Sailboat (I can't find the post right now) asked the other day about using microcurrent while still having amalgam fillings in the mouth. I answered her then -- basically, don't do that.
In talking to Dr. Klinghardt about that, he answered per the attached:
"Regarding amalgam fillings and the use of microcurrent:
It is almost ironical if someone has a diagnosis of Lyme disease and has not included the biologically correct removal of the amalgam fillings as an early part of their treatment.
Neurotoxins are cumulative and mercury is a more powerful neurotoxin than the ones created and released by Borrelia and co-infections.
The treatment of the microbes should follow the removal of any neurotoxic foci in the body, starting with the amalgam fillings and root fillings.
My advice rearding the use of microcurrent is dependent on the intelligent or at least common- sense-use of other therapeutic modalities in the proper order when Lyme disease is to be treated successfully. It is in my opinion not possible to treat Lyme without the removal of amalgam fillings first.
What I need to say here very strongly: many Lyme patients are using electromagnetic devices such as Rife instruments, the Doug coil and others - which are all mobilizing mercury from existing amalgam fillings. This fact leads to many catastrophic reactions which are often falsely written off as "die-off effect" or Herxheimer reaction. The same precautions apply here as the ones written for the KMT technology which deals with these problems openly and responsibly
However, if someone chooses to use microcurrent (or other EM-devices) in the presence of amalgam fillings which are constantly outgasing mercury into the brain, there are 3 options:
a) use the microcurrent while chewing on 3-5 tablets chlorella (keep the sludge in the mouth as long as treatment lasts, then spit out and rinse mouth). This will bind and eliminate (via the intestinal tract) all dental toxins mobilized by the flooding of the oral cavity with microcurrent
b) use the electrodes away from the face (i.e. hands and feet)
c) use the biofield treatment modality: 2 signal enhancers (form BioPure) are pulsed with the microbial inhibition frequencies, about 2-3 feet away from the client`s body`. This has a strong photo-optic non-electronic effect on raising specific aspects of the immune system without mobilizing mercury
Dietrich Klinghardt, MD"
Hope that answers all questions clearly.
Take care.

Are there special dentists who help us lymies with amalgam removal? Mine told me there are no studies to show amalgams are linked to chronic disease, they are perfectly safe....(and I am perfectly healthy too)!

Excellent Excellent information. Something I suspect most people don't recognize but certainly can be very important. Thanks GiGi!

Humanbeing, here is a partial list of published info involving mercury and chronic disease, etc. You might take it to your dentist. Most dentists are exposed to mercury. I know many that are getting treatment - some of them unable to work any longer. Close to 25% of Canadian dentists are on Disability. Health Canada did the survey.
There are a number of dentists that do the work well. You just have to look around - they do not advertise - just as LLMD's don't! for obvious reasons.
Good luck to you.
Here is the list for your dentist -- do print it for him:

This post got me wondering if detoxing with amalgams applied to Rechts-Regulat, foot pads, etc. as well as micro current. I think that I read here that Dr.K applies it to infra red saunas, also. Thanks for all your great posts.

I think it is unlikely that foot pads would be problematic. They are not mobilizing metals to my knowledge. They remove toxins. With the other devices discussed here, they mobilize metals. Will be interested in other people's thoughts, but I don't see foot pads as having a risk of metal mobilization.

Rechtsregulat is really a regulator of all body systems - all the 1000 enzymes contained in it affect every function our body needs to perform and is often not able to perform because of a misguided immune system. Increasing metabolism, correcting pH, cleansing of the blood, loss of vitality, sleep problems, toxic tissue. All is written up in the booklet. My advice - take it.
Dr. K. told here what he thinks of amalgams in a sick body and the use of KMT.
FIR sauna are very, very effective. However: peer reviewed literature shows that sweatting during sauna therapy elimintes high levels of toxic metals, organic compounds, dioxin, and other toxins. Sauna is ideal to mobilize toxins from its hiding places. However, during a sauna, toxic metals can als be displaced from one body compartment into another. This means mercury can be shifted from the connective tissue into the brain.
You can protect yourself somewhat with chlorella, cilantro and garlic. But he does not recommend doing Sauna in the early stages of detoxing. But rather when the bulk has been removed, and then toward the latter half of the detoxing the danger is not that great.
He does not suggest using a sauna when someone still has a mouthful of amalgams. We had our sauna very early on into my disease, but he did not recommend using it until I had detoxed metals for quite a while. I think it was almost two years for me before I got into it.
It is recommended that you constantly soak up the sweat with towels, disposing them in a bag outside the sauna. Mercury as you detox it turns into vapor, odorless, invisible, and clings to the walls! Wiping it off from your body prevents reabsorption through the skin. That stuff is b a d !!! And I am not an admirer of the dentists that tell us it's innocent.
Footpads -- I made a note of some of the side effects Dr. K. recited somewhere sometime: "The only side effect I have observed so far is the occasional irritation of the skin. In this case the pad cannot be applied with the tape provided and a switch to a non-allergic medical tape.
I have also seen the eruption of chronic underlying fungal infections at the sole of the foot. I have published a paper on the relationship between heavy metals and fungi:
Fungi store metals in their cell wall and help the body to keep the toxin in a biologically contained form. As we remove the metals from the fungi with the footpad, the immune system starts to attach the fungi int he skin and there will be inflammation, skin eruptions and discomfort. In this case I use a medical antifungal cream, evaluate the client's diet and change it. After the situation is resolved it is safe to return to the use of the pad."
Amalgams are bad news - whichever way you turn or twist it.
Take care.
