I have 3 mercury fillings left, plus crowns, plus root canals.
Someone recommended a biological dentist here in North Georgia.
What questions should I ask them when I call so I will know they are on the ball.
In Huggins book, he talks about negative electrical currents and positive electrical currents on amalgams and how the negative ones need to come out first.
I haven't seen any talk of that on here (or my lyme brain missed it). Is that something that should be asked so the proper amalgams are taken out first?

I had all mine removed, meaning amalgams and needed several new crowns. I made sure the air was correctly vented and if I remember I did some chelation afterwards.
It has been awhile and was very expensive and for me did not change my health. But I have met many people who believe it really made a difference.
What are you thinking of doing about your root canal?
Hope someone with more knowledge can give you better answers.

your wasting your time ,money and stress to your body doing anything to remove these materials unless you have been tested for galvanic reactions,allergic reactions, or evaluations on the root canals. if you are only maginal immunocompromised removing all your dental work or teeth will not make you better just alot poorer. many people feel that the only treatment for your tteeth on this site is the mercloa method, we'll much of the research mercola uses is false and misleading. he is only on the internet to make money and rip people off. he is one of 50 or so quacks on the web that are out to make money from people that are suffering. people need to read real research articles, before they decide on their treatment of their teeth. many replacement materials are just as bad if not worse than the original materials, and most improvement comes from the placebo affect and not the removal of the teeth or the fillings. i am sure gigi will come right behind me and leave ten articles on why your root canals ,fillings and teeth should be removed. just remember that she does not have a degree in dentistry and has no concept of how the teeth influence and react with other parts of the body. there is a symbyosis between all parts of the body and the teeth. did you know that one foot being 1/4 inch longer than the other is enough the throw your shoulder parallelism out of line , and cause major head and neck problems including migraines , headaches, backaches, tmj, sinus problems etc. so take caution to the wind on any internet site that is not an accreditted source of information, even lymenet.

Thank you all for your views. I have read and tried to comprehend all those previous posts.
What I really wanted was the questions to ask a dentist to know if they are qualified to safely remove amalgams. If I don't do anything else, I am going to have to have these old amalgams removed.
For example: when the receptionist answers what should I make sure I ask her: 1. What precautions do you use when removing amalgams? 2. AND SO ON
Just basic questions so my body isn't even more compromised during the procedure. I have one that will need to be taken out soon.

if concerned about mercury leakage, selenium binds mercury, and other metals, though i don't recall at the moment which other metals.
a selenium-based yeast, where in the selenium is hooked up to the amino acid methionine, would bind mercury. a slow process but it will do the job. selenium in this form is the safest form to take in high doses.

