| For example, the longer one is exposed to lead, the more it accumulates in the body, and the more the nerves in the lower body respond by degenerating. Even mercury fillings in our teeth are problematic. The good news is that metals can be removed from the body by the removal of mercury fillings and by undergoing chelation therapy. Large numbers of people report that after these two processes, not only do the pins and needles sensations disappear, but also circulation improves throughout the body.
Vitamin C, especially as an intravenous drip, is another important measure. |

 When considering removing mercury fillings, the potential benefits should be weighed against the cost and the risk of damage to the teeth.
Many other environmental chemicals have been shown to affect human health. While space does not permit a discussion of every known pollutant, we recommend that you remain aware of when you are being exposed to toxic chemicals, and try to avoid unnecessary exposure as much as possible.

 Some ask their dentists to remove their mercury fillings. Others invest in "adrenal support" supplements. Jeanne is one patient who had been through many traditional and alternative treatments before scheduling an appointment with Pat.
Jeanne always had been an active, energetic woman. In addition to raising five children, she enjoyed tending a houseful of animals as well as her extensive gardens. As her kids grew up and started families of their own, Jeanne's farm continued to be the center of their activity. She was blessed with excellent health and many creative and fulfilling interests. |

| Undisclosed Alternatives
National and state dental associations have insisted for decades that mercury fillings are not harmful, despite the fact that nearly 100 studies show that this is untrue. Not long ago, the California legislature sharply rebuked the California Dental Association for not letting patients know that there are harmless alternatives to mercury fillings. Inasmuch as most California newspapers carried this story, more of the state's population knows about these alternatives. |

 More Illogical Thinking of Health Issues
Why are mercury fillings not allowed in pregnant women or young children but allowed to be used in filling dental cavities in everyone else? California implemented regulations concerning this early in 2003, and lawsuits in relation to this and similar issues are pending in Georgia, Ohio, Texas, Maryland, New York and California. Mercury and other dental metals are toxic.40a"c It appears the proof of mercury toxicity danger, in animals and humans, certainly can no longer be denied. |

 The incorrect removal of mercury fillings can actually result in higher mercury levels being released in the body. In addition, I recommend that you work with a health care practitioner who is knowledgeable about mercury toxicity and skilled in the use of agents to detoxify the body. Mercury is a very dangerous substance; often it takes a "team" working together to get the best results. The removal of mercury fillings is an expensive process and one that must be done with great care. |

 Well, here's what you probably don't know about your mercury fillings, courtesy of David Kennedy, D.D.S., a dentist in San Diego.
• Chewing gum puts friction on mercury fillings, which causes the level of mercury vapor in your mouth to rise.
• Experimental rats that inhaled the same level of mercury present in the mouths of some people with numerous amalgam fillings developed lesions similar to those found in patients with Alzheimer's disease. And some studies have concluded that "mercury must be considered as a potential source for the [cause] of Alzheimer's disease. |

| Remove mercury fillings with a holistic dentist. Take grape seed extract (from 200 to 2,000 mg), germanium (150 mg), and reduced L-glutathione (300 mg). Do aromatherapy with lavender and rosemary. Take DMG, L-arginine with MSM, and lots of vitamin C, quercetin, and herbal teas. Juice throughout the day, concentrating particularly on garlic, onion, ginger, and aloe vera juices—the juices that are most helpful with colds and flu. Cleanse the colon and stimulate the liver to flush and release its toxins so it can properly metabolize and detoxify the body. Practice stress management. |

| Often, the removal of mercury fillings can be done gradually, as the fillings need to be replaced. However, the presence of a chronic illness will often necessitate a more urgent response. Whether you should have your mercury fillings removed should be discussed with a health care provider who is knowledgeable about mercury toxicity.
Mercury Exposure and Thyroid Abnormalities
Mercury has been shown to bind to the thyroid gland and disrupt its functioning.7 8 Mercury binds very tightly to fatty tissues of the body (i.e., the brain) and to cells with sulfhydryl groups. |

