EDTA Chelation Therapy
"Studies confirm that heavy metals can directly influence behavior by impairing mental and neurological function, influencing neurotransmitter production and utilization, and altering numerous metabolic body processes. Systems in which toxic metal elements can induce impairment and dysfunction include the blood and cardiovascular, detoxification pathways (colon, liver, kidneys, skin), endocrine (hormonal), energy production pathways, enzymatic, gastrointestinal, immune, nervous (central and peripheral), reproductive, and urinary."

Environmental Medicine, Part Three: Long-Term Effects of Chronic Low-Dose Mercury Exposure (archived)
"Mercury is also known to inhibit synaptic uptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Mercury apparently has a higher binding affinity for serotonin binding sites."

"The recognized psychological symptoms of mercury toxicity include irritability, excitability, temper outburst, quarreling, fearfulness, restlessness, depression, and in some cases insomnia. In a study of individuals with amalgam fillings who had them removed, the majority noted psychological improvement. The greatest improvements were found in anger outbursts, depression, irritability, and fatigue. None of these manifestations are surprising when mercury's inhibitory effect on serotonin is considered"

Amalgam Fillings
"Biological dentistry is crucial. This is a DDS specially trained in the proper removal of amalgams. This is a specialty so do NOT let your general DDS do."

Candida Yeast Infection and the Metal Toxicity Connection
"candida binds to heavy metals (even in your amalgam fillings) and overgrows as the body performs a desperate attempt to protect itself against heavy metal poisoning."

Mercury, the Root of Depression, anger, Anxiety, and Violence
"most profound discovery that amalgam mercury effects the neurotransmitters' uptake of dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine and provides a biochemical basis for why people who have amalgam dental fillings experience significantly higher levels of depression, excessive anger, and anxiety than controls without amalgams."

Looking for the silver lining
"a holistic, mercury-free dentist in Scranton, PA, who, over a period of several months , carefully removed her amalgam fillings replacing them with white composites. An integrative physician familiar with the symptoms of mercury poisoning helped her safely detoxify. "Today I feel reborn, Koss says. "My energy is incredible, my brain fog is clearing, I regained my equilibrium, and I feel better than I have for years" "exposure to mercury from a pregnant woman’s teeth passing through the placenta to the fetus’ developing brain and mercury preservative in infant vaccines contributes to the current epidemic of autism in American children."

Chelation

EDTA Chelation Therapy
"Chelating (pronounced key-layting) agents are substances which can chemically bond with, or chelate (from the Greek chele, claw), metals, minerals, or chemical toxins from the body. The chelating agent actually encircles a mineral or metal ion and carries it from the body via the urine and feces."

It is therefore recommended that you go through chelation therapy only under the direct supervision of a trained, and experience, professional."

Find a Doctor

Be careful as one only has to take one course to get on a specialized list of doctors. Ask Questions and get a recommendation if you can.

Please do not get your metal fillings out if you do not plan to do some form of chelation. And do not stop chelation until all metal is gone. The process of drilling on mercury fillings, makes you even more toxic than before. Some say never to chelate if fillings are still in your mouth, but others say you have to because of the mercury being absorbed during the removal process.

Getting fillings removed incorrectly or getting chelated incorrectly can make you sicker than you already were. So please, get professional advice and be careful.

Do not use hair analysis or a blood test to test for heavy metals. These only find mercury you have been exposed in the last few days. Use DMPS challenge test.

These doctors work with imbalances in the body including heavy metal toxicity. They try to get to the root of the problem verses covering up symptoms with drugs. A doctor from this list might be able to guide you in how to safely get your metal fillings replaced and detox your body once this is completed.

questions to ask your dentist
Many dentists don't use the rubber dam anymore. They say the metal gets caught under the dam, and stays in contact with bottom of mouth too long. They prefer to suck up metal pieces as they become dislodged to prevent them from going down throat.

The Down Side of Chelation

I did not tolerate IV or oral Chelation very well at all. I ended up in the hospital after trying both of these things. Other people have also had trouble with chelation, so if you try it use low doses, and leave plenty of time between sessions, to build back your mineral levels. To find out what problems people are having with chelation see this site.
