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.)
Here are some holistic dental organizations for information about biological dentists in your area:

When I was diagnosed with MS, I immediately initiated a process of elimination. Removing my amalgams was one of them. I did Candida cleanse, a diet of almost no sugar. I lost alot of weight and my symptoms were minimal after numb hands and abdomen, vertigo and extreme fatigue.
I also received a controversial surgery called liberation. CCSVI. Basically angioplasty for MS, opening the jugulars. It seemed to help, immediately eliminating fatigue and weakness. I was immediately more alert and senses were almost overwhelmed immediately. I still feel great seven years later. Diagnosed almost 20 years ago and doing great. Now if I could just get rid of my vocal problems due to acid reflux. My vocal folds have very minimal adema. No varocities or nodes yet I get a mid range flutter and the quality is not there. Also extreme awareness of my head space when singing. Hollow effect in sinuses. Mucous retention cyst in one sinus.
Top to bottom: vocal challenge with adema on vocal cords, hiatal hernia, Gastritis, mild diverticulosis, external hemorrhoids. Had hysterectomy due to cysts on ovaries and fibroids in the uterus. Still have one ovary.
All related to our modern day diet no doubt. Help!
Hi Kathy, I am so happy that you are finding answers to your serious issues. I have an acid reflux ebook which is very reasonable. It is only $7. You might want to take a look at it. It helps singers worldwide with their issues of acid reflux. If you have a hiatal hernia, I can send you some links for self help in that area. One thing for sure is the protocol I suggest in my acid reflux book may completely heal your hiatal hernia as well. Please keep in touch! Kathy
