The Relationship Between Mercury Poisoning from Amalgam Fillings and Candida Overgrowth

We have discussed the severe problems with mercury-laden silver fillings. Mercury is one of the most toxic metals in the world and amalgams contain 45% mercury. Dr. Louisa Williams’ important book called Radical Medicine”points to research done by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt in the 1990’s that shows how mercury amalgams initiate candida overgrowth.

He states that:
“Mercury suffocates the intracellular respiratory mechanism and can cause cell death. So, the immune system makes a deal: it cultivates fungi and bacteria that can bind large amounts of toxic metals. The gain:the cells can breathe. The cost: the system has to provide nutrition for the microorganisms and has to deal with their metabolic products.”

Also from the book The Mercury in Your Mouth-The Truth About Dental Fillings, it states that:

Indigestion and weak stomach acid are associated with mercury toxicity. The gastrointestinal tract is one of the organ systems which absorbs the highest concentration of mercury. Fillings are constantly bathed in saliva. When the immune system is weakened by mercury, candida fungus multiplies rapidly.

Although the removal of dental amalgams is a very complicated process and a biological dentist must thoroughly assess the health of the patient before removal can be recommended, the eventual removal of these amalgams is a prudent step in long-term health. Removing mercury amalgams along with a nutrient-dense diet will help to alleviate the pervasive health problems associated with Candida overgrowth and dysbiosis significantly.

Oral detoxification of toxic chemicals, metals and microbes through “Karack’s Oil Treatment.”

Besides building health through eating a diet of nutrient-dense traditional foods, utilizing many effective ways to help our bodies detoxify toxic chemicals, metals and microbes should be an ongoing pursuit. The oil pulling therapy of Dr. Karack is another helpful protocol you can try.

Below is a great description of Karack’s Oil Treatment, which is highly recommended by many holistic practitioners including Dr. Louisa Williams in her book Radical Medicine. In Chapter 2 of her book, “Detoxification of Toxic Metals and Chemicals,” she discusses this Ayurvedic treatment’s benefit for use immediately after the removal of mercury amalgam fillings. However it can be used by anyone on a regular basis for aiding the regular detoxification of the body. Besides using unrefined sesame oil, we have also heard of people who have used organic coconut oil.

DR. KARACK’S OIL THERAPY TREATMENT

Procedure

In the morning before breakfast, on an empty stomach, take 1 tablespoon of cold pressed unrefined sesame oil in the mouth, but do not swallow. Swish the oil around the mouth, “chew It”  and mix it with your saliva for 10-20 minutes. Then spit it into the toilet bowl.

Chewing activates the enzymes which draw toxins out of the blood. And In 10-15 minutes, the blood from the entire body has had the opportunity to circulate through and around the mouth. After 10-20 minutes the oil should be thinner and white. If it is still yellow, you have not held it in your mouth long enough. (10 minutes the first week is usually sufficient, then increase to 15-20 minutes as you get clearer.)

Immediately brush your gums, teeth, and tongue with warm salt/soda water
1 cup water to 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp soda, or with food grade hydrogen peroxide diluted in water. Then gargle and spit with the remaining salt/soda water. It is also helpful to tip the cup under the nose and gently sniff up the water to clean the nasal passages. Then gently blow the nose.
The sink should be cleaned afterward because the saliva contains harmful bacteria and toxic bodily waste.

Repeat this procedure two to three times a day, before meals, on an empty stomach. Continue this procedure until you are healthy I (few weeks to years…).

Discussion

This procedure has been helpful to curative in almost every disease or dysfunctional immune state that Dr. Karack has encountered.

We have found the same amazing results. especially in patients who are detoxing their petroleum solvents. Remember that petroleum solvents are lipophilic and will readily be absorbed into the oil. Additionally, the toxic metals/minerals form soap complexes with the oil, and can then be easily eliminated through spitting.

This oil technique has also had a major effect on chronic, severely toxic patients. Although neural therapy is excellent for a mild to moderate toxic tonsil focus, severely damaged tonsils can often be saved from surgery with the addition of Dr. Karack’s technique. And since the tonsils are the first filtering system in the body for orally ingested toxins, this treatment helps boost everyone’s immune system functioning through increased lymphatic cleansing of that area. Remember, too, that even If you have had a tonsillectomy, the lymphatics in the tonsil area are still trying to function as a filter, and neutralize ingested toxins and manufactured microbes in the oral cavity.

Amalgam fillings (silver fillings), mercury toxicity and your health.

Although a nutrient-dense diet is a major step to healing and building optimal health, removing amalgam fillings is extremely important as they are a major source of heavy metal toxicity in the body and may keep you from achieving the level of health that you seek.

Did you realize that the “safe” amalgam “silver” fillings in your mouth are 49-54% mercury, 35% silver, 12% tin and 3% copper? That’s a lot of mercury! Mercury is extremely toxic in very small amounts, and has been linked to many neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis. In heavy metal tests done on people with these types of illnesses, mercury is often seen at very high levels.  Mercury in small amounts can cause brain lesions as it can alter the cell membrane structure of developing brain neurons resulting in their rapid degeneration. You can see this happening in the link to the following study:

There is a constant mercury vapor that is released from amalgam fillings even after 50 years! See www.uninformedconsent.org. If a person has two or more types of metals in their mouth it can actually create an electric current, called “dental galvanism”, thereby increasing the rate of mercury corrosion from 10-20 times. Heavy metals migrate to fatty tissues like the tissues of the brain and the myelin sheath that protects nerve cells.

For good health, it is extremely important to consider removing amalgam fillings very carefully. It should be done with a highly qualified biological dentist who understands the correct protocol of removal of only one quadrant at a time and detoxification remedies following the removal. Some excellent detox remedies are Gemmotherapy Plant Stem Cells (www.plantstemcells.net), Organic Sulfur (organicsulfur@sisna.com) and Original Quinton Marine Plasma (www.originalquintonplasma.com) For even more information on proper removal of amalgams see Dr. Louisa Williams and her book called Radical Medicine (www.radicalmedicine.com.)
