chelation and i feel like i have much more mercury symptoms now then before especially anxiety to lots of different supplements.

Hoppi- Iv tried loads of different antifungals like you and it only made me worse, infact when i take anything now thats got anti bacterial properties i feel terrible. The GAPS diet that MAO is talking about seems a much better approach.

Anything thats anti bacterial also kills healthy bacteria too. I wonder if for me it has anything to do with me not having an appendix as iv read that the latest research shows the that appendix is a safe house for your good bacteria and it replenishes the gut when need be.

Anyone else here with digestive problems and no Appendix?
CS, what is your view on this?

I've been using coconut oil for sometime now in my diet - not sure if it helps, but I like it anyway. I purchased GSE for use topically, and only tried it once orally (to test for tolerance). I am a little hesitant to 'nuke' my gut flora (killing good and bad) and instead I'm trying to restore balance by using probiotics.

Like you I'm back on Kefir, which I dropped last year because I wanted to try a dairy free diet, which unsurprisingly made no difference at all. I'm using the same grains that you purchased and I enjoy this fizzy milk stuff quite a bit! I'm using (probably) the best milk you can get in the uk - A2 raw guernsey full fat non homogenised which I can get easily at my local farmers market. Natasha Cambell-Mcbride recommends the use of fermented dairy only, so that's the way I'm going. I might even clarify my butter (to give me ghee) which may help my gut. She also recommends using fermented vegetable foods (e.g. Sauerkraut and Kimchi). As a summer project I may start making my own ferments. These cultured foods are supposed to be eaten with all cooked meals to assist with digestion/gut flora balance.

I am also making yoghurt as per 'Little Fighters' recommendations - Lactobacillus GG and also Lactobacills Casei Shirota monocultures using pasteurised milk.

I hope all this makes a difference to my gut. I have noticed some changes (mild discomfort/bloating) which may be die-off, but I'm not sure.

Maybe the mercury adversely affects the gut flora, so 'supplementing' in this way may always be an uphill struggle.

Yah you gotta be careful, I agree. But it does seem like those who have had the best results used something like silver or GSE... although kefir I've seen some positives as well.

And pharm antifungals, they seem to cure some as well. Chelation is a factor as we've said, I've seen that running through things.

I'll throw water kefir into my regimen too to get more range in my probiotic strains, and not overdo the antifungals too quickly. I'll take my time and be collected and intelligent about this!

Wow, words that Hoppi hardly ever uses! ^_^



Peace!

Not having an appendix does require (for health) the incorporation of more probiotics, simply for the reasons you already stated.

The best thing one can do following a removal of amalgams or root canals is to have a IV-C, and the easy and convenient alternative to this is Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C.

Humifulvate would be a very good idea as well to help clear out the residual release of Mercury.

Oh... someone on CureZone said they don't use mercury in silver fillings anymore... they could be wrong though I dunno!

Have you seen the protocol that a dentist should follow prior to any mercury amalgam fillings removal ?

Pretty complicated. I don't know anyone here in France who is doing it the right way.

Here is the video :

much more mercury symptoms now then before especially anxiety to lots of different supplements.

I'll second CS recommendation of humifulvate. Humifulvate helped tremendously with my anxiety symptoms which were related to heavy metal toxicity. Before trying humifulvate I tried addressing the symptoms of anxiety etc with things like Sam-e, 5-HTP, and other things for anxiety like L-Theonine but they were only temporary. Humifulvate really works well if heavy metals are your problem. Of course it will help get you back to baseline if you combine humifulvate with other things that may help cognitive function at the same time. For example, initially I would take Lithium Orotate and some of the stuff above while chelating the heavy metals. Another good one is phosphatidylserine. The only things I do now to deal with stress is drink Tulsi tea (Holy Basil), Phosphatidylserine for better cognitive function in general, and meditate.

hapyman - Glad to hear the humifulvate has helped you! I was just looking at some new evidence earlier today about the effects of metals (in general) and how they are pathologically linked to anxiety symptoms.

I find that when I take humifulvate with iodine at night, I usually sleep really well and feel pretty good in the morning.

Hapyman,

Can you talk about how you took humilfulvate? How long did you take it? Did you cycle it? Did you take breaks from it?

Thanks

Ah, is humifulvate better than sulphur for chelating mercury?

I typically will buy a bottle of 30 and take them every night before bed on an empty stomach until the bottle is gone and then relax. The humifulvate I get is only $9.99 for a bottle of 30.

I actually am starting an interesting experiment from what I have read and did it for the first time last night. I wore my Silverado (Terminator 2) all night, took some humifulvate, ALA, ALC, Vitamin C, Lysine, and MSM before bed. I then take Lugol's Iodine in the morning on an empty stomach. Will see how it goes.
