I have some major ones in my leg and wondering can these make you sicker?

Do they also leach metals into the body?

Or is there anyone out there who has them and has still gotten better?

Is this a major barrier to recovery?

I have two dental implants but they are made of titanium. No issues that I know of.

I had one titanium dental implant, before they developed the circonium/carbon based/non-metal ones.

The implant was the first to be removed when I got ill. The tooth always felt slightly warm from day one. For me, it was
a mistake to put titanium into the mercury-laden mouth. Titanium is not what doctors and dentists make us believe - it is not inert. www.melisa.org

Some may be able to compensate the different metal resonating with the different dental metals in my mouth. It stressed my system 24/7 until it was removed.

Not everyone reacts the same. But one need to be aware.

Take care.

I have 2 titanium plates and about 10 screws in my tibia. I don't think it has made a difference.

I do not have titanium plate (yet) but just wanted to share the info. I recieved from both my LLMD and Neurosurgeon regarding this.

NS said that the type of titanium plate that is used for the skull does not leach metal or decay. I am not sure I believe him though... He does recommend that everyone get tested for titanium allergy prior to getting any titanium in the body, so that might be a consideration.

A friend of mine had hip replacement with titanium and was not really feeling well 3 years post op. They came to find there was a problem with the titanium - not sure what sort of problem but they had it replaced.

When I asked my LLMD about a metal in the body his comment was more around having any sort of surgery with lyme. Some concern about having titanium in the body but might be okay as long as there are no allergies to it.

With that said, there is always the potential for lyme to take up residence in areas of weakness and past truama/surgery.

I had a titanium dental implant in late 2009 and lost hearing in the ear on that side Jan. 2011. I am now sure that I had lyme disease at that time without knowing it.

I never felt like things were right after that implant. But all of my visits to the dentist, oral surgeon and x-rays could not validate any problem with it.

I would like to find out if I am allergic to titanium. I am going to discuss this with my LLNP next visit. Thanks for starting this post, Maya.

Gigi,
Could you let us know what your symptoms were before you had the dental implant removed and how having it removed changed things for you?

Did you know you were allergic to titanium before you decided to have the implant removed?

What did you do for that lost tooth once the implant was removed?

Thanks so much.

dbpei, My symptoms were so serious - I was deadly ill. I had no choice but to remove all my root canals and the implant - to free at least my mouth of toxic metals. That of course still left major toxic metal deposits in every body compartment, mainly the brain and central nervous system.

I was allergic to most toxic metals and my body could not deal with any of them, did not recognize them. I took care of the most immediate problems with the Allergie Immun Therapy. But it still meant to get the metals out of organs, joints, connective tissue, etc.

I got over Lyme a long time ago, but not over the just as devastating parasites and am now doing MMS. It also "neutralizes" the toxic metals, whatever that means. But I feel wonderful on MMS

http://phaelosopher.com/2007/09/09/no-miracle-just-wonderful-chemistry/

disposing of all sorts of things that should not be there.

I have dealt with all the problems of Lyme and Co and their after effects, and MMS is taking care of the rest.

I give you this link to read and learn, if it is of interest.

I have none of my god-given teeth left - root canals and crowns of different alloys destroying the gums and brain connection took care of that.
I would never put a piece of metal, any metal, into my mouth again. Metal and saliva create electrogalvanism - just like a car battery! I do not think tiitanium is any exception. If I had had only one lost tooth, I would have chosen a partial of non-metal. That depends on the location and tolerance to the material.

I wish, I wish I had MMS back then.

This should answer Maya12's question also. I had a plate and 7 screws in a broken heal, but Dr. K. pushed me to have the metal removed after a year and so I did. But of course the leaching of the metals into the body is well on its way once the metal is installed, and some of my hair tests showed titanium coming out of my body, a couple of months ago ----- the implant was removed in 1998!!!!!!

I am glad for MMS and hope many people start to learn about it.

Take care and good wishes for all.

My dental implants have been in for 6 years at least, maybe longer. Never felt any issues from them.

I have been chelating with cilantro and chlorella for the past 6 months or so. I don't think my symptoms have worsened. In fact, there is some improvement.

I have been taking 1 gram of chlorella 1/2 hour before meals and at bedtime. One week during the month, I take cilantro (10 drops) about 10 minutes before breakfast and then again at bedtime. When I am taking cilantro, I take more chlorella - working up to about twice as much. I also start the cilantro at 5 drops and work my way up to 10.

But you are supposed to only do this about 1 week out of every 3 or 4. This is Dr. K's suggestion. My LLNP did go to some of his trainings but is not a certified ART practitioner.

My head vibrations are less frequent and intense since doing the chelation. My thinking is also clearer and my immune system is kicking in now. I am off all ABX, but taking herbals - Samento and Banderol.

I just started Salt C last week. Feeling a little strange at times, but hope it will work along with everything else to zap the bugs/parasites still causing trouble.
