Removal of mercury-silver amalgam fillings is only the first step in removing heavy metals
Perhaps you have never asked yourself this but… do you know what amalgam fillings are made of and what effects they have on the body?
They call them silver amalgam, to disguise it, but 50% of its composition is mercury.
Over time, as the metals in dentures deteriorate from use, these heavy metals begin to leach into the bloodstream. Once absorbed by the body, heavy metals can cause health problems ranging from headaches, bone pain, memory loss, skin discoloration, and a myriad of other ailments and disorders.
3 to 17 micrograms of mercury evaporate daily, according to the WHO. And much more if there is dental wear due to chewing or bruxism (night teeth grinding) or acidic drinks: it wears down the filling and releases and evaporates the mercury. When it comes to lead and mercury, any dose is toxic. Mercury accumulates in the brain, kidneys, liver, mucous membranes...
Heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, arsenic and uranium are among the most serious environmental poisons we are exposed to every day. Another heavy metal to watch out for is lead, which is found in old paint, dust residue, lipstick, and toys from China. Alarming evidence confirms that our bones have 1,000 times more lead than our ancestors did 500 years ago.
And, for those of us unfortunate enough to have mercury and lead in our systems due to amalgam fillings, the level of toxicity is increased 100-fold. In the face of this onslaught, and to maintain optimal health, it is imperative detoxify these heavy metals from the body.
Detoxification is the process of removing heavy metals
Detoxification is one of the most widely used treatments and concepts in medicine, and is a process that many holistic dentists recommend to all of their patients to remove heavy metals from the body, after removal of amalgam fillings. The science of detoxification is based on the principle that diseases can be caused by the accumulation of toxic substances (toxins) in the body and from the perspective of the holistic dentist, eliminating exposure by removing metal fillings and in turn cleansing the body is an essential part of the healing process.
Adopting a detoxification routine is essential for those patients who suffer from many diseases and chronic conditions. Detoxification can be considered a beneficial preventative measure and a tool to increase general health, vitality, and resistance to disease.
Symptoms for those suffering from conditions caused by heavy metals may include:
- Unexplained fatigue
- Increase in allergies.
- Hypersensitivity
- Intolerance to certain foods and indigestion
- Muscle discomfort
- Fever
- Migraines
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Sore throats
- Sudden weight loss or gain
- Weak immune system
- General malaise
Detox process
Removing heavy metals is not a simple purification of toxins. They are inorganic compounds that the body is not able to metabolize and therefore accumulate in the organs and tissues.To get rid of them, a biochemical phenomenon called "chelation" must occur, this is where fulvic acid plays a very important role since it is one of the few natural substances capable of trapping inorganic molecules of heavy metals and creating compounds that the body does can be eliminated through urine
For a substance to be a chelator, it must be soluble in water, capable of penetrating cells, forming non-toxic complexes by joining with metal ions, having low affinity for the calcium ion (Ca2+) and being rapidly excreted. This is where
Methionine is an amino acid found in fulvic acid that aids the digestive system's ability to remove heavy metals from the body, as it can be converted to cysteine, which is a precursor to glutathione, a substance of primary importance in liver detoxification. The amino acid methionine is also a great antioxidant since the sulfur it provides neutralizes free radicals. Some studies have also indicated that taking methionine can increase the body's ability to excrete mercury in the urine by up to 60 percent compared to patients not taking the amino acid supplement.
Treatment
Heavy metal detoxification can be a long process that can take from six months to several years and chelation therapy is the most widely used to remove heavy metals from the body.
Preparing to eliminate heavy metal toxins requires some thought and planning. In addition to consuming fulvic acid, drinking enough water is essential – without adequate hydration, toxins will become thicker and more difficult to remove. The human body is created to function best when it is provided with plenty of water to cleanse debris on a daily basis. Avoid drinking water during meals as this dilutes the natural digestive enzymes.
To support the elimination of toxins, a person's bowels should move at least once a day, EVERY day. High-fiber foods, such as psyllium seeds, can be taken to cleanse the digestive tract and promote elimination.
Other methods
Other methods used that can increase detoxification
Sauna
Fulvic acid contains more than 70 beneficial micronutrients that will help us restore our intestinal health, including:
The “sauna” has been used for centuries to reverse the symptoms of mercury poisoning in miners in Spain. This method of detoxification also prevents the kidneys from becoming overloaded, as toxins are eliminated through the pores. Dry sauna is very effective in mercury poisoning due to the fact that mercury content is higher in sweat compared to urine output. In other words, sweating is more efficient at removing mercury from the body.
Sweating
The skin is the body's detoxification system with the largest elimination surface in our body. Sweating can also be induced by doing light exercises for about 20 minutes three times a day. After exercise, a low-heat sauna or spending time under low-heat infrared lights will stimulate additional sweating. With this method it is important to ensure that you consume adequate amounts of fluids to prevent dehydration and promote elimination. Electrolytes are also lost during the sweating process, so make sure you consume products like
Bathing in a bathtub filled with hot water with baking soda and epsom salts is another option to the protocols mentioned above.
Other supplements for heavy metal detoxification
Research shows that C. albicans, the strain of candida that leads to systemic candida overgrowth, is often resistant to both fluconazole and itraconazole, the most commonly prescribed antifungal medications for candida.
Milk thistle (silymarin):
Silymarin protects the liver against toxins that could be potentially harmful to the organ. This supplement also increases the production of glutathione within the liver, a vital substance for liver detoxification. In one study, the use of milk thistle raised glutathione levels in the body by more than 30 percent, meaning the liver was more effective at cleansing the body of toxic substances.
Coriander:
Coriander has been found to remove heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, and lead from the body. It is believed to cross the blood-brain barrier and actually remove heavy metals from the brain. The argument that coriander is a powerful chelating agent is based on the research of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, President and Founder of the International College of Acupuncture and Electro-Therapeutics and Director of Medical Research at the Heart Disease Research Foundation. .
Chlorella:
This superfood captures heavy metals in the body so they can be eliminated through the digestive system. Chlorella is actually a cultivated algae that consists of phytoplankton. Contains vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin A, protein, iron and 19 different amino acids. When used to detoxify the body, chlorella helps deactivate heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium and removes them from the system naturally. Seaweed is available in many forms, including liquids, powders, capsules, and tablets.
Vitamin C, administered intravenously or orally in various forms, is a common component in the detoxification protocol.
It is important to keep in mind that detoxification is a process and that people may have varying responses to similar treatments. Instead of getting confused or frustrated with the varieties of detoxification programs it is better to follow the advice of a professional such as an experienced holistic dentist.
A 2003 macro-report by Maths Berlin, a world-renowned toxicologist, concludes calling for a ban on mercury amalgams: he attributes autoimmune diseases to them in one out of every hundred cases!