K, go to this site and start reading and checking out the other sites. Nobody is going to answer these questions for you. It is obvious I have no interest on being chomped on by some sick dentist that still hasn't figured out why he himself is so sick. It's your choice whether you want to take his advice.
Mercola is not a dentist. He gathers some great publications from peer review literature. At least he understands that mercury in the human mouth and body is toxic. I do not have the time to check all the weekly and newest publications from around the world. He does that for his readers.
Read the publication on www.altcorp.org that I have posted numerous times and someone else here gave you. It is the most updated information on current research on Root canals, and a lot more. The members of that group testify before Congress on dental issues. They are registered scientists of record for the U.S. Congress. Prof. Boyd Haley, University of Kentucky; Bob Jones, inventor of Cavitat (FDA approved), and himself a cured ALS symptom patient traveling the world lecturing and doing research the last ten years funded by foreign countries. That may tell you a thing or two. All that info is readily available for you at Altcorp.
I have posted it many times. You will just have to start informing yourself. Start gathering information so that you yourself can make an intelligent decision. Ask the dentist about it and let him tell you how he will protect you from further damage.
I don't know whether the dentist you have in mind is reputable. If a dentist does mercury-free dentistry, and is known for it, he should know how to go about it in the proper way.
If you think he is reputable, go and ask him the questions yourself. It is obvious that you are getting nothing but misinformation from the dentist on this board. Do some reading on these sites and then have a frank talk with the dentist you have in mind.
Anyone that tells me they have not improved after amalgam removal, that I can totally understand. The removal of the amalgams will change little. Because it is not solely the removal of the amalgams, it is the detoxification process that has to be done afterward. It has to be done under the guidance of a knowledgable physician. Dentists are not too well informed on that process. It takes a real doctor who can see you and follow the process afterward. Most dentists are not knowledgable about that. The mercury is not in your teeth after the removal. It is in the rest of the body and that is what keeps you sick and keeps you from getting well more quickly.
Some people don't have that problem, but most do -- amalgam fillings are bad. period. The mercury has penetrated into other body areas, mainly the head and brain area, and that is what has to be addressed. By removing the fillings only, you simply have eliminated the source for further contamination of the rest of your body. Removing the metals from the rest of the body has to be done for 2-3 years afterward. Same for removal of the toxins that the root canals are putting out. Those have to be detoxed from the body also. It can be done slowly and safely with some simple items. Anyone doing ART or similar testing can test you for the agents that will work best for you depending on where they are sitting in the body.
Who did the work for you on the amalagams that you had taken out?
If that dentist is repubable, he will be familiar with the TOPAS test that can be done in the chair to check the health of your root canals. It costs little and it will help you make a decision.
Most people that have this work done have to travel somewhere unless you are lucky and have one closeby. I do not know where you are, but note the referral service on IAOMT above. These dentists are all over the country, but you will have to find them.
Get busy looking and don't wait for others to do your legwork. I am sorry. I can recommend a wonderful dentist to do that work in British Columbia, where many people that I know travel to have it done. One of them even does ART and you have the added benefit of testing the materials, etc., the problem of occlusions that are giving some people a horrendous back problem and drainage problems. All of that I have talked about so many times.
If you wish, you can e-mail me direct -- not over this site, please -- but to [email protected] You can call me if you wish also.
Sorry for the rambling. It's late and I have had a busy day waiting for the arrival of our first grandson. So I have had other things on my mind.
Write or call.
Best of luck.
P.S. Do not take selenium in any form without the input of a knowledgable physician/practitioner. Selenium also picks up the mercury and takes it where you may not want it.
Do not attempt a mercury detox without an expert. If you look, you can find one.

Thanks GiGi and everyone else -- I appreciate all the information. I have tried to read all the past posts -- my lymie brain tends to get muddled and confused.
It's a lot to think about. Yet, I know its important.
Congratulations on your first grandson. My sister just had her first grandson last week and she's as silly as a school girl.
Mine are both 19 so its a little early yet but I can't wait.

Dentist says:
"there is a symbyosis between all parts of the body and the teeth"
That's correct.
Mercury has one heck of an effect on the brain and if that doesn't work any longer, we are in deep trouble.

I know there is someone in Knoxville that has been suggested to me and HE has a doc in K-town--private message me if you would like me to get those numbers for you--you could call and see who they suggest in North Georgia.
God bless, Linda

Since they are in his Alliance, you can bet they use his protocol correctly.
One of his Alliance doctors will be doing my remaining two wisdom teeth extractions next week. After having all mercury replaced, my immune system wants these teeth, and osteomyelitis/cavitations, under them, out!
Best of luck to you.

I checked out the other links you gave and they seem consistent with what you say. Who is this ALTCORP and why do they have conflicting articles?

Luvs2ride, consider the source. We should applaud Altcorp/Prof. Boyd Haley that they publish the American Association of Entodontists' comments on their site.
To put you at ease: why don't you have a reputable dentist perform the TOPAS tests on your five root canals. The cost is minimal and can be done in the dental chair while you are there. A good dentist should be aware of the TOPAS. Then you will know for certain. Be sure to remember that the tooth has to be agitated, tapped, chomped on, etc. a few minutes before the test is done. Because that brings the toxins to the surface to be tested with a certain strip of testing paper. Read up on it on the Altcorp site. They developed the test at the University of Kentucky years ago.
Take care.
Do a search on the internet "Prof. Boyd Haley University of Kentucke Altcorp" You will have plenty to read. Prof. Haley is Scientist of Record for the U.S. Congress on Autism. Once upon a time he had a very sick daughter. That started the ball rolling I think around 1990. His associate, Bob Jones, developed the CAVITAT and has been researching 100's of root canals, more like a few thousand. The research is mostly funded by foreign country. No lightweights.
