This is not a new topic, but every time I run across it, I become again aware of its miserable consequences.
How Mercury Disrupts the Body
Once it has leached from the dental fillings and infiltrated the body, mercury becomes a neurotoxin, says Dr. Klinghardt. Strangely, a neurotoxin is a substance the nerve cells voluntarily absorb, even though it is poisonous.
They do this out of curiosity, Dr. Klinghardt explains. Nerve endings in the peripheral nervous system constantly scan their environment, engulfing foreign particles and bringing them across the cell membrane for inspection. ``The substances may then travel all the way up from the foot to the spinal cord and get presented to the nerve cells there.'' If the substance is judged to be harmful, the body tries to produce an antitoxin to neutralize it and eliminate it from the body.
But there are two problems here when it comes to mercury, Dr. Klinghardt cautions. ``As it travels up in the nerve, it destroys the body's mechanism and substance, called tubulin, for transporting substances in the nerves (breaking down the bridges behind it, as it were), and in effect, destroying the nerve. Second, the body has not yet learned how to make an ant-neurotoxin against mercury.''
Laboratory studies have shown that within 24 hours of injecting a minute dose of mercury into a muscle anywhere in the body (monkeys were used in the study), it would be present in the spinal cord and brain. The mercury was also present in the kidneys, lungs, bloodstream, connective tissue, and adrenal and other endocrine glands. In the brain, it tended to congregate in the hypothalamus, which regulates the sympathetic nervous system, and in the limbic system (associated with the brainstem), believed to be the organic seat of emotions.
While mercury levels slowly dissipate in a predictable amount of time from other body tissues and even from the teeth (in six weeks, its levels might be halved), mercury does not have a ``half-life'' in the nervous system or brain. Instead, it binds firmly to a specific chemical compound which happens to exist there in the body's highest concentrations.
``The main devastating effect of mercury in the nervous system is that it interferes with the energy production inside each cell,'' says Dr. Klinghardt. ``The nerve cell is impaired in its ability to detoxicy itself {and excrete the mercury} and in its ability to nurture itself. The cell becomes toxic and dies, or lives in a state of chronic malnutrition. A multitude of illnesses, usually associated with neurological symptoms, result''. Among these are chronic viral and fungal illnesses, recurrent episodes of bacterial infections, and chronic fatigue.
By a curious self-preservation reflex of the body, the emergence of these conditions can be viewed as a way of accommodating the heavy metal presence, speculates Dr. Klinghardt. ``Most, if not all chronic infectious diseases are not caused by a failure of the immune system, but are a conscious adaptation of the immune system to an otherwise lethal heavy metal environment.''
Mercury suffocates the cells and they die, so the immune system cultivates fungi and bacteria which are able to bind large amounts of the toxic metal in their respective cell walls, thereby enabling the patient's cells to breathe again. The downside, of course, is that the body must now feed these otherwise undesirable microbes and deal with their toxic waste. In addition, a person with mercury contamination often becomes zinc deficient and the functioning of copper and other minerals in the body will be compromised as well.
This perspective leads Dr. Klinghardt to the following strong statement: ``As soon as anybody has any type of medical illness or symptom, whether medical or emotional, the amalagam fillings should be removed and the mercury residue should be eliminated from the body, especially the brain.'' (Simply removing the amalgam fillings is not enough for the chronically ill. That is just the start in order to stop the source of contamination. The detoxing of all of the body has to follow to get improvement. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes it takes years before most of it is out of the body. Relief will come gradually as the toxic load is reduced. GG)
Neural therapy is useful in treating mercury-based problems in the nerve ganglia, says Dr. Klinghardt. Mercury, as a heavy metal (which means heavier than water) tends to accumulate in the lowest parts of the body, such as the floor of the mouth, the pelvic floor, and the feet. Pelvic symptoms in both men and women, ``are very commonly caused by metal toxicity of the Frankenhaeuser ganglia.''.
A mercury accumulation in this nerve plexus can account for premature ejaculation and an enlarged prostate in men, and endometriosis, pelvic pain, and hormonal dysfunction in women, Dr. Klinghardt says. Neural therapy ``cleans up'' this area by injecting the Frankenhaeuser ganglia (just above the pubic bone) with a local anesthetic.
``This opens up most of the ionic channels in the cell wall; the cell is then able to excrete a high number of its toxic components.'' This painless injection spurs the body to dump a large amount of mercury into the urine, Dr. KLINGHARDT SAYS.
``VERY OFTEN, AT THE SAME TIME, ANY EMOTIONAL MATERIAL THE PATIENT HASN'T WORKED OUT BEFORE, MOSTLY TO DO WITH SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT OR ABUSE FROM EARLIER YEARS, WILL BE REMEMBERED. A MEMORY THAT WAS NOT ACCESSIBLE BEFORE WILL BE SUDDENLY RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF A PATIENT, VERY ALIVE, AND ONE WILL MOMENTARILY RELIVE SOME OF THE TRAUMATIC MOMENTS FROM THEIR PAST WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT BODY REGION.''
Take care.

If I have a mercury filling do I need to worry about this?
I really can't take ANOTHER hit to my moral.
Also, I have a retainer in on the bottom of my teeth.

I have a single mercury filling, I can (probably) afford to have it replaced with a composite material... I wander if it is worth it, then I wouldn't have to worry about its effects down the line?
my girlfriend has a permanent retainer on her bottom set of teeth...isnt mercury fillings what is holding it to her teeth?

Do it!! replace it. It's not worth it to be poisoning yourself. I only had one mercury filling and that one alone has cause problems on that entire side of my head where it was.

Metals have no place in the mouth. If you happen to have different metals, together with the saliva, they create electromagnetism that acts like a car battery. Add a pair of metal containing eyeglasses and a watch with different metals on the wrist, and who knows what the effect is to our very delicate nervous system.
My husband had five different metals in the mouth because of some crowns made of different alloys.
With or without any neurological problems, you will be safer without metals. The mercury is leaving your tooth as we are here talking about it. Here is a tooth with an amalgam filling that was pulled years ago. It is still smoking. The mercury usually ends up in the head/brain/brainstem and getting it back out from there is quite a chore.
Take care.

I have read many things about this over the years. It was enough to scare me into never letting the dentist put mercury into my children's teeth..However I have some.
If I put anything metal into my mouth, I usually also get some type of reaction. This would be doing something stupid like needles, pins, etc while sewing..Remember this just from yesterday while opening a door had the key in my mouth.
Someday hope to replace my fillings.
I do think I remember someone, maybe Gigi saying you need to only do this with a dentist that is knowledgeable and will detoxify you as you go thru this. Think the mercury needs to get out of the body immediately so it doesn't migrate.
Just my two cents. lmt

I'm so excited because 2010 is the year my metals/crowns will be cleaned up in the mouth. I had too many that went back 45 yrs.
I'm down to one huge molar that's silver upon silver filling scheduled this month. One silver crown removed in couple months. Then..........
My one and only root canal will be removed by someone that knows as much as I (no more) do about how important the clean up needs to be.
Then I'm going to do some heavy duty detoxing Gigi style this year. I know it won't be easy but on the other side it will be so much better.
Thanks Gigi for all your education with experience on our toxic mouths/bodies from heavy metals!!!!!!!

I'm aiming to replace my mercury fillings this year, on the advice of many doctors.
