Been tempted to get my amalgam fillings out for years, but I'm not 100% convinced. Some say they leak Mercury, others say utter nonsense......
I'm not one for hearsay. I want to see the facts.
So what is the best test for Mercury, blood, saliva, urine?
Thanks
I just always replace with non mercury as they fail. The debate is difficult, but a very sane and cpnventional dentist once told me: "they say it's safe, but if you saw all the health and safety regs around us storing and handling it you really wouldn't want it put in your body."
Genova offer a heavy metal toxicity test that uses a chelator so you provide a urine sample.
Edit: you'll need to go through a practitioner as they'll need to give you DMSA which is the chelator.
knackersyard,
I have used The Genova Toxic Element Clearance Profile several times (urine - NUT09).
The most common toxic metals are high numbers of mercury & lead but it is not just about the amount but the way your body processes them. We are all fast//slow detoxifiers and a small genetic subset will have further complications. I think anyone with Hashimotos & MTHFR issues should consider having amalgam removal and chelating toxic heavy metals.
It is a huge commitment to chelate not to be taken lightly as can make you feel rubbish and involves numerous additional expensive supplements. Chelating not only removes the toxic heavy metals from the body but all essential nutrients too and knowing how thyroid hormones rely on these, it is vital to keep levels optimal. I read that starting & stopping or not adequately supporting has made some people extremely ill.
If you chelate you must supplement a binder for the metals (apple pectin, bentonite clay, etc) as after being drawn out by the chelator, mercury, etc will just reattach probably at a deeper tissue level. I think this is what makes people so ill.
I cheated DMSA for six months. I still have several weeks left but have had enough of taking the huge cocktail of vitamins and minerals involved so am tailoring off. I shall test again in several months to ascertain (my hopefully much reduced) levels.
I chelated through a practitioner but there is plenty of info available on the net. There are other chelaters but DMSA seems the most commonly used and affective. It is hard on the liver and needs lots of antioxidants to support. It is available online from France.

each filling leaches 430 micrograms a day a test was carried out on a 6 year old girl when she had her first filling all of her waste was collected over the next 24 hours and the mercury weighed 430mcg.
The Australian government asked the Australian dental association to stop putting the mercury fillings into people in 2014 but they refused the ADA and other dental associations also force dentists to say fluoride is safe if they don't they lose there license, although I have no proof of this we know fluoride is from chemical fertiliser processing which is taken from the scrubbers installed to capture the smoke residue when too many people were dying in the immediate vicinity with the release of the smoke directly into the atmosphere.
The mercury affects your central nervous system. sulphur half a teaspoon 30 minutes after eating some organic fruit (resveratrol and quercetin boost uptake of sulphur) and pure gum turpentine in a bottle 1 drop in some unheated honey (increase a drop every week) are two things that remove mercury another is retsina wine (2 ounces after a meal) from your system, the problem with the removal is there are not many safe alternatives that the regular dentists use you need to go to a holistic dentist to get the truthful information
