Dr. Callebout and other alternative practitioners recommend thorough testing to get a clear picture of the individual's condition. "First, I would do a 'sweat mineral test' to detect possible heavy metal toxicity and general mineral status," he says."In many respects, this yields more accurate information than either a hair analysis or blood test. |

Dental enamel is a unique tissue, being the most highly calcified component of the body, containing 90 per cent calcium phosphate. Thus calcium supplements are indicated. Any underlying cause should be treated. Chronic infection of the teeth may track a long way from its source and present as a sinus on the face, or neck. |

After the mercury fillings have been removed, a challenge test should be performed to see how much mercury is still left in the body. DMSA and DMPS are examples of agents that have been shown to be reliable in testing for levels of mercury and other heavy metals. The challenge test was described on page 216. | | 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. Many enzymes contain sulfhydryl groups that cause many crucial reactions to happen in the body. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The removal of mercury fillings is an expensive process and one that must be done with great care. A dentist who is knowledgeable about the dangers of mercury can be found by contacting the following organizations:
1. DAMS organization: (800) 311 -6265
2. International Academy of Oral Medical Toxicology (IAOMT): (407) 299-4149
My experience has shown that elevated mercury levels are directly correlated with chronic illnesses such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, cancer and others. I have consistently seen higher mercury levels in those who surfer from a chronic illness. | | After the mercury fillings have been removed, a challenge test should be performed to see how much mercury is still left in the body. DMSA and DMPS are examples of agents that have been shown to be reliable in testing for mercury (and other heavy metals) levels. The challenge test was described on Page 205.
Step 2: Improve The Diet
The second step in a detoxification program is eating healthy foods that provide vitamins and minerals that aid the body in the detoxification process. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  When individuals with multiple sclerosis have had their mercury fillings taken out, there have been substantial improvements in their conditions. The same has been found to be true for other medical problems. We've seen people with neurological damage, including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, improve. People who have suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome for many years have shown marked improvement after the removal of mercury amalgam fillings from their teeth.
Then, we have aluminum from antacids and cookware. |
David Brownstein
See book keywords and concepts |  Removing mercury fillings without taking the proper precautions can cause an elevated mercury release in the body and immune system malfunction.
Mercury and other heavy metal detoxification requires extreme care and close monitoring. Monitoring should include measurement of pre- and post- levels of heavy metals to check progress. I prefer using urine challenge tests, including the use of DMSA, DMPS, and Glutathione. Supplements helpful in the detoxification process include: cilantro, Vitamin C, selenium, garlic and others.

See book keywords and concepts | | I have found that using DMSA (an oral mercury chelating agent) about one hour before removal of mercury fillings can be very helpful in keeping mercury levels low. In addition, the use of supplements can help keep detoxification pathways optimally functioning and help the body rid itself of toxins such as mercury. For a list of supplements recommended, see Figure 7 below.
1. Vitamin C: 3 OOOmg/day
2. Vitamin E: 800IU/day
3. Garlic: 500mg/day
4. Cilantro drops: 4/day
5. L-Glutamine: 3-6g/day
6. Selenium: 400mcg/day

Liver: The Inner Protector
Several studies show that a healthy liver uses enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) to detoxify poisonous chemicals, converting them to harmless water-soluble compounds that drain away in the urine. Like other organs, the liver has limitations. Constant abuse causes faster use of transforming enzymes than they can be synthesized. |
Patrick Quillin, PhD,RD,CNS
See book keywords and concepts |  With more than 90% of the American population sporting at least a few mercury fillings in their teeth, the subject of mercury poisoning has become a hot topic. Lewis Carroll's classic book, Alice in Wonderland, showcased the "mad hatter" as representative of an industry that whimsically used mercury to give stiffness to formal felt hats. Mercury is a deadly poison, and putting it in the mouth to erode over the years and eventually be swallowed is just plain ridiculous. | | Some people have found relief from a wide assortment of diseases, including cancer, by having their mercury fillings replaced with non-toxic ceramic or gold material.
-Chelation of heavy metals. Lead poisoning is much more common than mercury poisoning. Though our use of lead is starting to be reduced, lead is a clearcut immune poison and has been targeted by the Environmental Protection Agency as a "top priority" cleanup item. Chelation therapy involves injecting chemicals (like EDTA) that put the heavy metal in a molecular "cage" and carry it out of the body in the urine. |
Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts |  When patients have mercury fillings removed from their mouths, they often see improvement, although it may be held back by the mercury already in the body. Dr. Michael Schachter has seen patients both whose blood tests have gone from abnormal to normal once silver fillings were removed and victims of MS and chronic fatigue syndrome whose conditions have markedly improved once fillings were taken out.
Dr. Zeines has seen improved memory, better sleep, and less nervousness. | | The subjects were then given mercury fillings, the count was taken a second time, and the amount of T cells went down 35 percent. The fillings were then removed, and lo and behold the T cell count climbed back to its previous level. The article's conclusion was that mercury and nickel in these fillings adversely affect the quality and quantity of T cells.
Other important studies drawing attention to the danger of mercury are Palkiewicz, P., Zwiers, H., Lorscheider, F. (1994) Journal ofNeurochemistry, vol. 62, pp. 2049-2052, and Duhr, E., Pendergrass, C, Kasarskis, E., Slevin, J., and Haley B. |

Dr. Cass Ingram
See book keywords and concepts |  Research indicates that mercury fillings poison the kidneys, brain, adrenal glands, and liver. The best means of treatment is to remove the mercury load from the body. Existing fillings should be removed and additional ones should be avoided.
All mercury compounds are aggressive poisons. They act by destroying the protein of human cells, in other words, they decimate human enzyme systems. The enzymes are absolutely critical for the existence of the body's life forces. In addition, mercury binds to cell membrane proteins, leading to the rupture of cells. |
The Garlic CureJames F. Scheer, Lynn Allison and Charlie Fox
See book keywords and concepts | | 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. Some of the wire services, radio and TV networks and cable systems also featured this story, so the California legislature has performed a valuable service to the nation.
However, toxic minerals are not the only causes of cancer. |

Treating Heavy Metal Toxicity
Once a diagnosis of elevated heavy metals is made, an appropriate detoxification program should be implemented. Detoxification is necessary to allow the immune system to regain strength and to restore the proper functioning of the cells of the body.
A proper detoxification program should contain five steps:
1. Removal of the source of toxicity
2. Improvement of the diet in order to nourish the body