There have been several incidences of widespread mercury poisoning with dramatic reproductive and fetal effects as a result of industrial pollution. The most famous occurred in Minimata, Japan, in the 1950s when a local manufacturing plant disposed of its inorganic mercury wastes by dumping them into the nearby bay. The inorganic mercury was converted to meth-ylmercury by aquatic microorganisms, resulting in the contamination of local seafood. |

 Prolonged exposure to these types of hazards necessitates immediate attention before the damage becomes irreversible. mercury fillings can be removed and replaced with less hazardous substances, while heavy metal accumulations can be eliminated via chelation therapy.
There are two holistic remedies that have proven to be especially effective in ameliorating neuropathies: ozone therapy and vitamin C therapy. Ozone therapy enhances the detoxification of tissue by heightening the elasticity of red blood cells, which are then able to infiltrate small arteries and nourish the nerve cells. |

Smoking can cause headaches, according to Dr. Milne. Nicotine constricts the blood vessels while inhaled carbon monoxide overly expands them, thus creating a condition that often triggers migraines and cluster headaches. Dr. Milne also points out that smoking cuts down the effectiveness of pain relievers and may disrupt the nutritional balance of the body. |

 The American Dental Association protests that mercury is stable when mixed with other metals such as silver, tin, and zinc in a filling. But mercury fillings have never been tested for safety by the FDA, and dentists themselves keep scrap amalgam in an airtight jar. The EPA has banned mercury from indoor latex paint because of the dangers of mercury poisoning, yet the vapor level in a patient's mouth after chewing during a typical meal is sometimes as much as ninety times higher than the vapor level in a newly painted room. |

 Many believe this is a tactical move in anticipation of a class action suit against dental associations due to the mountain of information that is accumulating about the health dangers from mercury fillings. There are dental practitioners who specialize in the safe removal of mercury amalgams.
Mercury may be safely removed from the tissues with proper chelation. The agent we prefer for mercury chelation is DMSA.

CAN mercury fillings CONTRIBUTE TO ALZHEIMER'S?
New research reported by pioneering dentist Hal A. Huggins, D.D.S., suggests that once even minute amounts of mercury enter the brain, they can seriously damage nerve cells and produce the physical and structural damage of brain tissue now linked to Alzheimer's. The biochemistry is complex, but mercury damages a key enzyme needed for the brain's energy processes called creatine kinase. |
| However, this level is increasingly achieved only by those who have no mercury fillings. For the rest of us, the highs are climbing and the lows are dropping. The norm for WBCs has been changing in the last 30 years and it may be due to increased mercury exposure. The evidence now shows that mercury amalgam fillings are the major source of mercury exposure for the general public, at rates six times higher than found in fish and seafood. In fact, the new copper dental amalgams, first introduced in 1976, release 50 times more mercury than the 'conventional' dental amalgams previously in use. |
| However, the number of mercury fillings does not seem to be related to the severity of Alzheimer's. The real criterion is to what degree the mercury, as a brain toxin, challenges the immune system. other forms of senile dementia focus on dietary changes, nutritional supplementation, herbs, environmental medicine and detoxification, as well as exercise (mental and physical) and stress reduction.

 If you live like the average person with a deficient diet—full of excess fats, animal proteins, sugars, bacteria, viruses, parasites— have mercury fillings, and are exposed to pollutants from the air and water, then you have a whole body filled with these contaminants that are more than the body's immune system can handle. Then you start to show it externally where before it only showed up internally. A gene that is predisposed to balding, thinning, or graying is going to do exactly that because there's nothing there in abundance to change the gene. It has exceeded the genetic threshold. |

| If you have mercury fillings, what can you do to protect your health? Since the mineral selenium displaces mercury in your body and helps usher it out of your system, Dr. Kennedy suggests taking 200 micrograms a day.
A daily dose of 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C can also help protect your body from mercury poisoning from fillings, says James Hardy, D.M.D., a holistic dentist in Winter Park, Florida.
He also recommends eating a lot of cilantro. "I think it's the best herb for removing heavy metals such as mercury from your system," he says. |
